Professor Guo is a very intelligent man. He knows his physics and he knows it very well. He cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Make you sure you attend class, participate, ask questions, do homework, and you will be solid. An A is easily achievable if you put in the work. You won't regret taking this class!!!!

Professor Guo is a great physics instructor. He knows his physics very well. He really cares about his students and them learning the material. He will stay after class for as long as you need him to and explain concepts and problems. His exams are straightforward. Take Professor Guo. You will not regret it!

He really cares about the students. If you come to class, pay attention, do the homework and ask questions you will do well. The labs instruction is a bit skimpy but not really tested.

Professor Guo is an excellent teacher. He has a true passion for physics which is evident through his lectures. I enjoyed his class this semester. Take careful notes and make sure you do the homework. By doing so, you will do well on the exam. As a petroleum engineering major, I feel confident that Professor Guo has prepared me to succeed. LSU!!

Professor Guo is very helpful the material is hard it takes time you have to read over and over, if you do the HW and lab you should be fine. the professor is willing to stay late or come earlier and give you his time to go over the material again , dont be shy ask questions,

Tests are not easy, yet the advantage is that tests are based on examples and homework. He gives points for attendance. I will take him again for phys 2326. Also the textbook is the 7th Ed of Phys for which makes it more affordable than the latest one.

Professor Guo explains the material very well. He makes some hard chapters much easier to understand. He is willing to help. The tests are not hard as long as you attend the class and do the homework, since all the questions are from the class example and HW.

Professor Guo was a good teacher who makes the classroom a learning environment. If you show up every day and do all the homework you will do fine. He doesn't put up with rude people who are having side conversations in the class or cheat. I look forward to taking him again for university physics II.

He's a awesome Prof. University physics 2 is hard but he explain it in a way that you'll understand the concepts. Take his class because he will prepare you for future classes such as engineering courses. Great Prof should have taken him for university physics 1. I'll take him again. -electrical engineering student

So I'm already taking both phys 1 and 2 sounds hard but taking it with prof guo made is easy for me . 3 exams and hws. His exams are over whatever he covers in the class and hws. Definitely suggest taking his class

Professor is awesome. Physics is hard, so don't expect to be lazy. However, he is there to help you even after class, if you need him. 3 tests with 40% for attendance and homework. He gives reviews before each test. Tests are bases on the homework and textbook's examples that he had talked in class, so make sure you do not skip class.

test is easy but you need to a lot of personal work in order to pass this class. he has a strong accent. that make it kind of difficult to understand him. when you get you to it, you ll be fine. you ask questions right away when you don't understand something

Took AQ for Phys 2 during summer. Physics is a challenging subject. Taking it during summer was even more challenging. Prof AQ is a very nice guy but difficult to understand because of his accent. He is there to help and answer questions. His exams can be difficult if you don't study but pretty straight forward if you pay attention and study.

Dr. Guo is a great physics professor. He really cares about his students. He encourages us to ask questions and gives extra credit for showing interest and participating in class. His homework and tests aren't hard, and he explains the material in the easiest and simplest way possible. I plan to take him for Physics 2 this summer.

Professor Guo cares for his student and is one of the most capable Physics professors I have met. He is very knowledgeable about this subject and has 20 years of Phyics Research together with 15 years of teaching under his arm. Hard questions hardly bother him, if at all. He is very clear in his explanation and tests are basic concepts check.

If you are from the ones who procrastinates, beware. If you are willing to work, AQ is the best. Don't rely on textbook, he will teach to do the problems his way, not the textbook way. It actually is easy and makes sense but that also means that you have to pay attention in class. Do that and an hour of work after class should easily get you an A.

His test are like the homework he gives you but not exactly like it, it has twist to it. I should've FAILED his class but I made a C out. I failed the 1st test horrible on (F) and the 2nd test failed but he over looked something and I told him so I made a (C) and the final I know I fail because I didn't finish make sure you do the problems he does

Professor Guo cares for his student. He is not the best teacher ever but clearly better than most of Physic teachers on campus.

Prof. Guo does have an accent but he is understandable. Book is "required" but his method/notes were much simpler and easier to comprehend,very important to attend class! Encourages participation and duly notes it when grading exams. He's right-handed so be sure to sit on the left side of classroom (you'll thank me later.) Overall great professor!

I was incredibly lucky to register for professor Guo's class. All other classes were full. Guo turned out to be one of the best professors that I have had in my college experience. He really cares that you learn the material, and he doesn't want to trick students. He's not trying to fail anyone. Teaches the subject thouroughly, and tests basics.

Professor Guo is pretty great compared to some university professors I've had. He grades leniently on free-response exams. He allows a page of notes on exams. No final. Homework and extra credit beef up your grade. Lecture is critical, and textbook was optional but definitely helpful. Physics II is tough but not impossible!

