Comment:

Teacher was terrible! Unclear on what to study. A brick wall has more personality then him. If you want to be disinterested in Astronomy forever then take this class. Is a smart man, but working with people is not his forte.

Tear your ears off before subjecting yourself to this guy. Boring in every sense of the word. Tests seem like they are filled with trick questions.

Comment:

Very boring teacher. Class is very tedious to sit through. Teaches off of black and white powerpoint. If you want to pass, you'll have to really read the chapters and understand the Q's at the end of them. His test are rather hard, but he drops your lowest one. He is confusing most of the time.

Comment:

If you are expecting an easy "A" don't take this course. If you have an interest in astronomy and want a knowledgable teacher this is your guy. If you READ THE CHAPTER and DO THE ASSIGNED QUESTIONS you will have no problems.

Comment:

Not sure why everyone is upset at this guy. Most of the students came into this class expecting to skate by with an easy A and were quickly disappointed. The class was quite interesting but no doubt difficult. If you like the subject then take him.

Comment:

I dropped his class after a couple months. He was pretty damn boring and would re-explain things 100x, poorly, even though we understood it. Plus, since he's an adjunct teacher, he has no office hours, so getting in touch with him is near impossible.

BORING! What is this guy smoking. If u are expecting to study a lot of crap then take this class. otherwise get out quickly. only good thing going for that class is he puts tests on a curve. Dont expect to get higher than a C in this piece of crap class.

Comment:

Worst teacher in the history of teaching!!! DO NOT TAKE HIM!!! I am surprised he is not fired. Our class has an average 90% fail rate and he doesn't care. We went to the dean with complaints of his awful teaching. Want to fail?!?! Take this class.

If you want to teach yourself about Physics, take this class, otherwise, go somewhere else. I had to teach myself before all the tests, his notes are NOT helpful, especially since he makes them up the day of class. AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS!
