Tough but fair professor, he gives you every opportunity during class to ask questions if you don't understand and spends about half of it going over example problems that will certainly be on all the short answer tests with different variables. Avoid if you're looking for easy.

Excellent Professor. He opened my eyes in physics and in science in general. He is very clear and his lectures are very interesting. I recommend him, his class is lot of fun.

At last! Someone who doesn't teach like this is high school! Best prof I've ever had. He is very very clear. Likes to make you think, so it's not an easy ride, but he'll go out of his way to help you understand. Some people are scared of him, but he's a sweatheart. And he's funny, too.

Take this class if you want to learn physics! Most People are put off by him because he demands that you understand whats going on. Not a professor that simply gives you a few equations then asks you to plug and chart. Graet teacher, Very fair grader and plenty of opurtunity to do well. Recomended for science majors.

No free ride in this class, you will work hard. do ALL assigned homework, chapter examples & his lecture examples and u will be very prepared for his exams. DONT CRAM, u'll be killed. DONT BE SHY & sit there confused. ask questions in class & during his office hours. He wants you to learn, not just memorize formulas & blindly apply them.

He is a good guy and wants you to learn. Gives cool examples and explains how stuff works. I did not think his class would be interesting but I really enjoyed it. If you pay attention in class and take good notes the class is not bad at all and the exams are very fair. Would definitely recommend him

Very good. I learned a lot. He requires you to work, but his exams are straight out of the notes and homework -- study that and you will get an A. If you cannot do the homework, he is very very helpful during office hours, as long as you have at least tried the homework yourself beforehand.

His class is very difficult, especially the examinations. If people are not good at math and don't have much understanding, please think about it before you take him. For smart students, of course, they will learn a lot outside the textbook. However, he is a nice grader.

He's a tough grader and doesn't cut a lot of slack on tests so if you want/need an easy A then you should avoid him at all costs, but if you want to know your stuff then he's definitely an excellent teacher and you'll be glad you took him. He knows his stuff cold, he takes the time to answer questions, and he gives good explanations

This teacher is really good! Yes he is not an easy A and you need to work hard. But he will help you as much as you need if you are willing to put in the effort!! His explinations are clear and easy to follow, but doing the work is just as important. I recommend him highly to those of you that are not affraid of some hard work. you will get an A..

The best

You have to work very hard to pass. Demands a lot. BMCC is a community college. Organized, very clear and very helpful. Hard homework and Tests. Very fair final. Fair grader. If your math is no good, run. Great, if you want to go to a four year college. Else, run. Just passed, like most others.

Excellent. I was really scared of Physics. He made it easy. He was very clear in class and very helpful in his office. Thank you so much prof.

The best science professor at BMCC. Clear expectations and even clearer explanations. Difficult homework and tough grading. He is professional, nice and extremely helpful outside class. Excellent preparation for Med school. You get your money's worth and you do not waste your time with him. I wish BMCC had more professors like him.

The best there is. Got an easy A. I talked to him in his office and just read his notes. Not as tough as he seems to be. Highly recommended.

Brilliant guy. Tough but fare. He tests from the homework and class discussion. Three fare tests and an Ok final. Not an easy grader though. Labs are Ok but kind of boring. Go to his office as he is very nice and helpful there. Several of us got an exemption from the final and an A. Great to talk to about science after class.

Great teacher. Very clear. Tests from his notes. Very helpful outside class time. Makes physics relevant to our lives. Nice and encouraging.

Great

This is a very hard class. The professor is excellent. He is crystal clear and always willing to answer questions. Very helpful in his office too. The tests rely on the homework which is a big challenge. Extra credit problems are given in the exams only. Avoid if you want an easy A. Great for graduate school though.

This is an awesone class. I hated science before and was really afraid of physics. But the prof. makes the class fun. Lots of discussion and he tests from this discussion and his notes. Almost nobody has dropped, rare at BMCC. Many of us are getting an A. Awesone prof. Very highly recommended.

Excellent professor. He connects everything he teaches with our lives. Answers all questions and then some. Quite funny too. He is very modest but seems to know a lot. The greatest any college could ask for.

