Comment:

One of the best professors at Plattsburgh. Lectures are well organized and easy to understand. He does tend to go off on tangents about ancient Egypt, but he gets back on topic quickly. Take good notes and you'll have no problem with the quizzes and tests. He is easily accessible outside of class, very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Comment:

He's a really smart guy. The only complaint people seem to have is about the tangents he goes on during lectures. These really aren't a problem, if you pay attention, he only does this to give you a break from all of the information and to help you apply what you're learning and go further than equations and balls rolling down the hill.

Comment:

Smartest person I've ever met. I've had him for a few other classes as well, but this was by far the hardest of them all. If you go to his lectures and do the homework you will do well in his classes. Be sure to ask questions if you are lost or confused. I strongly recommend communicating with him out of class as well. He is my idol.

Comment:

Weekly pop quizzes that make up a huge percentage of your grade. Do not miss class or else the quizzes will be difficult. 2 tests plus a final. Allowed to bring a cheat sheet to all 3 tests. He goes off on tangents while teaching. Just copy down all examples that he puts on the board and keep all the quizzes for test study guides.

Comment:

He is a decent teacher in the sense that he knows his stuff, but he goes on these rediculous tangents that make him hard to follow. Earlier in the week we were talking about frequencies of objects, and he talked about clocks for 20 minutes.

Comment:

A great professor but while he is doing math it is very easy to get lost, as he skips steps assuming we know it, which is fine. Not an easy class, but you learn much more than the scope of the class. Amazing educator

Comment:

Myer is a Jack of all trades, master of all. His classes can sometimes be a bit slow, but he always covers the material clearly and still has time to tell interesting stories. If you have a chance, I'd recommend talking to him after class and listening so some of them.

Comment:

Dr.Meyers is very enthusiastic about his topics and it shows in his good teaching. He can get off topic but if you are interested in science at all it is very interesting to listen to.

Comment:

Great professor, very passionate about the subject; in fact too passionate, tends to go off topics too often and go on and on. Even go off topic in office hour, would recommend just find a tutor or a physics major student. (i had better luck finding help in physics common than in the learning center)

He's an extremely smart man. I think this gets in the way of his teaching though. He goes off topic about interesting facts, etc. This class was a struggle.

Comment:

People that find this guy boring must be air heads and amused by their simple life full of brainless activities. When i am in the presence of this man i fell like I am in the presence of a god. He is very informed on everything. The guy reads hieroglyphics in his spare time. You can learn alot from him if you like to learn.

Worst professor I've ever had. The majority of the class is failing. He doesn't explain anything and the bulk of our grade is based on pop quizzes.

He is nice but the material is so hard to grasp. In the lecture he goes off and talkes about topics totally unrealated to astronomy. I found it hard but passed. I recommend taking the lab with the class it might bring ur grade up. The lab is what saved me.

Comment:

He is the worst professor ever. I just got done taking (failing!!) the final exam after I spent the entire weekend studying my notes, the book, our midterm and a previous final exam. It didn't help at all!!! He spent the entire semester going off on various tangents. He told us that he gave third graders our midterm and they did better than us.
