Comment:

If you want to learn about physics, this is not your guy. If you want an laid back recitation class and an easy A, take him (it won't help you for the main lecture though). Be prepared to learn about tornadoes, "grabbing McLeod by the nose and holding him out the window" the "University of Stone-Age Massachusetts Lowell".

He's absolutely awful; makes simple recitation problems completely incomprehensible. If you actually want to learn physics, take someone else.

Absolutely terrible. Gave stupid misinformation to the class (the lines between constellations are real) and added questions to the lab about that false information!

Comment:

McLeod is the WORST professor I've ever had. He really should not be teaching. He prided his class on not wasting time yet he spent the first 20 mins of class talking about bonus points. Normally I love classes that professors waste time in.. but this guy was unbearable. He didn't teach me anything. avoid taking a class with him at ALL COSTS!!!

Comment:

McCloud is a very nice guy, but his classes can be intolerable at times. He goes off on tangents about Kokopelli and other random things all the time. He's a very liberal grader so if you want a good grade you should take him. If you do your homework and answer his random questions you'll get an A even if your test scores aren't great.

After listening to his kooky ranting about the evils of wearing glasses and his supernatural encounters with mountain lions, i dropped the class. Definitely should not be teaching!

Comment:

He's a very nice guy, no doubt at all, and his grading is verrry liberal, he'll try and do anything to get you extra credit. HOWEVER, he doesn't teach the material well and he goes off on a quantum physics tangent every other class. It won't help you on tests.

Comment:

this man is certifiably insane. he talks more about religion philosophy and vision than anything else. if he didnt collect homework every single day i would never go because class is that useless. he will make you feel awkward in class and say embarrassing things. avoid at all costs

Lectures are completely incomprehensible, which makes the labs stressful, but he's ridiculously generous in his grading. (Once bumped me from an F to a B-.)

Nice and helpful guy. Lectures sometimes go nowhere and directions vague, but just go up and ask him how to do it when he's finished and he will help you with whatever you need. Easy grader. Highly recommend taking lab with him.
