Comment:

Professor Nejat is the cornerstone of the physics department. He loves the subject and really wants his students to succeed. However, his classes are by no means easy. You have to definitely be willing to put in work to do well. He expects you to read ahead and do homework that in addition to the labs and Loncapa take up a lot of time.

caring prof that you can tell he truly wants you to succeed. Although lectures are hard to follow along, and when you try to go home and read them online, none of the questions have any solutions to them. tests were very difficult and multiple choice was impossible. wouldnt really recommend as a prof,but seehim in his office hours is really helpful

Nejat was a legendary prof to have his random in-class pop quizzes kept everyone on their toes, but you could tell that he really did care that his students succeed and inspired us to a high standard.

Comment:

His accent is really hard to understand. He rushes through the whole lecture and only gives a minute to solve questions that would take at least 5 minutes to solve. Therefore, You end up understanding nothing. I studied off youtube for the whole course and my grade wasn't too bad. The only reason I went to lectures was for the iclicker questions.

Comment:

Studied for his class more than any other ENG1 course yet barely passed... the way he taught was confusing and learning on your own from his slides is very hard because of the way the slides are. Also puts important questions in lectures but doesn't provide a solution to them. Wouldn't recommend

"Find your knowns, find your unknows, the rest is math, and do you want a microphone?" are what you're gonna hear from Dr. Nejat. Dr. Nejat is easily the best physics a prof a student can have who really cares with all his heart that we learn and do well in exams. Really accessible outside class and appreciates it when someone works hard.

Great prof! His classes are quite entertaining and engaging. You won't ever dreadfully stare at a clock waiting for his class to be over. He's funny, passionate about physics, and good at explaining concepts. He picks on people to answer questions so be prepared for that!! It's great that he does that, makes you pay attention.

Comment:

Given the complex nature of the nuclear physics, his explanations were very clear but missing depth. Nejat is an amazing professor and a human; very friendly, doesn't try to avoid you, and reasonable. I respect him a lot.

ONE MINUTE READ, ONE MINUTE ANSWER - proceeds to allow 2-3 minutes for iclicker answers while hovering over the end poll button in anticipation.

Comment:

"Draw Free Body Diagram", "Next by you" are only a few of his catchphrases that I will miss from this class. He really engages the students and tries to make the lectures funny and less intimidating. Enter his class you would not only learn physics but just life in general. Awesome prof. Try to have physics class with him as much as possible.
