Posted my grade in Uacess at the end of the semester incorrectly, but he fixed it and was super helpful. He is not the best lecturer, he is very quiet, but going to his office hours saved my life.

Sometimes he included what he said from lectures to exams so please show up to class because many people skipped the class. The lecture is unclear but show up to his office hours and he can clarify your questions better. He speaks in a very low voice so sit in front.

Comment:
Tries his very best to get you excited in the material, but it seems difficult for him to get so much information across. His exams weren't too bad, but were very conceptual. I doubt that many other professors would be able to explain this much information with this level of difficulty, so I would take him again over other professors.

Comment:
Not much to say; his lectures are not very useful, the homeworks are time-consuming and somewhat difficult. He will spend a lot of time helping you and explaining if you don't understand though. Also, the quizzes/final exam were tough.

Comment:
Very smart guy and enthusiastic professor. The subject matter is as straightforward as nuclear and particle physics can be. He teaches through slides and the books act as good supplements to the lectures, even though reading isn't required. He is very helpful in office hours, and is accommodating if you need to schedule a different time to meet up.

Egad! I hated taking second semester quantum with him. His lectures were worthless. I got a B.

Comment:
Can't teach at all. Just puts up slides. No confidance. He gives out mostly A's though. I recommend him for an A, with only a moderate amount of work. He understands when students dont get the stuff and just keeps the curve going down.
