Great teacher. If you don't understand, he's always willing to help, even if it's not his class that you're struggling in. Has a LOT of knowledge in his subject areas and in areas outside his expertise.

Very good teacher. If you are willing to learn the material, he will do whatever it takes to see you succeed.. He don't cut alot of slack. He is very fair across the board. A very caring teacher that wants to see you succeed. A++++

Great teacher overall, but can be taken as tough. Very knowledgeable on subjects taught and will take the time with you to help you understand. Tests can sometimes be tricky, so beware!!!

He will help you out in anyway even with other class if you donot understand what is going on. His test can be tricky so be carefull.

Very nice teacher. Easy to learn from. Has alot of patience.

great Professor for so young! Lots of help for those who put in serious effort. No slack if you don't attend class. Lots of trick questions on tests!!!

If all my teachers were like Ben, i would have a Dr. in front of my name, he is understanding and will take all the time you need to get the material, it was a pleasure to be in his class, and would recommend anyone who wants to learn that Ben is the man, a good guy and a great teacher, pay attention go to class and do your work you will be fine.

Great Teacher. Always willing to help if you are willing to put in the effort.

Great teacher!Willing to help anyone!

Great teacher. Very helpful and teaches at a level everyone can understand.

Ben's a great teacher. Very helpful, and doesn't mind taking the extra time to make sure a student understands something.

Overall a very helpful teacher. Very easy to get along with, and he really enjoys teaching. Looking forward to more classes with him.

Awesome instructor. Easy class as long as you put the study time in.

Ben is a great instructor. He doesn't mind taking the extra time to go over the work until everyone understand.

Loved the class and the teacher. Extremly important not to get behind as on chapter leads into the next. could have used a lil more review b4 test. A+

Ben is a great teacher and he really makes Physics easy to understand. He has a real passion for Physics.

Uses great analogy.

NOT ALL THAT HARD, JUST HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION AND STAY ON TOP OF EVERYTHING

Very knowlegable about material as well as explanation of said material.Extremely helpful but stern on grading.Very little rounding.Your grade is your grade.

On task and delivers the subject matter.

Wish there more hands on work we could do but overall its a great class to take

Ditto, Learned to have fun with physics at 8:00 A.M.

Excellent instructor! Hard class u cant get behind in. Fair and very helpful.

Very well presented information.

Ben knows his stuff. If you put the work in, you will get an A. He takes the time to explain, in detail, all aspects of the material. The class is fun and Ben is an engaging teacher. Just remember, Ben is not like other teachers. You EARN your grade in his class. Nothing is given to you.

Ben is an outstanding instructor. He will take the time in class to give real world examples of physics problems. He is always willing to help even after classroom hours and has even been extremely helpful in other classes as well. He is fair in his grading and all students are held to the same level. A pleasure being in his classes.

Ben Is a great teacher but if you start slacking he will burn you. If you need help he will help you but you better have a specfic question cause if think he just goin to give the right answer WRONG. But If you take it serious and handle your bussiness no problem. One more thing be on time and dont miss days ur finshed

Ben is a great teacher if you want to be taught but if you think you can come in this class late or miss a lot of days you will be in this class the next year that it is offered.

Ben is a good teacher he has a strict attendance policy and a special way of teaching.

outstanding class, I recommend this instructor.

Ben is a great teacher. He taught me alot about pysics and problem solving. But be EXTREMELY Careful Ben would mark Jesus Christ himself late for class.

Ben is a great teacher he explains things great but if you aren't in class on time and he takes roll, it is an absence no ifs Ands or buts about it.

Mr. Cole is a well respected teacher, well skilled when it come to any kind of math. He will help you in anyway possible. a few things to remember be on time, take notes and may the force be with ya..

ben cole is a great teacher. well skilled physics teacher

In my time at BCCC, I have encountered several instructors who were very consistant at treating people inconsistantly. No such love with Ben Cole. Black,white,blue or brown, big Ben measures everyone with the same stick.He has a super WORKING knowledge of physics and presents it in laymans terms. Even helped me pass trig!!...lol. A true pro!!!

