Easy class.....always out early....Highly recomend!
this class was is easy that if you want to get A. all you have to due is just do the homework and study the homework.
Best Teacher! Makes you understand Phyics really well, and not complicated at all. He makes the class and exams easy as possible. Exams are on the HW problems he goes throw in the class, Just study those prob. and you will be really good in the exam. Labs, if you go to lab and do it u will get 10/10 .
He is a great teacher! I had very little math background before taking his course and I did very well in the class. I went into the class hoping for at least a C (having had to drop it before because of a failing grade with another prof.)and left the class with an A. I dont find all of the material super easy but he is detailed and very clear. If y
Great teacher! Very laid-backed. Notes are straight-foward. Tests are based on the notes. The testbook is only necessary for the problems, which are done in class. Labs are pass/fail. If you show up and do labs you always get 10/10. Always lets class out early.
Good Teacher. Very easy class
Very Good Professor. he says you need the book for his class but you really dont. He writes notes on the board and thats what his tests are made up of. He gives you all formulas. He's a cutie that tries to be funny (which makes it funny). But he does have a low monotone voice.
Hees a good guy and its a pretty easy class.
Took this class in Spring of 04. He is very monotone, and makes you fall alseep in class. Never really used the textbook except to look at formulas and problems that we did in class. The labs are very easy. Let us out of class early but not all the time.
Nice teacher, wants you to succeed. Study his notes and you will do fine.
Great teacher! Explains physics!!
Only used book for problems. Tests are kind of hard. Labs are very easy. I'd suggest taking him though.
i took this class fall, '08 when i was working full time too. i do not like math but mr. casey explained things VERY clearly and straight. his exams are fair (if you study his notes). already told two of my friends to take him!
One of the funniest teaechers, Every time he made a joke i laughed. Exteremly easy teacher, just do the problems he gives and concentrate on that for the tests. Labs are a joke, no offence. he's tooooooooooo easy. Fun class though no doubt.
Mr. Casey! Great Guy! There should be more of him in this world! I took him for Physics...not my favorite subject but I ended up getting a B! He is very approachable and can make you laugh and smile! He is very understanding and will help in any way possible. Very funny! He gives great notes! Highly recommend him....be nice to him or else! Good guy
professor casey is a stud! just follow the directions he gives you, do the questions from the book and you will be fine! awesome class!
Take Casey...and NO ONE ELSE!
I took this class last year. He made the class interesting but there is a LOT of algebra in it. I would STRONGLY recommend you take Prof. Casey if you are going into pharmacy. His notes helped with my MCAT/PCAT. He's also easy to look at! ;)
Mr. Casey is the best physics teacher for PHY 150. His test questions are based on the problems in class and as long as you show up to labs, you get full credit. I highly recommend.
awesome teacher. the test are easy. the labs are short. very helpful. plus he is funny.
The best teacher I've ever had at Moraine! He is so nice & helpful, VERY funny. Doesn't waste your time with information you wont need to know. Labs are easy & fast. If you study his study guides you will do well on the exams. I wish he taugh all the science classes here!
The best teacher I've ever had at Moraine! He is really nice, so helpful & VERY funny! His labs are easy & fast. He doesn't waste your time with info you wont need to know. If you study his study guides you'll do well on the exams. I wish he taught all the science classes at moraine! (lol)
The best teacher I've ever had at Moraine! he is so nice & helful, VERY funny! His labs are easy and fast. He doesn't waste your time with info you dont need to know & explains everything very well. If you study his study guides, you'll do great on his exams. I wish he taught more science classes at Moraine!
makes you want to go to class. so funny and helpful. great teacher!! he actually wants you to succeed and understand the material. I wish every teacher taught like him. He made a hard subject look very easy
Study the problems he goes over in class and there is no reason why you can't pass. Labs are either pass/fail. Good teacher though.
awesome teacher. really helpful and wants you to do well, plus he's cutee!!! seriously marry me!
The nicest teacher I have EVER met.
I went to this website before I registered for this class to see which teacher to take. The reviews are true... Casey was AWESOME! I would HIGHLY recommend him - he is clear, straight to the point and his drawings are helpful. Exams are not easy but all you have to do is study his notes.
Craig is certainly an easy physics teacher, and he's helpful one-on-one, but he mumbles through lectures and shows little enthusiasm for his subject. His teaching is straight from the book and based on dryly memorizing formulas instead of livening the content to aid understanding. Don't take him if you'll need to know physics in your career.
