Good class, the professor goes fast so it helps to read a chapter ahead so you can understand the lecture. While his "review" is only 10+ practice questions, it's most important to listen to him when he goes over it because that is where you are going to get the most info about what will be on the test. he's obviously passionate about physics.

I really loved this class even though I didn't think I would! I came into the class dreading physics cause its like physics you know, but I'm excited about all the physics he showed us. You do have to spend a few hours each week during homework, not an easy grade, for sure, but if you get into working at it its like you learn a lot for sure! :)

Doesn't care, I had to drop because of a hw grade, we did group work and used the solution Manuel to get by, over 80 difficult problems due by test day, he encourages drops. Gives a 10 point curve to your final grade, I wouldn't recommend him if you actually want to learn as we covered a chapter and a half every class in the spring. Go else where.

Tests are tough. Also assigns a tedious amount of homework problems and you would have to rework them out if you want to do really well on the exams. He obviously wants you to treat this class as if it's the only class you're taking. This isn't the class to slack off.

Worst professor ever who can't teach. Likes to waste time by giving out example problems and let you sit there for long periods of time when those times wasted obviously could've been used to further teach to make the materials more easier and understandable. Tests are nowhere like the homework. If you have weak physics background, don't take.

It is clear that Nathan Bezayiff does not enjoy teaching, in fact it is difficult to understand how he became a college professor. He does not know how to teach. Instead of explaining concepts, he gives 2 or 3 example problems for students to solve on their own while he uses his computer for the majority of the class. Useless. You're on your own.

You will be teaching yourself this course. Bezayiff teaches you nothing new and explains the bare minimum. He does not go into the concepts or give many real life examples. If you have some solid physics experience however, this is the teacher for you. All he does is example problems and if you do all the homework and watch youtube vids, you gucci

He assumes that because he understands what he's taught, so must everyone else. He passes out sample problems and gives 20 minutes to work on them, when you often didn't understand the lecture well enough to solve them. While his visual aids are good, and he clearly knows his stuff, his explanations of the formulas are too fast-paced and confusing.

You'll work yourself crazy to pass. Lectures and labs are almost entirely irrelevant to exam questions. It's crucial to show up for all labs and do all homework to supplement failing exam grades. If you don't have a strong physics education already in place, your only hope is outside tutoring. Prof is unrealistic and has little faith in students.

Pretty easy as long as you do the HW and come to class. Saves lots of time in class to help you individually. Answers lots of HW Q's in lecture, bring the Q's with you to class. The people that whine don't want to do any work at all or are usually rude and feel entitled to skip class; they just want an easy grade. Very clear explanations.

Dr Nate is a nice guy that is good at teaching a really tough course. There is huge amounts of homework pulled straight from the book, but he doesn't grade you on the answers, only that the effort to solve was there. His example problems in class help a lot, but you absolutely need to study out of class.

Do not take this professor in the summer if you wanna drown in homework and be stuck with a teacher who can't teach. He doesn't explain the course that well and you'll be going home confused and with tons of homework for that day. If you're confused in day 1, you'll be more confused in day 2 , then it all piles up.

Dr. Bezayiff is one of the best teachers I've ever had! His class is definitely one you have to work hard in but if you put in the work, he'll do everything to help you! I took him for both 1401 and 1402 and they were a lot of work but I definitely have a good understanding of the concepts. Go to all the lectures, take notes and do the homework.

Dr. Bezayiff gave a lot of hw but it was worth it bcus it helped me understand the material better. I recommend staying after lectures & asking questions. He will stay after class to help you if you put in the effort. This also prevents the work from piling up when it's all due. PS. If you take 1410, really study for exam #2 bcus its the hardest.
