Comment:

This guy is incoherently **** at the 1 o'clock lecture. I hear he is slightly more useful at the 10 o'clock, but at 1 he slurs and overall teaches nothing. One of my friends described his lecture as "better than a lullaby" Most of the people that go learn nothing, and the rest of us refuse to go because his lecture is a waste of time.

Comment:

Possibly the worst professor ive ever had. I have never seen so many people fall aspleep in one class. no one goes to his lectures. One kid fell asleep with his eyes open one time and was snoring! He is a nice guy, and tries hard, but he is simply a poor teacher.

Comment:

Awesome teacher!! He is very kind and caring, and he is willing to help students until they learn the material. His lectures may not be the most interesting, but if you pay attention, you'll learn the material. A very good conference teacher!!

Comment:

Although he did an all right job teaching, I found the way the hw's coincided with the lectures to be irritating. It's like you had taught yourself things you needed to know how to do the hw (which took forever) and then the next day in class he shows you how to do it, but by then it's already to late, which is aggravating.

Extremely good teacher -- one of the best I've come across @ wpi. Yea, his jokes can be lame but he really explains the material well and is always available for additional help

This guy's the man. His humor may be lame, but he's still a funny guy, and he's a good teacher. He can get the concepts across well, and his lectures aren't boring. I'd definitely take more classes with him.

most boring class I have ever taken at this school, and I've taken the intro chem series. if the pace was slower I'd have fallen asleep in every class, not just most of them.

Comment:

He's decent for a lecturer. He explains things decently and it's usually fairly easy to follow along. His tests aren't too bad. The homework can take a while, but you need to do it to learn the stuff.

Comment:

Physics would be more understandable if we went over how the problems were supposed to be done BEFORE the homework was do INSTEAD of after. His displays were interesting and he was a funny guy. All I got out of the lectures was formulas.

Comment:

He has the most boring, confusing lectures of any physics teacher. I never understood anything he said so I stopped going to lectures. Thank God I had Steve Pierson for my conference teacher, otherwise I would've probably failed.
