Looks like Adam West, but he's still my favorite all time professor! You better know your math though!

Comment:
This is the only professor I didn't like that I would recommend. He doesn't sound like he is speaking to the class when he is teaching, which is weird. He wrote the textbook and teaches word for word from the book. The class covers chapters 10-15, which are totally unrelated. He is a very serious person, but intends to be helpful I think.

Comment:
Kusse is one of the most iconic professors you will ever have. Students will fear him and love him at the same time. He knows his material, but isn't the most willing to look at problems another way or admit he is wrong. In any case, he's a cornerstone to the AEP degree, so you might as well learn to love him.

Kusse is a strange guy. Sometimes if you see him in the hallway and he'd look like he doesn't want to talk to you, but he's actually helpful and nice if you approach him with questions. His classes are tough -no questions about that. The problem sets take a long time to do, but everyone should get a decent grade if you put enough effort into it.

Knows the subject inside and out. Very clear and well-prepared lectures. He's also guaranteed to make a few hilarious remarks throughout the semester. 321 and Kusse are unique to the AEP experience.

Comment:
One of the few professors who really cares about the students. He, unlike most professors, shows his respect for you as an intellectual. He is definitely well-liked by most students. Also, his book is very clear. Tied with Tomas Arias as best professor I've had at Cornell.

Comment:
haha, what can you say? he wrote the book on mathematical physics. no, really, he did. his lectures are good, but homework takes like 3 hours per problem. It's a class worth taking, but if you're aep you don't really have a choice so you might as well enjoy it. be warned: sometimes he eats students for lunch.

Comment:
One of the best professors in the engineering college. He knows the material intimately and he literally wrote the book. Witty and patiently helpful with the rather difficult problem sets. Almost always an extremely lucid lecturer. Although repeated questions that fluster him are met with sarcasm, his style is pretty much lighthearted teasing.

He knows the material very very well and can explain anything. Extremely helpful - whenever problem sets are due he will walk into u-grad lounge where people are working on them and ask if anyone is stuck or needs help. Will spend as much time as you need with you personally to help you understand it. Best Professor at Cornell.

Comment:
As a instructor, Kusse does not present any material not mentioned in the text book he wrote. He is very helpful and clear and knows the material very well. Also very funny and witty; some students may not like his sarcasm, but I always find it funny. First professor in Cornell who actually seems like a teacher and not just a lecturer.

Best professor I have had so far. Though students like to give him a bad reputation, and he likes to pretend to live up to it, he knows the material cold, is very helpful, and really cares about your education. He's a genuinely nice guy if you give him a chance.
