Awesome Professor, helped me prep with MCAT

Lets just put it this way, I learned more from his class when I was a senior than I did in an equivalent physics course at UC-Irvine. I highly recommend him as a teacher. Very effective in teaching the concepts.

Prof. Mike is one of the best prof I have come across ever since my high school years. AND ITS A GREAT THING. Prof. Mike is an amazing teacher, extremely intelligent, easy going, great teaching ethics, great sense of humour, and a great human being.

Great teacher, very nice! Put's students first. Lots of extra credit opportunities. I took the telecourse but did meet in class once a week.

this guy has a very good sense of humor, very intelligent guy, does his ultra best to make sure the student understands the material, highly recommended.

Great teacher. Very fair in grading, and gives clear lectures. Teaches at the students' pace. His exams are straightforward and he allows you to drop your worst of three midterms.

Great professor. Tests were easy and straight forward. Got A's in both Ast 10 and Physics 2A. Clear lectures. He allowed a page a note for exams so don't need to memorize a lot. Highly recommended. He's also fun and understanding

Class was hard. But surprisingly i got an A. He curved all the midterms and majority of the class failed all the midterm's. But after the curve most of the class would have passed. You must read the textbook ahead of his lecture to understand what he's lecturing about. Trust me read it and dont procrastinate !

He is a great teacher. You just have to go to class everyday take notes because his tests are off the lectures which are mostly covered in the book. His tests are not multiple choice but written questions and he can tell if u are BSing or not. If you go to class everyday there should not be a problem passing.

interesting lectures at the beginning, boring at the end. lots of hw assignments/readings that are useless on the tests. tests are not easy, but if you put something down he'll give partial/half credit. overall, a reasonably fun, interesting class with a knowledgeable teacher, but you'll have to really try hard if you want an A.

Masuda's lectures are very interesting and class goes by pretty fast before you know it. This semester, he is taking us to the observatory a lot and is quite enjoyable. His exams are straight-forward, most of them are based on the lectures and some are in the textbook. His class is interesting and worthwhile. Recommended if you want to learn.

Professor Masuda is really cool. I really like him. At first he seems all hard and plus I HATE SCIENCE! But i stayed till the end of the semester and passed with a B. I didn't go to class most of the time, well i did but i leave really early. DO ALL YOUR HOMEWORK (even if you A's your test) you must do the hw to get a high grade. I got D's on the t

Seriously..I gotta love his class. I never taken Physics until now. I thought this was gonna be a long, dull class. Boy, was I wrong. He makes an exciting environment with fun labs. Learning while have fun. Do all your work and take GOOD notes. You'll pass the class

Masuda is one of the best professors at EVC. He breaks everything down so that students can comprehend the material.I highly recommend him if you want to undertand Physics, makes it fun and interesting!

fun class, highly recomended

Mike is a great teacher. I had no interest in Astronomy, but really enjoyed this class. He explains things well, and if you are having trouble understanding something, he will take the time to explain it until you do. Recommend Highly!

Mr. Masuda is an excellent teacher. He is VERY helpful and explains thoroughly. He answers all of your questions and is willing to help out during and after class. He understands that not everyone learns at the same level so he takes his time when explaining the material. I highly recommend him. He is the best teacher at EVC

Very easy and the lab is fun because he will let you do anything you like after you are done with the assignment of the day.

I would highly recommend Professor Masuda. He made Physics come to life and easily demonstrated the textbook concepts through lectures, labs, and online demonstrations. With his passion for the subject, the class was interesting and he is always willing to help. A useful resource.

I love this professor highly recommend him! He's one of the best professors at EVC. He's funny, energetic, outgoing, understanding. Physics 01, was not of my interest but he made it interesting! Take him he curves

He makes the material so easy to understand

One of the best professors I've ever had. He's super nice, makes the class interesting, a cool guy to talk to, and is pretty nice with his grading. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.

Dude used to work at NASA. He knows his stuff and then some. Teaches it in a fun hands on practical way that you will understand. If you take any other teacher your a fool. One of the best professors I've ever seen.

I looked forward to going to his class. Great guy always encouraging curiosity and to use your noggin. I just wrapped up the class three days ago and I already miss it all kinds. Highly recommended. Make sure to attend class, do hw, be curious, and you'll pass smooth sailing.

super fair. super clear. super helpful. funny. no homework, read the book, take some notes. show up. tests are not too bad because he gives a study guide and reviews

Fantastic teacher!! Go to class, do the labs, and not only will you do fine, but you will learn some really cool things! Highly recommend him!!

Astronomy is a drab subject, but Masuda makes it pretty bearable. A former NASA employee, he is VERY knowledgeable and my favorite part of class was when he'd answer questions off-the-cuff. You'll write journals but he is a very lenient grader. If you take night class, you may get to use the telescopes on Montgomery Hill.