This guy teaches the hardest class at BMCC. His Tests are very hard but they are from the homework. Tough grader too. I am now at a senior college and I do appreciate his teaching style. He is great if you want to go to med school as he cuts no corners. If you just want an easy grade, avoid at all costs.

I agree with the previous comment. The best at BMCC. I am now at a 4yr college and I am tutoring in Physics thanks to him. He treats students with respect and has high expectations of them. He is very helpful, supportive and accessible 24/7 through email. The greatest, for serious students going to a professional program.

The best. Take him at all costs if you want to do well in a 4 year college. If you want an easy A avoid him.

Awesome. He connects everything he does with real life. He tests from his notes. Mostly word problems. Definitely go to his office and talk to him. I was scared of physics before him but did great. I wish I could take another course with him.

The best! He will explain to you all the physics definitions with real life examples. Ready to help always, in his office, in class or through e-mail. Follow the syllabus and your will be great. Take him!

Nice and supportive. A real sweetheart, if you talk to him. Encouraging and understanding. Builds your confidence. Do great in his Tests and he may exempt you from the final with an A. It happened to me ! Thanks prof.

Oh man ! You have to study real hard to do well in his course. No multiple choice tests. Extra credit problems only in tests. Not the easiest grader. BUT very clear and helpful if you show to him that you try. He teaches for 4 year college and demands a lot. Take at all costs if serious. Avoid like the plague if you want an easy A.

Awesome. Take all his classes.

Very nice !! Follow what he says in class, do some of the homework and you will get an A. Not the easiest class but he is an excellent teacher. Very easy to talk to especially in the labs. He connects everything he teaches to real life. You have to study but you do not have to kill yourself to get an A. Take him !!!!

The best there is. Take at all costs !!!

Great teacher. Very clear and extremely knowledgeable. Very helpful too. Follow what he says and you will do great if you study a little. I talked to him and he explained what he expected and suggested how to study. I got an A and raised my GPA. I wish BMCC had more profs. like him. Very highly recommended.

Awesone !!!!!!

I expected this course to be easy since I have an Ivy League degree. I was pleasantly surprised. This prof. is one of the most knowledgeable and professional instructors. One of the greatest teachers I have ever met. He cared a lot about the students and was always supportive, available and willing to help. Take at all costs or you are missing out

The hardest class ! To do well make certain that you do the homework he assigns as the tests are from there. A lot of xtra credit in the tests but not easy. He treats students with respect but cuts no corners. Very nice if you talk to him. He will go out of his way to help you if you show that you try. I failed a test but still got an A.

Teaches as if everybody wants to go to a 4yr college. Your math must be really good to do homework. Tests are essay. Most problems are from homework. Labs are easy. No curving. No multiple choice. No dropping of lowest grade. Extra credit in Tests only. Extremely nice guy. Not an easy A. Great european education at bmcc price. Take only if serious!

This was one of the most enjoyable courses I have ever taken. Physics is not easy but he is so clear, fair, down to earth and helpful that it was fun to be in class. He connects everything to real life. He is one of the smartest people but very modest. Funny too. Many of us got an A. Take him, no matter what.

The instructor is nice and supportive but rigorous and not an easy grader. His tests are mostly from the homework but not easy. He does not drop the lowest grade nor he gives multiple choice. He is a superb teacher with great knowledge. He is even funny. Great if you are willing to work hard to go to a four year college. Not an easy A, but doable.

Very nice !

Great prof. Some are scared of him but he is really nice. Very clear. He connects the concepts with real life. Hard tests full of math but a lot of extra credit. Especially helpful in his office hours. Treats students with respect and demands a lot. Take his class if serious else avoid at all costs.

This is a very tough course taught by one of the best teachers at bmcc. The material is very dense and hard to grasp. The professor is doing a great job at explaining the concepts. However the course moves too fast. He definitely cares about his students learning and he is available for help especially by e-mail. Preview of a four year college ?

Tough course. Hard tests but from the homework. Lots of extra credit. He cares about solutions rather than final answers. His course can give you nightmares unless you study real hard. The clearest and most knowledgeable prof. Very friendly and helpful. The greatest if you are serious, else avoid like the plague. The most challenging course ever.

