Comment:

His lectures are boring and just talk. Does hand out notes. His test are amazing, not easy, but well made. You can reason out questions and he will accept them if your reasoning is sound. Not a my way or the high way teacher, as long as you prove your answer. Learn the fundamentals of physics by heart and you will pass his class.

Took this class in summer. I cannot recommend anyone to submit themselves to the hellish confusion and utter futility that pervade this professor's classroom.

Comment:

The good, he gives you the notes and the sample problems. The bad is that the lectures are dull and less exciting than just reading the book. He has a particular way that you have to work problems on test, but does not use that method when showing problems. All of your points lost will be format errors. Not cause you didn't understand the subject.

Hard to stay awake and pay attention. Too much material to go through to prepare for tests. Would not take him again. Unless you absolutely have to, or if this is the only class you're taking, don't take him. :(

Comment:

Our class signed a petition against the way he teaches to give to the school board. It was a challenge to pay attention for more than 2 minutes. I had to repeat my question to him 6 times once until I was almost screaming.

Comment:

I found myself more worried about following "his way" then actually learning the material. The problems that he works out on the board would be counted wrong in his exams. He avoids doing problems his way because its a waste of time, but yet still expects you to do it his way. The class is fine, just chose a different instructor.

Comment:

So many problems: 1)doesnt know how to "teach". 2) Cant hear the student asking questions. 3) Takes whole class to do 1 problem. 4) FORCES us to solve the LONG and HARD way. If not done like how he done it, minus 10. I took Phys soph High school and i have 3.6 GPA, so no im not stupid. His class is just horrible. ACC needs to fire him, IMMEDIATELY.

Comment:

Prepare to do a lot of outside study to learn anything in this class. All lectures are just PowerPoint slides and frequently have mistakes in them. He takes off points on HW & tests for things like not showing work on basic math and not using the exact format he uses on formulas. He also has a hard time understanding any questions people ask.

Comment:

The professor teaches in a boring approach. Its all powerpoints. He wants your work to be done EXACTLY how he does it. I like physics, but im not learning despite the hours spent studying. There are only 10 students left in class. He gives out a lot of handouts, which he revises constantly. I do not advice anyone to take him.

Comment:

Homework may be 20 problems,you miss 1/2 of one question & lose 15 points.Not even wrong, just don't show your work or work a different way than what was shown.Spends the class doing 1-2 problems, only to almost finish,someone from the class tells him what he did wrong and he starts over.More than 1/2 the class dropped before the 1st test.

Comment:

I am a junior from TSU, and he is beyond a doubt the worst prof I have ever had(or heard of).he thinks that he must teach at the MIT level, takes his responsibility way to seriously and truely just doesnt know how to explain the subject. I mistakingly thought I could just teach my self and go to the tutoring labs,but you have to be a master to pass

The class was fine. You are allowed to take notes into the exams. So long as you put in the hours to prepare there is no problem.

Comment:

the worst teacher I have every had. I took him for engineering physic. Spends to much time going over the note that he did not even write himself and do no help. Does not explain himself well. His test are super hard, no one got higher then 85. There were 28 students when the semester started and only 3 people were left when the semester ended

Comment:

It would take him the whole class time to work one problem! I've seen him "target" the folks that may "seem" trouble makers. He grabbed this girl by the arm and took her outside. He thought she was being disrubtive, but she was asking her neighbor a question.One a good note he will let you make up his labs and sometimes get away w/late Homework.
