He gave excellent illustrations throughout the semester. Difficult class but very entertaining.

Mark's a good teacher. He has help sessions every week to prepare you for test. Also he gives you a sheet with equations on it for the test. Everything needed is on the sheet. If you have any equations solving skills it's an easy A

He is overall a great teacher but his tests are hard!

For the most part, I enjoyed being in Mr. Worthy's class. While some may consider him difficult, it is possible to achieve an A, but that my include many, many hours studying. I think he teaches pretty well, and his tests are generally fair and not as difficult as he could make them.

no one can retell a darwin award like this man. i love him.

Mark is an excellent teacher! I would recommend him to anyone taking the course! He brings relevant examples to class to show what it is he is teaching, which makes learning the material that much easier and that much more enjoyable. When studying for the test I simply studied my notes from class because the book confused me on several occasions.

I took Physics and AP Physics in high school, so I found the class relatively easy. If you're good at physics I would take Mark Worthy. If you're not, find another professor. However, he is pretty funny and gives good example problems in class. He gives out a good amount of homework. Test questions are just like homework problems.

He's a very entertaining teacher, doesn't need his notes to teach, and his tests are fair. Not the most approachable guy, but he's always willing to help. Work and REWORK the homework problems, and an A is not easy but very attainable. That's what I did, and I had never taken physics before. Solid teacher - was my favorite class all semester.

Mark is a great teacher, and lots of fun. He assigns homework for ever class, and if you do it, there is no reason you can't get an A in the class. He is very sarcastic, but it makes it more interesting. If you have any problems, he is more than willing to help you understand it. But don't ask for help if you are not going to class.

He uses good examples and is extremely good about knowing what will trip you up. His constant cursing and humor keep the class interesting. He's somewhat curt and to the point, but I found this good. He's efficient, effective, and you learn; I definitely recommend.

I like physics and learned so much in his class. The downside, which far outweighs the upside, is that, while you may learn, the tests are more like 4000 level tests. They are EXTREMELY difficult. They are in no way Physics 1 tests. Also, expect more homework than grains of sand on the beach. Very sarcastic. Take physics at a junior college!!

Great professor. He is funny and keeps the lecture interesting. Gives great concepts and demonstrations of the topic. Will work any problem to an extent if you ask. If you want help you have to show you deserve it. 4 open notes quizzes. Tests are fair and gives partial credit to wor out problems.

He gives partial credit on tests which really helps, but giving partial credit means you wait longer to get your grade back. His lectures are interesting most of the time. Be prepared with questions when you come to class about the homework so you can see how the problems are worked.

I had him for Physics 1 (cal-based). Yeah, his class is tough, but he gives plenty of homework (that he curves 33% by the way) to balance out your grade. He's kind of funny and he will work example homework problems for you. But he doesn't post notes or anything online so showing up for class is for the best.

Dr. Worthy is an excellent teacher. His lectures explain the material well and he offers review sessions before every test and he curves homework generously so that you are pretty much guaranteed a 100% in that category. The subject matter itself is difficult and his tests are short so its tough to earn an A, but he curves at the end.

Physics I isn't an easy class, and if you don't put any effort into studying or homework you're going to have a hard time, but Mark Worthy is amazing at explaining physics concepts in a way that makes it genuinely fun to go to class. The tests are basically just homework problems, so if you know what you're doing you'll do fine.

He's a very quirky guy. He doesn't get very personal in class. You can tell he knows A LOT about physics and loves the subject. He is a GREAT teacher. The class is hard, so the tests are hard. If you go to class, do the homework, and study then you should be able to make at least a B. There aren't many grades in the class so you have to be carful.

If you took physics in high school, definitely take him for physics I if you can. Otherwise, stay far far away. He goes really quickly and assumes that you understand what he just said and moves one. He's tough, but you will learn.

This class is very hard and Worthy is not one to take things slow. You have to work hard in order to get a good grade in his class. He tells you everything to know for tests, but does not like to waste any time. Make sure you understand the homework and if you have questions, be very specific as to what you don't understand.

Great choice for physics! Class is always interesting. Usually brings in items to demonstrate concepts and goes over homework questions every class. Typically had 2 online assignments each week. Tests make up most of grade but will shift weights if you do good on the final.

He loves physics and makes lectures interesting with demonstrations. Lots of homework. Go to class. Tests and grading are fair.

Very good at explain every concept using a lot of examples. There is a lot of homework, but it is useful in learning the material and he curves your homework grade. The tests are difficult, but if you study hard it is fair.

His class is pretty interesting, especially when it comes to the cool demonstrations and his humor. Teaches concepts in a more understandable way than most physics teachers. He assigns a lot of homework(which is curved), but doing it is necessary to get a good grip on the subject. Fairly hard class as it's fast paced but I definitely recommend him.

