I guess he is a decent professor if you ignore all the unnecessary weirdness and massive ego he brings. Overall, I would not take him. I do not think anybody in this class respects him as a professor or even as a person. Being in the presence of this man on a weekly basis was grueling and I would not wish an interaction with him on my worst enemy.

the worst professor at Bryant University. Save yourself the time and energy and do not take this man. You lose brain cells and years in life whilst taking his class. By far the worst professor and class i have ever had at Bryant University.

This dude constantly compared himself to Lebron and Rick Ross. Kinda weird but I guess he's alright other wise

If I found a time machine, the first thing I would do is go back in time and tell myself not to go anywhere near this class/ professor. Worst Professor I have ever had; get ready to do as much useless busy work in this class as you have in every other one combined. Whatever you do, do not take a class with this man unless absolutely necessary.

I've never wanted to drink so many beers for a 9:30 class until I came to this class. Gonna need it for when he calls you out in class. Wait until you have to read his chicken scratch when you try to either study for the exams or for the mountains of homework. So fun!

If you put "Professor you never want to have" into an AI generator, it would spit this guy out. hard tests, no direction given in class. more homework then the lawyers of the OJ case. DO NOT TAKE!!

No way the rest of these reviews are real...bots. If you've taken his class you'd know it's like passing a kidney stone. You never want to do that again!

definitely has a touch of the tism and it very passive aggressive. you don't learn anything besides how to do very specific problems that don't generalize to anything. one time told us we would have to do extra homework if he didn't know our names bc it was our fault. don't even get me started on how awful his lab is aswell

Dont take this class if you cant learn fast. he gives one practice problem per concept and then one homework practice problem. there is a decent amount of homework but do not skip it as these are the exact same questions that are on the exam. he's a nice guy who loves physics and is willing to help.

Buckle up - this class is a wild ride! The prof's quirks can be a lot, but using Unstuck ai and the free textbook helps make it manageable. Worth it if you engage with the material.

HW's are all random hypothetical problems he makes up (i.e., convert cheeseburgers to gasoline and calculate how far you could drive a 2010 BMW M3). good luck passing without AI, because that's the only thing that can understand his brain. Super nice guy but a bozo of a professor. Lot's of little quirks that reflect in how he grades. touch of tism
