Dr. Wiggins is amazing! He presents even difficult material in lecture very clearly, with a good sense of humor. He is very good at giving you the concepts and tools you need to complete the assignments. His tests are fair, and he gives great feedback. He is very helpful during office hours and will take the time to make sure you learn!
Loved this class!
Honestly he is the best professor I have ever had. He understands a students life and is willing to work with that.
This was by far one of my favorite science courses taken at SUU. Wiggins makes the class very enjoyable. He is very understanding and always able to help his students.
Brandon is great! The best compliment I can give him is he hasn't forgotten what it's like to be a student. He works with you and he wants you to succeed.
Great teacher, does everything he can to help you get the grade you want. Fair grader and extra credit opportunities
Professor Wiggins is all about helping EVERY student get a great grade. He makes lecture fun and easy. Gives help on HW, gives practice tests before each test and makes the material, which could be difficult, very easy. There are daily homework and weekly quizzes, but these are not stressful at all. Wonderful professor! Take physics with Wiggins!
He is very caring about us as students and very passionate about what he does. He understands what we are going through as students and what our goals are and helps us to reach them. He is always available outside of class and also willing to help.
Exciting lectures and great explanation of material!
Like any math class, there is a ton of homework in this class and if you don't keep up on it you will fall behind. He is very reasonable and willing to work with students if they are having issues though. He's very approachable and helpful outside of class, and he helps you understand material very well. Cant miss lectures! They're awesome though.
Professor Wiggins is my favorite professor. His lectures are filled with awesome demonstrations, and he uses his humor to his advantage. He is very nerdy, knows it, accepts it, and uses it to make the class fun. He knows how to explain the material in a clear and concise manner. I would highly recommend him to everyone, even non pre-med students.
I feel like I understand his jokes more than other students and it makes me sad because I want everyone to enjoy being around Brandon as much as I do. There are lots of demonstrations that make understanding easier. Homework is focused on what we talked about that day and it really helps solidify the knowledge necessary to do well in this course.
Professor Wiggins is a great teacher who works with students. He makes sure you understand the material and grades fairly. His tests are easy. Weekly homework is good for studying.
Brandon does a great job making lectures entertaining and reflective of his exams. However the homework does not go well with the lecture or prepare me well for the test. The homework is often very time consuming and seems pointless and unrelated to his tests and quizzes.
Weekly quizzes are simple and often times take home or done as a group. He is freaking funny and always has demonstration in lectures. Homework is given daily but it never takes too long. Exams are representative of what he teaches. He is always willing to help you in office hours and is understanding when issues arise. He cares for his students.
Professor Wiggins is amazing! One of the best professors at SUU. Gives lots of help for exams-does tutoring hours, practice tests, quizzes and homework. Very lenient and understanding with turning in assignments, and also teaches the lab and helps students understand concepts. Does lots of demos and makes class super fun. Definitely recommend!
Attend all of the lectures, you'll get lost if you don't. Do the homework. Provides practice tests before major tests that help a lot. Explains material well. Does a lot of demos.
Very good professor because he cares about the students and tries hard to prepare you for major entrance exams (MCAT,DAT, etc). I would highly recommend him for this class.
He really gets to know his students. I haven't taken physics in 4 years and I am doing fine in his class. He makes everything applicable and is flexible. I like his teaching style and the way he tells jokes.
He is awesome professor. You will get confidence about physics if you learn Physics from him.
Good balance between learning a lot and not having a lot of busy work. I wish more professors would do this.
Dr. Wiggins is a phenomenal professor. He takes a difficult subject matter and breaks it down so that it is understandable. He understands that we have classes other than his and thus homework and tests are scheduled accordingly.
If he wasnt teaching this class i would have dropped out long ago. Definitely one of the best professors on campus.
He is one of the best professors at SUU. He truly cares about the students and wants them to succeed.
He is a great professor. He really cares about the success of his students and he structures his class around his students. He prepares you for your tests by actually testing you on what he teaches. The homework problems don't always match the lecture but they are doable and help your grade. He is new and improving his lectures. He cares.
Professor Wiggins lectures are always interesting and fun! He puts extra effort into demos and other aids to teach the students. He is a great professor.
