Easy class. I didnt buy the book and I still got an A. Just pay attention to lectures and clicker questions and you will pass. Lectures can get boring. Midterm and final are a huge chunk of your grade so do well. Do the quizzes and you will get full credit. Extra credit opportunity at the end. Easy but boring class.

He really is a great professor. If you put in effort to your online extensions and quizzes, he will give you full credit. You have to go every day because he gives multiple clicker quizzes per class, but he will give you the answers. Extra credit at end of semester which helps. He wants everyone of his students to pass and do well. Solid choice.

I never had taken physics before but I am glad I took it with this professor. He cares about his students and about them passing the class. BUY THE TEXTBOOK & SHOW UP TO CLASS! He gives clicker questions each class for credit and you fill in your textbook as he lectures. The exams aren't difficult IMO. He gives an extra credit assignment too.

He is very helpful, has amazing lectures that include videos and make the subject very easy to comprehend, I learned so much in this class that I was constantly talking about Physics. He is a very easy grader but you do have clicker quizzes that you need to go to class to get the points.

He's such a nice professor and really cares about what he teaches. BUY THE WORK BOOK!! All of his lecture are word for word on the workbook he tells you to buy. I would just bring the book to class and follow along with him as he teaches. Also you need a Clicker, this is how he grades participation. each day you have Clicker questions on the board.

Fill in your loose leaf text book from day one. If you fill it in, you'll know what is happening in the class, and what to study for when the 2 exams come. Keep up on the home work. He's a caring professor. Easy to talk to. Would take again. He explains physics in a understandable way. I've never taken physics before, and found it to be a fun class

He is a very nice professor but his monotone voice made it hard to actually pay attention in class... He goes off the workbook for everything so make sure to purchase it.. There are clicker questions every lecture, thats how he keeps track of participation

Caring professor that truly wants his students to pass. I am a psych major but he made it easy to understand topics I had no prior knowledge about. Definitely recommend.

tbh I didnt really like this course, BUT he is a very nice and caring teacher there are i-clicker quizzes that you need to be there for a part of your grade I missed 7 class days & didnt do so well on one of the tests and managed to pass with an A ? the tests and final are literally questions copied and pasted from the book you work on in class!

Science never quite peaked my interest and the professor's monotone voice could not capture my attention too well. However, he is a great guy! He really cares about his students and there well-being. I have a ton of respect for this professor!

While his lectures can get long and boring, Professor Sebrechts does want you to do well in his class. As long as you show up to class, do the clicker quizzes, and study for the exams, you should do very well in the class. He also gives out extra credit opportunities which do help. There was very minimal homework for this class.

He lectured every class and gave an iClicker quiz at the beginning of every class, so kids left after the quiz. There was 2 tests and an opportunity for 100 point extra credit paper. Super easy class would definitely take again.

Easiest class I have ever taken. Would recommend taking if you are not a science major. You can earn almost half the total points in iclicker quiz extra credit. Test questions are very basic, he really wants you to pass. Probably one of the nicest teachers ever. Don't buy the expensive textbook, just borrow the library copy for the assigments.

all clicker quiz answers can be found online. doesn't care if the whole class misses a question - just moves on without much explanation. TONS of extra credit available though. super easy exams. all homework answers are in the book and you can just copy the answers. attendance only mandatory at beginning of class to take quizzes.

Really easy class. Curves the tests. Just do the Clicker quizzes, labs, and homeworks and you should get a decent grade. The tests are really hard because the stuff on the test is basically all from the textbook. But I didnt even get the textbook and still got a B in the class because I did all the other assignments

Such a boring class and professor. Literally reads from powerpoint that he didn't even make. Clicker quiz at the beginning of each class (which you can find the answers online). I just leave right after. Only 2 tests and 3 hw assignments (answers are in the back of the book)
