He rocks. He teaches the material very well and cracks jokes to make things interesting. He gives weekly quizzes so students have to study each week and wont fall behind. No midterms. He cares about the students and sometimes changes the quiz times in favor of the students.

Comment:
Amazing dude. He doesn't lecture, he TEACHES. Knew nothing about physics prior to the class, he made it seem not easy but clear. Gave lots of hints as to how to solve problems. Quizzes and final exam from HW problems. Go to office hours!!!! Makes physics enjoyable. Great personality and knows the material front and back.

Physics for non science majors! He is a fun guy and does really cool demonstrations. make sure to pass the quizes because those add up to a midterm. In general, not a difficult class if you pay attention, attend, and do the practice problems correctly. VERY FUNNY guy.

Comment:
As much as I like Norm, he's not the easiest teacher to learn from. He's great at connecting with the students, but I found myself skipping lectures because I learned virtually nothing in them. Read, do the homework, & Study your quizzes for the final and the curve should get you an A or B.

Very nice, but not a great professor. Have to retake the course but there is a pretty decent curve. Did well in high school physics, so probably reflects the teaching ability.

RUN!!!!!!!! Seriously, he doesnt do well explaining concepts at all, he's way too focused on making a stupid joke in class. TERRIBLE TESTS. His quizzes suck; he was better as a TA. I have to retake the class and I pray to God hes not the teacher!!!

He's a pretty good teacher. Really nice and helpful during his office hours. Likes to crack a lot of jokes, though sometimes it's a bit corny. He's not that bad looking, just extremely short...like a leprechaun... yeah...

A good lecturer. Knowledgeable in his subject and clear in his explanations. About 50 percent of his demonstrations have gone wrong and he moans about it, but that adds to the amusement.

he is such a great ta, very enthusiastic about physics, and will keep you awake in class. i knows what hes talking about and gets the class involved to make sure they understand the concept. maybe the course is just hard, but this is probably the best ta you're going to find anywhere.

Norman is an awesome TA. He explains concepts well and is very helpful. I think he would make a great professor one day if he decides to teach physics.

This guy...is the coolest, greatest TA I've ever had. He is seriously hilarious. I thought he was a student because he even knew/joked with other students in the first class! He's also REALLY good at the material. Clear; thorough.
