I was having difficulty with physics in the past. His syllabus was very cut & dry. He is very good at getting you to understand the concepts. He does not mess around & demands respect.

Comment:

AWFUL!!! He never proofreads anything he types, but SUPER PICKY when grading tests. Lecture is boring. He reads slides to you & frequently stops mid-thought to fix his typos. Answered Q's poorly. I felt like I was back in 3rd grade being forced to work problems his way b/c the teacher "says so"

Comment:

Me and my friend were looking for this professor at our college and he had not been rated yet. So we decided to try a college we knew he taught prior to ours. We actually found out why he used to teach there, mainly because he is useless. furthermore this year is his last year at our college go figure. Nonetheless he still has the same problems

Comment:

Makes mistakes on handouts and tests (the corrections he had to make to one test filled up two chalkboards). Friend asked a question, got yelled at because he had already moved on to another subject and da*ned if he was going back. Review sessions were good, but they were much longer than he said they would be.

Comment:

he's inconsistent. He'll explain how he wants your work to be done on tests/homework, but when he does a problem for the class he doesn't even follow his own guidelines. Unfair with grading as well. On some problems he'll take of .5 pt, and others 2 pts. Stay away.

Comment:

Absolutely terrible. Tests take hours to do and then you don't get them back forever. Also, he's SO anal about passing papers back and pretty much everything. He doesn't proofread his tests, and it's obvious. Never, ever take him.

Comment:

Class was interesting, if you are interested in this kinda stuff. He provides plenty of information and is a very intelligent man. His tests are kind of tricky, you have to know your stuff foreward and backwards. Offers extra credite and will help you if needed. I would take him again.

Comment:

This guy is awful. I have never met someone on such a power trip, he can't teach and when he tries he's only pathetic. His tests are rediculous and most of the time they're all backwards. I don't recommend him.

Comment:

If you study how to do the problems he puts on the board (which he tells you will be on the test), you will be fine. He says up front how picky he is with units. If you do the problems the way he wants you'll get full credit. He does go slower, so if you want to do well on the MCAT, take someone else a little harder.

Comment:

He's a good professor. As long as you do the homework problems, you'll know how to do every question on every exam. All the stuff people complain about, like pickiness, is because they're too lazy to memorize what he puts on the chalkboard every day of class. Easy class.