One of the best professors on campus, he is a new/younger professor so he is a little more connected to his students' needs and schedules which is awesome! He acknowledges the fact that most of us are not going to be physicists and teaches the class accordingly. Practice tests are very "test-like" and he mixes things up on the weekly quizzes.
Very fair when grading. He still remembers the perspective of the students and because of that he is very relatable and understanding Andy realistic in his expectations. Funny. Constantly makes jokes and doesn't take himself too seriously. The course is still tough because the subject matter requires a lot of work.
Professor Wiggins understands that students don't often understand and he also understands that we all have lives outside of class. Even though the material can be difficult, professor Wiggins is easy to work with and always willing to help.
Wiggins is an excellent physics professor. He works to make class interesting and does very frequent demos. He is pretty fair on grading and genuinely cares about his students.
He is an amazing professor that helps you apply the material. He makes learning fun and interesting.
You don't want to miss out on class, may miss an awesome TRAILER and or a MIND BLOWING demonstration. If you need help ask him he is really good about one on one tutoring.
Wiggins was a great professor. Though physics itself was hard & not an enjoyable subject, Wiggins made it much more tolerable & understandable. He made due dates & tests very doable. He understood how busy college students were & made sure to not drown us in misery. Homework about every night but only due once a week. Was great about outside help.
Dr. Wiggins, who has asked his students to call him by either his first or last name, is an absolutely fantastic teacher. We have an object lesson everyday in class which usually involves combustion!!:) Our very first day, we were covering easy topics such as displacement. To teach this, he used analogies such as as hobbit traveling to Mordor.
Maybe my favorite professor at this college. He really cares about student success and is great at explaining concepts. I actually named my dog "wiggins" after taking this course because I really liked it.
I loved this class and am loving it now
He's a great professor, the lecture relates to the homework and he is accessible outside of class.
Wiggins is my favorite professor at SUU. His entire teaching style is built off of fairness. He won't try and trick you, and prepares you well for the tests. He's quirky and funny and his lectures are very demo heavy which makes them interesting. He cares about you. If I had any complaint its that he sometimes can be a tiny bit scatterbrained.
Wiggins is very helpful and is very understanding if you go to him with questions on the homework or on the quizzes. He makes lectures interesting by making funny comments and doing lots of demonstrations. He understands that his students have other classes and he takes that into consideration.
He sometimes is unclear on some points he is lecturing on, but he does a lot of really cool examples for the class. There's a moderate amount of homework but he does examples on the board during class, including a few from the homework which was extremely helpful. He makes us laugh, which is important for a class like physics, which can get boring.
I really like Prof Wiggins. He likes making lectures enjoyable by using humor throughout and by using interesting demos. He sometimes isn't very clear when he lectures. But he is very willing to work with you and answer your specific questions if you visit him during office hours. He is very fair and actually cares about his students' success.
Dr. Wiggins is a fantastic professor. He is totally fair and really cares about students. I gave the class an easier rating, but it may not be because of the teacher but because of the material - for me at least. He is one of the nicest and most reasonable professors at SUU, and he is nearly brand new. I would take him for any class.
Brandon is an awesome guy and one of the best professors I have had here at SUU. He really cares about your success and wants you to succeed in his class. His biggest thing is for us to learn the concepts. He is a super funny guy, and has the best in class demonstrations to make lecture more enjoyable. Definitely worth taking a class from him!
He is a funny guy and down to earth. He relates to students and finds ways for you to learn the material. His weekly quizzes keep you on your toes, but in a great way!
I loved this class. I took the first section (physics 2010) a few years ago from the guy that wiggins replaced. Wiggins is WAY better. His movie trailers are awesome. He cares about the class. He is fair and keeps the material relevent.
Dr. Wiggins is by far the best physics professor at SUU. He teaches and explains tough material really well, preparing you for the exams and homework that he gives. He's always willing to give extra help outside of class by answering question related and unrelated to physics. He really cares for his students and wants them to be successful.
I really felt like he made complex concepts easy to understand and work with. He makes class entertaining with demos, which I really liked. He is very approachable outside of class and is willing to help with homework. Overall, he is definitely one of my favorite professors at SUU.