Mr. Casey was one of, if not THE, best teachers I have had at MVCC. Exams are straight-forward and all formulas are given for each test. Study his notes for the exams. He is also hot which is why I never missed class!
best teacher ever. really helpful and very straight forward. his notes help A LOT with exams. he's a very kind man and understands that students in his class have lives and other classes to study for. take him!
Casey was an awesome teacher! His lecture and notes were very clear. Labs are good too. 10 out of of 10!
He is the best teacher ever! the class is super fun and easy. TAKE HIM!!!
He is the best teacher I have ever had at Moraine! He's awesome and the class is super easy and interesting. All of his notes are very clear and the tests and labs are straight-forward. Just take him!
Best teacher in my 3 semesters at moraine. Seriously, can we get him to teach chemistry and microbiology too??
mr. casey was BY FAR the best physics teacher! i took 151 a year ago and had to drop it. but i learned alot from casey and his notes were extremely useful. i would HIGHLY recommend you take 150 and 151 with mr. casey!
got Casey? You should!
Very good teacher! He lectures for 30 minutes than makes you work on problems. If you re do all the problems at home the night before the exam you will get an A on his exam. Physics is not easy but he makes it simple. I highly recommend taking him!
Wow, amazing. I took PHY 150 with another professor and dropped. Casey makes pHY make sense. The best Professor for PHY ever! Take him. Got Casey? you should!
I wouldn't call the class EASY but it definitely wasn't very difficult. If you study allot before the exams you'll have no problem with them. The labs aren't so bad either- and this is coming from someone who loathes labs. Hes a very fair teacher- take him if you can!
The best Physics professor EVER! Review the PP's and you'll get an A! Take him if you can!!
I took Physics with another Prof and had to drop. Retook it with Casey and got an A. His lectures are clear. The exams are based on the lectures. just go to class, take notes, and you will do well on the tests. AWESOME teacher!
Great teacher! Exams are based on the notes. Makes the class fun while learning physics. He's a cool teacher! Take him if you can (his classes fill up TOO FAST).
Stop reading and go register... right now! His class fills up fast. I got an A! he gives 5-6 probles per chapter 3 chapters per test. 4 exams non-cumulative, no final! Basically all you need to do is understand 15-20? questions per exam and you will get an A on the test. no final just 4exams. Pus he gives you a formula sheet for the test
Best.Teacher.Ever.
I had a different teacher for 150 and casey for 151. It was like night and day. casey explained things so much better than my other teacher. And he is way cute and so nice! his class fills up too fast so register early to get a spot.
Absolutely amazing!! One of the best, if not THE best teachers I've ever had. His class is super fun, super cool dude and funny. He explained everything very clearly
The reviews are true. Mr. Casey is that good! He took a difficult subject that I was afraid to take and taught it so I could understand it. I highly recommend taking Casey over ANYONE else. And he seems like a really nice guy too!
Best teacher. Period! Excellent at explaining problems. Labs are straight forward. His piercing blue eyes make me go to class every week. ;)
HANDS DOWN! He is the best physics professor ever! Practice the examples given in class and understand your formulas. Understand how to manipulate formulas!
I took Mr. Craig Casey for Phy 2---> LECTURES - Gotta go to these to pass the exams. HMWK - Assigns a few problems but does them in class. EXAMS - 14 problems each , 2 or 3 of the problems are tough. LABS - Easy. TEACHER - Explains the problems clearly. He' handsome too, ladies!
Wonderful teacher and genuinely nice guy! Very clear lectures and exam problems are based on what is done in class. What more could you ask for in a teacher?!? Would HIGHLY recommend you take Casey for both 150 and 151 physics.
take this class if you are not good at science at all or not going into a science major! easiest science class at mvcc. easiest teacher. lab lasts a half hour if that, usually doing it together as a class. never used my book. writes everything on the book for lecture and uses only that for tests. he's a chill guy. always let out early. RECOMMEND!!!
Best teacher I've ever had in my four semester at moraine. Take him up if you need a science class. And yes, ladies, his eyes are a beautiful blue!
Nice guy but he straight up told us that he was going to make his phycics 2 class a lot harder because of grade inflation. Ended up with first my C in college because I thought he was supposed to be an easy professor, but not anymore. try Bates or someone else of you want an easier A
Made class ridiculously hard. I don't know why these other comments say that he's easy. He made it almost impossible to get an A. Good teacher, just insane exams. Try someone else you want an easy grade.
By far, the best teacher I've had! Exams are fair and Casey goes over what you need to know. Labs are done in groups and he helps you through the labs. Can't wait to take him for physics 2!