Great professor, I took his summer course and felt confident in my learning ability and his teaching ability. You only need the book to view examples and do the homework. If you take decent notes you'll pass easily. Extra credit helps a lot. Ask questions, participate, do the homework and you'll ace the class! Tests are homework and notes based.

Honestly, if you do the homework and practice some examples before a test, you will be fine or even get easily an A. his accent can be hard to understand but if you take his note and try to apply his method to solve a question. Then, there is nothing difficult in this course. I think he cares students a lot, show him respect..

This class was difficult, but the teacher laid out every step you need to get an A. In the classes before quizzes and exams, he told us what types of problems we could expect and worked through the problems that we would see. You do need to study with this Professor but overall he was great. He does has a strong accent but he's understandable.

This class is really easy. If you pay attention during the class, it is easy to get an A. This professor detailed on almost everything. I think the negative review shows either they are stupid or lazy.

Amazing prof! I knew I was not good at Phys before taken his class. After two lectures, there were no worry at all. Lectures are well organized,very clear, always have reviews/summarize to help you remember. He teaches in a way to make you actually understand. Just take notes on classes and work on that, then get A easily! Definitely recommend!

Prof Guo is a fair grader. Starting class he was a little difficult to understand, but as class progressed he made clear his intentions. You'll get a good grade in his class if you attend and look over your notes periodically. Everything on his tests and quizzes have been mentioned in his notes. With this in mind, you shouldn't need the book.

Prof. Guo did a great job teaching a tough subject. Lectures are easy to understand. His labs help you learn the topics covered in class. He gives opportunity for extra credit and offers additional help if needed. His methods for some of the more difficult topics are helpful and easy. Read the book, go to class & do the homework. Put in effort.

If you go to class and take good notes, you'll get a good grade. I honestly only used the book for clarifications on a couple of topics. Prof Guo only tests you on examples given throughout lectures. If you're an engaged student he'll also give you extra credit. If you don't care about the class, don't expect to get any favors.

Prof Guo is a pretty straight forward instructor. If you show initiative, you'll do well in his class. Although there was a lot of homework, credit is received for at least trying. Understanding notes and homework made tests easy. This instructor really cares for his students. If you care about your performance, he'll do his best to help you out.

This professor knows the material he is teaching very well. He organizes his lecture so that as long as you are attentive to his lecture, you should follow along well. I have been studying for the MCAT and taking his class over the circuits helped a lot. He does give pop quizzes, but his grading criteria is very clear on the syllabus.

Very nice professor. His voice is kinda hard to hear. He's willing to answer every question. His lecture is very organized. Study his example carefully you will do well on exams. He's a tough grader thou. You also need to study hard by yourself to make an A.

Awesome professor. Took PHYS2325 (university physics) with him back two years ago. Explains everything clearly, accent is not a problem. Cares a lot about his students, ready to help outside of class. Coming to class is important) as well as doing the homework. Would definitely recommend to take him. You'll learn a lot and have fun!!!

bad reviews lazy students. All the information you will need for quizzes and tests will be written on the board. AQ does it his way simplifies equations to make it easier on you. He grades hard because if you miss a step-the whole problem will be wrong. AQ is available anytime for help and is understanding of students life outside of class.

He had good examples and some were funny. I enjoyed the class.

Professor Guo is the best teacher in Physics at Hccs. Do not listen to the other lazy student! He made Physics is simple and easy to understanding. He also really cares each students. If you do not understanding anything, stay after class and ask him, he will explain detail for you. He also gives a lot of extra credits, and you will easy get an A!

At first this guy comes off pretty strict, but he's not. Do your work, as questions, stay after class or go to office hours, and come to class on time. He really likes participation. He's a nice guy. Now sometimes things might not make sense but slow him down and ask him to explain. The tests follow the lecture and the textbook.

AQ is great at explaining the theory behind physics. However, his accent can be a bit heavy, so it's important that you read the material before you come to class to make sure you fully absorb the lecture. He grades fairly and gives a-lot of partial credit. If you put in the effort you will get an A. The examples he chooses are often funny.

I think he is a good professor, and I'm planning to take him for university physics 2. it might get confusing during his lecture because I did not study ahead of time. But if you prepare or study the topic ahead of time, you will be on the same page. He is really fair in grading the exams. His exams are not hard.

Has an accent, but I took his 5 week lab class, so his accent may affect a lecture more harshly. Otherwise, he seems intimidating and strict at first, but is very clear with what he wants. Just make sure labs look nice and are semi detailed and you will get a 100. Lab final looks hard but he gives 50 bonus points. No reason to get below an A.

