Comment:
I enjoyed professor Otto's class. He conceptually explains things and sometimes performed demonstrations in class. He allows a full double sided cheat sheet for the exams and outlines what will be on the exams on his website. He is very quiet so I'd suggest sitting near the front.

Comment:
Otto is a nice guy but not the best teacher. His lectures are usually not helpful. Most labs are very confusing; he doesn't explain how to do them. WebAssign for hw sucks, its hard and doesn't correspond at all w/ his exam questions. Exams are hard and too long for 50 minutes. Everyone failed the first exam, but he did a retake. He curves.

He is such a great professor. He deserves a raise and be acknowledged for all his hard work he does. You better pay attention in his class otherwise you wont do to good.

Comment:
Best College Professor I've ever had. I wish all professors knew their material so well that they can answer any question instantly without "looking it up" like all the WSU Engineering professors have to. His class is hard, but he is such a good teacher that you really shouldn't have too much trouble leaning.

GREAT professor. If he's teaching ANY physics class that is required for you, take him. He doesn't have much for notes in class but he's very helpful outside of class and the online homework corresponds directly to the test (not to mention he goes over a lot of it in class). I'd definately take him for a class again. :)

Very helpful and easy. His exams are not that hard either. I got an easy A and he is always willing to help. Even replies emails on weekends. Little slow on grading but you will learn a lot in his class.

If your feeling like learning very little and wasting your time, here's the professor for you! Not only is he not very helpful (and he thinks that he is), he can put anyone to sleep by opening his mouth. You may have to wait a few months before you get your grades (and your assignments)

DORK!!! Awesome teacher though... Do all of the assignments and TRY and you'll do well. Funny to laugh at because he says that he'll do something that night and won't get done for days
