He's a nice man, but he's utterly incompetent. It's astonishing that he gets paid for this.

Comment:
I can't even say he is the worst teacher I have ever had in my life because he simply does not teach. I strongly suspect that he uses the same problem sets year after year, never bothering to correct prominent mistakes and slowly forgetting how he even arrived at the answers. Tests would be easy if they were not unfair.

Comment:
Waste of my time. The man is nearly killing any interest I once had in majoring in Physics. Though he is very nice and has a warm personality, he is a disgrace to the department, the school, and the students, as a teacher.

Absolutely worthless. The day he retires will be the best thing to happen to Connecticut College in years.

Comment:
He's extremaly boring and gives the impression that he doesn't know how to solve the problems. He just sticks to his notes and if someone suggests a second way to solve the problem he gets very confused and spends half an hour to figure out if it's possible to use that way.

Comment:
Many of his weaknesses are pretty well documented in other comments. As for his strengths, he has a very friendly and warm personality. And very passionate about his subject. I always found him to be willing to help any student that needed extra assistance.

Comment:
I only wear slip-on shoes to his class because I would probably hang myself if I had some laces. I think that any knowledge I had of science before taking his class has been depleted just by being there. I would shoot myself in the face before ever taking another class with him.

Comment:
Where did this guy get his teaching certification?!!? It is very clear that he has no clue how to teach students in a way that makes sense. He is by far the worst professor I have ever encountered and made general physics much more complicated and confusing then it needed to be.

Comment:
I feel bad giving him a bad review, but I bet he wouldn't even care. His assignments bear witness to the fact that he has no enthusiasm or energy to really TEACH you. Instead, you will do dumb busy work just to get your grade and get outta there.

Passionate about his subject. Blunt. Funny. He's straight up,what you see is what you get, and once you realize that, the class is much easier to enjoy. He's not trying to trick anyone, just help them develop an interest for science.
