I wouldn't say he is a easy teacher, but he really good at teaching. He is serious about the policy of his class, just study hard and u will have the result u want.

If you get his sense of humor, he makes you want to go to lecture. He comes off as a stern guy but is a softy heart, don't let him intimidate you. Do all the recommended problems, and understand the concepts, and you can get an A.

He is very passionate about physics. He is the teacher who inspired me to become a physicist. You do have to do hard work for this class but in return you learn a lot.

one of the most enjoyable classes I have ever taken, very knowledgeable and professional professor and treats students with a lot of respect.

I highly recommend him, you will learn new skills, including Excel, in a very enjoyable way. The class is also a lot of fun.

Amazing professor in all aspects, highly recommend him.

I really appreciated Dr's ability to break down the concepts in class and providing a balanced explanation of theory, examples, and applications. I highly recommend him for 230.

Be ready to work hard for this class and Dr. Gheith has his way of pushing you just right to study hard, which is good for you at the end of the day. I appreciated him taking the time to prepare worksheets and allowing us time to work on them in class then asking some same problems in the exams.

great class, fun and not so hard to get an A with Dr. G.

love it

He gives partial credit but if your solution is worthless then you don't get many points, which is fair. He is also committed to his teaching and will make the time to meet with the students when they need help and support.

The class will actually teach you not only a great deal of physics, but how to overcome difficulties in your academic career. Work hard, do not give up and you will be successful.

This class was incredibly hard - we started with around 40 students and 12 of us took the final. I had no idea if I would pass. You have to do the homework and show up to every lab and lecture or you don't stand a chance. The lecture problems are not really indicative of the exams, but there is usually a curve at the very end which may save you.

He gives plenty of extra credit and is very laid back and cool professor. At the end of taking the class, you will gain tremendous learning and tons of analytical thinking skills which you will need to succeed in the future. Take it, study hard, show up to lectures and office hours, participate in class and you will get what you want.

the class is a lot of fun and easy to get an A with Dr. G, highly recommend him.

He does a great job clarifying the concepts with demos in this difficult class. He gives worksheets almost weekly and exam problems come from the book and the worksheets. Curves at end of semester.

this class was a lot of fun, the experiments are fun and Dr. G is very helpful and flexible. He would give us a second chance to resubmit the lab report if we get a low grade. I highly recommend him.

Just as a disclaimer, Physical Science 112 is not an easy class, so taking it with the correct professor is key. I found Dr.G to be very inspirational and he added spice to a class that otherwise would've been dull. If you're willing to work your ass for the grade, take him. If not, move on. He gives alot of extra credit too.

I strongly recommend

This class was great, easy and fun with this professor. Very relaxed classroom environment and final was straightforward from worksheets.

Physics 230 is a hard class but taking it with Dr. Gheith making a whole difference. His lectures are fun and very interesting, he has an appealing style in explaining concepts and making them clear and relevant. He answers all questions you have so I really highly recommend him. I wished he taught 231.

Truly caring professor dedicated to helping students succeed. He treats everyone professionally with respect. Knowledgeable of Physics and he will answer all questions really well. Every week gives a take home problem for extra credit and grades on a curve. Lectures are amazingly balanced and interesting. Gives lots of extra credit. Great Prof

He's a good guy that cares about his students. Tests are hard, but he prepares you well and gives worksheets before every exam. Lots of extra credit, and there's a fair amount of curving that goes on behind the scenes at the end of the semester. Overall a solid choice, but by no means an easy A.

Dr. Gheith is an incredible professor. He has a way of making you think/approach problems in new and creative ways. Incredibly difficult but plenty of opportunities for extra credit. He doesnt curve until the end but its worth sticking it out!

A great professor and a great role model. He comes off as harsh or mean but once you start to understand his humor and personality you will realize he is a kind professor. Make sure to show him you care for his class and dont fall asleep!

excellent professor, capable to simplify the material, support and help every student even without asking for help and respect the difference between all the students.

Excellent professor, know how to simplify the material and so helpful and supportive to all the students

Professor Gheith is AWESOME!! I am an Elementary Education major so physics is not my favorite subject. But, Professor Gheith is helpful every step of the way. He wants every student to succeed. He is extremely helpful during class AND during office hours. If you put the effort into labs you will get an A on every lab! TAKE HIM! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

There is a lot of lecture to attend every week. He stresses to make sure his students are there multiple times a lecture. The homework load is not heavy, about a worksheet per week, along with notes from chapter in book. The occasional lab as well. Study hard for tests, come to class, and participate for extra credit. You can pass. Dr. G is cool.

Professor Gheith is humorous and friendly. It was difficult to focus for long periods of time but, he goes through each problem with you and provides specific examples. To get a good grade you MUST work the problems along during lecture, rework problems till you understand them, do the reading, and dive into the physics, but it's worth the effort.