Dr. Wiggins really cares about the students he is teaching. He wants them to succeed. He bends over backwards to do all he can to get them to understand the material. Last, he doesn't make the material harder just for the sake of making it harder. He lets you know what you need to know and gives practice take home tests for plenty of practice.
Brandon Wiggins is one of the most realistic professors that i have ever had. He really cares about the success of the students and realizes that they aren't just taking his one class in a given semester. He teaches clearly and uses a lot of demonstrations to teach concepts. The material is pretty tough, but he makes it very doable!
Wiggins is an awesome professor. He knows people have other classes that they may prioritize more, so he tries to keep that in mind while still teaching the most important parts of the class. He does really cool demos almost everyday to demonstrate the concepts he is teaching and he always comes to class with a good sense of humor. Highly rec'd.
Professor Wiggins is one of the best professor that I have. He is very caring and he wants his students to succeed - plus he's hilarious! What I appreciated the most was that he doesn't make his course harder than it has to be.
Professor Wiggins is the man. He has taught me so much about physics and how it applies to real world scenarios.
Brandon is by far my favorite teacher at SUU. Super funny and fair. He would do anything for his students. Physics isn't my favorite course but Brandon does a great job of keeping you interested.
B-Wiggs is an awesome professor who really cares about you. He also has not forgotten what it is like to be a student, so he is very understanding. The best thing about him is that h does not make the class harder than it needs to be. He knows it is a difficult class, and is always willing to help. I would recommend him every single time!
P-Wiggy is hands down the best professor I have had yet. He remembers what it is like to be a student and is very relatable. Lectures are very entertaining and involve demos almost everyday. When he wears the space hoodie to class, you know it is going to be a good lecture.
Anyone taking physics at SUU is doing themselves a disservice if they don't take this class from Brandon. He clearly cares about his students success as well as the course material. He is real with you about what matters long term and makes sure that you have the tools you need to do well in his class and on standardized exams. 10/10
Really good professor. Willing to help where he can. He understands what it's like to be a student. Lectures are awesome
He makes an otherwise boring and difficult subject fun and interesting. :)
I really have loved Brandon's class. He has really fun lectures. He loves using demonstrations and doing lots of visual stuff. He is one of the funniest professors I have met. I have really loved his class and would recommend taking physics from him.
Love this guy!!
This guy makes Physics fun! Oh and he's pretty entertaining.
Give this guy a raise!! He makes physics fun and enjoyable. He focuses on what is important, however he expects you to learn and practice things on your own. He is the nicest human being ever and will do anything to help his students. Grading scales are fair, and homework is given everyday after class. Quizzes are scheduled and relevant.
I have never seen a better 1st year teacher. He was awesome and really understood students.
He gives great lectures, and is willing to work with you as much you need until you get it
Entertaining and kept me awake atb7 a.m.
Dr. Wiggins made a class at 7:00 AM worth coming to.
The quizzes are usually take home or group work. He is really good about giving feedback and works well with students during office hours.
Really good to work with. Very willing to help students and is lenient on late work. I would take it again from this guy.
Professor Wiggins was by far the most considerate Professor that I had this semester. He is extremely caring and even more considerate about your life as a student.
Professor Wiggins is a phenomenal professor who cares about the success of his students. He loves feedback about how the class is going and depending on the difficult time of the course material he will take the time to slow down and clarify.
He likes to give a lot of demos. Most of them are quite awesome. Their main purpose is to keep us awake since the class was at 7 am.
Professor Wiggins is a very good professor. Physics itself is a hard subject so expect to work and come to class or it will be very difficult. However, Professor Wiggins makes it worth your while to come to class with a lot of demonstrations and simply explained material. Hes very willing to help during and outside of class.
Wiggins is a fantastic professor. It's a cliche to say, he makes learning fun, but in all honesty he does. Physics can be an inherently boring and difficult, but his apparent love for the subject and entertaining teaching style makes the class enjoyable and entertaining and the subject easier to understand.
He made 7 am physics easy to want to get out of bed. He gave you enough homework so You learned the material but not to much where you spent hours on it. Definitely do his practice tests before taking the actual exam.
Professor Wiggons is a very excellent teacher. You can tell that he really like what he does
He is hilarious. There is always something new. He teaches with a lot of demos and tries to make lecture fun and exciting.
