Comment:
He is a very interesting professor. He's very erratic, and has a weird sense of humor. He can be quite unclear sometimes, but if your high school physics was ok, there wont be too much of a problem. He really tries to help you get better marks. One of the better physics professors.

Comment:
Taught E&M II at a very high level. Followed graduate textbook we weren't assigned. Fortunately, he's willing to go very slowly and the assignments were generally very easy. After Barton for I, this class disappointed me, as I didn't take that much E&M knowledge from it.

Comment:
Horrible professor. He is very nice as a person and wants to help, but he is really terrible at teaching. He goes on and on about theory and VERY little application and he forgets and repeats topics, so u do the same problem for two classes. VERY disorganized. ALL labs were due LAST DAY of classes... RIGHT before exams. I never learned so little.

Comment:
Nice guy, but unorganized, especially with due dates. During lectures he emphasized theory and long winded explainations rather than simple explainations. He is more relaxed on grading than most professors, and does try to help his students though.

Comment:
He's basically a white Steve Urkel, the ultimate nerd stereotype. On the other hand, he's one of the best Physics teachers at RIT, allows test corrections, and will put off lab due dates until they cannot be turned in. He's not great, but he's a lot better than others. He wastes time doing proofs aso you can sleep through those.

Comment:
this man is crazy. he's probably the nerdiest person I've met in my life. He's like Bill Nye except not cool. If no one understands assignments, he'll keep putting them off. Tests are much easier than anything we do in class. Uses WAY too many variables in math problems before substituting numbers in, making it very confusing.

Comment:
He is one of the better physics teachers. Takes the time to explain things to the class and go over them. ALLOWS TEST CORRECTIONS!! You can get 60% of your missed points back after corrections. I would take him again if I could. He's a little on the dorky side, but fun none the less.

This guy is crazy...it only took me one class to figure it out. Easy to understand if your Albert Einstein. But he's nice.
