Comment:

There's a joke about lectures being a great way for teachers to transfer statements from the book to the blackboard -- and for students to move information from the board to notebooks -- without the knowledge passing through the heads of anyone. Labs can help remedy this. Some subjects (e.g., justiceharvard.org) can benefit from lectures as labs.

Comment:

Mr. P. is a really awesome teacher. He is very passionate about his subject and great at relating it to his students, which naturally makes physics fun rather than bore everyone to death. He wants people to come to class, but only because he wants to tell you about the wonders of physics (and at times surfing) so take his class!

Very NICE and helpful guy. He is the clearest guy around. HOwever, this is not a cake walk easy A. You are going to have to work/study. If your thing is physics... Go for it! If it's not, still go for it. Just keep study time available.

Extremely easy going, mellow teacher. Many students take advantage of his relaxed attitude. Been teaching at Saddleback since it opened. You'll get out of the course what you put in. Get an A and learn something or get an A and don't, it's up to you.

Very cool teacher. He really wants to make sure people understand the material. Very helpful if you can't understand something. Labs are a bit long, but are easy and informal.

Not my favorite teacher. Does not really teach how to solve problems, teaches at a conceptual level. Great if you just want to pass the class, but not great if you're a physics major and really want to understand.