With the upmost respect. Ben is an excellent instructor and willing to go that extra mile to help ANY of his students suceed. Pay attention, take notes, and ask questions when the material isn't understood. Take it from me...turn in work and BE ON TIME!!!

One of the best teachers that I have ever had. He is willing to help you with any situation, most teachers could learn from this example. Schoolwork is challenging but that is the purpose.

Ben was a great teacher, took extra time if needed to help you learn. He is extremely fair to all students. Tough teacher, do your work!

Dude is awesome. This class wasn't the easiest, but it was a privelige to be taught by this man.

Mr. Ben cole is an awesome instructor is very smart highly intelligent I wish there were more like mr ben that taught the way he does he really does everything possible to help you understand the material being presented.

Great teacher, very helpful and if you are willing you will learn the material. He is a tough teacher to get an A in but it is possible.

I have diffently learned more an been confused more in my life after being in this class. A great teacher an really knows his stuff. only bad thing would be is he moves a little fast sometimes but overall a teacher who works to make you learn i would take another classes with him.

He know what he is talking about. He knows his stuff . I just think if you have a full time job and get off in the morning, you should now take this early in the morning. I will benefit you if you take it later in the day. I know I would. I would surely take him again when I 'm not tired.

One of the more challenging classes I have taken but well worth it. Never knew real everyday events as well as life revolves around physic.

Ben has a knack for teaching hard material to dumb students. Tests cover multiple chapters so you should keep older material fresh in your head. brush up on Trig before taking this class and be sure to read the assigned chapters as the tests quiz your knowledge of the material, not just your ability to solve problems. Doesn't play favorites.

Ben Cole is an extremely easy to talk to instructor. You can tell that he has true interest in the welfare of his students while also maintaining a strict discipline regarding the expectations that a course like this requires. He has a natural ability to "pull" the class into the subject of the day and participating as a team to figure things out.

Great teacher help full must study hard to do good

Very good at explaining complex Physics issues. Always ready to answer any questions.

He gives you all the information that is needed. Power points are great however I think using the book to teach the chapters would be benefical. Great instructor keeps it interesting .

Ben is an excellent instructor and will help you in anyway possible. Being an older student and working full time, Ben has made himself available to me in order to ask questions to get a better understanding of the material. Has a very natural teaching ability. Be prepared to read and take notes. Hybrid.

Ben is a great teacher, other than you could be getting car-jacked, and that was your reason for being late, he would still mark you as being absent. But other than that, he's a good teacher.

You must work for it, but do all your work and study and you will be just fine.

The class is doable, but you have to put in the work. Attendance check varies per day.

Really good teacher, makes it fun, if you put forth the effort you'll make it but he won't hold your hand...

Mr. Cole is a firm, but fair instructor. He goes out of his way to help his students even if the course is a not course that he teaching. Enjoyed being taught by him. The class was a Hybrid class.

He is a good teacher and cares about his students, wants to see everyone succeed, but he will not just give you the grade.

hard class was fun as an 8:00 class can be though

section 40, night class, really have to pay attention and understand what you are doing before you move onto the next objective. If offered at night again, get ready, cause this will be extremely tough!

Me. Cole is an excellent teacher willing to go the extra mile to help as long as you try. At night it's extremely fast paced and if you don't ask questions then you're out of luck.

Ben breaks it down as good as it can get, if you don't put in the time your grade will reflect it hybrid

Mr. Ben Cole is an awesome teacher and extremely smart. His class is a Challenging but fair. Mr. Cole moves through the chapters extremely fast though not because of him personally but the school or state has quota on how many chapters have to be taught in a semester so he has to move quickly. Its a tough class but its physics its supposed to be!

Attendance is vital to passing the class as well as taking notes. The key to passing this class is to engulf yourself in the material right from the start and you'll do fine. Dedicate 2-3 hours out of class studying for each hour you spend in class and you'll do fine. Procrastination will hurt you so be warned. Very knowlegable instructor overall.

good teacher, really knows a lot about physics

Ben Cole is a great teacher. During class time he is not your friend but a solid teacher. Attendance does matter to him as well as effort. After class you will find a more laid back man with a lot of knowledge to boot. Ben really knows his stuff, and not just in physics. I highly recommend him for all classes he teaches.

