Very caring and fun professor. Took precalculus with him at Fresno Pacific University and he was a very caring instructor. If something went down online and I wasn't able to complete the homework, he always reopened it and understood. He wanted to make sure the class was actually understanding the material.

Took this class over the summer and it was definitely tough but doable. Once you get the hang of the assignments and how the tests are done it is not that bad. I think this class in a normal semester would be enjoyable and would recommend it to anyone who is planning on taking it.

What I didn't learn in the lecture, I learned it from him. He is AMAZING at simplifying topics. He will give you all the foundation you need for each experiment before you start the lab work and leave the formulas you will need on the board. You don't need to finish the post-lab in the class but it is due by the end of the day.

I got an A in lecture and lab only because of him. If you're going to take Physics 2A, you NEED Inan as your lab instructor. If you can't get him, I pray you cook anyway. Sincerely, Hector.