Fair on grades. Explains material well. Cool demonstrations.
Explains concepts very clearly in a way that is easy to understand. Provides practice exams to help you adequately prepare for the unit exams. He tries to do demos and format lectures in a way to keep you engaged.
Professor Wiggins is a great teacher! Even though class was at 7 a.m. his lectures were entertaining and worth waking up for. Overall, I would highly recommend taking physics from this professor.
He is a great professor. Very accessable outside of class and makes the subject fun! He is willing to work with you and to change the course to make it the best it can be. I wouldn't take this class from anyone but him.
His lectures are easy to follow. He also has lots of good feedback on what to expect on the test, so you always feel ready for it.
He is a professor who really cares about you and your grade. He helps you to succeed. I did have to work hard and stay up-to-date with my homework, but all of that hard work paid off in the end.
Dr. Wiggins is one of the best professors I have ever had. He makes a hard subject manageable and understands what it's like to be a student. He makes notes for class material so you don't spend all your time writing and has lots of fun demos. Extremely flexible, kind, and understanding. If you have to take Phys 2010, 100% take it from him!
Taking physics from anyone but professor Wiggins doesn't make sense. There is a reason he is the top rated professor here. He genuinely cares about his students and wants them to learn the material. I took this class at 7 AM which was a terrible decision but never fell asleep because of his charismatic teaching style. Overall would take again!!
Professor Wiggins is one of the most helpful and understanding professors Ive ever had. You can tell he really cares about his students and their learning. Great professor and I would recommend him to anyone!
He was a great teacher.
Super great teacher that loves demos. Made physics exciting and I wanted to ne in class even at seven am. Also really helpful during office hours.
Good class. Great teacher
Professor Wiggins is a younger professor, very smart but humble about it. He makes class fun so it's fun to be there and learn. He is very understanding and fair. He requires you to put time in the course and learn but is always will to help. Honestly, he is one of the best teachers I've had and I'm in my senior year.
He was a great professor to have at 7 in the morning. His demonstrations are interesting and help increase understanding and alertness at that time. I look forward to taking part two next semester with him.
A great professor! He is really fun and cares about his students!
He is a great teacher! He goes over the top to make sure students are learning. He provides material to help students learn and is always changing how he does things to better accommodate learning and success in his class! One of the best teachers on campus hands down!
He made it fun and only requires that you know the material at a basic level.
Very clear on what he wants you to know for the test and doesn't have tricky questions. Also very funny.
Professor Wiggins made a 7am class not only bearable but fun and engaging. He has the best sense of humor of anyone I've ever met. He structures the course around what students really need to succeed. He gives wonderful feedback and is awesome at looking for and receiving feedback himself. Definitely one of the best professors I have ever had!
Dr. Wiggins is the best! He is realistic with his expectations with students. You could probably pass without going to class if you read the book, but his lectures are awesome and more entertaining and clear than the book. It is well worth your time to go to class. Nothing is a surprise and he is willing to work with you if you're struggling.
This dude is funny. Always does demos in class and works out lots of problems. If your not a whiz kid like me the class will be difficult but he is always there to help you succeed.
Class was fun and entertaining and he gives feedback quickly.
Really loved the class. Even though I never showed up. Still got a B
The tests were difficult but I think that had more to do with the subject matter being difficult rather than Dr. Wiggins making it unnecessarily difficult. Dr. Wiggins takes a difficult class and explains everything well enough to have everyone pass.
Great guy! Makes it entertaining. Lots of good demonstrations. Make sure to do homework as you go instead of saving it all for the end.
Excellent professor and excellent human being. Would recommend a million times over!!
so funny he grades pretty easy great class
He really is a great professor that makes physics fun.
Makes physics fun
Wiggins is a great professor and gives intriguing lectures. He is kind of scrambled though, and if you go into his office hours his help isnt especially helpful.
Such a great professor. Very knowledgeable and it shows because he makes a difficult subject like physics Easy to understand. He wants all his students to succeed and doesnt think his class should be a dream killer.
Sweet demos that he brings to class in his cool blue wagon. Really helpful during office hours.