Great teacher and knows his stuff. Will help you anyway he can with questions or if you don't understand something.

Ben Cole is a good teacher who knows the material, as long as you can stay focused and be on time you should be fine. He'll work with you as long as your working with him but like I said don't be late and be sure to pay attention at all times

Knows the subject very well, but class moves extremely fast in my opinion. I understand that has to move fast, but I feel like the school should provide a good tutor for a class that is as challenging as this one. No help outside of class unless you find it elsewhere.

A great teacher. Can be monotone and is a bit fast when going over things, but he is fine with slowing down and explaining when asked questions. I wish more math teachers were like him, with his method of explaining every step and and requiring written homework so that he knows you understand it. This class helped my math skills a lot.

Material is not that tough after Ben explains it as well as he does. Sometimes quick but answers any questions you have. Attendance and turning work in on time is very important. Always use the resources Ben lets you use especially on tests.

Good teacher. Tests are important and so is attendance. Doesn't take any excuses about work or being on time.

He's a cool cat, like Mr. Cole gets fast when he gets into a topic but if you need him to slow down he will. Many laughs have been shared in class as long as you do your work he wont have a problem with you.

The course takes a lot of homework. Make sure you have a good foundation of basic math. Be on time attendance matters. If you put in the hard work and pay attention you should pass

Ben is a real good guy not only to be around but a great instructor!!! one thing to do is never be late and make sure to do your homework. PHY-131 was a hard class but was a good time!

Solid class just can't get behind or its hard to catch up.

Ben is a good guy. You have to attend and pay attention in his class to not fall behind. Do not be late. He can be tough, but he isn't unfair.

One of the smartest teachers I have ever had. Expects you to work hard and be prepared to do plenty of homework. Overall he's a good teacher

You need to put in the work if you want to learn and pass this class, if you're a slacker you will not do well. Ben knows his stuff and will work with you until you understand it.

Ben cole is a good instructor. He goes through the material kinda fast but he will explain it to you and help you if you need it.

Ben is a excellent teacher and explains things that you could understand. Never had a problem with how he teaches or his lecture. All around great guy and helps you with any problems you have.

Mr. cole is an excellent teacher. He goes over all of the material and explains well. He is the man when it comes to electrical, he knows it all! Dont skip class or be late to class and make sure to participate in class! Most importantly dont be the slacker of your class! Do you work and he will look out for you!

Mr. Cole is an awesome teacher. He is very knowledgeable in the electrical and physics field. He is upfront and fair about grades and attendance. If you put in the effort, you will pass without a problem.

Mr. Cole is an amazing, very knowledgeable teacher. You are given nothing, you have to earn it , which is the way it should be. If you want to learn, give all you got, and became successful, Mr. Cole is the teacher for you. If you want to be lazy, and want to slide by well keep sliding, because I promise you will fail.

He loves to make jokes, and can sometimes come off as a bully, but he never means to. Always creative and open to feedback, he also has a tendency to go on tangents and tell stories. But he really knows the material! He doesn't cover your papers in "F"s, but he always emphasizes how it's your own fault. However, he does admit when he's wrong.

Ben Is a good teacher

Ben is a good broski but seriouisly i would not be late.

Ben Cole's is a Great Professor

Best teacher I've ever had!

One of those perfectionist people. For the most part, he knows the subjects well. The tests are usually harder than the content of the course. Grades are not easily available at all times. Have to work for your grade.

Pay attention and do your homework!

Don't miss a day, you'll never catch up.

I enjoyed this class very much. Be on time and do your hw, and you'll pass.

Good dude, Tough teacher. If you're late, he will burn your butt. Show up at 7:50 and you'll be fine.

