Comment:
Boring, useless lectures, don't bother going. I learned everything in recitation and on my own. He lets you bring "cheat sheets" to the test with all your equations on them, and all questions are straight plug ins.

Easiest class!! I love physics but he makes it so boring! Tests consist of purely plugin problems. Lectures are pointless and he just reads off of his notes. No point in going to his class... just show up for the test with the two pages of cheat sheets that he lets you bring and you will do fine. Slightly disappointing that this class is easier and does not go nearly into depth as either of my physics classes that i took in highschool. Oh well, at least I have a guaranteed A.

Comment:
Lectures pretty boring and not that interesting, but not altogether terrible.. uses same slides every year, and has pretty scripted lectures. If you're good at physics, don't bother going to class

i did fine without going to a lot of lectures, why bother waking up to go if you are just going to fall back asleep anyway?

Comment:
Frustrating! Lectures are impossible to understand and he writes out the equations beforehand so you can never see the steps taken. Uses Dual Projectors w/ too much info on them. Just go to a good recitation prof and pray to god!

decent guy with a funny accent. he cared, but at times seemed oblivious to the fact that much of what he said didnt make any sense.

A nice guy, though somewhat anal about attendance. His tests were completely fair, though, and he was very concerned with student progress.
