Terrible teacher, but the tests are put on a mad-crazy curve. Have a grasp of high-school level Physics and you'll pass.

Comment:

Terrible teacher, there is no other way to put it. His tests are completely irrevelent to the material covered in class and extremely hard and he is impossible to understand. Overall the class is a total joke because you are on your own to learn EVERYTHING.

Comment:

Rally hard to understand, speaks very little english, I got a 30% in the class, AND I still got a C! grading is the most forgiving that ive ever had, (his grades basically go by 70% of the class gets C's and 20% gets B's and 10% gets A's)75kids 0 F's 0 Ds

Comment:

He is hard to understand and expects you to understand and almost makes fun of students with questions. The problems he does on the board differ from the hmwk and the test.

Comment:

you can't understand a word the man says. i sat in the front row the entire class and still couldn't hear him. his english is very sketchy at times and he writes his tests like he speaks, in broken english with lots of errors. he retires after fall 04!

Comment:

What the others have said are true. Once 50 the class of 70 stopped coming to class, understanding what he tried to teach us was 10 times easier. If you have a talent for physics, you might be able to teach yourself. If not, find another teacher.

Very smart, but cannot teach the class. Could not understand anything he said. Could not read anything he wrote. Tests were very hard. Very big curve though.

Comment:

Always did the HW in class, if you asked him, the tests were crazy-hard, but he weighted them, so something like 11pts out of 30 was an A, etc. Although a lot of what he taught was over my head, he wasn't too bad overall
