Comment:

Easy class as long as you read the chapters. He presents nothing useful in class, so stick with the book. Gives homework to do online quizes for each chapter, but you do them over until you have a 100. He curves like crazy. No projects or papers. Great guy, knows his stuff, just not exactly the best teacher. Easy A.

Comment:

He is aweful. Every1 I spoke to thought the same thing. He gives impossible HW problems that ppl usually have to get the tutors to give them the answers. The class average poorly on his exams. I hate this guy he would not teach the difficult portions of physics. All he does in class is drop **** and he gives 2 quizzes per wk and covers 15 CHAPs.

Very helpful if you can catch him. You will need you work on the problems on your own as he does not cover many examples in class. His tests were a mix this semester from very easy to extremely difficult.

Comment:

He doesn't care about this class whatsoever. Gives you homework from the internet, which are the EXACT questions that are on the tests, plus a presentation. Since he gives you the test questions its a very easy B+ and you can definetly get an A with a little effort

Comment:

He is very unclear, you must study on your own. Often isn't there for office hours when he says he will be. However, he lets you do test corrections which can curve your grade 25 points if you do them right. I'm not really good at physics.. but I got a B. None of the physics teachers are really good, so he's your best bet. Better than Dr. Zakzewski

Nice guy... dont bother taking notes in class. He tries to make class interesting but its alittle boring. Just read over the chapters and study for each unit test and you will be fine. tests arent that hard. no papers just a quick presentation. Worth taking.

Comment:

Unclear in class- does tons of problems and not too much teaching. But he makes physics interesting. he is a really nice guy and is very helpful in his office hours. Gave us chances to correct tests and do extra credit projects. Quizes are directly from the book. Tests are hard!!!

OMG do not take him. He is nice, but I did more studying for his stupid exams and quizzes than I would expect for a general elective. He goes over basically no material in class...BUT you are responsible for ALL the material in the chapters.

Comment:

I think hes a good teacher. His quizzes are simple. The only problem is that his tests are insane because he asks questions that relate to the tiniest things. He once asked a question about a small picture in the book like we memorize those.