I took prof AQ for both physics 1401 and 1402 and he is by far the best professor to take physics with. He is very "DISCIPLINED" and expects the same from his students. He knows his stuff and it is very obvious he does not teach with anything at all its all in his head. He can be funny at times and serious at times. enroll in his class and learn!!!

He gives you everything you need to succeed: Handouts, previous students notes, a cheaper older text to buy ($25), & many examples. I stayed after class & asked questions. I went to reviews. You can't be late. His English makes it hard for both him and you. HCC class time is not long enough to finish examples, but they are in the book so look there

Professor AQ is a wonderful Physicist and an excellent Professor who emanates a down to earth philosophy. From day one he tells you that you need to work hard to be successful in the course. For every hour spent in class one should meet it with 3 hours study-time.

He wants you to learn & doesn't scroll through powerpoints. Read the textbook before class & review. Sit in the front so you will understand his accent. Print out student notes so you won't waste time writing down notes. He tells you what is on the test. Put in a lot of effort & ask him questions after every class so you will learn more. Study hard

The lecture of Professor Guo is pretty organized and concise. The course materials are well prepared and inspring. not only summarizing the key knowledge points for each chapter, but also providing comparison tables for several knowledge points to avoid confusion. He would reponse your questions after class by email and offer extra credits.

Professor Guo tells you upfront what he expects from you. If you are willing to put in the hours to study, do the homework and ask questions I definitely recommend! I am a average student but got an A in both his courses, he is very straightforward on what he will test you on. Very fair grader. Overall amazing professor!

Professor Guo is a great Physics instructor. Professor is very clear in the lectures about course material to be graded on. If you study what he teaches , you will make a very good grade. His quizzes are great practice problems for major exams. Professor Guo is a very organized instructor and teaches Physics clearly and straight forward.

I took both 1401 & 1402 with AQ & he is the BEST!! Any bad review on here is from someone who doesn't do the homework or pay attention. Go to class, sit in the front, and you can't fail. He genuinely wants you to learn and understand physics, and tells you what will be on the tests. He's also really funny - I think I laughed out loud every day

I took this class during the summer 2 session and studied the examples he gives. He will point out examples that will be in the test. Bringing the book to class to look at the examples he talks about helped me understand his accent better. Overall, I probably studied 1-2 hours after class and was fine for the tests.

Great Professor! Homework and lab reports are straightforward and not super difficult. If you do them in the format he wants youll get an easy 100. Quizzes are super easy and open book. Exams are very similar to homework and quizzes. Highly recommend!

Professor AQ is very knowledgable in physics and funny. No nonsense tolerated in the lab. Attitude is very important. Ask Questions! Get Understanding Out.

Professor AQ is one of the best science professors in HCC. I took phys I and II with him and I got almost 100 on every thing. He is very nice, patient and his teaching method is very clear. He tries to help his students in any possible ways. Of course, it is not an easy pass class if you don't attend his lecture or put effort on it. Love him!

Professor AQ is an extremely knowledgeable person! He teaches in a very straight forward and simple manner. Will give you exam reviews similar to the exam. There are homework assignments but those will help you understand the material. I would highly recommend Professor AQ to any STEM Majors!

Professor AQ is very patient and willing to help students to get good grades! His teaching methods is straight forward, and if you pay attention in class and do the homework, you will be fine!

AQ is one of the best professors in HCC. He's so knowledgeable and he wants all of his students to succeed. He offers bonus points and so much opportunities to students who care and respect his class. He's such an amazing professor and he deserves a better rating. I took both 1401 & 1402 with him, I followed his syllabus and earned 100.

He handled the transition to online learning because of COVID-19 well, and was helpful in office hours. He's generous with his grading and makes his requirements clear. He definitely tries to help all of his students succeed, and he is very quick to respond to messages. His brief lectures before each lab are excellent.

Took 5 week summer course. Assignments everyday. Do all the hw, they are just like the quizzes/tests. I hate physics but I left this class understanding it well. Pay attention in lecture, especially when he works problems copy his whole process down. He stresses basic concepts so you understand the logic, not just memorizing a process. Be dedicated

He gives alot of hw and in his online class there was a quiz basically every day. His quizzes/exams are very easy if you pay attention to the lectures and mainly go over his notes beforehand. All the questions on both quizzes and exams come from questions/examples given before in either hw/classnotes. Overall a lot of work but you should make an A

I was so afraid to take Physics 2 because I'm not the best when it comes to sciences. I decided to take it the summer before my last year to graduation & I don't regret it. Pay attention & you will understand everything, he makes so INCREDIBLY SIMPLE to learn physics 2. His format is very simple w/ slight differences - Lectures = quiz = hw = exams.

It is a little bit difficult to understand him, but he writes and makes notes very well and is easy to follow. If you actually pay attention to his lectures then you shouldn't have a problem doing well in the class.

