Comment:

I checked a thesaurus and teacher is listed as a synonym for professor. Most at Tandon leave me wondering if someone at Merriam-Webster made a mistake, but they probably just took Professor Mugglins class at some point. Hell teach you physics and what a competent and caring professor looks like. Dont miss out.

He's so kind and is able to get the material across than anyone else in the department. If you show up to class and take good notes, you should be able to do fine. Physics I/II/III are all difficult courses, but he's really good at explaining everything.

He's most people's favorite professor. He'll make you fall in love with physics only because of how much he loves it. He doesn't expect anything from anyone nor does he judge anybody for anything. Role Model

This is the best person to have for lecture in the department for Physics 1013, 2023, and 2033 (although DiBartolo is also a solid choice). If you show up to lecture and do the homework, you'll pass. Prof. Mugglin is also really kind and was really helpful during office hours.

Comment:

Had him for both physics 2 and 3, TAKE HIM ABOVE ALL OTHER PROFS. Such a kind and gentle teacher who cares about endowing his own love for physics upon his students. He will give you the best fighting chance to pass the terrible tests made by the department. Attendance is not mandatory but you will probably fail if you don't go.

Comment:

FINALLY, a class that guarantees you will pass the exams if you attend all the lectures. Outstanding professor, you can tell he cares a lot as thoroughly and deliberately covers the material, with no fear of asking him to re-elaborate and some occasional fun in-class demonstrations of concepts. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!

Professor Mugglin makes physics understandable to a 10 year old. He explains every concept so clearly and provides examples that make it really easy to follow along. I hated physics until I took it with Mugglin.

Comment:

He's very clear with his notes and gives really good examples. Also, he's accessible outside of class and very approachable. If you go to lecture and pay attention you'll pass! The only thing is that he likes to derive a lot of the equations, so you probably should review your Calc I and II. Nonetheless, would take again!

Professor Mugglin made me actually love physics! He's such a gentle guy and extremely smart, and he really cares about his students. He explains things really thoroughly and gives so many examples so you really can understand the material and see it in different ways.

Really amazing man with a great personality too. I really do love him. He is very passionate about teaching and it shows really well. Physics 2 was hard, but he made it easy to understand. He also approached me outside of class to ask how I was doing! That's so nice of him. In class, he genuinely wants to know the students. He cares. He is so nice.

Really amazing professor. Though Physics 2 is hard, Professor Mugglin explains it really well and I learned plenty from him. I felt like I understood it. He is also the most qualified to teach it with the most experience in teaching out of all the other professors. His English and voice is amazing unlike the other professors. He is also really nice

He's an adorable old man and really nice. He's very clear in his lectures and I did well on my exams and quizzes. He likes to include people in class and is very respectful. He derives most of the equations on the formula sheet in class, so be ready for some calculus!

Comment:

Thorough with derivations of equations, while interesting and funny. He's really really nice and an effective professor. I've heard that if you ask him for help during office hours, he would go through the entire lecture again if he has to, although I never confirmed this myself. His lessons are pretty effective the first time.

He is so adorable (in an grandfather kind of way)! Very soft spoken and kind. It will be your dream to make apple pie with him. Easy to follow for the most part. You need to know math very well, he uses it A LOT to derive half of the equations on the formula sheet.

Very soft spoken fellow and extremely nice. Does many practice problems in class which are extremely helpful. Many people don't show up to lecture, but I went to all of them because I found them enjoyable.
