Comment:

Pretty good prof interesting lectures. Closely followed the textbook. Exam was kind've unforgiving if you weren't 100% on the material because you had to do the multiplication and division by hand. But I think that was the point.

Comment:

Hanna is a brilliant prof who studies gamma radiation (he coincidentally looks like an older Edward Norton from The Incredible Hulk). He appears to teach this class as a sort of hobby due to his interest in music and drumming, and teaches some really valuable and interesting information.

He's judgmental. Other than that useful material, he can be hard to keep your attention at times.

Hanna is okay. The class material is really dry, and I think he's doing the best he can with it. Nonetheless, his assignments are not clear, and the work load is unreasonable.

Really cool and funny prof. He talks really fast sometimes and rushes through the material a lot but the class isn't that hard so it's ok. Assignments are sometimes hard but the midterm and final were a joke. Take his class!

Very good lecturer who gives real examples of what he teaches. Really a fair marker. Only criticism is that he rushes through derivations, and does not always emphasize understandig them.

I've only had Hanna for a few weeks now, but I HAD to mention that he looks like Steve Carell... eh? Eh? You know he does. Yep, good sense of humour, but is a little messy on the blackboard. Meh, big deal.

Phys 230 was my favorite class at McGill; I truly enjoyed it! He makes the material interesting. The assignments are tough, but he's helpful in office hours and the exams are completely based on the assignments.

Comment:

Hanna is the fairest prof at McGill. The material might be boring but he tries hard (and most of the time sucessfully) to motivate students. Really cool guy, drummer for The Red Shift Blues Band - all physics prof band.