He really cares about his students learning and always encourages questions during class. He makes himself very approachable and accessible to his students. There is a bit of a language barrier, but if you pay attention during lecture you will do fine in the course. He is very knowledgable, makes physics easy to learn, and also a lenient grader.

There's so much extra credit and he makes everything in a simplified form. If you can't figure something out, he makes himself approachable to questions. If you don't understand a topic and you choose NOT to take advantage of the numerous times he asks if everyone's on the same page. Then you're just bad. Don't blame him if you suck.

Physics 2 concepts were harder than physics 1 but Professor AQ made it easy to understand. He gets to the point and does not make things harder than it needs to be. Take him!

Took him for physics 1401 and 1402, got an A in both courses. I was nervous at first because physics is a very intimidating class but professor AQ gave a lot of room for asking questions. Lots of work outside of class but homework and lecture prepare you for exams. Extra credit just for having camera on and participating. Great professor overall.

Professor Guo, or "AQ" as he tells us to call him, is very respectful and caring towards his student if there was a professor that I had to take for Physics, it would be him. He sometimes gets a bad rep because of how difficult the subject is. In all honesty, he tries his best to make Physics as bearable as possible, even for first timers.

I took Professor AQ for Physics I & II over the summer. The language barrier is a little tough the first day or so but after that you can quickly get the jist of what he's saying with no issue. He tries his best to make physics into a game or puzzle, which really helps you learn HOW to do physics. He knows how to make physics beginner friendly.

I am not great at physics, but professor aq sets up the class to help you pass. As long as you do the homework and quizzes you should be ready for the exams. Lecture is mandatory but it definitely helps alot with prepping for exams and homework. Still need to do plenty of studying to pass though.

He is the best physic professor you could have! He gave a lot of extra credits and each exam just like the quizzes problems he gave us! Physics is a hard class but with this professor, you will pass it easily!

easy if you do everything he says

I have taken professor AQ for 2 semesters and he simplifies things down very well. Physics is a very difficult course but as long as you PAY ATTENTION and write down absolutely everything he does in his lecture notes!!! you will be okay :) participate + ask questions + be interested/show that you are trying your best.

Don't let the harsh reviews cloud your judgement. Physics is a very difficult class, go to every lecture, show that you care, use all materials hw and quizzes to study for tests and you will be okay.

wonderful professor, perfect lecture, easy A's. Pick him!

Attend the perfect lecture, get an easy A, pick him!

Talks through entire class time but wants to be interrupted for questions and clarification. Extra credit point available based on class participation. No textbook needed. Give example problems similar to hw and quiz questions. Explains equations and steps better than text book. Tried to make the information easier to understand

Great professor, its my first time understanding physics he requires mandatory attendance and you have to turn on the camera in lab but he explains slowly so we can understand and he is great professor in explaining physics. I recommend him

I took Professor Guo for Physics 2, and his class was easier than my Physics 1 class. His class is very straightforward—just follow his instructions, and you can earn a good grade. He offers a lot of extra points (about 8% on the final grade), and his exams are similar to his quizzes and homework but much easier. Take him!

His lecture style is very clear. HW, quizzes, and exams are exactly the same as practice questions from his lectures. Yes, there could be a language barrier but not to the point that it affects your understanding of materials. You'll get extra credits if you show up on time with a camera on. Go to lecture, take notes, work on practice questions.

He's honestly a great lecturer. Prof AQ was great at breaking down complex topics and his lecture was easy to follow. He's also responds to emails regarding questions on the material and is very helpful after class. It's not an easy class but the tests were straightforward. I recommend him!

took phys 2 with him in summer 2025, super easy professor. he avoided all questions that involved calculus and the question on the tests were straight from the canvas hw. easy A.

I highly recommend Dr. Guo as a Physics instructor. As a non-traditional student who has often struggled with Physics, I found his teaching style exceptionally clear and supportive. He uses traditional board writing during lectures and also provides additional review videos recorded outside of class, which greatly enhance understanding.

Professor Guo deserves a better score than he has. If you're willing to put in the work required, this class will teach you a lot and you will enjoy it. But you'll need to drill problems and understand the theory. Do you want to learn Physics? Take this class. Want to *not learn Physics* and still get an A? Not likely. Expect to WORK and LEARN.

I took Physics 1401 with Professor Guo, and he was a great instructor. His lectures were clear, and the recorded videos on Canvas made studying more manageable. He gives partial credit on exam questions if you show your work and offers extra credit for attendance and participation at the end of the semester, which can really help your grade.

Professor Guo is great. If you attend class, pay attention, and study, you'll do well. He offers extra credit that helps your final grade at the end of the semester. Quizzes and homework are on Canvas, so don't miss deadlines or lab days. I honestly would have an A in the class if I didn't work full-time. Would definitely recommend.
