Nothing to say that has not already been said about kidney stones. This guy is beyond bad and you need to do everything in your power to avoid him. (ex. see Vosbury, Esser)

Comment:
Had him for both 103 and 104. Covers a lot of material. Very smart but as a result doesnt thoroughly solve problems, only condenses them to algebraic solutions. Tests can be difficult.You have to pay attention and take notes as well as study the textbook if you hope to get an A.

Comment:
The only thing getting me through this class is what I remembered from high school. Knows what he's talking about, but can't teach worth a crap. Skips many steps when demonstrating problems on the board and refuses to explain them, even when we ask! Considering how much we pay to go to school here, Riddle really should have better profs...

Comment:
Worst teacher ever! Should be fired for the amount of student who fail and barely pass his class with a D. Yeah he curves but when he teaches, he goes too fast and you wont learn a thing! Avoid at all cost! Dont even use him as a last resort because you will end up doing alot worse than what your capable of

He is a good teacher. IDK what all the PS103 people do and why they dont like him. he knows his stuff and u can read his handwriting on the board. Test a lil hard but it is physics so what can u expect. Do ur homework because it helps u learn for the tests. i'd take him again.

THIS GUY IS A HORRIBLE TEACHER!! AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS. I CANT BELIEVE THAT THIS SCHOOL WOULD ALLOW THIS MAN TO CONTINUE TEACHING HERE. THE ONLY GOOD THING, ARE THE MASSIVE CURVES HE GIVES TO HIS STUDENTS WITH THE 40% AVERAGE. BY THE WAY HIS JOKES SUCK! BOTTOM LINE: DO NOT EVER TAKE THIS TEACHER!!!!!!!!

Comment:
The only thing that can give the man some good ratings are his silly jokes about elephants, rockets, and mice. Somehow, during -every- class, he would be able to pull it off by introducing at -least- one situation with a rocket or an elephant. His energy brings comedy, but you find this can easily fade when you think about his poor teaching style.

I hated this class, and the professor. Don't take McKisson. This class was difficult and the tests were hard. I'm lucky I passed.

Only thing that got me through the class was a great physics teacher in high school. Frequently assigns "red" (highest difficulty) problems for homework, which he can't even do. He's an electrical engineer--not a teacher, which all students will quickly find out. Only thing that saved me was a major curve on the tests (got 122 on one). Skip him!

Thinks everyone in the class knows what's going on, but he couldn't be more wrong. Flies through as many problems as he can each class without actually ever finishing any (you can finish it on your own...), most people just sitting with puzzled looks on their faces. Tests are pretty hard although he curves a bit. Would not recommend.

Comment:
I should have failed. I missed the first test. I only did 1 out of 10 homeworks. I got D's on the tests I did take, except for one I got a C. I got a D on the final. I have no idea how I even passed, much less got the C he gave me. So I cant complain, but I will anyway. Instead of teaching for the final, he teaches what he wants. Not good.

Comment:
If you have a question you're better off asking a classmate. He loves to make you think about the question. You pretty much have to already know the answer to get anything useful out of him. The class itself isn't that hard, but it could be a lot easier if he gave some insight into some of the circuits.

he is a very good teacher, he explins things very well, he is a physics dork but that makes him funny because of it. you will still work for your grade, but he will be one of the best teachers to actualy teach you the material.

One of the more clear physics instructors I've had. Offers office hours for anyone, though most of time he's in there doin research. Tests balance both conceptual and analytical questions. Quizzes don't count for much, just attend, pay attention, take notes and you'll pull off a B easy.
