Comment:
How the hell is this a 100-level class?! He expects everyone who takes his class to have taken Physics, Trig, and Calc in high school. The supposedly "easy" PRS questions sometimes require 4 or 5 different steps of calculus, despite the fact that there is no pre-req for it! Could have been very interesting, but it just sucked. Don't take it!!

Comment:
His lectures are useless, and he often doesn't make sense. He is very approachable, that is before he make you feel stupid. Not the worst teach I've ever had, but he's up there.

Comment:
This is a toss up. He's pretty boring, he expects you to be a mathematician, and you're not going to learn a whole lot because astronomy is the most boring thing in the world but... he's a funny guy, he lets you use cheat sheets on tests, and if you even show up for PRS you get 100%. Not entertaining but not awful.

He's annoying, and he laughs at you if you ask him for help because he thinks you're an idiot. I'd recommend avoiding him at all costs.

This class shouldn't be this hard. The tests suck. The curves and prs help, but it still sucks. Lectures are boring at times, but his crazy antics will have you laughing time and time again.

He is old and boring and his test are hard, however the class is easy. If you show up to class and use PRS, you'll get 20% of your grade as 100%. His tests are hard but has a crazy curve (went from a 60% to a 85% on a test). Also lets you drop your lowest test score.

He's a super hard teacher!! His tests are very hard. I pretty much had to learn everything on my own. I don't recommend taking him as a teacher. He is a pretty funny man though- I'll give him credit for that.

Professor Sawiki cannot teach. He is not helpful to students who ask for help. He talks about things and does not explain them so you have no idea what he is talking about. Do not take any class from this professor.

Comment:
Sawicki is horrible at explaining the concepts of physics. He's never very prepared for his lectures, and he makes you go to take PRS quizzes, even though his lectures suck. The result? Two hundred pissed off and talkative people who don't want to be there. Good luck hearing him, he's not good with a mic. Doesn't go out of way to help you, either.

Prepare to learn by yourself with the aid of only a poorly written text book. I understood very little of what this guy was trying to teach me.

If the man use a microphone, have the correct answers for PRS questions, not use powerpoints with a dark blue print on a black backround, not give the answer before showing us a question I might believe he got he PhD from a University and not a Cracker Jacks Box.

wow, what can i say? worst experience ever in a class room? maybe that's a little harsh but thats how it is. The tests are easy, but be prepared to put the time in because you'll need to learn the material on your own from the book
