your phucked... drop your major if you get him cause it is impossible...once gave a take home test and on the top is said " to be completed in 168 hours" game over

his hair cure even looks like devil's horns

I learned nothing from this extraordinarly difficult professor. The tests, all but impossible, are from the notes and not the book, and he cannot break down the material for the student to understand. *NOTE: doesn't change tests much from year to year..

Had him in Fall 94 for Calc I and over 1/2 class dropped because we were failing. Doesn't sound like he's changed in 10 yrs. Finally get to say my piece...he will always suck!!! The man should do research and NOT teach!!!!!!

drop this class now

DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS TEACHER. Whether you study or not, do the homework or not, this guy will break you. Few pass his class, and he is responsible for many leaving any Engineering major. Not recommended for any class.

Do not take! Whatever the cost!

This guy is nuts, impossibly hard but if you ace the final, you can escape with an A. Take someone else and you will learn more

I'm a 3.9 GPA pre-med student and I'd rather shoot myself in the face than take his class again. Worst professor I've ever had. The tests are impossible and have nothing to do with the material taught in class or in the book.

So hard. I would aviod him!! He acts like we are taking this class for a phd level

WORST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY WHOLE LIFE!!!! Went to class every day, studied for tests and still ended up failing class and i've never gotten lower than a C my life in a class...teaches like we already now what his dorky-ass is talking about when we have no idea...very WEIRD...DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!

I do not reccomend taking this class. The tests do not follow the book and the book only folows some of the class notes. He does not ever clearly state any answers to the questions he puts on the tests. All answers have to be deduced. There are rarely any examples and the class average on his tests were around an 8 out of 15 each time.

Unless you have already majored in physics, there is no possible way to understand anything this poindexter says. There are 3 exams, final, and weekly online homework assn. Don't bother studying any of the book problems after the first test, they won't do you any good. In conclusion, this guy is a disgrace to his profession and very uncoordinated

Redmount is a terrible, terrible teacher. He never follows the book, nor are his tests a fair evaluation of your understanding in the class. I was straight A student until his class. I took physics in high school, yet coming out of this class I feel like I knew less. AWFUL TEACHER. Over half of the class failed with a C- or below.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. His lectures, the book, and his exams all focus on something different. If you decide to take Redmount, good luck.

"Dr. Redmount is too intelligent to teach intro physics" is probably one of the most common things that students say. I disagree. Part of being truly intelligent is possessing the ability to communicate your ideas to others. To do this, you must understand your audience and adapt to their needs. Dr. Redmount cannot do this and thus is ineffective.

This is waste of tuition you pay not to mention precious morning hours. Plz consider taking physics elsewhere esp. if you are premed/pre-dent. He despises premed and pre-dents and gets kick out of making life miserable for them.

Redmount is one of those people that talks overly fast and extra loud in order to assert the fact that he thinks he is smarter than everyone else. The tests and lecture have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the lecture. There is essentially no point in going to class. The book we use is also written by him so there is no way to learn on your own.

Dr. Redmount is by far the worst professor I have ever had. He rambled off topic for ages in lecture, the tests were very difficult and the online homework did not help me understand the material. He was condescending and very intimidating. I would NEVER recommend him. I am pre-med and his class did nothing to help with the MCAT.

Literally makes the class harder than the calculus than my Calc 2 class for no reason. He literally just shows off his knowledge during class and is very pompous. Do not take this class because it is not physics 1.

Do not take Redmount. He tries to make physics as hard as possible to make himself seem smarter. I like physics and am good at it and was appalled by how he taught. He makes you get the book that he wrote, which I did not learn a single thing from. His lectures and tests are similar, but are not similar at all to the homework. Worst teach I've had.

The rest of the reviews are pretty accurate. He is very pompous and loves to show how smart he is. He does calc 3 and diff eq and the coreq is calc 2. For those of you who must take him, wait until the first test and when you have a solid group, all pitch in and buy one book, because you only need it for the tests. A on final means A in class.

