The labs are very easy and he gives you the answers to the after lab questions at the beginning of the next lab. You will always get out early, so just show up and it's an easy A.

Comment:

His physics class is VERY easy. As long as you show up to the labs, you will be fine. The tests are take home as well. There are the pros. The cons are the fact that he makes a lot of s*xist jokes that make things awkward. As a self-respecting woman, I did not enjoy sitting through his class. The class was easy to pass, though.

Sweet guy! Very nice and very funny. Since you have to take a science take it with him! I hate science and he made me enjoy coming to class...I actually looked forward to going.

Comment:

extremely easy class. if you don't care about science, and you're only taking a science class because one's required, take this class. i took it over the summer, and we got out an hour early every day. no reports, no homework, all the tests are take home. he does waste ALOT of time. labs are very easy

Comment:

My 2nd semester with Ron on a Saturday: The doughtnut rumor is true if the class gives him a little cash each weak. Test are take home and open note. If you show up and take the notes, its easy as pie. The only reason I didn't get an A was that I was too lazy to take good notes so I didn't do great on the tests.

Comment:

Took him on a Sat and the doughnut rumors are true! That is where the good stuff stops though. The class is easy enough but you have to get a 95 to get an A. Test are take home but he always nailed me on short answer/essay questions. SO BOREING. Takes 3 hrs to say what could be said in 30 min. I became a clock watcher ...

Comment:

Labs were cake - he is a great guy but can make labs run over an extra half hour cuz he gets sidetracked telling irrelevent stories. He's cool though - and labs are usually an hour and a half max never three.

Ron is awesome! I managed 4's for my Science ADR and I HATE science. I took the Saturday lab/lecture combo which was a great way to get through it quickly. He brought in donuts every week, gave lots of breaks, and made what could have been very painful a fun class. I Highly recommend him!

Took as Sat class. Difficult for me b/c I have no background and no interest in subject, but still managed to pull out a 3 b/c Rentzel is a good guy and gives every oppty to do well (take home test, for example!)A good course for science requirement and I will be taking part II next semester.

Comment:

Great guy...very funny, lots of stories, but getting off-topic a lot means sometimes class takes longer than it needs to be. Still, definitely one of the easiest science courses you can take - basically no math and no equations. Labs are not very difficult. Highly recommended!

Comment:

Really easy, but is annoying and makes the labs last an hour longer than they should. Take the class with a friend so you can make fun of him with them, and make the lab go by a lot faster.
