If you choose his class, you are a fool, you need to spend more than five times more than other physics professor effort and no extra points

Comment:

This is a fascinating professor Other class exam questions are accompanied by pictures, but his exam a picture is not, let you understand it is very difficult, but his homework contains pictures There was a student who wrote all the steps, but the last step was wrong, he almost did not give points Do not choose his class

He knows what he's talking about but definitely does not know how to teach. Don't take him if you don't have to.

Comment:

His grading is straightforward. Drops the lowest test grade. Exams are usually around 5 questions, typically one per topic/chapter covered. Final was 8 questions. Based on your grade in the class and how you do on the final he will do his best to pass you). Really smart, clear teaching, but might go a bit fast for some depending on comfort level.

Comment:

He shows a mastery of Physics. The subject isn't easy by any means and he isn't the easiest professor either but he will make you understand. For the 3 tests and 1 final he gives out, he chooses questions from the textbook which are blue color problems (2-3 step problems).

Comment:

his labs are boring, spends like 30 minutes just introducing the topic and doesn't know what he's talking about. takes points off for the smallest mistakes and the longest lab reports are due every week!

Comment:

Nothing really too hard, just make sure you know the concepts behind equations. Three tests and a final, lowest grade is dropped. He knows a lot about the subject and often recycles his test questions from the homework(graded on only completion) or lectures. Wouldn't mind taking him again for another course.

Comment:

Many people judged him for his accent and claimed he was a bad teacher. However his accent is not so hard to understand, and he actually has a great mastery of physics. He is especially helpful when you ask him questions during his office hours. Textbooks are not really needed in this class if you follow his lectures and go to office hours.

Comment:

Hard of hearing. Your savior is web assign. He won't always right the answers in class(most of the time they are correct). You need to understand the concept of the equations, i.e. when to use it (he does not write definitions in words, he uses symbols).

Comment:

He was very difficult to understand due to language barrier. I am a solid A student and got an A in class BUT i basically used the textbook to teach myself everything! Tests are composed of 5 20 pt questions and 1 test is dropped but the final counts. He is a nice man though and will try to help you if he sees you are motivated.

Comment:

He's very difficult to understand when he explains things, and he makes you sit and listen to his 45 minute explanations of really simple labs so his explanations take even longer than the labs sometimes. He also requires really in depth lab reports and grades pretty hard.

Comment:

He ties the math into the physics decently. He, however; never understood my questions, was condescending while answering questions I never asked, and made me dread lab. I got an A in lecture, but a C+ in lab. He never demonstrated a particular mastery of the subject, but he might be different in lecture.
