ANY CRAZY PERSON TO HAVE A WHOLE 81/2 BY 11 INCH PAPER FOR HW FORMAT IS ON CRACK. HE HAS SO MANY REASONS TO MARK YOU OFF HE GIVES A KEY ON THE BACK THAT GOES FROM A- T! YES A TO T. IF YOU WANT A WITHDRAW TAKE THIS DUDE. HE WILL MARK YOU OFF FOR NOT EXPLAINING CLEARLY (EVEN THOUGH YOU MARKED THAT EACH SIDE WAS IDENTICAL) THE ISOCELES RIGHT TRIANGLE!

Comment:

Oh boy was I wrong for taking this class as my "Easy A" class. I pushed this class to the side and wish I didn't because I ended with a C but it's an awesome class. His lectures are great and makes learning physics fun. Just study (which I didn't) and you should do well! He's a harsh grader on the written parts so ask him for help!

Comment:

He is really strict on format, but he explains things really well. He even comes on Sundays for anyone who needs some extra help, and he is willing to stay late after class to explain something you don't understand. He is really sweet and you can tell he wants people to do well, but he is a very harsh grader. Stick to his format!

Tests aren't hard. Grading is harsh tho. Learn format early on and practice it. He is a legend. Best professor makes physics exciting and really fun.

Comment:

great guy outside the classroom and a good teacher but way too obsessed with format. You can pretty much get all the right answers on an exam but still get an F because of formating. I enjoyed physics before this class, but now im scarred for life.

Comment:

I took his last Physics 1C. From now on, he'll only teach physics 11. He's fun and helpful. Please do homework. And if you do not get anythings, ask him. Practice showing your work in his style if you do not want your points to be taken off. You should show your work clear, consistent, and thorough.

Comment:

I have taken Kadomoto for 1A and 1C. I'm a huge fan of his because of his teaching style. He's a great teacher, but yes, his format is insanely hard. I know why he does it and if you take him it makes sense too.Do the homework and concentrate there because though the labs are important the homework costs you more, if you neglect.Tests are homework.

Comment:

Best professor I've ever had in my life. Your homework grade basically determines how you will do on the test. You must do the homework, and tests, exactly as he demands. Do all the homework accurately, neatly, and precisely and you will excel in his class. More teachers need to be like Dr. Kadomoto.

Comment:

His class is quite difficult, not because the material is hard to grasp but because he is a tough grader. Take his format serious and start the homework when assigned, stay on top of it. If you understand the homework you will be fine, but take the format and work very seriously!

Comment:

I took Mr. K for both 1A and 1C. He's a great professor, but make sure to follow his format because that's what hurt me in 1A, but in 1C, I got an A on my first hw assignment. As long as you can follow his examples and do the hw, you should do fine in his class. FORMAT is key in his class because you could do everything correctly, but lose points.

Comment:

He's a really hard teacher. Many ppl got 0 on the first hw even though we followed the sheet that he gave us. When he corrects he doesn't clarify what is wrong instead likes writing No!!!! without explaining it. Has bad way of writing units really small making it hard to see. Hw does not prepare you for tests. Labs are hard.

Comment:

He is a good teacher. I understood his concepts very clearly. You have to know his format for homework and test very clearly or else u lose marks. His exams are easier than homework and he is willing to answer your questions.

Comment:

His class isn't easy, but if you want a professor who actually teaches you stuff, I'd say take him. After taking his class, I had a clearer understanding of physics. He is very helpful and asks at the beginning of class if there are any questions. He is definitely one of the best physics teachers out there!

Comment:

Horrible. so monotone and he starts the semester assuming that you know a lot of things. He is using Physics 1b stuff to justify his 1c lectures. No introduction whatsoever. To this day, i have no clue what Current, resistors, and voltage are in real life. Kind of sad.

First,i dont know where the good ratings are from.The guy is the worst teacher in El camino.Tests are not too bad!His grading is beyond logic,he takes points off for things he didn't ask for or specify in any of his crappy rule lists.He clearly has issues, you cant reason or win with him.I went in the final with 92%,did well in the final and got B.

One of the best teachers el camino could possibly have. Makes physics seem soooo easy...however is very nitpicky about the hw and test format, but if you follow it, and understand, your all set for this class.