Sometimes tough to find during office hours, but a really great professor who gives lots of demos during lecture. He's pretty friendly and always willing to offer help, and explains things in a very simple way.
He gives awesome lectures!
Funny but well prepared professor. He cares a lot about his students and class isn't that hard, if you follow his rules. Wish I was taking physic 2 to have him again
Professor Wiggins is one of my favorite professors I've ever had. He keeps ledgers interesting and entertaining. He is always willing to work with and help you anyway he can. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!
Brandon is a great professor, he really cares about physics and makes learning it much easier and interesting. He in class demos make coming to class worth it.
Tests are easy, fair grader. Moves very slow, easy to miss class and catch up. Textbook we use doesnt match the things we learn in class
It is so nice to have a class where you can sit back relax and laugh your head off. I spent one hour a week on homework and one hour before a test preparing. It is a easy A and you learn some great stuff.
He make sure the classes have every tool they will need to prep them for the quiz
Professor Wiggins is by far my favorite professor on campus. He is so kind and caring, he really wants you to do well. His lectures are very entertaining and he is the funniest guy on campus. Totally would take again!!!
Professor Wiggins is a great professor. His lectures were interesting and he is hilarious. He also understands what its like being a student and will adjust the syllabus depending on what he feels the students need to succeed.
Professor Wiggins is a great teacher. He keeps his lectures interesting by doing fun demos. His tests are fairly different from the textbook homework which made things difficult. Although, he does give a practice test that is VERY helpful
He is a very smart man, but he will make physics as easy as he can. If you have questions go talk to him he will help you as much as he can. Do his practice test they will save you on his exams.
He schedules enough homework to make sure that we are keeping up with the class but he doesnt make them ridiculously hard. The tests are very related to the practice test. If you do the homework and the practice test, this class is wonderful. Plus the demos and lecture are really fun.
Dr. Wiggins is interested in your success as a student. He cares about all of his students and teaches in a way that is so clear, a grade-school student could understand. Definitely take him for any class you need to, you will learn the material you need on a fundamental level. Also, he has the most amazing demos.
Great class
Professor Wiggins makes challenging subject matter seem very very simple which is truly the hallmark of a great teacher. His study guides and self-designed homework problems prepare you very well for the test. The only critique I have is that I wish he were in his office more often because he is a lot of fun and a very great professor!
Wiggins is awesome. He understands what it is like to be a student and it shows in the way his classes are set up and in the way he teaches.
He is awesome. Very calm and super nice. He is incredibly intelligent in what he teaches and is always open to ideas on how to teach better.
Professor Wiggins is easily the best professor Ive had at SUU. His lectures are always interesting and he keeps you entertained the whole time. He understands the subject matter and explains everything in an easy to understand way. He is a thoughtful caring professor who wants his students to do well
He actually made physics my favorite course this semester. He provide details great experiments in class to tie in what we are learning. He really understands that college students have a lot on our plates and he makes sure to not be too much of a burden with class work.
Loved his class and the lectures were so much fun! The exams were pretty easy as long as you put forth the effort to study and learn.
I'm terrible at physics but Brandon did a great job of making it understandable. He's one of the best people you will ever meet. Take physics from him, you won't regret it.
Of all of the professors I have ever had here at SUU Brandon Wiggins is by far the best. He literally makes me laugh every single day and he has thee best lectures than any other professor. He works really well with his students and he is a great guy. I would take this class from him again in a heartbeat and his class is literally thee best!
Dr. Wiggins is a very aprroachable professor. It is very easy to tell that he cares about your success . He has interesting lectures, but sometimes the questions on his tests are a little messy.
I thoroughly enjoyed this class!! Prof. Wiggins is awesome, he genuinely enjoys teaching and is extremely knowledgeable. He is very approachable and almost always available out of class. Everyone I know who is needing to take physics, I am definitely recommending Brandon.
Great instructor.
This class was interesting to me, and he made the class make sence. He is a good teacher, and I would take another class from him.
he's an awesome professor ever. if i have any chance to take any class i will take with him.
Great professor. Makes hard concept fairly easy and understandable. Ended the class with an A because I visit him when I needed help. 13/10 great professor
Brandon is all of the tags I selected and many more. I rated his class as an easy A not necessarily because the material is easy, but because his style and methods of teaching make the material painfully clear. He is absolutely brilliant and a true genius, while also being kind and humble, a quite aberrant combination to be found in academics.
