This professor is useless. His european accent is practically incomprehensible and overall he's not a very good teacher. He is very knowlegable but he is kind of a jerk because I had a FUNERAL to attend on the day of a test but he still would even consider giving me a retake.

Horrible Prof! He has a bad attitude and an incomprehensible accent. Dont bother with him when there are so many better options.

Horrible teacher. I went to every class and went to 6 hours of tutoring a week and still only got a B+. Half of the example problems he did on the board were wrong. Power points were pictures and tables copied directly from the book. He would stand there and read them, when the tables were completely irrelevant to the course.

Good luck passing this class. If it wasn't for the extra credit homework assignments and an AMAZING TA, there is no way I would have passed this class. When I went to his office hours for help he just got frustrated with me for not understanding. His practice tests are nothing like his exams because 'if they are similar then it would be cheating.'

If you can take another professor, do it. Lectures are abstract and have nothing to do with calculations. Practice exams are useless. Honestly the worst professor i have ever had. Exams have no questions from homework or lecture? He talked down to the class when we all did not do well. If you want to learn physics wait for someone else.

If you can avoid taking this professor, do it. Sometimes does practice problems incorrectly. Even when he does a practice problem correctly, he does it quickly and it's very difficult to follow. His exams are not similar to the homework, practice problems done during lecture, or even his practice exams. He's by far the worst professor I've ever had

By far one of the worst teachers I've ever had! He is super confusing, doesn't speak very clearly, and often gets confused during his own example problems. The only good thing is that he offers extra points on tests if you do the homework. Otherwise, I don't think I would have passed!

Smart guy.. Really crappy professor though... Lectures are not helpful and the tests are unnecessarily tricky.

He is probably the worst professor that I have had so far. His tests are so difficult and doesn't do well explaining his lectures. It is essentially pointless to go to class except that he does HW problems every so often which gives an answer. I accidentally marked the wrong form and he wouldn't change it, not an understanding prof whatsoever

Heavy accent and sometimes cracks jokes. However, he is unable to clearly convey physics to students trying to learn. He talks extremely generically about subjects that we learned in 8th grade physics. He does problems in class, few if any. Tests are graded out of 10 MC problems, so one wrong means 10% gone. The final was only out of 8.

5 test drop one. He give me 0 while i can get a 100 because i did not write the name and process on the paper which is not need to submit usually. I was confused why the TA collected my paper after glancing it, now i know. that is how they scatter degree. My solid A boomed.

Don't ever take him. I have no clue how he's still teaching here. In a 500 person lecture only 100 or so show up on a good day. If you want to pass watch Michel Van Biezen on YouTube unlike Milton he can actually teach you how to solve problems in a way you understand. You'll never understand his accent or his writing.

The tests are mostly about using formulas and being able to calculate problems through tons of math. He rarely goes over examples that has to deal with these questions on the test and always spends most of the time explaining how each equation is derived which is no help at all. Trust me I show up to every lecture, this happens every day.

Be ready to read from the book to understand the material as needed. Sometimes his lectures won't cover everything he expects you to know in the test but if you are able to do the HW problems + the optional ones you'll be fine.

I show up to every lecture for every class until I came upon this one. Showing up won't help you on the tests. No amount of studying will help you on the tests. Don't bother showing up if you don't want to waste your time.

Tough class, I don't know whats harder; trying to teach yourself physics at this level or going to class and decipher this mans work and explanations. about 40 people go to class out of 500 after the first week. Bright side only need a 200/400 to get a flat C (guy knows this is ridiculous). follow his "rules" or you'll fail.

Lectures had no resemblance to those terrible test he hands out. Hope you're good at multiple choice

Get ready to get rekt. Pearson hw is trash, lectures do nothing to inculcate the material. Overall, take this class elsewhere.

This class is horrible. the lectures are pointless and the tests are unbelievably hard. there is really no good way to study for the tests because the questions will be way harder than the homework. the practice tests are sometimes helpful but you dont even get one for the final. if youre gonna pass you MUST DO THE HOMEWORK the points are crucial

just horrible, material confusing as hell. his teaching is non-comprehensible. and the tests are the worst system ever designed, the whole test is 5 multiple choices questions where you need to show 100% of your work. if you chose the right answer but did 70% of the work you'd get ZERO for the question. 20% of the test just gone, no partial credit.

all of my friends and I have retaken this class because this guy makes physics so hard to understand. he literally does the most at all times and just sucks. his tests are hard af and are nothing like the homework, literally do whatever you can to not take this class with him. transfer schools. But he is the only p196 professor at sdsu so goodluck

Terrible professor. Literally nothing you can study off of. His lectures are useless and the homework is only useful for finding the formulas that you'll use on the exam. Good luck.

Honest review for avg joe: all the reviews below me are TRUE. So i will give tips on how to actually pass the class. Chegg has saved me many times throughout college &this is one. Do the hw it's for EC. Get creative with your cheat sheets and "show work" for everything you can. If its blank they take ur test & scantron and give 0 credit. gluck

SOMEONE ELSE needs to take over. He will spend 95% class deriving equations --not actually applying them. Chegg saves lives. How do you expect us to know how to do something if you don't show us? He's discouraging too, telling you to drop the class, and saying you have no future in STEM. Tests are MC, 5Q, 20 pts each. Need to show ALL work.

he is not understanding at all the test closed on me while i was doing it i contacted him he didnt reply until the few hours passed by and he refused to re-open the test i would not recommend him at all and the way he discourage the students is awful

Physics is difficult and this professor didn't make it any easier. He posted many recorded lectures, but they didn't always feel very helpful. Maybe he's a better prof in person. The tests were hard and never felt like I had enough time. Luckily, we were allowed to drop 1 test including the final and 2 hw. Only need to do 70% of hw for full credit

Prof. Sundqvist was substituting for Prof. Torikachvili during my semester. He only posted mediocre pre-recorded lecture videos from Prof. Torikachvili. Watch Prof. Matt Anderson's videos on YouTube to learn the material. Your grade is made up of HW and exmas. He drops the lowest exam and HW. There is a huge curve, you only need a 51% to pass!

horrible professor overall. Lectures were completely useless and I had to learn everything by myself. Im paying thousands in tuition just to end up watching youtube tutorials to learn. SDSU needs to get rid of this guy asap.

He is not very good at making students truly understand the material. He assigns so many practice problems and assumes we actually have the time to do them. It is difficult, but it is possible to pass.

Just don't do it

Lectures don't make sense and the exams are insanely hard. Good luck if you forgot to put an equation on your equation sheet for exams because he does not give that information to students. If you want to pass this class make sure that you read the textbook.

This guy is nice enough but his lectures are so garbage as he spends so much time talking about derivations, and sometimes doesn't even finish his examples. The tests are pretty difficult, 10 questions multiple choice with one being out of 7 so one wrong grade explodes. Very easy to pass though as the threshold for a C is massive.

I basically taught myself. Lots of homework. Tests are insanely difficult and confusing, completely different from the homework and there is no partial credit for procedure, if you miss even a sign but your procedure is good you will get it wrong even though you know the material. Bad lecturer, boring class, easy to pass with a C with half points.
