Comment:

Dr. W is one of the best teachers at Behrend. If you put in some work, he'll get you throughthe course. The material is hard (seriously its physics) but as long as you don't have a 'business-major' attitude and actually show up and do work you'll pass. This guy is what EVERY PHYSICS PROF SHOULD BE LIKE! I hate physics and I love Dr. W!

Comment:

Power Point... This course is a basic introduction to electromagnetism and he makes the lectures boring, the Power Ranger swords and some demonstrations make it interesting. He helps outside of class and is always friendly. Attendance is not required but going helps, and you might have a chance to meet with Vic Voltage.

Comment:

Although the material taught in college physics can be challenging at times, Dr. W. does a great job explaining the material. Also, he usually has office hours the day before the homework is due, so if you are stumped on your homework, he is more than happy to explain problems.

Very pleasant and helpful professor. Willing to help you if you don't understand something. Class is hard, but that's how it's supposed to be. If you put enough time into it you ought to be able to pass without much trouble.

Material and hw can be very challenging, but he does an excellent job of explaining. Super friendly. Tests are not too difficult. Class simply requires some work on the student's end

Hands down, the best teacher I have ever had in my life. Dr. W is incredibly friendly and helpful. . .and he definitely knows his material. He actually made class fun to attend almost every day with his creative ideas for learning. Just an overall great guy.

Excellent teacher. Would highly recommend. Will definitely help you out. Physics is hard but he made it quite easy if you applied yourself. I really wish more professors were like him.

Weekly webhomework (on utexas) is manageable, tests are much easier than 211 with Mr. Hall, not the best at presenting material but you'll be alright because the tests are easy

Comment:

He is a super nice guy and definately willing to help. But he is very unclear sometimes in class and doesnt finish all examples. His homework is doable as long as u have ppl to meet w/. The tests are a defiante challenge but he doesnt grade harshly. :)
