Comment:

Horrible professor. Only words in his vocabulary are "Remember?" and "as you'll come to appreciate". So boring and rude. He is knowledgeable but is just plain boring and not interesting. Do not look forward to the class. The Exam is very had as are all his tests. TA assignments are easy. He sucks.

Comment:

I love this class. It is very simple for people without a background in science and Jeffers portrays the concepts very clearly with lots of illustrations. He will draw the same diagram on the board everyday so you surely understand. He even takes a class to explain the labs, despite that it's the TA's job. He's very interactive on Moodle and email.

Comment:

His class is just hard. He made me hate science more than ever. The course break down is brutal. I believe it was 40-50% for the final. If you are not physics person at all, DO NOT THINK of taking this course. You would regret yourself as writing your petition form at the end of this course.

Punctual, respectable and knowledgeable professor. But low tolerance for ignorance. Having interest in the subject at hand is KEY to earning a good grade here.

This prof. is not as bad as people are saying he is. I got a B+ in this course so its not too hard. Test are easy, exam was okay, assignments are easy to ace. You don't have to come to class to get a good mark. Just read the textbook and do every second problem in the sections you do. If you do the problems + read the txt you can do well.

DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE!! if you need this course for some harder physics like 1410 or something then go take gr.12 in nightschool or something. this man is unclear in his lectures not to mention boring as hell. he expects you to know too much material in a short amount of time and doesnt provide eqt sheet on top of this for tests.

Comment:

He is the worst prof I have had in my 3 years at York. He has no passion in his teaching, and that comes out in his lectures. He breezes through concepts and does not explain them well at all. It's like he's lecturing to himself. Does not engage the class and does not encourage questions. arrogant person, not approachable.

Comment:

he is high class, i respect profs that are serious about teaching which is rare. you will learn more in a class where the prof is serious. if you want it easy, then you are in the wrong place. This is a university not a coffee shop. so stop interrupting. maybe then you will have something nice to say too. And get an A

Comment:

Prof. Jeffers is a great lecturer. I am a politics major and A'ced the course completely. Just go to the labs and make sure you study. You'll do well. I find it interesting that many of the comments are negative.Though I think they are negative because students are not disciplined enough out of high school.I guess you'll have to watch me get my As

Comment:

ridiculously horrible prof. DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE. he speaks in scientific gibberish and lectures as if speaking to the chalkboard. he doesn't care if you understand, as long as spurts out what he has to. i did not understand one thing this man said and i went to every lecture. please, for your own sanity, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.

Comment:

the worst experience yet,if you have a choice to flip your course,do it right now.every sentence spoken by the professor sounds the same, you just cannot pay attention to what he is doing in class for more than 10mins. he barely cares about the students.going to class is useless, the labs are far better.i hope i never have to face such a prof ever.

Comment:

Knows how to teach a class and make even science interesting. Yes, he is somewhat oldfashioned and hates it when people interrupt his class by walking in late, talking too loud or reading a newspaper. "DO IT SOMEWHERE ELSE," he says. But I respect that. oh, and gotta love his British accent :) lol

Comment:

Doesn't know how to teach, goes off topic all the time, blabs on and on about stupidness!! Just puts up stupid slides (pictures) and blabs about them. Too damn lazy to prepare proper lectures. No point in going to class. As a person he's just damn rude and miserable. Never in my life have I seen a professor like this!! Hated this class..