Dr. Redmount is by far one of the worst professors at SLU and one of the worst teachers I have ever had in my lifetime. What goes on during lectures, homework, and tests are 3 completely different things. Get yourself a good group with people who already know physics, because you sure won't learn how to do the homework and test problems from him.

I took this class for the Gen physcis (Non-calculus based), knowing that he was a difficult professor for the calculus based courses. What I did not know was that he still expected a similar level of mathematical skill from us. His lectures, homework and tests were very different from each other so succeeding in his class is very difficult.

He's the reason I dropped engineering. Doesn't post slides, rushes through the slides very quickly, when contacting by email it can be very frustrating. Overall you can get through the courses, but your life will be a living nightmare.

Horrendous Teacher. Lectures in class dont often have anything to do with the homework. I learned nothing in this class. Everything he explains is way more complicated than a physics 1 course.

Dr. Redmount is a disgrace to academics and Saint Louis University. He refuses to teach his students concepts that are necessary to complete assigned homework and exams and demonstrates no example problems. He instead rambles about esoteric physics topics. Students pay to receive an education that they are clearly not receiving from Redmount.

Mr. Redmount was one of the worse professors I have had. His lectures on Physics 1 consisted of a word document with just equations; no visual aids. Redmount provided almost no explanation of what the equations do, instead would ramble about various things like history and local events. The class had no test only 14 HW assignments. Learned nothing.

No tests--your entire grade is 14 homework assignments. Lectures are just him rambling about space and obscure science trivia for 50 minutes. Lectures were so bad that 70% of the class completely stopped attending about halfway through the semester. If you want to get an A and also learn absolutely nothing about physics take this class.

Doesn't teach in lectures, instead rambling about the lives of physicists. Claims this is because "it's not all equations" but the homework is just equations. Only grade is homework done on a buggy website you have to buy. Has calc 1 as a coreq but uses calc 3 concepts. He wrote the "affordable" textbook which is just the notes he already provides.

While he may be passionate about physics, his ability to teach is unacceptable for freshman-level physics. He is not helpful with students as he said at the beginning of the semester, "If you email me with questions on the homework, I will NOT help you". Students leave this class without learning or understanding essential concepts of physics.

without a doubt the worst professor i have ever had, if not in the entire world. it is better to take physics at another school and transfer it in than suffer this useless prof. refused to answer questions. grade is 100% homework based but the homeworks are impossible and you cannot get help; tutoring center will report cheating if you ask for help

This prof could not teach for his life of him, but to get an A is really easy. All his homework is online and can be found on Chegg or Brainly and you only have 10 questions every week. There are no exams, and attendance does not matter, doesn't matter if you go in or not you will not learn anything. This was the easiest class of my life at SLU.

Hands down the worst instructor I've ever had. He makes things extremely overcomplicated and can't teach whatsoever. His examples are him skimming over complicated equations with little to no explanation. Don't bother asking questions bc you will just be made to feel stupid. The upside is that it is easy to get an A bc only HW counts for your grade

NO EXAMS. Your grade depends on 14 homework assignments that are tricky and time consuming. Lectures don't matter at all just search up how to do the assignments on google and that's it. Don't buy his textbook.

You're not going to learn anything, but you will get an A. I don't recommend taking the class if you have to take another physics course in the future, but if it is just a knock out credit then I recommend.

He is a truly bad professor. You do not need to go to class which is nice and it is all homework and no exams. That is really nice but he is so bad. He doesn't teach and goes on random rants. He just reads of his textbook which he makes us buy. He literally does nothing for the class, he doesn't even grade the homework himself.

Good luck if you ever run into any problems or become hospitalized. Does not check his email, does not care about students and does not accept any paperwork to make up assignments even if you have a valid excuse. The worst professor ever. Does not even teach well. He is the reason the physics department got uncredited.

This professor is not good at teaching. He likes to go off on tangents and random history things. He reads straight from the textbook. He makes rare jokes that are pretty dry. The only good thing is that he grades completely off homework. No exams. If you need to learn stuff, like for the MCAT, do not take him. You will pass, you will not learn.
