Comment:

I took Dr. Tulsian for Physics 1 and 2 with Calculus. He pretty much gives you the test questions and changes the numbers around. If you do the work it's a pretty easy class. If you don't do the work he'll still give you a C. You have to physically try to fail this class.

Comment:

He is there to help you learn physics, but also will not spoon-feed the subject to you. He will help you understand how it all works, then expect you to read some at home, and do homework . He is not mean, he expects great things from you because he knows that every person is brilliant. Be there in class, organize well, pay attention, and ask ?'s .

Comment:

The test questions are derived from the problems you do in class. The grading criteria is concise. He is easily the best professor I have taken at DSC, and simply studying a few hours per day will guarantee an A. He doesn't appreciate people that aren't paying attention, so avoid using your phone during lectures. He is always available after class.

Comment:

Don't let the bad reviews fool you as far as the teacher's personality. He is an amazing professor that is extremely knowledgeable. Honestly the subject matter is not the easiest at all but he creates an environment of learning unlike any other physics professor. Take him and you will learn plenty of real world applications of the material.

Comment:

This is a very casual professor. There are no presentations or any of that BS (in lab you have to work in a group of 2-5 people). There are 4 tests and they are the problems he does from the book with different #s. He lectures for half the class and then does the associated problems from the book on his iPad and and projects it to the board.

Comment:

Professor Tulsian knows the material himself but has a very difficult time relating it to the class. He often will just work out a problem without give much explanation of how he got his answers. His test are all scantron; they are extremely challenging to complete in the time allotted. I have not felt as comfortable learning the info as usual.

Comment:

Hands down the WORST professor Ibe ever taken at DSC. Very unfortunate he is the only professor teaching physics or else I would advise to avoid Dr. Tulsian at all costs. Hard to understand him through his mumbling and rarely explains what he is doing in his class work problems. Extremely rude and condescending. F-

Comment:

One of the worst professors at DSC. He is rude and gets upset when students ask questions in class, not helpful during office hours either. The lectures are useless since he just reads off slides from powerpoints. Got an A in this class, learned nothing. I would like to say avoid him but unfortunately he's the only professor teaching physics.

Comment:

Professor Tulsian couldn't make the class any easier. The ones who rate this professor poorly are just plain lazy. Each chapter he goes through several problems on the board and the exam is composed of the EXACT same questions just different numbers. It truly is an easy A as long as you go through the problems several times on your own!

Took the online physical science. Easy A if you do what your suppose to. He gives lots of extra credit. Emails, disscussions, quiz and tests. Gives feed back and responds quickly. Id def take him again.

Comment:

Problems on the tests ARE THE EXACT SAME as the ones in lecture. The only thing that changes are the numbers on the problems. Grading criteria is straightforward in the syllabus. You can even pass his classes with a 50! Only 4 problems for each homework. He's literally helping you to pass!

Comment:

Though hard to tell, this professor enjoys Physics, and will work with you. However, his grading criteria is very unclear and leaves you guessing often. He puts formulas on the board during tests but seldom do they help. Being in a lecture hall his mumbling does not make his lectures any easier to follow. Content on tests don't match lecture.

He's a pretty cool professor! The workload is kind is not too hard as long as you study. Also, you can pass with a minimum of 50 in this class, but if you're wanting to become an engineer, then you should try to aim for at least a B+ so you'll be prepared for PHY2049.

He's a real genius! I even saw his name on the reviewers section of the textbook we were using for this course! So I really trusted his way of teaching and the problems he chose to do from the book. This was a tough class for me because each physics problem is unique, but I'm currently doing well! Hoping to see him again for Physics 2!

Comment:

Dr. Tulsian is by far the worst professor I have had in my entire life. Not only does he openly insult students, but he also is extremely rude and vulgar during lecture. This professor has ruined physics for many in the class, including myself. I would suggest to take Physics with Calculus elsewhere AT ALL COSTS

Comment:

This is a hard class. I took it with Calc 1 and it made that seem like a day off. You start on day 1 doing derivatives and integrals, which he will show you if you need help. His tests come directly from the book problems we do in class which makes studying nice and simple. He is very funny, however do not think that this class is playtime.

I took this class online and he was great! The course was easy, not much work or tests. A few discussions every other week followed by a practice quiz and quiz. He also offers extra credit assignments, 3 of them!! Didn't really use the text book much at all.
