Just attend all classes. Get atleast B's on each test, do all labs and lab reports. You will surely get an A! Do the study guides as well and use the flash cards he allows you to bring in class handily ;)

Comment:
Dr. Wimbush is one of the best professor when it come to physics but get ready to read a lot. I personal I don't understand the way he teach but I watch a lot of you-tube lecture that help me out. when it comes to grade he is reasonable and he understand even if you try you get some partial credit which is fare. also one of the lowest one he droop.

His lectures are very long but he makes sure everyone is understanding. He's very caring and will allow retakes if you did poorly. Overall very funny, and always tries to make jokes throughout lecture. You can tell he knows his stuff and lovesss teaching. He gives out study guide for each exam and he'll go over the questions with you if you ask

Comment:
Professor Wimbush's main concern is to show people how to do physics problems. He's almost always late and goes over time. His lectures are kind of boring because he spends majority of the time doing problems. DO NOT RELY COMPLETELY ON THE WORKSHEETS FOR TESTS, TESTS ARE MUCH HARDER. Labs and lab reports are easy, lowest you can get on it is a 80%.

He knows his stuff but he sucks at explaining. He's very rude when you ask him questions. He's always late and extends class over time. His tests were easy. Just do the worksheet. He is not clear with his expectations. Not -a good teacher at all. Skip class and study on your own because you won't learn anything in his class. no office hours.

Comment:
Spends the whole class writing equations and doing problems on the board. Assigns homework problems out of the textbook due every week. Lab is not too difficult as he will walk you through the process and theory beforehand. Tests are based on examples and homework problems. However, there is critical thinking required for many of the exam questions

He is a great professor. Physics is a hard subject in general, but he makes it seem easy. He works a lot of examples on the board during class, and the exams are similar. The labs are pretty easy as he explains the whole thing before hand. Homework is assigned from the textbook and is more of a completion grade. Will take him again for 232.

Not good. Writes lots of equations of the board. Doesn't use power point. Gives online homework and not helpful during office hours. Really hard tests that he doesn't teach towards during class. Don't take for Phy232

This is the worst teacher. comes to class late and takes extra time the end of class to finish the lecture. very rude and disrespectful. he gives attention and grades based on weather he like you as a person or not. very moody. very unorganized. you will not know how you are doing in class because he don't post anything on BlackBoard.

Don't take him. He's boring and not very clear during class. His lectures are almost completely useless. He's not helpful when you go to him for help. Just do yourself a favor and pick someone else to learn Phy 232 from.

He his a great teacher, and clearly knows his stuff. Classes are spent going over problems, which I found was the best way to learn. His exams mostly follow with what is taught in class, but not always. Only down side is that he is quite disorganized and often starts lectures late, going over time at the end of class.

He's a decent teacher, and I like how most of his lecture is just going over how to solve problems. However, exams would often have problems that he DIDN'T explain and were very difficult. Also he always starts late/leaves late. Frustrating.

He's a very fair grader, if you show your steps in the problems and even though you get it wrong he still gives you points .Be expected to leave class late, test are not hard must do textbook examples and be ready to self study. I Recommend you attend his morning sessions in the tutoring center . Best luck!

Do not take him. He just writes a bunch of stuff on the board and does not answer questions. I went to his office hours a couple times and all he did was tell me to read the text book. I did not learn anything in his class.

He is good with physics but does not teach it well. He rambles a lot and gets off topic. If he gets behind in lecture he will rush through and not answer questions. He is bad at getting back to your emails. Dont take him.

He is a great professor. Very clear and organized lectures. Labs were not hard. He expects you to study hard. Exams were not that hard, he goes over similar problems before the exam. Just don't miss his lectures and you will be fine.