Brandon is actually human. Like a real professor with human tendencies and feelings. He teaches the basics very well and gives great feedback on quizzes and homework so you know what you are doing for the tests. The one downside i had was it was difficult for me to get a hold of him outside of class. But that wasnt to big of a deal.
Always willing to take time to individually help you if you need it.
His class is fun and exciting. One of the only classes i have no trouble paying attention in. I would highly recommend taking physics from him. he makes things simple and straight forward!
Prof wiggins is excellent. Think about your most caring professor you've had and then times that by 10 and you've got yourself a professor Wiggins. Definetly love the course, love the professor and love the material.
Excellent professor in my opinion. Made the lectures entertaining and simple to understand. I appreciated the use of demonstrations and practicing relevant problems together in class. Easy to talk to and genuinely wants you to succeed.
Professor Wiggins does a great job of teaching the course material in a simple and understandable way. He is hilarious and makes every lecture entertaining.
He has demonstrations in class which are nice to have. He also is very easy to work with. Homework can take awhile if you dont do it daily.
Professor wiggins was able to keep the majority of our class coming and entertained at 7 am throughout this semester. I think that, in and of itself, says a lot about his professional capabilities. He is very reasonable and approachable. I have come to find out I do not enjoy physics, however, professor wiggins makes this course very manageable.
You need to study, but not a ton. He's a great guy, and really wants you to succeed.
Prof. Wiggins is the man. He is an absolute genius and is everything that you want from an SUU professor. Constantly doing applicable/interesting demonstrations in class. He has a great sense of humor and is a real person. Teaches the important stuff but doesn't get lost in the details. One of my favorites here at SUU.
Very fair and willing to work with students. Lectures are helpful and entertaining, but not the end of the world if you miss a couple.
Dr. Wiggins is great. After having graduated I have concluded that he was my favorite professor at SUU out of all the classes that I took. He tells you exactly what you need to know, and he doesn't try to trick you. Highly recommend.
Brandon is incredible. He is fun, engaging, and brilliant. He also gives lots of extra credit. He is easily the most caring professor I've ever had and is extremely helpful outside of class.
Dr. Wiggins is probably the most beloved professor on campus, but unfortunately, he didn't win me over. He is highly unorganized and scatterbrained, but no students seem to care because he pumps them full of extra credit. Good luck getting him to respond to your emails. Yes you should get an A, but I do not know physics like my grade says.
Prof Wiggins is a well respected prof on campus, but I never liked him as a teacher. He is friendly and willing to help, but a) will read but doesn't respond to emails, b) is highly unorganized and scatterbrained, c) gives tests that are far too difficult even when studied for and give too much homework for a class that students take with O-chem.
Professor Wiggins is the best professor I have had at SUU. He cares for each student and wants to see them succeed. He gives extra credit that helps boost your grade up so you aren't bogged down by one bad test. He also does frequent demonstrations in class that are not only educational but fun as well. I wish I could take another class from him!
He was incredibly entertaining and actually made physics fun. I would have hated physics if it weren't for him.
Wiggins is definitely one of the best professors at the university. His lectures are always engaging and he almost always brings a demonstration to class. He is very understanding when it comes to grading and how he makes his tests. He made physics fun and is very good at explaining it all.
The professor takes more liking towards entertainment than actual teaching. His organization was scatterbrained and but his textbook was organized. He does show a degree of unprofessionalism, but I do think thatll leave him with experience. He seemed to be trying to make friends rather than teach physics.
Prof. Wiggins is the best teacher at SUU. Once you take one of his classes, you will remember him forever. He does take a while to grade homework, exams, reply back to emails but he is such a cool guy that it doesn't matter.
The best teacher throughout covid, very understanding and wanted to help everyone with anything he could. He went as far as taking a class to see what we were dealing with and was very understanding with tests and never made us use proctorio. he made lectures fun and taught the material as well as trying to use demonstrations.
Every day he'll bring a demo to class to break up learning a little. He understands that we have other classes and plans accordingly. You have to put in effort to actually learn and benefit from class. He curves tests very generously so you don't have to worry to much about grades. He's a little scatterbrained too. Ask him to explain and he will.
