Comment:
iClicker questions count towards participation credit and there are several per lecture so attendance is virtually mandatory. He speaks sort of slowly and not very concisely, and has an accent, but is not difficult to understand. Somewhat charming in his awkwardness. Dont be like me. Go to class and do your homework; the grade isnt hard to get.

Jeevak Parpia is the worst professor you'll find at Cornell. In short it's professors like him who give Cornell professors a bad name. He doesn't care about his students at all and absolutely hates teaching. This man has a serious problem.

Comment:
If he is teaching, take the FULL LECTURE VERSION. He knows his physics, but is NOT a nice person. Extremely unapproachable and gave me PTSD after my encounters with him. Seriously. I have flashbacks and nightmares. Not at all helpful and talks down to people. Why would he teach a class for non-majors who don't even WANT to take physics???

Comment:
This class takes more time than any other class I have ever taken. I'm in the learning center everyday doing labs and getting help. So far all of my friends (3 total) have dropped this course. I'm trying to stay in but I may end up dropping as well. The TAs are helpful but the scoring/workload for an autotutorial is ridiculous.

might as well go and talk to a wall for help...maybe he knows physics but that doesn't mean he can teach it

Comment:
This professor is quite possibly the worst ever. He was unhelpful, not understanding, condescending, and generally a horrible teacher. Physics 102 was also a horrible class and I would never recommend it, especially if Parpia is the professor in charge.

Comment:
While the TAs do their best to help you, the material is hard and you do have to teach it to yourself. Also, the organization of the class is awful and the random rules about using only one TA and taking tests at certain times make it really difficult. Dr. Parpia himself is very helpful, though.

Comment:
This is more a comment on the course, since everyone has different TAs. The TAs that I have communicated with were very helpful and clear in their explanations. However, every point counts towards your raw score, so if you get 1 point offm you get 1 point off your entire raw score. The physics format is very flawed. Take 208 if you can.
