DR. Rusu knows that physics is a difficult subject for most student,he makes physics easy, trust me and take his class. Don't be in a hurry and drop his class, his test is easy, straight from home work problems. VERY LITTLE HOMEWORK, if you can't do it, ask him to show you how to do it. Open book !!!

This class is mainly for people that are more interested in their grades than the actual subject. If an A matters to you, take this class. It's incredibly boring, but tests are open book/open notes, so the class itself is easy.

His class is somewhat easy, especially labs, but he is quite dry. He acted like he did not want to teach the class (the original prof never showed up), and assumed that we already knew things that we really did not. Now that I have him figured out I might take his class again but would prefer someone else.

Worst teacher EVER! He should be fired. . .tells you that everything is easy when it's not. And if you ask him to explain something, he says exactly what he said the first time and doesn't elaborate at all. Make sure you've taken trig before enrolling

Let me give you an advise about this professor, if you want to waste your time and money TAKE HIM, if not and you have a life then DON"T TAKE HIM. I took him and I dropped him after a week, because none of us would've undrestand him, he speaks unclearly. and gets mad when you ask him a question.whoever takes him GOOD LUCK

Dr Rusu is very knowledgeable and I enjoyed his class quite a lot. As he puts it, phys is hard but its not his fault. He is a very nice and very helpful professor if you put in the time and effort. I would highly recommend him and in fact will try to take other physics classes with him if possible. An A is very doable if you work for it.

Dr Rusu will work with you if you are interested in learning. The tests appear to be easy at first, but everyone has a little trick in it. Allows books and materials, stays overtime for tests, but he will not give you any instructions prior to tests. Take the class but expect to study hard, especially if your physics skills are a bit rusty.

I enjoyed Dr. Rusu's class. He's a good instructor, but I don't know if it was the 2hr 45min class, or him. But the class was booooooriiiiiing! Labs were awesome, and so is his teaching. Maybe it's me! I'm kinda bored of physics. And no Mandatory Homework. It does help though because they (or similar to them) are used in his tests.

Very knowledgeable with lots of real life experience with willingness to share examples from his personal PHYSIC ! To get the most out of the lectures, however, read the texbook & study guides IN ADVANCE, then ask questions to clarify. Otherwise, you'll get lost in new terminology, which is covered FAST! Good overall.

Extremely recommended this professor. He is very knowledgeable, and he also cares for students. Even he goes through lessons very fast, you could do a lot of work, and you absolutely learn a lot. He grades Lab easily as his given extra credit for this course. I took him both Uni. Physics and made As on both. TAKE HIM FOR BETTER KNOWLEDGE.

Okay, so even though i was critical of song for a long time, to be fair he is the best teacher of physics in richland. Definitely this class is not easy and you should only take if only you are required too. If you make A in this class, you feel like you have earned it.

Dr.Claudiu is by far the best and most helpful professor I have encountered in 4 years at RICHLAND COLLEGE. he is truly a gem of the University. GREAT teacher! Kind, helpful, will clarify things until you understand them, funny, real, and keeps every class interesting. Helpful with things even outside of HIS own class, can't wait to take HIS again!

He uses class time well and covers everything you need to know. The homework can be time consuming but usually has video examples that walk you through the problem. There are 3 tests and they are very similar to the review problems. You need a 92% to get an A, but it's very doable. Overall, a consistent teacher and a relatively easy class.

This was a great class. This teacher gave partial credit for problems on test and he has a great personality. I would highly recommend this professor to anyone in my opinion. The class I took with this professor was between a lab and a lecture class and you would have to make at least a B or higher to finish all the homework and tests by the way.

Disregard all comments from previous semesters, things have changed! This is no longer a cake walk class. You HAVE to study and most of the time you don't even know what to study. Go to class and do all the other work to get the points so you will only have to worry about loosing points on the exams.

I took this class summer 2015 based off the reviews thinking it would be an easy GPA boost and I was wrong. Test aren't open book or take home, but you can use a one page cheat sheet. Grades HW and Lab fairly easy. He drops your lowest exam and lab. If you're a self learner this class is for you. Professor does not know how to teach the material

I had Dr Rusu for PHY 2426 and he is a very cool and a helpful person, accepts late hw and labs, grades generously and gives a curve. Its a hard class but if you do the hw & pay attention in class you will do well. He is very smart, knows his physics and will go out of his way to help you. He's the kind of prof you'd want to have as your friend.

Just make sure you really hit the books. Homework for each chapter + Labs + 3 tests + final. Drops the lowest test score. Great teacher!

I took this course over Summer, so of course it was fast and very long lectures. He grades very slow, but curved on exams. He truly cares about students and I think if you show an interest he will work with you. You get to drop one lab and one test. No homework or quizzes. You can also use one full sheet of notes on exams. I would recommend!

Very good teacher. Take his class if you want to learn something. All you have to do is apply yourself. You get what you give, if you try your best and you know it is your best you will do fine. Ask questions if you don't understand. Professor Rusu is very nice and will answer any question even if you stop him. He will challenge you think a little.
