This Prof. was retired and came back. He really enjoys teaching and give good examples. A little boring but so is the material. Ask a lot of questions & help with demonstrations. Quizes and Tests are hard, but he goes over the answers before.
If this is the Dr. Boyle who teaches physics, he is undoubtedly the best teacher I have ever had. His textbook companion that he wrote is fantastic and really makes life easier.
good prof. but very hard exams.
Prof. Boyle is a wonderful man! He teaches physics!! hard and horrible material, yet he still makes it enjoyable becuase he's funny and plesent! I would defenitly recomend him. It's just a tough subject to teach.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Prof. Boyle for this class. HE WAS BORN TO TEACH. The class is definitely NOT boring & he makes the material interesting, and most of all "understandable & workable". If you study the material, you have no reason not to get an excellent grade in this class!!
He's an extremely nice and accomodating teacher with great stories. He's very easy to understand. The text tends to differ from his style of problem solving, but his tests match his lectures. Take good notes and you'll ace it easily.
awsome, but kinda hard test, he is good
Prof. Boyle is really a good person. He always comes with different storis and that tries to make the class a little less bored. I think he goes too fast, and the test is really really hard that for me it doesn't make sense at all. Anyways, he is really good professor but it doens't teach clearly, he doesn't show the purpose of this class. Physics
This professor tell a lot of stories, his tests are extremely HARD & he doesn't curve. Although he wrote the text book he tends to makeup his own formulas w/out giving reasons. He is not very helpful.....Be Careful.
professor boyle is great! so easy, if you go to class theres no way you can do bad. Plus hes so funny! i love him!!
Nice professor. Explains well the material, however his tests are very hard so get ready to study.
Great professor! Material is VERY hard,but if you go to EVERY class, and do lots of studying,you will do great! He will give you a study sheet before every quiz and exam, study it to a T .. it will help you tremendously!
the best
Don't pay attention to the previous comment. For one thing, we have not had a test yet this semester. Physics is difficult and so far Boye has been helpful. maninteresting does the best
he is an awesome professor. take him.
AMAZING! IF YOU NEED HELP WITH PHYSICS HE IS YOUR MAN. AND WILL KEEP YOU LAUGHING THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH. HE'S RETIRED AND STILL TEACHES BECAUSE HE LOVES IT! TAKE HIM!
Boyle is a trip-his stories will make the class so much more interesting.he always has students' attention... his tests are somewhat difficult(beware of the dreaded multiple choice).He has a tendancy to breeze through some information, and doesnt go back over itm so pay attention.He genuinely cares for his students and does what he can to help you
Prof. Boyle is a great teacher! I would definitely recommend him for this class. His tests are hard but hey its physics!
Boyle is FUNNY while getting the point across! Reminds me of Robin Williams. Difficult class, but this is PHYSICS. He's fair and will always have your have your attention! I took him over 15 yrs ago but think of him often when I talk to people regarding my scholastic years. I pray for more teachers like him. May GOD guard him and his family.
The only reason I passed this class is because of him. I took this in summer and another prof taught the first six weeks which I had an F. Professor Boyle assured me that if I attended class and showed improvement he would take this into account. I had an A avg the second six weeks and got a C. GREAT PROF...
Professor Boyle was the worst professor to take for Physics. He tells too many pointless stories. Instead of all the time he spends story telling, he needs to be explaining the material better. This is a very hard class, and he makes is even harder.
He is a wonderful professor and explains all the points very thourghly i took him in the summer w/ another professor who taught the first 3 weeks both of them were great but Boyle's explanations and derviations are better He does keep you the entire class period but it's worth it if you want an A you'll get it.
hes funny. he tells many stories, some of which relate to physics and others which dont he gives 20pts extra credit, all test questions come from study sheets. makes physics fun great prof. i hope to take him again in phy2054
I have a physics phobia and he managed to get me over it. He really knows his stuff and explains in a way that it is easy to understand. Best physics teacher I have ever had.
just study the probs he does in class and don't fall behind. that is how i made an A w/ <10 hrs of studying which is pretty good i think for a college physics class! also, he is very interesting and willing to help his students! i wish i could take him for 2054 :[[
I took professor Boyle last semester(spring)He was the Most helpful professor I ever had.He cares if you are struggling and really devotes his office hours to extra help.I loved his class and actually learned a lot about Physics.He is a wonderful teacher and his classes are more like a lab bbecauses he demonstrates to help you understand.AWESOME!
