Good teacher, but the class is ridiculously hard. Final exam is irrelevant to all sample and review exams given. Does crazy curving at the end though, 45% was a C- and passing.

This class is very difficult. No matter which professor you get, you will most likely fail if you don't study like crazy. Zych makes physics easier to understand, but it still sucks. go to study sessions and office hours. good luck.

Comment:
Take this class if you want to fail. You won't a higher than a C in this class. You will pretty much get no greater than a 10% on midterms and quizzes because TAs grade like machines. You basically don't credit at all for writing down random junks on midterms and final.

Comment:
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. More than half of my class got F's even though his class is slightly curved. You be luck to get 20/100 on midterms and final exam because the TAs grade so hard. You will get bunch of zeros on your homework problems because you don't even get particial credit. You will regret taking this class. Please avoid him.

Comment:
There is an adjusted grading scale and it is based upon the average on the class. I think his test are easy if you understand to do the homework and go to discussion. Concepts are difficult, but his test are straight from the homework. Sample midterms are harder the actually test. The average weighted score was 55, so don't fear Zych.

Comment:
some of these comments are really misleading. Prof. Zych is probably the easiest physics Prof. out there if that's what you are looking for. His tests are really just hw probs. final has a huuuuuuuuuuuge curve to it. i would take him just for his experiments. if you want an easy A without doing more work than needed pick Prof. Zych.

Comment:
First two midterms were decent, but the final was practically written in a forgein language. After the 2 midterms had a A-..after final had a C+. He basically writes everything on the board from the powerpoint slides during lectures so no need to go, although experiments are rather entertaining.

His midterms were ok, but the final was very difficult, like nothing learned in class. Print out his power points, otherwise you barely have enough time to copy down information, yet alone understand what he's trying to teach you.

All notes are powerpoint. Practice midterms and such are a waste of your time to do because the actual exam problems are nothing like them. Pretty Hard teacher.
