After taking this instructor, I'm bummed to have to learn Physics from anyone else. Bruce made things clear and simple, even on a complicated subject like this.

Bruce is an outstanding teacher, his grading policy is simple, as long as you go to class and you touch the work it does not matter if you got the answer right or wrong as long as you try your hardest you will pass with an A. Math in his class is hard but he takes you step by step and like i said as long as you touch his work you get and A.

Comment:

One of the best professors I have had in my ten years of college; absolutely brilliant, charismatic, very dedicated and extremely kind. The lecture classes were pretty easy, his labs were pretty rough! I got a lot out of the labs however, and I never missed one. I would recommend Bruce to any type of student!

Comment:

Bruce is great. He earnestly cares about his students. He takes a terribly difficult topic and puts it into terms that (most of the time) I can comprehend. I agree that the fact that he forgoes a textbook and posts his materials on the class web site is a major plus!

Comment:

Bruce took an otherwise painful topic and made it fun and relative to real life...ok MOSTLY real. His energy is contagious and wit makes coming to class worth it. Best of all, he cares about his students. He will help a student in a subject matter he doesn't even teach. He is an inspiration to students and a model for teachers.

I had Bruce for physic 201,202,204 and Engineering 201 and his is the best teacher I?ve ever had. He post all needed reading material online so you don?t have to buy textbooks. He is more than willing to help with homework after class. Extremely flexible grading policy make it hard to not get an A. Bruce is a great counselor, teacher and friend.

Bruce is the kind of instructor you will never forget. I learned to appreciate physics far more than I thought possible. Plus he taught me how to let go and give myself a break when I’d done my best. He truly is a once in a lifetime teacher!