He is the nicest professor I have ever had. He is a sweet man, really cares about the material, and helps you to understand. His exams are relatively easy if you study the papers he gives you.
Extremely nice professor. He makes the material fun and interesting. Tests are not that hard if you study, but they are not that easy. He does gives u all the question & answers to the tests before so you can study them. Tells a lot of jokes and is always laughin. dont take the class with any other boring prof. You'll enjoy this course very much.
By far he is the best professor I've ever had. He really cares about his students. The material is a bit difficult but he tries his best to make it as easy to understand as possible. He is also always available to help students during his office hours or after class. He is also very sweet and funny.
The material is difficult, and he doesn't give any freebies, but he's so sweet and so willing to help. He tries to make the material easier and relate it to your life, and his tests are strictly on what you did on the notes. He's hilarious, I recommend him.
horrible grading style
i think this professor is amazing really nice, he cares about us and really easy class if u do what he ask u to do and if u come to classes... he gives reviews, he explains good he is funny and tries his best to do the class interesting..really good teacher..looks like a teddy bear ...i love him ^^
he is really nice professor, he tries to keep interesting the class, he gives reviews ...he tries his best to teach us,, pluss if u come to class and do whatevere he tells u to do like the reviews you will get an A, physics is not easy but with him you actually learn. he is a genious also he can makes calculations by himself and friendly.
He is a very funny old man! He is not very helpfull when you ask him a question most of the time he would say sleep on it! But, if you study everything he teaches you would do just fine. I got a D in my firts quiz and then got all A
Excellent professor, he knows his material very well. If you follow the study guide and you practice the problems in the textbook you will do fine. Guaranteed. of course, you have to study and do your best b/c physics is not that easy, but if u study u will earn a good grade. Take him. May God Bless Prof. Boyle.
AMAZING PROFESSOR!!!!!! The best professor I've ever had!!!!! He's very funny and silly (which does help in this difficult class). He is there to help you if you ask. He cares about all of his students. He is patient. He takes your attendance and hard work into consideration when it comes to your final grade. TAKE HIM!!!!!!
THE BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE HAD!!! He is funny and keeps you awake and interested in the class. Physics is hard but he helps you anytime you need help. Definitely recommend him!!!!
TAKE HIM!!! He is AMAZING! Great guy, and extremely funny. He makes the stuff interesting and fun, which helps the class. Material is difficult, and you need to study. He is very caring and cares that you do good and pass. Best professor I've had in a long time!
Highly recommended. He keeps things light hearted and fun! I was dreading physics but he really knows how to keep your attention and explain the material. Probably the best professor I have ever had.
At first I was scared cause I thought it was going to be a really hard class.. but having prof. boyle as the instructor made my life so much easier. he's a great professor, REALLY FUNNY and helpful. He really cares about his students and is always willing to help. BEST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! I love him!!!
excellent prof. took lab with him. go to class every day and will get an A. very funny,he explains very well and in detail, you will love him.you will never stop laughing in his class. physics is hard but he makes it really easy. you will not regret it. he wrote the book and is < $20. the kind of prof you will want for all classes.
Wonderful teacher. He's handsome and he teaches well. He teaches at a steady pace and answers any questions you throw at him during any moment in his lecture. Great guy
Prof. Boyle is the best physics professor in the whole world. He's very sweet and caring, he is also very funny and knows how to explain the material. He tells a lot of funny stories. I LOVE HIM! If you're scared of physics, he's the best person to go to. He will make everything really clear. I had never taken physics and a got a B+ almost an A :)
Excellent professor. I honestly thought this class was going to be hard but he makes it very fun and explains everything in detail. Make sure you do the lab reports and go to class and will get an A. He is very helpful and will answer any questions. He wants all his students to pass with the highest grade. I recommend him.
Absolutely the best physics teacher at MDC. He is an all around great person. His classes are fun and interesting and all his stories (there are MANY) relate somehow or another to the material taught. This class is an easy A. Show up & turn in lab reports- you're set!
