Comment:

For adLab he was never clear about what he wanted. E&M is manageable due to the mandatory tablets that I play games on during class. He's interesting cuz he looks like Skeletor, likes to talk about the big, big P, and makes funny sqealy noises while waving his hands in the air.

Comment:

The worst memory I have of Kowalski was when I stopped by his POSTED off-hours to ask him a question, and he was in his boxers and "wife beater". He was startled that I was there and told me to leave. It wasn't a good experience as a student to say the least. I left still confused since my physics question about circuits was never answered.

Comment:

the problem with this guy is, he is very shy and will not motivate the class. When no one will answer his questions or respond to him in a class he has no idea what to do. so work with him and he is a good teacher.

Very hard, you just have to get past his hard shell. Goes by the motto: Always keep 'em guessing. Use this to your advantage and turn it on him.