He is such a nice guy and cares about his students success! Class is lecture based but he brings in a ton of demonstrations. He also provides you with his book that is easy to follow. He was so nice during office hours and you can even go up to him after class and ask him questions. Great, great, great professor he knows what he is doing.
Best professor I've had so far, extremly thoughtful and caring. Lectures are never boring, I would recomend over any other professor for physics.
I really enjoyed this class. Wiggins made physics fun and exciting while making the class manageable. Though I do believe I would've stepped out of this class with a greater understanding of physics if the course was a bit more rigorous, I appreciate his acknowledging how hard other engineering courses are and designing his accordingly.
Professor Wiggins is loved because he makes getting an A easy and provides entertainment in lectures. However, he is very unprofessional, never responds to emails and is very hard to get in touch with outside of lecture (though he often cancelled lectures as well). Never did what he said he was going to. Always about 6 weeks behind on grading.
Best teacher at SUU. Truly cares about students success and about how students are doing in general. Clearly a genius but teaches in a way that even complex topics are made simple. Funny and makes me want to watch lord of the rings. Highly Recommend.
I seriously loved this class. Most of the class was pretty easy, but I feel like I learned a lot. One thing was that the final was way harder then the exams so be aware of that (I got a low score on the final but still a pretty good grade). Even after all that I still think it is 100% worth taking this class.
Responds to email promptly. Uses free textbook. Would be nice to have feedback and prompt grading on discussions and labs. Nonetheless, is very receptive to lab ideas and willing to regrade tests if any inaccuracies are found. A major concern with the course is the need to validate the homework / quiz questions against latest textbook.
I have never had a professor that cares more about his students! I would highly recommend going to his office hours after tests, he is very willing to admit when he makes mistakes and he fixes them! AMAZING lectures! He does demos everyday to keep the class fun! Physics was not my favorite class but taking it from him was so worth it!
He is very funny and does great teaching, you will really like his lectures and I would 100% take him over any other physics professor.
wiggins is awesome. He tries is very hardest to prepare you well for each exam. his lectures are so helpful. the textbook is free, he wrote it and provides it for you. Physics is math heavy and sometimes can be harder content, and I think he sometimes feels like that is his fault, but he is awesome and so helpful. and so funny.
Dr. Wiggins is one of the best professors at SUU. He is a great lecturer and cares about his students. Physics is not an easy class to understand but he is awesome at explaining it! Sometimes he goes super fast in class but he is always willing to slow down. He does the most to make this class bearable and an added plus is he is so funny!
Wiggins is awesome because he's good at explaining tricky physics stuff in a way that makes sense. He loves what he teaches, and that makes learning from him super interesting. Plus, he's always there to help you out and support you in understanding everything about physics.
Professor Wiggins is awesome. He is a little spastic, so if thats not for you, I wouldnt take. I didnt mind it though- it made class fun. He was always willing to meet if you had questions and he gave me a ton of extra practice problems if I didnt feel confident after doing all the HW. Hes a great professor who cares for his students. 9.5/10!
His class was awesome! Probably one of the best professors I've had.
Wiggins is extremely nice and cares about every one of his students. I would recommend him for any beginner. The class might not be the hardest, but he gets his point across extremely well. His lectures and real world examples helped me a lot.
He's amazing!
Professor Wiggins cares about his students and is great at keeping things interesting. He made physics easy for me to learn and succeed in his class.
Best professor on campus.
Wiggins made learning physics as easy as it could be.
(I'm a bio major/pre-med) Professor Wiggins is one of the best professors I have ever had. I've never had a physics course before but that's not necessary with professor Wiggins. His textbook is free, he gives a fair curve to every exam, he is very competent on the material, and the guy is hilarious. He will push you, but you will pass.
Dr. Wiggins was a phenomenal professor. He cares about his students more than any other professor I have seen, and his enthusiasm for physics shows in each lecture / demo. Would absolutely recommend his class.
Dr. Wiggins was amazing! He broke the concepts down in such a way they were easy to understand! His test and quizzes were always fair! Overall one of the best professors I have ever had!
