Comment:

I was so worried about taking this course because my friends said it was hard, but they didn't have Wayne teaching it!...lucky for me, I did, and now I understand the fuzzy nature of electrons and photons & how the electric and magnetic fields are tied together and so much more. I absolutely loved all of Wayne's demos in class; thanks Wayne!

Stayne Wayne helped me pass my medical licensing level III board exam which I failed two previous times, however with Stayne Waynes private tutoring I was able to obtain my highest grade... even if he made me swallow after every lesson. I miss our special time

this class was taught very well by prof. wayne dodakian, who went out of his way to make the material understandable; unlike others, who easily confuse students, and seem to pride themself on it. the in-class demos were motivating and fun.

Comment:

I was very fortunate to have selected this teacher. He was very good at dispelling my fears of learning this subject and taught me how to think critically, so I could solve problems that I have never seen before. Thank you Wayne, and thanks to CCSU for hiring such a good instructor.

I was initially affraid of this subject, but Wayne showed me there was nothing to fear. He helped me after class several times, and always answered my questions clearly. His demonstrations in class were extreemly helpful and a joy to watch. His course prepared me well for physics 126. Thanks Wayne

Comment:

very motivating. uses many classroom demos to SHOW what he is talking about. this way his lectures are not abstract, and there is no confusion. he makes learning physics painless. goes over every exam in class, answers questions clearly. He was one of my best teachers, and I highly recommend him. CCSU is lucky to have him!

Comment:

This was the BEST teacher I ever had. He not only taught me physics, but also encouraged me to go on in this field.I am very greatful to this guy.As far as his master's thesis goes, a good thesis is SUPPOSED to kick up some controversy,otherwise its status-quo.His thesis ended up getting published in a refereed physics journal.That says it all!

Comment:

Quite honestly, I am shocked that he is a paid teacher. As a matter of fact, I would not hire him for a volunteer position. YOU WILL NOT LEARN PHYSICS!!!! However, if you want an easy A, and you have ****, take his class.

Comment:

Bottom line, he just does not seem to have an working understanding of physics to teach it effectively. The controversy over his master's thesis also shows that his understanding of physics is severely lacking. Good thing, his class is an easy A.
