Comment:

Myron has literally been my favorite professor. Period. He's great at explaining difficult concepts and is very approachable. The only downside to this class was the daily homework four days per week. He tries very hard to help students in class and is willing to help if you just stop by his office. I'd definitely take another course with him.

Comment:

I wish Myron Campbell were my dad. Truly an awesome physics teacher for E & M. Assigned difficult homework to prepare us well for the fairly-moderate exams. Generous curve; allows you to worry about learning the material and not so much about the number of points you have in the class.

Comment:

Myron is AMAZING! He makes funny nerdy jokes during class. Each lecture starts with us asking questions and that brought up a lot of interesting conversations. He teaches deeper material than required. He pushed his students hard. But if you don't like physics that much you probably will be annoyed by his everyday homework. But I loved it!

Comment:

Myron is a fantastic human, but he's really not clear on what should actually be expected in a second semester physics class. There were homework sets due almost every single day, and the homework was very difficult. He spends too much time deriving equations and not enough on physical applications. He expected math up through diff eq & linear.

Comment:

Not gonna lie, I hated this class at first because of how hard it was & how much I was struggling. But I got used to the difficulty and started really paying attention during lecture. Myron has the typical "physics humor" and the best one-liners that are terrible but hilarious. He also cares about you understanding the material.

Comment:

Myron is a wonderful honors teacher. He is very knowledgeable and very easy to approach. His homeworks are sometimes too elevated for the class's skill level I believe, but this is not a hard class to get an A in if you do all of the work to your best potential.

Myron is a funny guy and very helpful during lectures. He will answer questions for twenty minutes if he needs to. You can tell hes very passionate about what he does. There's also so much extra credit, its hard not to get an A as long as you do the work

Comment:

Very boring lectures, and unhelpful as well. Myron is not approachable, he'll act like you're an idiot, even if it's a legit question. Grades for Lecture, Discussion, and MasteringPhysics can be opted out at the beginning of the term, and have your exams make up more (or all) of your grade. Discussion is extremely helpful and exams aren't too hard.

Comment:

Lectures are not helpful - he glosses over complicated concepts and spends too much time on easier ones. Quizdom questions often have no relevance to that particular lecture, and are rarely explained afterwards. Makes students feel stupid for asking questions, either one on one or in lecture. Try to take this class with a different professor.

Comment:

Campbell is extremely knowledgeable. Lectures are not particularly helpful, but he uses Quizdom, so you have to be there. Discussion is essential. It helps the cause for this more challenging course.

His lectures were not particularly helpful. He would write down LOTS of equations without adequately teaching concepts.

Comment:

He clearly knows his stuff. Covers the entire textbook so the material just breezes by ridiculously, at times covering two chapters in a lecture. Discussions will help you learn the stuff better. Exams are not particularly difficult, lots of conceptual stuff so you have to read the textbook. Worth taking if the class is a one-time requirement.

Comment:

His lectures do not prepare you for Homework or exams. He is more interested in asking questions in a creative than asking questions that test your knowledge. This mean you may understand a topic 100% yet still get the wrong answer because the question is oddly worded.

Comment:

Covers a large amount of material but gives clear explanations. Class was difficult, but he was very understanding when it came to homework sets. I highly recommend him as a professor, he is extremely nice and soft spoken, and you'll learn a lot in his class.

He cannot teach material clearly, and does not cover exception cases which he specifically tests on.

Although Physics is a horrific class, he is such an entertaining smirky little man.
