Dr. Abraham is a great and funny professor. He did easy reading quizzes online each week (skimming works). He mostly did examples in class, and did attendance with clickers.

He is a very good professor and legitimately wants to see his students succeed. However, I would NOT advise taking his honors section.

Dr. Abraham is a great professor. He structured his tests around 30 MC questions (only 25 count) and he may curve the test. With that said, he is a nice grader but the students must learn the material to pass. Do a moderate amount of preparation and you should be fine.

If you love to integrate problems and make your own equations, take him because he will give you videos some of them are 30 mins long on D2l explaining how to drive or integrate equations.

Hilarious guy, very passionate for what he teaches and tries his best to help the class pass. The work is difficult, but study well, TALK TO THE TAs, and you'll be fine. Your gpa will be fine here, he does lots of curve and extra credit. Also, he uses Discord, so automatically a W, feel free to talk to him about anything, like ANYTHING. ifhesees 🦭

Course is VERY difficult but he's an awesome guy. Midterms were hard but had an insane curve, upwards of 20 points + there was provided exam practice questions that were similar + custom equation sheet. LOTS of reading and the HW was super hard (hours to do). Final had INSANE 40 point curve. I thought I was going to fail. Overall, funny guy.

He is a good teacher but the class itself was hard to learn in. he would be a great teacher for a small lecture but for a class of 300, it was difficult. He is very educated in his craft but there was some disconnect in relaying his knowledge to his students. Also no one I have ever talked to has felt confident after a test.

Dr. Abraham is very kind, but his lecture style isn't very informative. He draws diagrams and examples without labeling anything or defining variables. He has graded TopHat questions and attendance. His exams are very difficult, and his TAs grade things incorrectly constantly. The class is a GPA tanker.

Dr. Abraham is so funny and really engages the class. His lectures are a little hard to follow and his examples are very variable-heavy and don't really use any "real-world" examples, which I struggled with. Reading the textbook and doing reading quizzes is imperative for a good grade! He gives a lot of extra credit and curves.

Dr. Abe. What a guy. He's such a funny professor, highly recommend him if you have the option to. As long as you show up to class and pay attention to what he's talking about and work on the homework, your grade will be fine. Exams are curved, and you can get extra credit on them. Physics is a difficult subject but Dr. Abe makes it better!

I have to say that this is one of my best college professors. He is very engaging, and a all around great guy who is real with his students. Best of all, he seems to actually like his job, to an extent.

Was the material for the class difficult? Yes. Was Prof Abe an amazing professor? Absolutely. He actually cares about his students and gives multiple chances. If you actually pay attention during class, (You don't even have to go to every lecture, just go to 1-2 a week.) you will succeed. Trust me. I took the honors section but it wasn't too hard.

Before taking this class, I thought I hated physics and didn't have the capacity to understand it. Now, I'm switching my major to engineering physics. Dr. Abraham is a fantastic lecturer, super helpful during office hours, and has given us multiple bonus credit opportunites on top of the curves. He's also hilarious and receptive to feedback.

I loved Dr. Abe this semester, and he made this class more enjoyable than it should have been. Physics 2 is HARD, but he taught it very well, and if you have to take Physics 2, I'd highly recommend taking it with him. He also offers an ABSURD amount of extra credit and curves generously, which has saved my grade a ton.

If you're taking Physics 2, this is the way to go. He's probably your best bet when it comes to this class, as he explains well and has generous extra credit/curves. The lectures are sometimes hard to understand, but he's very open to questions and feedback both in and outside of class. He's a funny and personable guy that made Physics 2 enjoyable.