I have Mr. Ben's class 4 days a week. Every morning I would say "Good morning, Mr. Ben!" to Mr. Ben and 1 out of those 4 days he would quietly respond "ello." My advice to anyone who wants or has to take this class would be to learn how to properly use your Ti-89 calculator, read over chapters/power points, use your head before asking a question.

The FitnessGram Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. In my terms, Ben Cole is a decent instructor that drives a Jeep.

Mr. Cole is a challenging but good professor. The information taught in class is very important so I would not recommend skipping. As long as you take the time to understand the homework and take notes/pay attention in class, you'll do fine on the tests. Mr. Cole really helps you see the logic behind physics and the formulas we use in class.

Professor Ben Cole has been very helpful with his teaching methods. I havent done well in the class but that has nothing to do with his teaching but just my lack of knowledge with trying to imagine some of the pictures in the problem. Regardless his teaching methods have helped.

Sometimes when I would ask Ben a question, he would act like he didn't hear me at all. When he does this, I always assume that my question was so unintelligent enough that he would let me know it was by not saying a thing.

I believe the class time should be extended to 2 hours long. I do not have to mental ability to process everything Ben teaches us in just 50 minutes.

The man is a genius.

Mr. Cole is a mandatory teacher for the electrical course, but he is very knowledgable in every class he teaches. Once you've gotten to the point where you should know something yourself, he expects you to answer his questions without sounding like you're asking him if you are corrrect. He's stern, but he comes with a sense of humor.

He is a great teacher and can explain things very well in a way you can understand it. Just make sure you keep up with your work.

Great teacher! If you do not show up for class, you will struggle unless you are a genius.

Mr Ben lets you use a whole piece of paper for the final or your 4 note cards that you used on previous tests.

Mr Ben is a great teacher and gives you the materials you need in order to exceed.

If you actually use the book and power points, take notes, rewrite problems, and commit time to it, the class can be an easy A.

Be prepared to not miss a class because Mr Ben never misses class. He goes over 1 to 2 power points in a class period, giving you all kinds of hints, examples, and problem solving methods that will make it easier for you to understand.

Knows the material very well

If you listen, you should do well.

Know your stuff before you take this class.

He buys biscuits for those who get the answers correctly during class.

Don't plan on class ever being canceled.

B-Be ready to study E-Everything involves physics N-Never not study I-It's a difficult class S-Solid teacher A-Acceleration is not velocity J-Just remember formulas A-Acknowledges students questions C-Cares sometimes but not really at all K-Kind of funny A-Answers back to emails 47 hours later S-Sets the knowledge bar high S-Study even more

Overall a pretty cool class. He knows the topic extremely well. Class moves at a pretty fast rate. Three things you need to know: Don't be late unless you like gambling with your attendance, PAY ATTENTION, and learn to deal with an instructor that doesn't mind telling you exactly how it is.

I would not recommend missing or being late for this class. Ben knows the subject really well and is very straight forward about everything. As long as you stay focused and do your work you will be fine.

The class will be difficult at first. Do not bother taking notes during class, he goes through power points too quickly, might need to use online resources outside of class if you are struggling to study with the textbook.

He is smart and fast sometimes the powerpoint are fast but when we go over problems it is well worked and gives many examples. recommend 100%

Niceee

You earn what you get in this class. If you don't skip, listen during the lectures, and put time in to doing your homework you will pass. Ben is a good teacher and will help you out if you got questions.

This class is one of the most difficult that I have ever had, but I have enjoyed it. Ben does not make the class easy, but he will help you succeed if you ask for help. He will give you an absence if you are one minute late if he is ready to take attendance. He gives you a good understanding of the material, and he is very educated in the subject.

Probably one of the best professors I've had in my college experience. The class is pretty fun if you like banter throughout which is one reason I could probably bear this class.

Ben Cole is a SOLID teacher! He knows his stuff and if something throws him for a loop, he'll figure it out and get back to you. Passionate about his work. I like that he tries to best explain things in real world scenarios which can aid students in better understanding the material. Answer choices on test can be poorly worded, adding confusion.