LOVE HIM!!!!! This is a professor who loves to teach and has a genuine interest in watching you succeed.
Excellent professorr! Initially I thought to cancel the class because I'm very shy and he questions a lot! However, the best I did was NOT cancel his class. He explains each exercise step by step and the exams are based on the same exercises as explained in class, if you study what he does in classes, you will not have problems with the exam.
Excellent professor. Physics is stressful, but he does everything easier. The test are based on the same as he gives in class. He likes his students go well. A little talkative, likes to tell stories, but makes the time pass faster during class. I recommend him to everyone.
No stress! just go to school and take note of everything that he gives in classes. Exams are based on the same as he explains in class.
Great professor, he is a REALLY nice old man. Tells alot of funny silly stories and really likes to interact with students. He explains clearly and will help or answer questions before, after and during class or office hours. His test are purely based on the packet he hands out at the beginning of the semester so DO IT as the tests come.
First Name:Professor Last Name:Boyle. Pretty awesome professor. One of the nicest professors at Dade. He'll help you try and understand Physics. You can tell he has a serious passion for Physics and if you don't understand it just "sleep on it."Take the time to study and work out the problems. Highly recommended. And his stories are always relevant
This guy is hilarious. He does his best to involve students in the lecture, and he makes physics accessible to even the most unenthusiastic science students. I found the lectures to be instructive and entertaining. I now feel prepared for whatever PHY 2048 has to offer.
Professor Boyle is a great teacher. He knows a lot about physics. He makes the class fun with his stories. Make sure you attend every class and do all the work that he assigned. Truly helpful.
Professor Boyle is the BEST! He makes physics interesting, which isn't easy to do. He tells a lot of stories during class which breaks up the monotony of the subject. He's super sweet and if you need help, he's available right after class. Highly recommend.
Great professor, funny old physics guy. Made the class fun. He will call on you to read the problem out loud, then he'll keep calling on you that day. The 4 tests are hard and tricky, but easy grader. Gives extra credit homework to do which helps build points. He doesn't teach physics with calculus, but I wish he did.
Professor Boyle is so sweet, kind, and funny; not to mention he's extremely helpful. I was always happy to go to class. Physics is a tough subject, but he teaches in a way that makes it easy to understand. I wish I could take him for all my Physics classes. He's truly the best, and I consider myself incredibly lucky to have been his student.
After 100 years of teaching he should have more than 56 reviews. He talks a lot- goes off topic- tells personal stories- he's just having a good time- that's what you do at his age :) Turn in your Labs, show up to class & practice the review for the final -gives you 11 questions to study and picks 5. You should get an A if you have review down pat!
Professor Boyle is the most amazing teacher ever, he does tell a lot of stories but just to keep the class entertain , go to every lab class because it will help a lot with your grades. Anyways best physics professor in kendall campus! Oh and he will remember your name so be ready to participate.
This class is the hardest class that I ever took in my life. The professor is very helpful , and if you show interesting for the class he will help you to understand all the material, but be careful people think because he is a nice person, they can behave in a disrespectful way. Do not do that because for sure you will regret at the end.
He is an amazing professor! He really cares for his students and will go out of his way to help you out even if you're not in his lecture class. He has hundreds of stories! He helps you with your lab work before you take it home and is willing to go over the material after class as well. Take him!! And you will learn!
Physics is sooooooo boring but he is a great professor. You may not understand anything but you will pass. He says a lot of crazy jokes but it makes everyones day better. If you want to pass the worst subject ever take him.
Great Professor , he always tells silly jokes and stories in class which makes time go by faster, makes things clear even if he gets sidetracked, class is easy, do lab reports and pass the final and good to go
He's very helpful and cares about his students passing. He goes off topic a lot so be prepared to hear stories about his life but other than that, he's a great professor. There's only 1 test (final) and the the rest are lab reports.
he's the best! so kind and so funny. take his class!!
He is an amazing person! Teaches physics like a boss! Just make sure you pay attention to what is happening. He likes to tell A LOT of stories and tease his students (mostly the women). He knows what he's doing though. Every class you do a lab (5points) and then you have ONE final. He will go over the final for you as a review. You'll like him.