Stop whatever you're doing and go register for his class before it fills. You will learn physics and have fun too!
i'm not good at math or science but prof. casey made this class VERY enjoyable and i learned alot. his exams are fair and he's always willing to help if you have questions. thank you, prof. casey!
One of the best teachers I have ever had! Makes the class so easy and interesting! no reason why you should get anything less than a B. and thats pushing it. I got an A easily!
Fantastic teacher! Waaaay better than the teacher I had for PHY 150. Explains the whole chapter in the first 45 minutes of class, then we solve the problems together. He is so nice too! :)
Relatively easy class. Nice guy, but boring. During lab he would just search the web. He seemed to have little interest in being a teacher. There are 4 tests. 3 of them are physics and 1 chem. Test are 90% or your grade and labs are 10%. There pretty easy tests. You don't need a book. Everything you need to know he gives you.
Great class! Prof Casey knows his stuff. Excellent teacher!
Great class and a nice guy! He made physics interesting. Go to class too, he's worth it! ;)
Wonderful teacher! I'm not a science person but he made the class very enjoyable. Go to class, take notes and you will do fine. He's easy to talk to! ;)
I took this course this summer. Prof Casey was a wonderful teacher! Exams are based on notes. Just take the class, you're going to love him!
Prof Casey was an excellent teacher! Study his notes and you're good in the class. Five exams, not too tough. Nice guy too! ;-)
One of the nicest teachers I have ever had! He really knows the material and he has straight forward lectures and exams. He seems to really care about the students! Can't wait for PHY 2!
Casey is the best. Took him for PHY 150 & 151. I see he is teaching PHY 204 next term, taking him in Spring 2015. He is the best, old school but the kind that makes you understand the information. You have to seek out help. Casey is the best. Take him
great teacher. he doesn't give you a final which is awesome because physics is hard . the examples he does in class is are almost same as test. labs are easy. highly recommend.
He wants to be in class as much as you do. He doesn't which is great! Almost 3 hour class made into 1.5 hours. Notes, example problems, done. Study those problems and show up to labs and you should get an A. Fair warning, multiple choice tests which is fine but few problems so no mistakes. They're crucial. Tests aren't super difficult though :)
Just finished PHY 2 with Prof Casey with an "A"! Prof Casey is an awesome teacher, hilarious, and easy to look at! Would definitely take him for another class but this was my last physics class.
It's a deceptively easy class. Teacher prepares you for the exams, but it's still a science class so you have to study.
I waited until the summer to take his class because it filled in the Fall. It was worth the wait! Exams are mult choice and his notes are very clear. Go to class and you'll do fine! He is nice and sooooo easy to talk to! ;-)
WOW! A great teacher that makes the class worthwhile! Has the notes already on the board before you show up for class. One of the best teachers I've had MC!
Fantastic teacher! Exams are fair and not too difficult and the labs are easy. Is willing to work with you if you don't understand something. All around nice guy :-)
Just finished General Physics, and he was THE BEST! Lectures are clear and he really explains the equations. Exams are 20 problems each, not difficult but you do have to study for them. Coolest teacher I've ever had!
One of the best professors at Moraine Valley! Took Fundamentals of physics not knowing much to knowing a lot. I absolutely loved Professor Casey, hes very funny and intelligent. Most likely am taking a few more courses with him. I absolutely recommend you take him! Amazing lectures, Not many tests are given!
Incredibly nice guy! Treats the students fairly! Exams (4 of them) are not the easiest but all the equations are given for each test. Its physics so, yes, you have to STUDY!
Casey was the best! Very knowledgeable and explains the material well. Problems on the test are straight from the notes and what he does in class. He's nice to talk to, look at ;-)
Excellent professor, no books needed. Pretty straight forward class, nothing too complicated. Need to work little for the A but easily doable. Best professor
Best teacher I've ever had! Learned ALOT! Wish he taught ALL my classes! His exams are multiple choice and are just like the homework problems he does from the book. Register early b/c his sections fill up in like two days.
Mr. Casey it probably the best physics teacher there is. Labs are basically 15% of the grade and there are 4 exams that are worth 85%. The exams are similar to problems he does in class. Overall you still have to work for the grade.
Not would I expected. He barely explains the work he puts on the board. Very hard to follow his examples. Disappointed in the teacher's abilities to teach us the material. Let down to say the least.
Prof Casey was an AMAZING teacher! I'll admit that science is not my thing but his lectures were right to the point and he explained the material so that you understood it. Four exams for most of the grade and the labs are easy. Go to class, take notes, study what he says to study and you will pass the class.
