Comment:

Krasicky's an amazing lecturer. His demonstrations help with understanding the material a lot, and he's just generally good at explaining things. Logistically the course was also run very smoothly, and grading is very fair. If you put in the work, you should end up with a decent grade since the course is curved pretty highly at the end as well.

Dr. Krasicky is amazing! I was fortunate enough to have him as my TA for 1112. He is passionate and energetic about physics and he's always good for a laugh, which made discussion sections with him enjoyable. I learned so much from him this semester. His office hours are incredibly valuable. He will challenge you but he will inspire you to succeed!

Best professor I've had so far! Lectures are super helpful, TAs were great, workload wasn't too much. Show up to lecture for iClicker questions and for fun and entertaining demos.

Lectures were amazing. The content is pretty easy, but the class does take up quite a bit of time.

His lecture demonstrations are awesome and provide insight into the content he's teaching. Would definitely recommend taking 1112 with Prof. Krasicky. He's always happy to help, as long as you put in the time and work into his class. He's not willing to help slackers one bit.

Comment:

1112 demonstrations were amazing. The class was incredibly well organized and thought out. If you put in effort, you are guaranteed to pass and will likely do better than that if you understand the material. Krasicky will help you if you ask politely and show an effort to understand the material, but he does not tolerate slackers whatsoever.

Krasicky was awesome: he really wants you to understand what's happening in the course. He appreciates when people pay attention to the lecture and does a great job of keeping it interesting. I had a really rough second prelim and he immediately made time to see me and go through the test with me. I would take the class again.

Comment:

Krasicky is the man! He's super enthusiastic and really tries to get the students to think critically about physics. The prelims and final were absolutely fair if you were diligent about going to lecture (which is required). I feel like he's a little less approachable in person, so make sure if you need to ask him something that it's important.

Krasicky is the best. I never thought I would be able to enjoy and understand physics as much as I did with him as my prof. Definitely seek him out during office hours. He's very helpful one on one. But only bother him with real questions.

Comment:

Krasicky is awesome, he makes lectures so entertaining. And this is coming from someone who hates physics. I avoided taking this class for a few semesters, and was pleasantly surprised by how interesting he made the material. Tests weren't too bad if you knew the homework and lecture notes well.

Comment:

Dr. Krasicky is great at demos. He has very deep understanding of physics and does a great job relating his understandings to the students using his planned demonstrations. Read ahead of class though as it ended up helping me close to the last few weeks of the semesters. Be prepared for Curious Cat and his ridiculous acts.

Comment:

Krasicky really has a good grasp on the subject that he teaches, but he can't seem to simplify it for his students. With pages on pages of derivations for simple equations I tend to get confused about basic concepts. His tests seem unreasonable because of their misleading wording and his ridiculous use of Curious Cat.

I've absolutely hated physics since high school and it's always been my least favorite subject. Professor Krasicky was very lucid and made the topics extremely easy to grasp. He made me genuinely appreciate physics more.

He is AWESOME! His demos make the lectures really fun and interesting. He is very helpful if you have a problem. I went every week to his office hours, during which he explains the homework. He made me love this area of physics (i used to find it a little boring, but not with him!)

Awesome demonstrations, interesting applications and great sense of humor. He is a little quirky, awkward, and obsessed with cats, but overall and amazing professor. I highly recommend taking his class- make sure you go to lecture!

Comment:

He knows his material and his demos are good. Lectures you should go to. However, as a professor, when I asked him for help he isn't the nicest guy on the block. Kind of heartless but I guess that's what happens when it's such a huge class. Wasn't particularly helpful in my opinion and taking his class made me dislike physics even more.

Comment:

Looked forward to his lectures every day. His demos make physics concepts seem more applicable and just plain fun. The iClicker was used for participation points, not graded on correctness, which made lectures less stressful. It's not an easy class, but you won't regret taking it.