Prof. Boyle is amazing. I passed lab with an A. He wrote his own textbook, gave you every question that would be on final. Highly recommended. No homework, lab each class. He let us out an hour early every week. No complaints. He HELPS when you need it. LOVE HIM!
Honestly, he's really nice and cares but he goes off topic so much you cant concentrate. He is more worried about learning everyones names the actually teaching. I like the guy but he has to pick it up and actually teach and focus and excite his students to learn
Professor Boyle is by far one of my favorite professors I've ever had at MDC! He is extremely nice and hilarious. He makes physics seem easy and helps you if you are struggling. He gives a review before the final and they are the same questions on the actual test. So happy I've met such a great professor, I'll definitely take him again if I had to
Professor Boyle is a sweet heart. He is very caring towards his students. Loves to share stories during class. He is very clear with what is needed to pass. I absolutely loved prof Boyle. He makes physics understandable. Easy A!
Best physics teacher a student could ask for. Subsequently took course at Ivy League school and dropped it so that I could take Proff Boyle in the summer again. He makes physics an attainable and comprehensive subject.
Be careful guys with this professor in the lab class there is only 1 test which is amazing, but he didn't advice or notice the student that the attendence count at a 60% of your grade and the syllabus didn't have that information so although you get an A in the test if you have more than 2 abcent your grade will be lower
Best Physics Prof wrote both lecture & lab manuals so he knows his stuff. Shares stories that are extremely relatable which breaks down the subject into layman terms. GRADING IS VERY CLEAR, all labs done in class with him, attendance counts & only 1 final if youre there every day & do the labs you can bomb the final & STILL PASS!
He is very nice and loves to tell stories in class (He's like 80 so be ready to be patient), extremely easy class. You get one absence free but after that, they start to count against your grade. The only test is the final and he gives a packet with the worked out problems and picks 5 of those. He'll make inappropriate jokes but just go with it
He is the best professor in mdc.
He is an amazing professor.!He teaches phyics in a way that i understand and its clear to me because he teaches so well and explains everything. Yes he does tell stories but that is what makes you want to learn when you are in a good classroom setting.I am so happy i took phyics lab with him, i wish i had him for lecture also. He is the best!
He is a very nice person but he needs to retire. He is 78 years old and goes of topic very easily. He gives study guides and practice questions but the study guide was written by him and he gives wrong answers to practice questions. Tests are hard they multiple choice and fill in the blank questions. He also gives 2 written extra credit questions
Professor Boyle is the best. If u dont understand,he will help you after class. He will teach you the necessary to the test. He is the best professor that at mdc.
Professor Boyle is easily the BEST professor I have taken. He cares about his students and really wants them to pass. The tests are a mix of multiple choice, fill-in-the blank and 2 extra credit short essay questions. He makes the class interactive by conducting experiments & strives to keep us all entertained. He remembers everyone's names too!
Professor Boyle has been an amazing and sweet professor during the Covid-19 Pandemic. He has put a lot of effort into learning the technology for an online class and does really great. He has many stories to tell, is funny, and teaches physics very well. There are a few mistakes in the textbook, but he is very easy to reach with any questions.
Tell me how I passed all the test and still ended up failing the class ? Somethings not right with this Professor
Prof. Boyle, makes what is normally a difficult subject to many, easy to learn and grasp. He also is a hilarious teacher and will make you laugh. He really cares about his students, as he is a teacher teacher, not a researcher teacher. If you actually do the optional HW and watch his pre-recorded videos on blackboard you will succeed in the class.
Don't be afraid to ask questions and be ready to participate. He will call your name. He doesn't want anyone to fail, he is funny in class because he knows physics is boring. He does the Homework problems in class. There are 4 Tests in the course. The better you score on the test the better Final grade you'll get.
Having Professor Boyle as my instructor for physics lecture and lab, is the best he teach physics good I enjoy the class.
Honestly the best Physics teacher you will ever take. He truly cares about his students and has all the patience in the world for his students. Don't be scared to ask questions and volunteer you get extra credit;). His Wife (Sidekick) is also very nice and try's to help as much as possible. Take this class, I highly recommend-BB!!!!!!
He's a very nice person, but he should have retired yesterday.
