If you want to learn big boy physics, then Nash is your man.He is wonderfully mathematical and pedantic in his teaching style - he takes nothing for granted. You will learn hard stuff but he still makes it easy to get a good grade.

Dr. Nash is great. He will challenge you with difficult problems, but he is extremely helpful and clearly rewards hard work. He is very approachable and helpful during his office hours. It's not very hard to make a good grade in this class.

Comment:

I loved physics going into this class, but not so much when I left. I was very disappointed to be taught an entry level course at the pace and by the standards that would accomodate a higher level. I give him credit, he was available for help, but he flew through his lessons, barely pausing for a breath. The class was much more diff than need be.

Very demanding professor but if you do your work you should be able to follow him. He isn't very helpful in class but if you see him during his office hours he will go out of his way to help you.

Comment:

One of the toughest profs ever, both in his grading and personal style. Intimidating in a southern way. Lectures were hard to follow since he did not try to simplify the (tough) material at all. Minimal explanations. I was one of the few ppl who got an A (worked my butt off) in his 97 class. AVOID!!

Good Instructor, if you are not mathematically mature then don't take his class. His class is easy to follow. If you study a little, then you will do well in his class. It's like taking a class at MIT, goes wild on the chalkboard, I love it!!!!

Comment:

Often would totally lose class while mathematically proving physical laws on the board. Incredibly hard tests with ridiculously complex questions and odd/strange ways to mark answers on scantron - much confusion in simply trying to mark your answer.