Physics is tough in general, but Professor Worthy is a good teacher. He can be witty at times, but also rude. Don't ask dumb questions unless you want to get roasted. If you want to do well, my advice is to do the HW and rework it before each test. Worthy isn't the nicest guy, but if you put in the work, you can do well.

I was worried about taking physics at MSU, but Mark Worthy became one of my favorite teachers this semester. The class is very hard, and you WILL have to work for a decent grade. However, he is an excellent teacher and clearly has a passion for what he does. He gives a lot of homework, but this means by test time you will know how to do it.

Makes physics about as easy as it can get. You still have to work for it though.

Loved physics 2 with him. He gives great examples that help you remember things. Will work out homework problems, and the homework is great practice for the test. I learned a lot in this class and recommend him to anybody who wants to learn physics. Be ready to take lots of notes.

A little rough around the edges, but will help you. Just be brave enough to ask for him to do a homework problem youre struggling with and this class will be your easiest.

Great professor. He explains things well.

If you have to take physics at MSU, Worthy is probably your best choice. He can be a bit condescending at times, but he is a really great teacher.

Physics at Mississippi state is pretty rough, but Worthy is probably your best option. He is a good teacher, but he can seem rude at times.

not sure why this man has such a low rating, he's great! I personally thought he was hilarious and teaches better than any other professor in physics department here at msu. the whole department is a joke but he makes me believe different.

He's a really great professor as long as you put in the effort to do well in the class. I didn't pay as much attention as I should have and received a low grade in the class, which was completely on me. He's really interactive and assigns quite a bit of homework that's entirely to your benefit. Use your notes and homework as an opportunity to grow.

Worthy's a cheerful guy who does his best to make lectures engaging. He can seem condescending at times and isn't the best at accommodating special circumstances, but he does a great job of explaining concepts.

As someone who never took Physics in highschool I got better at it as time passed. He made the lectures fun with demonstrations and talked alot about real world examples. Expect to study alot. Overall good experience.

Worthy does a good job at making his lectures enjoyable and explaining problems from the HW. There is a lot of HW, and it will consume a lot of your time. Go to SI, it can be very helpful to see problems from class a 2nd time. His tests are reasonable and are not overly difficult. Go to class, he does not post his lectures anywhere at all.

He is a great lecturer and really wants his students to know physics. He's not a very sympathetic guy whatsoever, so try not to take any crude remarks personally. He does great examples for the students and can be pretty funny. The class is very challenging and he does his best to prepare you for the tests. There is also a ton of homework.

Dr. Worthy is an incredible teacher. His lectures are very concise and will not hesitate to go over any homework problems that you might have. You will have to come to class to get the notes, as they are not posted anywhere else. He is a very funny man who makes learning difficult subjects easier.

He is very passionate about the subject and does many demonstrations in class. Much of the class is working out confusing hw questions which really helps with the material. There is a LOT of homework, around 2-3 assignments per chapter, but the tests come from the hw so it's to your advantage. He is probably the best option you have for physics.

Best physics 1 prof you're gonna get. He tries to make lectures as interactive as possible. Best advice for test is to rework the hw.

Worthy is a straight shooter. He knows a lot, and expects students to put work in to do the same. There is lots of homework, but it is very helpful in understanding the material. The book is important because there is material from the book that will be on the test. He also loves to show examples during lectures which are very helpful.

Great professor! Gets some negative feedback, but that's just because physics is very difficult. Graded on HW, 3 tests, and a final. You must rework the homework and put in lots of study time to succeed, but that is just for physics in general! Worthy did a ton of HW problems in class and demonstrations, which helped understand the material.

Listen physics here is not easy look up the fail rate: MSU Public Grade Destitution. He teaches so well. His lectures are well drawn out and executed well. He is always angry and is always annoyed with slow people. Prepare yourself and study every night. I failed once and passed with him. He is for sure your best option in PH2213. Wagner is great 2

He is the best we've got but that's not saying much. Okay, genuinely he explained the material and answered questions. I also MUCH prefer his pacing over the other professors'. He can just be a little abrasive at times. If you can take him, take him.

Quintessential professor for the PH department to my knowledge, but really abrasive. He lectures pretty well, and I enjoy tangential but applicable topics he sometimes comments on. That said, he has an entrenched attitude about his teaching: there are stupid questions and doing the minimum, even with good grades, will get you no respect from him.

Dudes goated. I'm not sure what these reviews are but I took him for honors physics and he was very good at answering questions. He was also pretty funny during class during his tangents. He can be course but thats just his personality.

He rocks and anyone that tells you otherwise is too sensitive and never played sports. If you aren't a panzy he's the guy for you

One of my favorite professors I took this semester. He can come across as standoffish and abrasive at first, but if you go to his office hours and demonstrate a desire to work hard and do well in the course, you will find he has a soft spot. If you go to class and spend time working the homework problems YOURSELF, you will do well.