Good teacher but is very particular about how he wants work completed. If you copy the math and information exactly how he does then you can be successful. Very test heavy in terms of weight but more HW than tests overall. Not a bad class but if you miss class, you will not pass.

Great at teaching students what they need to learn, and the best ways to do it.

Great instructor, he's really passionate about what he teaches. The class sounds difficult, but he makes it look easy. I wouldn't recommend missing days cause you will not pass.

Pay attention in class

He is a great professor and you will learn many things while attending this course.

He is passionate about what he teaches. So I would not recommend missing any days because you might miss something. Also, arrive at the class before the class starts because when he starts taking attendance, and you're not in the class, he will give you an absence for your attendance that day.

Great class

Physics is a very hard class, but Ben explains his work so well that he makes it a lot easier to understand. He gives good presentations to write notes down for upcoming tests.

Very hard on you but a great teacher because that is what you need to get better.

He's got me struggling over here at ECU :D

He was a great teacher he does a very good job explaining each and every problem. If you are confused he will explain it until you get it. If he has already took attendance and you walk in that is an absence.

The weight of tests be too much. It be unfair yo.

Being late to class is like playing rushing roulette with your attendance grade. Overall, Mr. Cole is a great Physics instructor who knows how to use analogies to help someone who isn't familiar with the basics of the curriculum.

Eventually, the nerds and the geeks will have their day.

Needs to hand tests back permanently. Hard to study what you got wrong, when you hand them back up. Knows his stuff and a solid teacher. Needs to ease up on the way course work is weighted.

Work hard, apply yourself, and Ben will handle the rest.

Good teacher with strict standards. Very clear about everything he speaks on. Overall very fair teacher

Tough but fair prof. Strict on attendance, but clearly explains concepts. The work is weighted heavily, so stay on top of it. Unstuckstudy was a lifesaver for test prep.

Hard ass grader have to earn your grade but he teaches the class well.the book is hard to find.Over all the class isn't that bad I like learning about physics just wish I didn't have a grade

Ben is a great professor if you can handle him. He is straight to the point with little care for fooling around in class. If you can't keep up with him and understand what he is teaching, your going to be stuck struggling for the entire class.

Hard teacher but will explain any questions. Lots of work and don't get to far backed up with work or it will be hard to get back on track.

High standards and he doesn't cut anybody any slack. He knows his stuff and is very good at teaching it and answering/explaining any question you have in a variety of ways until you understand it. Definitely not one who is going to let you coast through with little to no effort so be ready to work hard.

He won't hold your hand so you need to be on your toes when taking his class. Organization and good note taking is key. He is upfront how the class will go and what you can do to be prepared for test. The rest is up to you.

He knows his stuff. Very strict you will never have to worry about any distractions. Make sure to be on time. He is not here to baby anyone. Welcome to the real world kids.

Make sure to do your part. Ben will answer any questions you have and will go over all the material you need for this course. Don't be late after he takes roll you will be counted absent no matter what time you make it in.

Good at teaching the subject and uses good examples for problems. Subject requires quite a bit of studying for tests and homework. Does not take laziness

Professor treats everyone the same, as an adult and employee. Requires you to do the work and show up on time. Doesn't take excuses. You're responsible for being there and doing your work. Knowledgeable of material and presents in down to earth terms. Not dull during lecture.

Professor Cole loves physics and wants the students to do so as well. He uses everyday analogies to show how physics is all around. He uses the same step-by-step approach to all problem solving. If the student uses the same method, success should follow. Excellent instructor!

I would 100% recommend taking this class even though it's tough. Ben is great at making the work clear and is very helpful. You must be willing to put some time into the work to understand.

Ben Cole is a hard but is fun. He challenges the class to be the best & sees things in us that we don't even see in ourselves. If you need help, he will stop to make sure you understand the material in class or you can stop by his office to ask questions. Yes, he is a hard instructor, but you will know something at the end of class and semester.

Overall, great class. Just make sure to show up for all the lectures and review so you don't miss anything.

Great professor, is very strict with work and attendance just make sure to show up on time and do the work.
