W/little gained from Physics I, I would consider myself fortunate to have had Dr. Bentley for Physics II. He allowed us to work examples in class and the student notes provided are very helpful. Instead of comprising my own notes in class, I can listen & absorb. Bonus Quizes after each concept boost your grade and keep you on your toes!

Boring lectures. You do not learn anything of real value. A lot of tests.

DO NOT TAKE HIM. Every class, he plays a video of him teaching from another semester, and in the video you cant even see the board and he expects you to take a quiz after every class over what was talked about in the video, but its almost impossible if you cant see the board and the video from who knows how long ago. QUIZ EVERYDAY! GO TO CLASS.

Skip class? You won't pass.

Great professor, takes his time to teach the material. Offer office hours to help students with the lesson as well.

Professor Bentley is not the professor to take if you expect to learn or comprehend the material. He shows a prerecorded video of himself teaching the previous class and sits down. He does not use Ecourses or the book. I wanted to attempt to teach myself the material but he doesn't follow the book. He prints notes that he wrote by hand.

Does not reply to emails, very nice man but lacks communication with students! His class is very simple, watch the lecture, take the quiz(always 3 questions). The lectures sometimes can be confusing because he gets confused himself, in the zoom he will say something like I dont remember what I said, but bare with him because hes older.

He was not the best of the professor that I have had. He doesn't explain the assignments. I was lucky to pass his class but I would never take him again.

We were given past recorded lectures to watch and then 3 question quizzes to answer every class, he never actually taught us. Exams were multiple choice then fill in the blank. The exams were more and more difficult and most students failed at least 2-3 of them, the makeup exams were even harder.

Just don't take the class. The entire class was confused when they actually showed up for in person classes and the online tests were not as easy as you might think they would be. Please don'ttake the class and the point system for grades is very confusing. We spent half the semester trying to figure out out real grade and only got one update. NO!

Took him for general PHYS 1. All assignments are online but you do come to class for the lectureswhich is kind of optional because he takes attendance by grading quizzes. Quizzes are every class day and based on what was talked about in class. If you use the formulas provided during the lecture, quizzes and exams should be a breeze. Use resources!

Mr. Bentley cannot teach not even trying to be rude. He forgets what he's saying when he teaches, it doesn't make sense, and he shows up late sometimes. You won't know your grade until halfway into the semester and until final grades are out. He's older and doesn't use technology a lot. I would avoid him. Attendance and participation matters.

I did not really learn much in his class, but he gives out quizzes for extra credit on your tests and all tests and quizzes are online.