Professor is a great teacher who will push you to be a better student. His class is rigorous, but showing effort in lecture and attending his office hour goes a long way with him. This is NOT an easy A class but if you're interested in the subject material you will find his class very rewarding. Final curve will help your grade, often a full lette

He has a good heart. His teaching style may not be for everyone that's probably why theres lots of bad reviews. If you're friendly you get in along w him. He enjoys jokes and fun people, but he is a tough grader. Do not leave class early, you will lose all credit on weekly labs worth a lot!!! final + presentation really easy just a powerpoint tbh

Genuinely cares about his students, lectures were very clear and detailed. The exams were not so hard like others said as I was not so familiar with science and took 18 units last semester but still got a good grade. Redo the problems he solved during the class and worksheets for the exams. Kind and knowledgeable person, One of my best professors!

Dr. G is amazing. I took his 129 class and it prepared me so well for phys-130. I know for a fact I'd be absolutely lost had it not been for his class. He explains problems and goes through the strategy to solve them. Sometimes tougher with grading, but with that said, he gives a LOT of extra credit opportunities. Participate & study. Worth it!

If it weren't for Prof G's 129 class I wouldn't have been doing so well in my 130 class. He makes you work for your grade however, he ensures that 130 will be a breeze for you. I still reference his lecture notes solely bc he explained concepts in a simple manner. would 100% reccomend

The class was short and graded on 4 worksheets and two quizzes. You must attend class and make sure to learn the material well during lectures. As long as you do this and ask questions, you will be fine. Professor G is extremely accommodating and is understanding. Just communicate.

His teaching style is very direct and expects you to know the material very well. Though he would be more than happy to help you and answer any questions you have. For the tests, make sure know how to solve problems (same exact Wksht ?s appear on the test) but know the concepts very well. He wants you to succeed and will prepare you for PHYS-230

Dr G's lectures are very good and he's very friendly with his students. He playfully jabs at them sometimes, but it's all in good fun. His tests are challenging, but fair. If you're taking Physics 129 for a free A, then he's not the one. But if you want to learn Physics and have a fun time doing it, then he's your guy.

Professor Gheith was a great teacher and mentor. He is very caring of all emergencies, and his lectures are super fun and understandable. He really makes sure you understand what you are doing and prepares you for PHYS-130

My favorite teacher! Walks you through concepts in lectures clearly and gives lots of example problems. Dr.Gheith is understanding and you can tell really cares about his students. Prepares you so well for Phys-130 and is helpful with answering questions. Gives lots of opportunities for extra credit and he doesn't try to trick you on tests

Professor Gheith was a great professor this semester! His lectures were engaging and our class had a lot of discussion back and forth on the topic that day. He would also walk us through a LOT of practice problems throughout the semester and especially before the final, which is what all of us needed. You just gotta stay on top of the weekly hmwk.

I took his Physics-129 last summer, and it was the best experience I had during my time at DVC. He's a very wholesome and humorous guy. I was impressed.

Professor Gheith knows this course inside and out. His worksheets are extremely useful for the quizzes and final. Participation during the lectures is very important for learning and extra credit. Very sarcastic and funny guy, will sometimes pick on his favorite students. He is very reasonable and fair, especially over the Summer.

Professor G made physics very accessible. I was really nervous entering this course b/c of the difficulty level and short time but he is a detailed and entertaining lecturer. All the quizzes can be studied for using the assignments and lecture notes. He is caring/wants his students to succeed, making sure to help those who need it along the way.

Amazing professor! He was funny and made lectures very interesting and easy to follow. Gave out extra credit like it was candy.

Dr. Gheith is a great professor, who makes class fun and enjoyable. He genuinely wants his students to succeed. I recommend going to his office hours if you need help. He gives out a lot of extra credit opportunities so try and participate! Although the material can be challenging, he makes the exams fair. Highly recommend taking him for PHYS121!

Dr. Gheith is one of the best professors I've experienced. He scares you of how intense physics is. But it's actually to push you further beyond your limit and make you a imrove. He really loves everyone and wants us to succeed. Dr. Gheith is the one to go if you want to learn physics.

Dr Gheith is absolutely amazing. I lacked so much physics at start. But now I can say I'm pretty confident in areas of Physics all thanks to him.

Easygoing professor with pretty straightforward labs, weekly attendance is crucial to ensuring full credit.

He is Awesome

He is a great professor. I love his style of lecturing, he is very clear and effective and tries to make the lectures fun. However, the class is hard, it's physics what do you expect? He does make the exams relatively easy. He does pick on students to encourage active engagement...

Professor G was probably my favorite professor at dvc so far. He jokes a lot and but also teaches you very well at the same time and I ended up learning a lot. However it is a tough class and lots of students ended up dropping. Some test literally had the exact same problems from the worksheets so make sure you understand those well.

PROFESSOR G IS MY FAVORITE PROFESSOR. His class is the definition of a positive learning environment. He cares so much about his students &makes such an enjoyable lecture. physics is hard so if you have no background in it I would definitely take it with him. I wish every teacher is as caring as he is. worksheets he would go over in class

Professor Gheith makes sure that his lectures are interesting and fun. Personally, I really enjoyed his lectures. The only problem was the final exam, which was much harder than expected.