If you aren't good with studying by yourself then stay far away from this teacher. He barely explains the things that he puts on the board. He skips through it as if you already know how to solve the problems.
Fantastic teacher! Is fair and will help you before and after class. He made physics interesting! Can't wait for PHY 2 next semester!!
This professor is GREAT!! I don't know how someone would say he is horrible. I came in knowing literally nothing in physics but he turned that around. I got an A!
Mr. Casey is the best teacher I have had in my life!! He gives very clear directions and is very nice. His work is written clearly on the board, and I learned a lot in his class. He is very understanding and teaches very well. Overall, I was very glad to be in his class!!!!
Best science teacher I've had at MV. Straight-up exams, very fair grader. Would recommend!
Physics is hard but professor Casey made it understandable! Four exams and a final, all multiple choice. Formulas are given, labs are ok. Really nice guy, 10/10!
His exams were fairly easy if you study the questions he does in class. As far as his lectures, they were really boring. He curves the hell out of exams for the entire class. His labs are really easy they take probably 10-30 mins max. This class is not an easy A so make sure you pay attention to the types of problems. All his exams are 20?s each
Had Casey for PHY 150 and 151. Great teacher and a really nice guy! Material is hard (its physics!) but if you study and take Casey you'll do fine
Prof Casey is awesome - funny, caring, he's all good! Finally understanding physics after two tries with other professors. Can't wait for next semester with him!
Amazing Professor. They speak in a way thats easy to understand and they make the lesson interesting. If I could I would take this class again. The grading is also fair, as long as you study the notes you take in class then the test will be easy. I took him for astronomy and loved it definitely recommend.
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! His classes fill up fast for a reason! great guy
Amazing professor! Definitely take him for physics
He wasn't as good as his reviews claim. His first exam was extremely easy, then he unexpectedly increased the difficulty of his next three exams by a lot. He had many questions on the exam that he didn't teach. Many of my other friends took other professors at MVCC and had a much easier time. He struggled to transition to online. Grades late af.
Excellent teacher and really easy going! Took as a remote class due to Covid-19 and it was worth it. He gave four exams, makeups too and extra credit! Lab part was very time consuming though.
Great teacher and very easy going. Explains the concepts and gives worksheets in class for practice. Exams are just like the worksheets and multiple choice. Would definitely recommend!
Prof Casey was awesome! Lectures are straight to the point, clear as can be. Exams (4 or 5 of them), all multiple choice. Would HIGHLY recommend!!
Dude is a legend. Super chill and really nice. The labs are so easy, will only take like 30 minutes tops. Try your hardest to get him as your professor.
Professor Casey was amazing everything was straight to the point. The lectures were clear and the labs is super easy. The practice problems he gives is all you would really need to do well in the class.
Casey was awesome! Lectures are straight to the point, exam are 20 problems each. So glad I got into his 151 section next semester! It filled up in MINUTES!!
Prof Casey was the best teacher I've had a Moraine. Lectures are right to the point and then he goes over all the problems you need to know to do well on the exams. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Best physics professor at Moraine. No homework or quizzes, only labs and exams.
Great teacher! Explains the concepts so students get it. Excellent drawings on the board helps a lot. Four exams and they are very similar to the problems in class. Would take again for 151
This professor Craig who teaches Physics that I took PHY-106 since Spring 2022 that I needed for my Computer and LAN Technology major. He's my favorite professor I love. He gave me and classmates excellent worksheets. I took physics class since my senior year in high school. Thanks to Craig for giving us good grades and excellent assignments.
I read other reviews at rmp and then took Mr Casey for PHY 150 Gen Physics I in Spring. Lectures were a big help with solving the problems and getting ready for the exams. Highly recommend
Goated....
Great professor! The lectures are straightforward and his explanations really help with the problem sets. I found unstuck AI and the free textbook to be super useful for studying and prep. Definitely worth taking this class if you're looking for an engaging physics course.
Wowza! Took Prof Casey for PHY 1 and 2. Lectures were straight to the point, goes over theory and formulas, but it is mainly problem solving in class. Would highly recommend!
Grades weren't entered until after the semester was over and nothing was graded all year. Labs were extremely easy but lectures were just word for word reading slideshows. Never responded to emails either but if you just reviewed the slideshows before the exams you'll do good.
110% recommend him to anyone scared of physics. I never took physics in high school and came in nervous, but I ended with a really high grade. His class is super straightforward, study the worksheets he does with you in class before exams and you'll do great. Great teacher!
