The papers chosen were challenging, but gave me a chance to get a taste of a graduate level of understanding of current research. I quite honestly have never enjoyed a course so much.

Comment:

Yeah, i had him for Phys 475, and have interacted with him around campus. I have never met a ruder person in my life (Unless you express interest in his ridiculous research) Doing well on assignments is easy, if you are prepared to get an incoherent final exam. In Summary, BIG BIG BIG JERK

Comment:

If you're taking SCI 237, ignore the other ratings. He is EXTREMELY helpful to students in this class, and definitely encourages questions all the time. Makes astronomy interesting,and pretty funny too. Love this course! (PS:I'm in Arts, so it's not TOO hard)

He is boring to listen to with his monotone voice, but his explanations and notes are excellent. If you don't fall asleep in class, you'll learn a lot of interesting things.

Comment:

I had Wesson for Phys 275 and Phys 475. Very condesending and rude to students. Felt that any student in his class unable to understand his explanation of a situaion was too dumb to be in his class.

Comment:

I had Dr. Wesson for 2 classes, Phys 275 and 475. He was unhelpful, arrogant, condecending, and actually insulted students who asked questions which he thought were beneath him to answer in class. Very smart, but only caters to students as smart as he is
