Comment:
The TA for this lab is very inconsistent, even when doing the exact same required work with detailed discussions on conclusions, some grades with be 95's and others are 80's. No clear indication of how grading is being done. Will find random points taken off for no apparent reason other than "Well you should have done it this way". All around bad.

This is a difficult class but as long as you understand ALL homework, you will get an A. If you dont like to work hard, dont take this class or you will fail. He likes when people go to his office and ask questions. He may not seem like it but thats just Hewett. My best advice for this class is do every homework possible, and try to do them right.

Comment:
Lionel Hewett is by far the worst professor/teacher I've ever had. The homework is absolutely atrocious. I had no spare time to study for his class or for any of my other classes because of his assigned homework. For MWF classes, Hewett requires 10 pages of hw due at the end of every lecture class, this results in 30 pages a week. Do not take him.

Worst professor. You go to his office to ask questions and he makes you feel like an idiot. Too much homework and tests are difficult... be prepared for long nights of studying. Always make sure to go to each class session cause attendance is part of your grade.

He gives a lot of homework. The reviews given for the test are mostly nothing like the test. If you don't get at least two B's on his tests be prepared to get a C on the course.

Be prepared for a lot of homework but it does help you quite a bit. The tests are very hard but he does allow a note card for the tests though and he curves fairly. The book you buy for the class is written by him so it's cheap.

Comment:
Physics is a tough subject as it is, but Hewitt is probably the best teacher to take both courses in. The homework is a lot but if you actually do your 10/15 pages of what is expected of you, the tests should be fairly easy. He does give big curves on the exams. Just show up, listen and take notes, and do all your homework and you will pass.

He gives a lot of homework, and sometimes he allows notecards on tests. Overall, you will learn from him, but don't expect an A unless you really really work for it. Otherwise expect a B if you do the homework, and a C if you don't. If you miss class, it will be difficult to pass. He's funny, and has his quirks but he's the best Physics professor.

The homework load is a lot, but essential to pass the class. Taking this class via TTVN kinda sucked though.

He really is the best physics professor at Tamuk. He still let's you use as many notecards as you want during tests and his 10 pages of he is really just 10 pages of whatever you want. The homework can be examples, made up problems, and even examples from his book. You can put anything physics related. You learn a lot from his classes and they are a lot of fun!

10 pages of problems due for every class period (including exam days) is a lot; however, I don't think I would have done well on my tests if it weren't for the homework. He makes the class fun and is very enjoyable to have as a professor. He let's you use a notecard on tests. He gives points based on how much physics you know, not on your math. For example, if you write down every equation that you will need for that problem, you will get majority of the points regardless of correct answer.

Difficult class no matter who you take it with, but you will enjoy and learn it the most with Dr.Hewitt. Dr.Hewitt goes over everything in Physics I from Equilibrium to Thermodynamics so be prepared to study totally different concepts every couple of weeks or so. His tests can be difficult but gives a very fair curve.

Though the material was at times tough, I enjoyed studying Physics with Dr. Hewitt (a helluva lot better than Cambell).

He is a good teacher but he likes to fly through new material, this makes it hard because you have learn it by doing his endless demand of 10 page plus of homework.

easy tests, great curve; however he is not going to let future physics I. students use notecards on tests. Without notecard tests would be tough. Remember to write all equations for every problem on test sheet and you will get at least a C on every test gaurenteed.