Dr. Wiggins was amazing! He was able to brake the concepts down in such a way that they were easy to understand! His test, although somewhat hard, and quizzes were always fair! Overall he is one of the best professors I've had at SUU and I would gladly take classes from him again!
Professor Wiggins is easily one of my favorite professors I have ever taken. He truly cares and is genuinely interested in the success of his students and provides plenty of resources to help his students be successful. He uses a textbook that he wrote that he gives you free access to and lectures and gives homework based off the textbook.
Highly recommend taking a class from Dr. Wiggins.
One of the best classes I have ever taken. Professor Wiggins cares for you as a person and wants to see you succeed. He provides demo's that correlate to what is being taught in class, so it makes it nice to see what you are learning be applied to a real life object. Highly recommend taking a class from him!
Prof Wiggins absolutely lives up to the hype. He tries so hard to make the lectures applicable and entertaining and conveys exactly what is expected of us on the tests. He is the most reasonable professor I have had and is still super knowledgeable and professional. Try to get into his class AT ALL COSTS
Professor Wiggins is the best! He utilizes a lot of really fun and interesting demonstrations to supplement what we are learning. You can tell he really cares about his students and their success. I did find it difficult to contact him through email so if you want a timely response, I would suggest talking to him in person.
Loved this Professor. Had super amazing lectures, it had to be one of my favorite classes in all of my time here. While attendance wasn't mandatory, there are quizzes that are done during some of them. But just come to lecture and you'll be set. Also he supplied his own textbook, which I really appreciated
Professor Wiggins is one of my favorite professors at SUU! He genuinely cares about his students and takes constructive criticism and feedback. He always brings fun demos to lighten up lectures and is super funny. He moves at a relatively fast pace but will slow down if you communicate that. Wouldn't take from anyone else!
One of the most genuine professors ever!
Do whatever you can to get into his class. I didn't pass college physics the first time and retook it with Dr. Wiggins. It's not that he is just easier or has lower expectations, he still tests on all the same material, he is just a far superior teacher, so the material seems easy. Relevant equations are always provided on tests.
Prof wiggins made lectures entertaining against all odds, was funny, related to students, and provided lectures that presented the material in a way that was easily learned. one of my favorite professors. would highly recommend.
He is honestly the best teacher Ive had here at SUU, he really knows his material and cares for his students. I would love coming to his class since it always made my day, Hes super funny and caring and more than willing to work with you. Ive had some great profesorrs but Wiggins takes the cake. Use all his study matierals and youll have the grade.
Professor Wiggins did lots of practice problems to make sure we all understood how to do the work and understand what we were doing. He broke the lectures up with demos often which was fun and helped me to focus better. He made sure to tell us that he was proud of us and we were doing a good job.
Best Professor at SUU, no cap.
Wiggins is an amazing professor. He truly does care about every student in his classes. If you go to class and do the homework you will be prepared for his exams. He also gives a practice exam before each test and it is very similar to the actual exam. He curves every test and gives other extra credit throughout the semester which is really nice.
Professor Wiggins is a gem! His fun demos and caring approach make lectures engaging. Utilize his study materials - including unstuck study - for the best shot at an awesome grade.
He's an angel. An angel on earth isw
Best professor at SUU. He explains everything extremely well and really cares about his students. Can make a very boring subject seem so interesting.
Solid professor, focuses on the principles behind physics and not excessive algebra. Lectures are enjoyable. Tests are representative of what you are taught. Pay attention, come to class, do the homework without using Chegg/Chat, and you'll be totally fine.
Dr. Wiggins is the BEST! He explains material very clearly and prepares you very well for things like the DAT and MCAT. He makes it very, very clear what will be on the tests and gives very useful practice tests. In my opinion, he is the kindest and smartest professor at SUU. Take his class!
Dr Wiggins made the class very fun while maintaining a great learning environment. He is incredibly caring toward his students and shows a genuine interest in their well-being and success. I would recommend doing all you can to get in his class for physics. One of the best professors at suu.
Great professor. Really fun and understanding, and really good at explaining things.
He makes Physics so much fun, he constantly brings demos in basically every class, he cares so much about what he is teaching. We were able to vote as a class on the next modules to cover, and he can tie the concepts into the most random and fun things
