Comment:
ONLY TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU REALLY LOVE PHYSICS He's a great researcher but not a really good lecturer; barely covers the entirety of the concepts so be ready to learn most of it from the textbook, quizzes are really chill and he allows discussion

Comment:
I basically had to teach myself the entire course because the lectures were extremely dull and he went off on unrelated tangents every day. He talked more about the history of the physics than how it actually worked. The only reason I didn't rate him lower is because he will attempt to help you if you ask and he does seem to care a decent amount.

Comment:
Dr. Koltick isn't the worst lecturer I've ever had, but I definitely wouldn't describe him as the best. He seems really nice, but he isn't a good lecturer. He doesn't pace himself well and misses material important to tests because he is talking about the history of physics.

May be one of the worst professors I have ever had. Terrible at explaining complexities intrinsic to the material, much less even the simple material. That being said, he obviously is very passionate and knowledgeable about his work. He's just a truly awful teacher.

You can tell that he loves physics, but he does tend to get off topic during lectures. Read the book, do the homework, and come to class and you'll do fine.

Terrible physics professor. Attempts to call people out in class for non issues. Avoid at all costs.

There we two textbooks, and both were required reading to do well in the class. Quite a substantial workload for 3 credit hours, but certainly not impossible.

He makes simple concept take on hardships of their own. You will be in a world of hurt after you have sat through one of his lectures. The man knows not even how to operate a basic computer...I am certain that the point is across. I will leave it at that.

PHYS 241 Coordinator/Lecturer; Purdue will never have a respected Physics program while Prof. Koltick is around. Not just a complete waste as teacher but an unkind individual without a desire for students to learn.

Poor lecturer, doesn't answer questions, inability to make sure our exam location is not used by another course (yes, we had to wait an hour to take an exam), physics profs at purdue are seriously lacking.

Comment:
Doesn't know how to answer questions in a simple sense. I feel that he has done too much research and is at such a high level in his understanding of physics that he cannot break it down into terms that a person who is first taking it can understand. I have taken physics before and he just made problems and explanations much harder.

Not a horrible professor, but still left a bad taste in my mouth. Tends to sidestep questions, and won't deal with concerns about ambiguity of questions.