The best teacher for a very hard class. Very nice and helpful especially in his office hours. If you show him that you really try he will go out of his way to help. Tests are from the homework but not easy. Fair grader. Exceptional clarity and mastery of the material. In the same league as my former Ivy professors. Take him or you are missing out.

The hardest class at bmcc. Very nice and helpful although he may appear rough. Very respectful of the students and caring about their needs and goals. I went regularly to his office and finally got an A although I bombed my first test! Great for medical school. Very frustrating for lazies. Very highly recommended if serious else avoid him.

The most challenging class you will ever take. Hard homework and hard tests. Fair grading. Easy labs. Full of math. A lot of extra credit but he does not drop the lowest grade. Crystal clear, very nice and helpful especially in his office. You have to work very hard to do well but a doable A. You get prepared very well. I am very glad I had him.

Tough but clear, nice and helpful. Very hard A but a sweetheart. Understanding and encouraging. Highly recommended for professional schools.

All lectures, hwk and tests are from the book. Everything is full of math. He cuts no corners. He assumes you know the previous courses. Very well organized. Great knowledge and ability to explain and connect hard concepts to everyday life. Very nice and helpful especially in his office. Take his class only if very serious, else run away fast.

Easy labs. Hard exams. Closed book no calculator no formula sheet. Lots of math. Fair grader. Very hard A (got one!) Painful lectures. Two hours of physics no breaks. Appears tough but is quite easy to talk to. He cares but you have to show that you try. Not funny or cool but a great teacher. Ideal for serious students. You kick a** if you survive.

Hard class. Four hard tests with xtra credit. Optional homework. Do it as he tests from it. Cannot catch up if you fall behind. Too much hard stuff. After him the next course was really easy. Very helpful and supportive if you try. Respectful to students but no pushover. Great for good students. Probably the only real college course I had at bmcc.

He is a very nice prof who focuses on the material. Very hard homework, exams and grades. Old school university prof. Lazy strongly dislike him. He is handholding but is not babysitting. He taught me what I needed to do great at my senior college. I very highly recommend him if you want to learn something and succeed.

He gives suggested homework from which he tests. Xtra credit only in the tests. Lectures are packed with info. Presents many examples though. Encourages questions. Quite clear and thorough in his answers. Take him if serious and plan to go to a 4 year college or med school. Take someone else if you want an easy A.

He is a great teacher. He cares a lot about his students and their success. He encourages questions. But the homework from which he tests is too hard. He does not give easy grades. He expects us to study a lot on our own. Why bother with him when you can get an easy A by taking someone else ? After all an A is an A. Hint: bmcc is not an ivy school.

The best there is. Take his class.

All comments below are true. He teaches a hard class. Hard homework, full of math. He tests from it. He does not give out easy grades. Some drop out. Great professor. Crystal clear, encouraging and supportive. He is always willing to help. Ivy education for bmcc prices. The best for serious students. Run away if lazy and not willing to work hard.

He may be the smartest physics prof and the best teacher but not for us. We expect easy classes and easy grades. Nobody knows math. This guy does not get it. Someone, please talk to him. He gives hard homework, hard tests, a lot of math. No easy grades. He is very demanding. You have to study on your own to do well. Give him a job at an ivy school.

I found his tests to be fair as they were taken from what he did in class. Not a hard grader. You have to know some math but not much. Many of his questions had words without numbers. Got an A and learned a lot. Overall a clear and supportive learning environment. Very friendly in the labs and in his office. I highly recommend him.

No calculators in the tests. No reviews. No multiple choice tests. The final contains everything done in the semester! You have to study very hard all semester to do well. Extra credit helps but is in the tests. Very hard class. Someone should tell him that bmcc is no ivy. The best professor for good students, otherwise please move on.

Great course.

I liked physics before, but I love it after taking his class. I found him to be very clear, supportive and very helpful especially in his office. But you have to study a lot by yourself and be good in math to do well. He tests from the homework. He is a fair grader. A very hard class but totally worth it. I wish I could take more courses with him.

