As long as you get the gist of how to do it, you can pass. Physics is complicated, but he's not too nit picky about intensive details like if you forget a formula.

Overall decent class with not too much work. Make sure you go to the reviews since the problems are similar to the ones on the tests. He scales a lot so if you can do above the class average on tests, you should get a decent grade.

Comment:
Difficult teacher, and doesn't explain very well in class. He thinks putting problems on a overhead projector to let students copy material makes us learn it. Definitley picks favorites. Failed every test and final and got a C-. Just do well on the homework and lab reports and you should do fine. He scales a lot...but his grading makes no sense.

kind of an ****, thinks he is God, picks favorites, will make fun and embarrass you in class. Test at 5 questions but hard. The tutors explain it better than him, get the old tests, hes been using the same ones for the last 30 years

Easy class.. his test are exactly like the homework problems. Go to the tutor review and your all set for the test. I dont' know why people complain. Go to class do you homework and you're fine.

It is hard to give a rating for him. I failed every exam and missed more than the maximum number of allowed absences, and still got a C- The tests were moderately difficult if I put a minimum effort in to learning the material, but it apparently wasn't necessary

Comment:
Three exams and final. His grading is weird but he is fair. scales alot, final is impossible. all that said, GO TO REVIEW SESSION, write the worked out problems down. the key is to find every pracitce exam in existance, do all problems, use tutors, and struggle, show work on exam, those review sheets are key, only if you do and understand them

worship this man. he is all that is right with the physical world. he knows whats up, and may be too smart to get thoughts out clearly, but he will tell a sick story about how he almost made a rocket ship out of an old tractor or something and make the class worthwhile

Kind of a boring class. Very nice man and great sense of humor. Would highly recommend for anyone interested in Physics. He makes his tests fairly easy as well! Go to the study sessions!!!

I took his classes 8 years ago, and can't say enough good things about this guy. I'm one of those people who just doesn't get calculus. He took the time to teach me the normal-math way around everything. Way above and beyond the call. I owe him big.

You'll never be as smart as him, so dont try. Infact he's not smart just doesn't want you to do well in his classes. The final! HAHAHA the sheet of paper will do nothing!

heavers is the coolest teacher ever, but his teaching style that and lack of book-usage make his class more difficult than it could be.

If you don't mind having a prof that thinks that girls aren't smart enough to take physics, then he's a pretty good professor. However, if that sort of thing pisses you off then stay away!

As long as he knows that you're trying, you will get a good grade in his class. His classes may be tough, but he is fair and organized. He will help you in any way that he can. Also, his stories crack me up :)
