Comment:

Very nice and helpful professor. This is my 2nd class with Dr. Ho. I don't understand the other ratings. Go and ask Dr. Ho if you have questions; he'll explain... Tests are fine - exactly what to expect. He does take off a lot of points, even for small mistakes. Yes, you do have to learn from the textbook somewhat, but that's very common in physics

Comment:

Unless you are good with math and can teach yourself, he is not very helpful. His method is to do questions on the board and assigns homework. He doesn't teach the concepts very well and goes off on tangents. His accent makes it hard to understand him. He is a nice guy, but he's not a very helpful instructor.

Comment:

i would not recommend him at all! if you have never taken physics before, do not learn from him. He doesnt help you if you ask for any help! The only positive thing is that he is grading scale is very generous

Comment:

Extremely tough class! I had to work for the grade I wanted. At first, it was hard to understand the teacher's accent...I adjusted to it later. He's really friendly and helpful (if you ask). Take his class at your own caution. He is a bit strict with grading. so good luck!

Comment:

He is a horrible teacher. Can not understand a word he says. Save the trouble and take a different teacher. He took of 15 pts off one of my test problems becasue I didnt have a picture for him to follow. One of the worst teachers at WSU.

Comment:

He's a strict grader...For example, on tests he takes 10 (or more) points if you don't watch your signs or forget to divide a number. Other than that, he's a nice person and helpful if you ask. He's kinda hard to understand sometimes, but he recognizes that--he doesn't mind repeating things though! cool guy...take his class only if you want to put

Comment:

He is a good teacher, the best among all of the physic teachers there are on campus. Only need 85% to get an A. There are 5 exams and he drops the lowest one. Each exam has 4 questions and 2 of them out of the homework. Not so bad!

Comment:

After the first few classes you can begin to understand him; however, his teaching needs work. He would much rather teach calc-based physics and has no desire to teach algebra-based. Homework was moderate, tests were difficult!

Comment:

An interesting teacher. If you show up to class and do the homework, you'll do fine in Dr. Ho's classes. If you don't put any effort into it, you won't. His lectures were more interesting than others from the physics dept., and I liked how he related topics in the class to practical technology and events (the "why does this matter" thing).

Comment:

Could not have made it more confusing if he had tried. Has no set way of doing calculations, very random, leaving you with no clue how to start on a given problem. Test are 4 questions, at least 2 of them won't follow the homework. Save yourself the trouble and do not take this class from him.

Comment:

I do not know why he has to tell his life story (he is trying to make us believe that he is very smart) OK, man, we believe you. Being smart is one thing, having the teaching ability is another. He cannot teach, if his life would depend on it. I would not recommend him at all.Choose Behrman or Axman

Comment:

he is a very smart man-but he goes through the book too fast. he never has time to answer your questions because it takes up too much time and when you ask a question he makes you feel stupid by the way he talks to you.
