Well, he started off the class cracking jokes, and lively. After the first week he seemed distracted, not having fun, and we consistently got out of class two hours early. Everyone seemed to think something was going on with him. I got a B in the class, and I got a 74, 56, 57, on the tests. Not having labs was lame b/c electricity labs are fun.

He is very knowledgeable, and he knows how to break down the subject with different examples to help u to understand what's going on. He helps you alot to get a good grade and he cares about all his students . Wanna make sure u pass. The text book is the main thing u need in this class . Tests are straight from the book's examples.

I took him for a lab and let me tell you that this is the guy. Do not turn in labs late... if you do no have the calculations, print out what you have, add the pictures and all data you have from the computer's program. Sometimes it was too hard for me to find the calculations, so I put all data... as much as I could... I got A...

Worst teacher ever. Literally doesn't even teach. Says he give partial credit... no. Tests are nothing like powerpoints( which he just reads off and doesn't even understand) and then expects you to teach yourself everything. Stuff wasn't on homework that was on the test. He said "it's in the book".... I studied for days.. no it's not...

Horrible teacher. Literally doesn't teach ANYTHING. just reads off Pearson power points(which are already not understandable and can be wrong). Homework is online... good luck with that almost impossible.... and then there's no reviews, he doesn't go over homework, and puts questions on test that we never even SAW! I'm an A STUDENT BTW

So, I made an A in his class and I am really not sure how. I had to teach myself all 16 chapters from the textbook and Khan Academy. His lectures are not useful- just 20 slides of equations without context on how to use them. He "answers" your questions, sure. But in such a way that you are twice as confused as you used to be.

He truly cares about the success of his students. Participation is a must and so is attendance. If you show him that you truly care about your grade, then he cares about you doing well in the class.

I took the class over the summer. The book is important for trying to understand concepts.

Enjoyed the experience overall and no huge issues with him. Very understanding and lights up the room with his corny jokes and smile. Some criticisms though would be: to go more in depth for problems and concepts, I felt sometimes hed skim over a concept that needed more attention.

He's funny and personable but the reason he has high ratings is due to extra credit and exam reviews. His exams are poor for there is no way to tell what kind of concept questions will be on the exam. Reading the textbook does not help because the concept questions on the exams are not based on the textbook. Calculations are simple though.

However, I was disappointed with a way he teaches and makes exams. Most were concept questions that were not covered during lectures/homework. Whereas homework is complicated calculation problems.

This professor is one of the easiest ones I've taken for a lab class. Day one he explained that all we had to do was show up, finish the lab with our group, and make our own lab report on it. Even if you forget to submit on time, he graded after the due dates. There was nothing else to it. If you want an easy physics lab, take this professor.

The labs are very simple to understand and complete. You get to work with a group of four, and you typically take no longer than an hour and a half to finish. He gives you the structure on how he wants his lab reports to be done on the first day, and going forward, they are simple to repeat. Please take him if you need this class.
