Apparently, teaching is his second job. I get the feeling that he is 'putting up with me' when I visit his office outside of class.

he's not really clear and strays from the book a lot, he also makes a lot of mistakes that will screw you over if your no careful. Overall he's pretty easy though..

alot of people think he is a bad lecturer, but if you read the book thoroughly before you go to class, youll find that he is actually a great lecturer. but he skips some steps. final was tricky

his midterm was ridiculously easy, it was like 10th grade all over again. But his final was basically a cut and paste of the AP test which was challenging. But due to the low curve it is so easy to get an A or even A+

The nature of the freshman seminar is easy. He tells great stories, but is something of a braggart. He's a cool guy, though.

His class is ridiculous. He goes off on wild tangents. My advice, don't even go to his lectures. Went to his lectures everyday b4 the midterm and gotta a C- stopped going to lectures and got an A on final. Use your discussion TA. Goto Disc not Lec.

Comment:
His final was a joke; ridiculously harder than it had to be, plus it wasn't like the HW he assigned and seemed to have more in common with his research than with basic physics. Terrible teacher, and teaches only to the VERY top of the class(like 2 people)

Horrible teacher. Lectures are pointless. He jumps around to much and his exams are hard. He pulled problems from chapters 8 and 10, when he said that those chapters were not going to be on the final. If you are placed with him switch professors.

If you wanna hear interesting random story or wanna sleep, go to class. Read the book, do your homework. If he says there are quizzes and hw collections alternating throughout discussions, don't cross your fingers and hope it will be a quiz. DO HW!

horrible horrible teacher. you learn more from doing hw problems assigned by other professors and copying answers from other professor's websites. his final does not cover anything from physics 7a...it covers materials from 7b...!! wtf?!
