It's a shame Tony's not around anymore. He's a smart guy who knows his stuff. Sure, physics is not easy, but Tony tells you what you need to know in order to appreciate physics. Don't get me wrong this class is not easy. It's a pain, but it will pay off. Do the homework and draw out what you see in your mind. Good luck, I put 15hrs/wk. = B (solid).

Tony is a good guy. I'd drink a beer with him for sure. He is a spaz however. The class is difficult material, no matter who you take it with. Tony is a good teacher. Most helpful prof i've ever had. CRAZY CURVE. He could make tests a little easier. I heard he's better now than from previous semesters.

Tony is an amazing professor. He interacts with his students during lecture and makes Physics more interesting. He makes sure the students understand the material before he moves on to something else. He has a great personality, and can actually make the students laugh. I really loved having Tony as a professor!!

Tony is a good professor and an even better guy. His style is different than other physics teachers', but if you put the work in and go to his office hours you can do well. Speak up in class.

Alright, Physics is Physics but Tony did a really good job with what he has. There is some work involved but not a lot. Class is optional although class work is extra credit. Study for tests! If you do well enough you dont have to take the final! Website is awesome, very helpful. Give him a chance.

Comment:

The Instructer is crazy alive. He refuses to just teach the basics to us. He gets fustrated with zombie students. He wants interaction. He wants you to get the meaning and understanding more than the answer. He is crazy funny. Quantum Physics is his fav subject. Go to off hours, he won't let you leave. My fav prof. I got an B+ but I worked for it.

Comment:

His outlook is demanding. He wants you to practice solving many problems. He does lots examples in class and on his website. He animates the problem solving process on his website! He wants us to compete with Stanford undergrads. I talk with Tony. He is great in office hours. He pushes you to speak and write on his white board. Be ready---he is.

Comment:

These ratings can't be real. This guy isn't superman. He has a difficult job. Every bio major has to take 180A-B, so the interest in the class is like 0. I never thought this guy is at all funny. I never thought he is all that bright. He gives lots of extra credit, which helps students raise grades. The extra credit is kind of fun.

Do the work he assigns and go to his office hours when you need help and I promise you will not fail this class. His lecturing style is quick as well as humorous. If you want to stay awake and actually enjoy the three hours a week you spend in class, take Tony. Also, read the textbook and use his website, they help quite a bit.

Comment:

Cool teacher. He's got a unique style that you'll either love or hate. I had a Tues/Thurs class so it worked out good for me. Class is almost like a motivational pep talk to go out and do physics, but in a cool way. It's kind of hard to explain. Pretty much any prof who's got their picture on this website is legit and cares. I'd recommend him.

Comment:

probably one of the top 5 teachers at this school. ALWAYS looking to help students raise their grades with office hours, in class free points, fairness points on tests, easy grader, everything. always joking around, but takes physics very seriously which is necessary in a class like this. loved the guy and you will too.

Comment:

Tony's funny, nice, and really tries to be helpful. His teaching method is no the best, but if you practice using the formulas and do the problems on WebAssign then you should pass the class no problem. He wants to help, so if you're the kind of person who likes to meet during office hours, then go, but go prepared.

Comment:

WEBSITE IS VERY USEFUL AND INTERACTIVE. COMMUNICATES WELL THROUGH EMAIL. STUDY GUIDES FOR TEST ARE HELPFUL. TESTS ARE DIFFICULT. HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS ARE TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. TESTS WERE MULTIPLE CHOICE/FREE RESPONSE. FREE RESPONSE WERE CHALLENGING. SOME OF THEM WERE GONE OVER IN CLASS THOUGH WHICH HELPED A LOT. HAS LARGE AMOUNT OF FREE FAIRNES POINTS