I loved learning about Physics! Mr. M made everything around us on how things worked and kept me on my feet to learn more. Labs were fun and worked as a group. He gives extra credit with participation when he asks for it and if you correct him on something he will also give extra credit. He also lets you create your own cheat sheet for tests.

This was my first time taking a community college course over summer and somehow I ended up choosing Astronomy. The professor was pretty awesome , in my opinion, and I enjoyed the learning experience :)

He is super nice and will take the effort to help you understand if you ask. It was over the summer, so the course went by really quickly, but his lectures were pretty clear and he used fun demonstrations/examples to get through four hours. Lectures were based off the textbook slides. Steady amount of work but doable.

He is a great teacher, gives dope feedback. Go to office hours tho

He's a wonderful teacher! Very smart and funny. He's well organized, and provides a resources on the lesson. He's a decent person, and easy to talk to if you need help.

Had him for both 010 & 010L. Professor Masuda/Master Masuda is an awesome professor whose love for the worlds beyond ours is quite contagious. He is very good at explaining theories involved with the expansion of the universe and he has a few really good jokes to share. He likes to curve his exams and is really helpful when it comes to questions!

He's the best Physics prof at EVC. His lectures are very inspiring and make you want to learn more. His labs are very fun and lab reports get full credits as long as you turn them in. His exams are easy if you read the textbook and do hw. He grades super easily and gives partial credits. He also curves the grades, so you can't get bad grades.

Good professor, I took the class in the summer so the work load and difficulty level was insane compared to any of my previous classes. But he managed to explain most things well and I didn't usually get bored in class. Would recommend him for physics. Just wish he wouldn't use Pearson's Mastering Physics website

Nice professor who knows his stuff! Lectures drag on, the online homework access code was expensive, but he will answer any questions you have. Pay attention, show up, and you'll pass. The group project was a bit bothersome so don't procrastinate.

He is a good professor. He explains proofs and is okay in lectures. The labs help explain concepts taught in lecture. The homework is done on Mastering Physics, which is fairly easy. The exams are based on textbook problems. Those problems are not assigned so make sure to do them on your own time. His class is somewhat easy to understand but study!

Prof. Masuda does a really good job explaining concepts. The labs are very clear. The group project seemed daunting at first, but with some research and putting out a bit of time each week to work on it, it's very possible to do well. MasteringPhysics hw tedious but helps you learn. Tests based on challenging problems on Mastering & textbook.

Made physics much easier. Knows subject well. Too much hw in summer class. Could not keep up. Lectures long but very helpful. Lab is fun.

BEST science teacher ever! He is funny and teaches everything soooo clear. If you ever need help just ask and he will be there. I recommend you take this class if you want the easiest A++++ of your life!!!!

Masuda was a super cool professor that had fun labs and interactive lectures with outside demonstrations. I had him over the summer so he was more lenient on grading, because he gave A LOT of assignments over the summer. My summer was pretty much a physics summer with nothing but homework and lab reports, but other than that the class was fun.

Honestly, as long as you go to class every day, you'll be fine. Your overall grade is on a curve, so as long as you do decently on the midterms and final (which you should since you get a cheat sheet), you'll pass, even if you don't turn in the homework.

Super awesome prof teaches the material very well. Tests can be easy if you work hard, do textbook problems and ask a lot of questions. Online can be real tough but try your best to pay attention. He curves almost everything and the class can be full of bad grades but just keep trying your best and youll pass.

I took his class during summer. It has lots of hw. Being summer it is very fast paced. If you want to take it during summer I would suggest not taking any other class as there is a lot of work if you really want to understand the subject and do well in the tests. He knows the subject inside out and is very passionate about teaching! Good professor!

He is a very standard teacher. Gets side tracked sometimes, and end of semester theres a bit of a rush to jam chapters in for the final. Dont expect him to be on schedule. Its honestly not too bad the tests are pretty much just the homework with a new coat of paint and the discussions are self explanatory. Do the homework and youll be fine.

all cool... until the end. This teacher is good at what he does, very understandable to the point of side railing. It was until the end of the course that he bombarded us with all the chapters for the end of the exam. Very stressful. Otherwise he is super solid. 10/10 cadence.

He was a basic teacher, I think he really enjoyed people asking questions in class. He's passionate, but gets derailed so we were behind on curriculum and had to do a lot of self study. If you are good at self study and ready to sit through lectures, take his class, he's not bad. Super interesting guy, try to ask questions in class.

Great professor, he has a passion for astronomy and makes learning about it fun. Just be prepared to take the time to understand concepts and study and it's a great class.
