Comment:

the best physics professor EVER. he makes everything understandable and shows you all kinds of tricks to solve things in an easier way. he's always available for extra help and is EXTREMELY clear when explaining things. tells you what he expects on his exams and doesn't try to trick you. i wish he taught every single course at school

Comment:

Laird was amazingly clear, and in his time, was the best professor in the department. He's not at Trinity anymore -- he went to Texas Lutheran University where they actually appreciate his efforts. He really set the standard for these two classes, which Ugolini now teaches. Ugolini was 2nd to Laird and is now the best since Laird left.

A really great professor! He is very patient and always willing to help and explain things. If you need extensions on homework, he will uaually always grant it. He is easy going, understanding, and makes physics a fun class!

Great teacher, really knows what he's talking about. Tests are easy; he doesn't try and trick you. Gives marks for homework. Explains things well and is always willing to help students in class or outside of class. Very fun guy, too. Highly recommended!

Only had him for lab but, he was great! We were always out of lab hours before the other sections. :-) Explained everything above and beyond the call of clarity.

Comment:

Experimental Physics is a totally evil course (6 hours/week) but Laird is the best prof you could ask for. He's incredibly accesable, helpful, and will explain things to you 6 times in a row in needed. His grading is tough but he prepares you well.
