Adi is not a good professor. He has no idea how to grade, constantly goes back on his word, and makes the final 25% of your grade. He does not walk you through problems, and it's completely on you to figure out what will even be on the test. He makes ochem seem like a saint. If you have a brain cell left, don't take him.

If there's other professors available, avoid him. If he's the only one teaching, take it the next semester. Unless u love physics lol. Test heavy course (no drop tests, mandatory cumulative final worth 25%) w/ a prof that's inexperienced and seems to care but doesn't. The amount of time I've spent on this class is not giving INTRODUCTORY physics.

He is new to teaching so he made quite a few mistakes in grading. However, students were always compensated and he would give a lot of points back on exams. He is a very sweet guy and is great at answering questions in class. He gives practice exams that look a lot like the real exams so if you study you will do just fine.

Adi was a new professor this year, so I tried to be patient. However, he has made practice exams with no solutions, so even if you do it, you don't know if your work is right. The practice exams as well were nothing like the tests. He took forever to enter grades, and half way through the semester he changed the attendance policy to mandatory.

He is clearly very intelligent, but he is incapable of presenting information at an introductory level. He contradicts himself in lectures and does not correct his mistakes. He is reluctant to give practice exams because they are "too much work" for him and, when he does, they are not representative of the exams. Pray for a curve.

He seemed to be a decent person however he was not prepared to teach at a college level. He altered deadlines, the syllabus, curves, and the grading scheme seemingly on a whim. He graded exceptionally slowly. He did not explain material well and none of his classes or homeworks were relevant to the test. DO NOT TAKE.

It is Adi's first semester teaching & he has 3 sections of 200 students with no graders/TAs, so the course and grading has been disorganized, but he has corrected his mistakes and curves exams/returns points.

There are low ratings due to disorganization, but it is 100% possible to succeed in his class and he genuinely tries to make it this way. He provides practice exams, curves when averages are low, gives back points, & opens extra review sessions for tests. He does random attendance checks thru the semester but only 3 were needed for full credit.

Adi is cool guy and very young but he's not ready to be a college professor in my opinion. Adi changed the syllabus the night before our final exam just to give you an idea of how unorganized he is. However, I don't think his class is hard at all as long as you understand the practice exams. If you get those down, the tests should be pretty easy.

Adi is a great professor overall. Lectures well and tries his best to be engaging. Tests are worth 35%, graded in your favor. Honestly just go to class and pay attention and you will do well. He provides plenty of materials to study and HW are easy and useful for learning. Tests are a little diffucilt but nothing surprising.

This class gives you the resources to succeed. The exams are very straightforward, and so are any other assignments. The lectures are comprehensive, albeit a bit boring sometimes. He really cares that his students do well.

You do not need to go to class, but he does clicker questions. Most of the grade in the course comes from the exams. The exams are all multiple-choice so there is very little room for error. He almost never responds to emails, so it's safe bet to just go to office hours to get your questions answered.

everyday on my way to class i'd walk dangerously close to the road hoping a car would run me over and i wouldn't have to go to class. if you've taken physics before this class shouldn't be bad. but if this is your first physics course get ready to not understand anything that comes out of his mouth, you're gonna have to study EVERYTHING yourself.

Dr. K is one of the best physics teachers I've had! His lectures are engaging, and it's clear he's always looking to improve. Practice exams and keys were super helpful--do those and the online review, and you'll be fine.

Although his lectures aren't the most entertaining, he's constantly working to improve his class. He's very open to ways that he can improve and he tries to help every student. The reviews that he gives for the exams are quite similar to the exams and he has office hours every week if you need help.

He's a friendly teacher with clear lectures. I had taken AP Physics in the past and it definitely helped but if you do the Pearson homework the tests are all multiple choice and way easier than the homework.

Couldn't recommend more! Professor Adi was genuinely my favorite prof during the semester. He puts in effort to learn your names and his teaching made physics really easy to understand. His practice tests are super similar to the actual tests and he gives really helpful practice problems in class.

He is the best! I struggle with science and he made everything easy to understand. Practice tests look exactly like the exams. One group project at the end of the semester instead of final.

Dr. Adi was one of my first professors at UGA, and he is AMAZING! It is evident that he genuinely cares about his students and wants you to succeed. He gives 3 exams, a few homework assignments, Tophat, and a group final project throughout the semester. The exams are easy if you read and take notes on the PowerPoints, and it is so easy to get an A!

Recommend this class to anyone who needs gen ed credit- super easy A especially if you took physics in high school. He is so kind and wants everyone to get an A. Attendance not mandatory, final project instead of a test. Super chill and low-stress for a college science class.

I really love Adi, he is very caring and truly wants to get to know his students and support them. He is a good teacher and his office hours help A TON. Exams are pretty difficult, but not impossible. Do the practice exams and understand why you got questions wrong, but also understand all conceptual stuff. Overall, love him, but the tests are meh

Adi was by far my favorite professor this semester, and made it easy to attend the 9:10am class. Anything 87 or above is an A, he provides scantron sheets and calculators, and always uploads powerpoints. He is just precious and wants everyone to be his friend. Highly recommend!

Dr. K is such a sweet guy. He literally just wants everyone to be his friend. Lecture was not mandatory, but there were TopHat attendance questions every now and then. His tests were so easy and he posted an almost identical practice exam each time. Final was a group project. Was very approachable and helpful after class. Take him!

Not a very engaged professor (never arrived on time), but makes an effort to make it as easy to attain an A as possible. Tests draw directly from online homework assignments. Attendance is not graded, but graded participation questions will appear during class on TopHat. Tends to either dismiss class early or hold over 10 minutes.

He is such a good teacher and explain things so well. As long as you go to class and do the homeworks, you will do good. His exams are somewhat difficult, and you need to set aside time to study, but do the practice exams and you'll be fine.

His lectures are honestly mid. The final is worth 25% of your grade and all his exams are pretty hard. If this is your first physics course take literally anyone else. He is also pretty inaccessible and his office hours are usually at inconvenient timings
