Comment:

Absolutely awful teacher. He is incredibly hard to understand during lecture. He mumbles which makes it hard to hear and his notes are hand written and hard to read. The homework problems don't relate to the test questions. He doesn't understand questions being asked. I've always got A's in math and science, but now I'm barely able to maintain a C.

His tests do not correlate with the homework and quizzes. The only two people doing well in the class have taken Calc 3 and he stresses vectors.

Comment:

I can't stress enough how horrible he is. I've never gotten anything but an A in physics/math and I'm failing his class. I spend 25 hours a week in the tutoring center, do the hw probs multiple times and can't pass his tests to save my life. Tests are nothing like homework-class avg. around 48% each test. Can't explain anything. HORRIBLE PROF!!!!

Comment:

He knows what he is doing, however he does not know how to teach. He has pre-written notes that he puts up on the screen and just reads from them. When he doesn't read from the screen his examples are funny but hard to hear. I ended up teaching myself the majority of the content of the class.

Comment:

He is really a nice professor and he is teaching you real physics. His notes is really useful and good enough to help you. He is really nice and I like him. If you have any question, you just ask him. As students, we tell the truth and show respect. Grading is based on tests and if you did all the homework, you should ace easily.

Very nice guy, but he cannot teach to save his life. He is very confusing and hard to hear, the only good thing is all of the quizzes are extra credit.

Comment:

You kind of need to seat in the first two rows to be able to listen, but if you do the right things it's EASY. He pretty much tells you what kind of question it's gonna be in the exam. Needs some work, but it's straight forward.

Comment:

Knew exactly what he was talking about. Too bad we couldn't hear him and when we did, we couldn't understand his english. His tests are unfair!!! Don't expect to pass without studying for hours and hours teaching yourself the material.

Comment:

Don't expect to follow his lectures. He's a smart guy and tries to help you if you need it, but he's not at all good at teaching. I found the material in both of these classes rather difficult. The labs, on the other hand, aren't so bad.

I had him in lab with Dr. Shih. He was very helpful and nice. The only thing was that I had to listen to him very carefully because he was hard to understand.
