Comment:

381-382 is a yearlong sequence. Clear, friendly, funny guy with crystal clear lecture skills. Problems are tough but doable, material is very manageable with dedicated effort. Word of advice: don't panic, and don't despair...keep up steadily and an A is certainly within reach.

Comment:

Kiryukhin is the man. I never thought it was possible to get so much out of a lecture till I had him last semester. I was filled with joy to learn I had him again this semester for 124. He's partially insane and does awesome in class experiment demonstrations.

Comment:

Well Profssor Kiryukin is a hard lecturer to keep up with because he goes through material like we know it already. The exams are really hard, but the curves are so good, you can have no idea what you're doing and get a B. That is...just as long as you cheat on the homework haha. I have to bare with him another semester so yay!

Comment:

This professor may know his stuff, but he tends to blow through topics of physics, skipping over imperative details in his lectures. I go to the homework, and Im like...."uhh ohh". The exams, in my opinion, were pretty brutal. If you have to take this course for engineering, go to Extended (115 - 115) instead. You get more credit anyways.

I enjoyed this professor, he kept some humour in the lecture.... and had a funny accent to boot. Never needed or used the textbook in his class, got an A both semesters.

AMAZING teacher! Keeps interest, wild demonstrations, very funny! HIGHLY recommend!!!!Uses own explanations and own examples nto illustrate points which in most cases are better than the book! His accent takes a couple lectures to get over, but is totally worth it! A++

Comment:

The best class I have ever taken, even thorugh I don’t like physics. It is not the typical tedious class; this guy really knows how to teach. He looks like the typical crazy nerdy professor that makes class fun. Take you should definitely take this class.

Had a good time in lectures...this guy has a quirky sense of humor. The exams, as others have said, are tough, but he lets you make a cheat sheet for them. MAKE SURE YOU WRITE DOWN ALL THE FORMULAS YOU COULD POSSIBLY NEED!