Dr. G is the goat. As long as you show up and participate he makes physics fun and easy to learn. Great sense of humor. He gives minimal homework and makes the in class quizzes pretty easy. Grades the midterms a littler harsh. Is extremely willing to help you out and is almost always available outside of class. TAKE HIM.

Always looked forward to going to his lectures, he is such a funny guy. Very nice and understanding. Three midterms + final exam. Weekly quizzes are worth 9% of your grade. Homework assignments are similar to the questions on the midterms, so practice those. Getting help during his office hours helped my understanding of the material a lot.

Very inspirational teacher and high energy made a tough subject fun and really made me look forward to this class. I wish more teachers were like him

Very good professor, lectures were useful and professor was very helpful during office hours. 3 midterms and a final sounds like a lot but doing the homework really helps prepare.

The best professor you can ever have! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to take his class. Very understanding and willing to help his students succeed! Lectures are very engaging and informative! Exams and quizzes are super easy and definitely go to office hours! You will learn interesting things from his physics class.

Best Physics Professor at DVC! Very understanding and helps you with math related questions. I do recommend to take all his physics classes if required like 120+121 with him because it's the best class. Well respected and knowledgeable in every way possible! 100000% recommend!

Dr. G is the best physics professor I've ever had! He's genuine, funny, and very helpful in office hours. What I love the most about Dr. G is his ability to meet students where they're at along their journey. I would highly recommend that everyone take a course that he is teaching.

Honestly, Physics is very challenging for me, Professor Gheith was an outstanding teacher during lecture and office hours. He is confrontational with students and truly wants them to understand the material and succeed. Tests at times were difficult but contained problems very similar to homework. Can't recommend Mr. G enough he's honestly the best

Dr. G is the mother freaking goat!! He is the funniest and most engaging professor I've had at DVC. I absolutely hated physics 120 and was not excited for 121, but I couldn't have asked for a better 121 professor. Dr. G did an amazing job at making every student feel included, and all his lectures were super engaging, funny, and easy to understand!

Physics as a whole is tough, but Dr. G is a great teacher who will help you learn everything you need to know. With this in mind, you have to put in the effort to succeed since it is still a harder course

Physics is already a tough subject but Professor Gheith made sure to keep you engaged and help with the material. He's hilarious and he offers a lot of extra credit. He treated everyone in the class like friends and he made physics enjoyable.

Dr.G is probably hands down one of the best professors I've had. He genuinely cares about his students outside and inside of the classroom. He will always justify why he gave a grade. If you dont study in PHYS 121 then it is on you because Dr.G does everything in his power and has so many opportunities to do better and even EC. Dr.G is a Legend!!!

Dr G was the BEST professor I've ever had. He's so understanding and cares so much about his students. I highly recommend taking his class. Physics is hard but he does his best with trying to make it as simple as possible. His energy during lectures is top tier, im going to miss him so much!

Took his physics class over the summer and he was the best professor I've ever had so far! Prof. Gheith cares deeply about his students and his lectures were always entertaining. Physics is a hard subject, but he does his best to break things down and makes the material fun. Really funny guy, definitely going to miss him and his class!

Amazing Professor, I highly recommend taking him if you participate during lectures often as he always provides extra credit for anyone who's willing to take it everyday. He is also hilarious and the way he teaches really goes in depth with the content he's teaching. The only downside (not really) is that he has quizzes every week.

Professor G is a great professor that only wants the best for his students. That also means putting a lot of time and effort into understanding the material. Grades are exam heavy, and the worksheets usually help with tackling the exams. Great professor, but man did every test feel like preparing for war.

Excellent teacher. Fun. Involves everyone. Lectures were fun and informative. One of my favorite classes I've ever taken. Physics.

Absolutely my favorite class taken. Teacher is the best. Lectures are interesting and helpful. Dr Gheith is funny. Take him if you can. You won't regret it. Hope you're well teacher. Thanks for a fun class. Be well, stay healthy. JA

Professor G. Is a real one, by far one of my favorite classes I've taken purely because of him. He has a very strong bond with his classes and you can tell he loves what he does. He has an amazing sense of humor and isn't afraid to make fun of himself. It's important to remember that he WANTS you to succeed, and will do his best to make sure you do

I would say that Professor Gheith is a phenomenal professor to teach physics, and a respectable person that you can go to for advice about anything. You still need to study a lot to pass. A's in his class are earned, not given. Look at worksheets and clicker questions, and go to office hours. His classes are short and he has a lot to cover!

Great teacher. Had the most fun learning in his class out of all my classes at DVC. He was very funny and caring. I learned a lot from the class asking questions, collaborating with others, and going to office hours. For exams its important to go over the materials given such as clicker questions and worksheets.

goat A machine

Man, this guy is tough at first. But you will need that whether you like or not SO DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED. Taking a course with Dr G will prepare you for what lies ahead. And when you pass you will be extremely pleased with yourself. I can recommend Dr G over and over again- Fall 2025
