Comment:

the multiple choice on the exam were TOUGH, but the problems were very fair...if you know how to do the homework. still, i enjoyed his class enough to take him for 2 semesters. it's a lot of work, but his curve is very fair. i definitely recommend his class.

Comment:

"Trible is trouble". It does roll out easy on the tongue and sounds quite poetic,right?In fact nothing could be farther from truth! Incredibly student oriented, gives ALL the tuff you need to NOT ONLY ace his class but MCAT as well!Uses 7 colors of chalk to avoid confusions! I invite you to find someone to beat his system of teaching

There is only one law of physics you need to know: Tribble's Law of Physics--Four equations, four unknowns, Gingo, Physics is done! Thats being said yeah I agreed his class is challenging but I will never regret taking it even if i got an B. I choose his class puposedfully for two semester cause of MCAT. And to be honest he is a good profesor

Comment:

Dr. Tribble is a difficult teacher. That being said, I have a better grasp of physics than I ever believed I could. Furthermore, the no calculator rule forces you to come to terms with an important fact: NO CALCULATOR ON THE MCAT! Dr. Tribble prepares you for reality, no easy A, no easy questions, but a solid foundation in Newtonian physics

He is one of the coolest and nicest teacher in LU. He can give you an F in test and you can never get mad at him; he isthat nice. He is the type that will stay till midnight to help u out with the materials. His HW are super easy and test are a breeze. Easy A easy A. If you want an easy A take him by all means. I am starting tribble fanclub.

Comment:

rule of thumb if your the sucker who get stuck with tribs take his afternoon section, curves ussually work out alot better when he curves the grades at the end because all those loser postback take his night class and screw up the curve for the night section.

Comment:

by no way is tribble good , if you don't believe go by his office and look at the class grades he posts the highest grades were low A's and the rest are 65% and down.tribble class will ruin your GPA gaurantee. If you do get stuck with taking trible take the afternoon sect because curves are way better due to all the postback being in his night sect

Comment:

Tribble does + trouble, or so I thought at first...He is really a good teacher and passionate about what he teaches. He is more than willing ot help out in office hours. Just do not be intimdated by him and ask him for help. After all, he really makes u understand the material well. I would suggest to defenately take him if you want to learn phy

Make sure to have his mid-level HW problems down cold and you will do well on tests. Tribble is a great prof and does an excellent job preparing you for the MCAT. People who complain apparently don't care to do well on the MCAT. Lecture pace is very fast. You can do eet.

Comment:

Dr Tribble is the most difficult teacher i've ever had. He's a great lecturer- just impossible hmwk & tests. He's definitely intimidating, so asking questions is awkward, but if you want to do well, just suck it up & ask. no calculators allowed on tests and no formulas given on tests.

Comment:

he's hard! and i don't understand his arrogance...in class he goes *really* fast; after class, if you have any questions, he'll answer them even faster(wtf?!) If he'd just slow down a bit I'd do a hell lot better. Avoid him unless ur *freaking* smart. Patience doesn't work w/ him. Tests=AHHHHHH!!!

Comment:

I had to drop the class and I really needed it for my major. His lectures are REALLY fast, homework is hard and takes about 3-4 hours, and his tests are suicide. AVOID TRIBBLE, EVEN IF YOU NEED THIS CLASS, WAIT UNTIL NEXT SEMESTER. I AM SERIOUS PEOPLE!!! TAKE MY ADVICE. TRIBBLE = TROUBLE!

He's nice (i guess) but You cannot use calculators on his tests, he doesn't give you formulas on tests, you can't use cheat sheets on his tests, his lectures are fast; unless you're a physics major (or *smart*) don't take this guy. His homework (which is damn hard) is extra credit (1-4 pts max)

He draws 5,000 figures and lines in one drawing..he's really unorganized and confusing. Unhelpful, unmotivated and does not follow the book at all. Waste of money and time. Burned out teacher
