Made students to learn material on their own, fair grader, online quizes helpful

Weird clothing, not a bad prof, picky on tests

inconsistent grading, tricky tests

If you learn it wou will get an A, no problem.

If you can't pass this man's calss, you can't be taught. He is too nice sometimes. Best dresser of '02

Is a good lab prof, but is kinda geeky and you gotta love the clothes! Anyhow, he knows his stuff, and will let you in on it if you ask nicely.

odd man, obviously knows the stuff. very tough grader, picky. avoid him for lab.

Good professor if your willing to put in the effort to learn the stuff. Will do anything to make sure students learn the material. Definitly not a easy course not matter who the prof though. But at least this guy speaks english.

Difficult subject matter, good at explaining it.

Isn't a great teacher... but grades nicely. Online quizzes suck... Check the pink pants.

If you can't learn from him, you can't be taught. I can't say he is really easy, but the man will go the extra mile to make sure you understand. He is a fair grader and is test are bearable.

Not the greatest teacher, and the class isn't easy. You can tell he's a physics teacher, by that he's odd, but seems to be a nice guy. Study like crazy and go see him for help.

Not easy, must do the homework. Good guy, comes off as an oddball. Knows his stuff, works willingly with you one on one. Take advantage of his generosity. Online quizzes are a pain, don't really prove anything, avoid for lab but good for lecture.

He's tough, but a good guy. If you do your online quizzes, you're guaranteed at least one good test grade. Go see him... he will help. If your willing to study hard.. I recommend him.

Took a while to get used to his teaching style, but once you do, you'll do fine. Show up to class and do online quizzes every night. Avoid for lab. Very nit-picky. Practical was easy if you know material, but he expects a lot and grades hard.

Great teacher. Tries to explain the concepts of Phys 1. Although you take daily online quizzes,they prove to be very helpful. You cant just come to class and expect to get a 90+, but it you so that you're willing to learn then you'll pass.

Cares about students. Good at explaining concepts. Interesting taste in clothes.

Tries hard to help you out, and wants you to do well, but sometimes he confuses students with his strict adherence to exact meanings of technical words and concepts. Daily quizzes help out a lot. Do them with a friend or two and your golden.

Was an easier class than I expected. He has a wierd teaching style with online quizzes, but he probably the best physics teacher at Kettering, and also very helpful. You will learn something if you take him. He also gives extra on tests which help your grade a lot.

Lectures were clear, just follow "Knight's 4 step process" and every one of the problems are easy. Tests were not like homework or in class examples...they were easier. If you learn by memorizing numbers and equations, you won't do well here. If you learn by grasping the concepts behind WHY the equation works, this class is a breeze.

Only take his class if you understand physics already. If you have taken physics, jump for this class. He has online quizzes due before you go over the material in the class. If you understand it, it is an easy A, if you don't, don't expect a good grade. Tests are 6-7 multiple choice with an easy workable problem. Just follow the method and ur good

Most Phys 1 & 2 profs require the pre-lecture online quizzes now. Difficult course no matter who you have, but welcome to college. Lectures, HW, tests are all fair. He likes to teach and wants to see you succeed. Probably #2 best phys prof at school.

An excellent upper level physics teacher. He understand that the hard stuff can really be tested on in class, but his homework requirements still makes sure you know it.

very effective professor. he is clear, knowledgeable and willing to help outside of class.

he is very helpful with the students. esp if he thinks you try or you take a few seconds after class to ask him a question even if you dont have one. then he cares more how you do. he will help anyone who comes to his office until they understand.

Rhymes with hassle, and thats what his class is. Online tests are long, boring and extremely frustrating. I took AP but was forced to take this class again. was bored by his lectures and played duke nukem the whole class. Unforgiving on tests, and forces you to think HIS way. Decent prof i guess but frustrating stubbornness.

Extremely hard class, lots of (out-there) theory. BUT Dr. Hassold teaches it very well and is really concerned about his students performance in the class. Always available for questions on material and homework. Study and you'll do just fine.

very helpful and clear son subject matter but is still shaky on teaching style and test seem to take a turn from material. not very fair grader though

Decent prof, but isn't very organized when it comes down to the 1 hour you have with him. He's all over the place and a bit boring. He's easy to talk to, though, and is a nice and fair guy, who wants you to do well.

Labs weren't too difficult to do. Sometimes it was confusing as to what he actually wanted out of a lab, but once you figured it out, it was easy. Missed a lab (sick), and he helped me out and gave me full credit for it instead of having me make it up.

I had Hassold for phys 1, 2, and now waves. He was extreamly helpful in waves and seems to really care about his students. All the tests are open book, but that doesnt mean they are easy. There is a lot of homework, but is really necessary if you want to correctly learn the material.

He loves his students and he really wants them to succeed. Do your reading quizzes and actually read the chapters. Do the mastering physics with google and yahoo and you'll get an ok grade. He likes when people go to his office hours. He brings in bakes goods often. And he allows 4 unexcused absences. Not a bad prof.

Greg is halfway decent. Your grade is composed of tests, reading quizzes, and mastering f..king physics. Tests are generally not too bad. Reading quizzes are a pain in the kock but if you get with some friends you can brute force them in an hour. MP is also a pain but work with friends, use answer key and ask Greg and you're good.

Best upper level physics professor I have had. Extremely motivated for his students to understand the material.

He wants to help you succeed. He will work with you to help you understand concepts and succeed in the class. You have to study and practice but he is very fair. I would highly recommend him.

He is definitely passionate about physics and wants you to learn. At times it seems like there is a lot of moving parts in this class (Reading quizzes on blackboard, Mastering physics, in class quizzes, etc), but as long as you don't wait until the last minute you should be fine. I'm not really that great at physics and I have a B in the class.

Prof. Hassold uses Mastering Physics for homework, and gives 3 exams during Common hour. He teaches well and is available for office hours. Do the online homework and study a lot for his exams and you will do well.

Solid professor. Really nice guy. Going to office hours is very beneficial.

Prof. Hassold is a very smart man who genuinely cares about his students learning, but most students don't like his teaching methods. The workload is high and he is extremely picky when grading. He makes you work for your understanding not for your grade. If you want a class where you can regurgitate information and equations then avoid Hassold.

Professor Hassold was a challenging professor for me, especially early on. However, if you make time to go to meet with him outside of class, he is immensely helpful. If I knew this coming in, I would have gotten a much better grade. But as it stands, his class the worst grade I got at Kettering. So if you struggle with him, GO ASK HIM FOR HELP.
