5 exams and a cumulative final so be ready to study a ton each week. Hilarious guy and he really cares about the students. Sure a lot of people end up with an A in his class, but are any of us biologists going to use physics?? Wille makes his class fair for this reason. Probably don't take if you're planning on doing the MCAT.

Dr. Wille is a great professor, his lectures are extremely interesting and never boring considering physics to be such a boring/ hard subject. Do not be intimidated by this class, just take good notes and RECORD HIS LECTURES is way to pass especially his exam reviews. He is extremely funny and knowledgeable. I took over summer i got an A+

He teaches well and is also very hilarious. He cracks funny jokes in class which makes him even more great. Take him if you're taking classes at FAU!!!
