Comment:
Prof. Akerib is a great professor. At first few weeks grading is kind of tough and the class feel a little boring, but later the class get more interesting and substantial. He pretends he's boring but he's in fact pretty interesting. The class is graded fairly. I'd recommend him. And go to his office hour!

Comment:
Professor Akerib is one of the best teachers I've had. He has a sense of humor, and his lectures are to the point. Often times he spends too much time going of a concept which forces him to breeze over another concept at the end of class.

Comment:
Physics is probably my least favorite subject of all. Akerib was able to keep my attention during most of the classes and was generally interesting to listen to. His homeworks are WAY harder than his lectures, and are way too long for only 20 points worth. His test curves will save you though.

Comment:
His lectures are more about proving theorems, but he tends to not teach the basics. Examples are very complex, so I would recommend reading the textbook to get the basic questions down. Homework is difficult because they are very complex. Make sure you know things you have learned because the information builds on itself. Got an A because final.

Comment:
He keeps lectures more interesting than they, in reality, are, and he is a fine teacher. However, his homework assignments and tests are nothing like the lectures he presents, or the book he has you read. But he curves, on the plus side.

He's better on mediavision first and foremost. He seems to genuinely care that people are learning in his class and makes it easy to understand even though it can be hard at times. he is one of the better physics professors at Case. Great guy!

Comment:
class wasn't hard per se... it's just that the tests didn't correlate with the homeworks at all, and the homeworks didn't correlate with the lectures at all. so basically it was hard to learn the information you needed to do well on the tests.
