Comment:

He knows what he's talking about but if you ask him a question he takes a long time to explain it. Lectures are short before lab but the labs are long. Lab reports are very specific and requires a very detailed information. Criteria isnt specific enough but does give great feedback. Must be present for class.

Had him for physics 2 lab, grades extremely harsh and is very old fashioned about how things are done. Talks very slow and spends about an hour to explain each lab. Don't take Genberg

Comment:

Very boring man, homework due frequently. However, there is no attendance policy, tests are fair and his grading isn't too harsh. Definitely curves. Not all bad of a teacher and atleast when i was taking it, he is the only option for physics

Take it easy on the old man. He is a nice and helpful teacher. His class is so boring that is was funny. His voice is a mix between Ben Stein and Dr. Evil.

very boring, talks really slow, but gives the same tests every semester, so if you find someone who took the class before, you can get an easy A

Comment:

Teaches in a very different style, helps a lot outside of class but does not teach the material very well in class. Does not show good examples and doesnt show how to use the equations outside of the book examples.

Comment:

This professor is quite possibly the worst professor I have ever had. DO ALL YOU CAN TO STAY OUT OF ANY CLASS HE TEACHES! Definately the most unclear professor I have ever had. I would rather take a bullet to the face than be in another of his classes.

Comment:

Like others said, very boring lecture. He doesn't actually complete examples. Tests aren't horribly bad. His voice is about as interesting as Ben Stein's. Avoid like the plague.

Comment:

he's terrible at covering any kind of examples. his lectures are a bore and you have to teach yourself everything. his tests aren't too bad though if you do the homework and teach yourself from the book.

Easy tests, all conceptual. If you read and do homework it is easy.