His class is a confidence builder or killer. If you do not do well then you doubt yourself. If you do well, then you feel that there is no course that can stand your way. You have to study very hard to do well. It is possible to get an A, but not easy. He is one of the nicest people and greatest scientists at bmcc. Take the courses that he teaches.

He teaches from the book and demands a lot. Very hard homework. He is very helpful both in class and in his office. He is always logged in and answers questions by e-mail. He gives fair exams from the homework. I got an A but studied much harder than in any other course at bmcc. To get an easy A get someone else.

It feels good to take such a hard class, not drop out and still get an excellent grade. This professor will teach and demand from you more than anyone else. He is the best, but only if somebody can study a lot to do well. I am sure that there are much easier professors in physics at bmcc but I do not think anybody is better than him.

If you want to understand the concepts and get an good grade then take this professor. If you just care about an easy A take another professor. Do the homework because he tests from it. Go to his office hours and ask him questions. If he knows you you can still get an A even failing a test. I am grateful for his generosity, his help and support.

This was a real college course and not a lite version. It was an excellent preparation for the mcat. He explained the concepts clearly and thoroughly. He solved many problems in class. His tests were not easy, but from the homework. He was very caring and supportive. Bmcc should consider itself fortunate to have him and should give him a raise.

Two words: just great.

This man is a star. He will help you as much as you need as long as you let him know you need help. He is one of the best at BMCC. The Sciene Department and students are lucky to have him as a professor.

He is a true college professor who teaches at the college level. He follows the book, the syllabus and he tests from the homework. He is very demanding and he cuts no corners. It is very hard to get an A. He explains things very clearly. He is very understanding, supportive and open to questions and suggestions. The best science teacher I had.

The guy is a pro. Follows the syllabus and the book. Does many examples in class. Tests are from the hwk with few but hard problems. Use his office for help with the concepts and hwk. Very nice and supportive but only if he sees that you are serious. The best rec letter if you get an A. The hardest but also the best science teacher I ever had.

He asks for a lot but also gives a lot. His tests are killers but if you do the homework you should be fine. He is very generous with his time and his knowledge. Always logged on. He can help a lot with his advice. You cannot find anyone better than him at bmcc or at any other cc. Ivy education at at bmcc prices. Incredible.

Going to med school, I decided to take my chances with him. He is what the other comments say. Although he is not easy, the way he teaches helps you understand the concepts. But you have to study a lot by yourself and do the homework. In my section half of the surviving class got an A. Terrific professor. I could not have asked for someone better.

Do you want to increase your stress? Do you want to lose your sleep? Do you want to risk a stroke? Do you want to develop nightmares? Then take his class. But ... Do you want to succeed? Do you want encouragement and advice? Do you want a real prof, a real course, a real grade and a great rec letter? Then take his class and do well. Truly awesome.

Phew. It was close. This was definitely the hardest class I ever took. The material is very hard. The math is hard. The homework is hard. The tests are from the homework, also hard. The final was not so bad. He actually asked us what grade we wanted! He seems to have listened else I would have failed. He is a great teacher, but very hard material.

The best there is.

He may be best teacher but he is definitely the most demanding one. He follows the syllabus teaches from the book and tests from the assignments. The homework is impossibly hard to do. He helps you a lot, if you go to his office. Please tell him that BMCC is no ivy. No time to study. He destroys our gpa's. Recommended only for really smart people.

Tests without numbers just symbols. No multiple choice. Memorizing does not work ! You have to do the hwk and hope for the best. Some, hard, extra credit. At the end he asked us to grade ourselves! He is the most brilliant physicist and the clearest teacher but only if your math is very good and you are willing to work extremely hard to do well.

I had a really hard time in this class but I got an A. He is a true college prof teaching for 4yr colleges. He knows a lot and is very clear but very demanding. Excellent advice for med and grad school. Treats you as an adult with a lot of respect. The best science teacher I had at bmcc. Get one of his classes before he gets a job at an ivy.

For smart kids, he is a great teacher. For all others, a nightmare. Everything he does is so full of math. Impossible hwk and tests. Extra credit, partial credit, study group, tutoring, nothing helps. Tell him we have a life, a family and a job. Cannot study 24/7 to get an A in his class. Give us a review sheet and some easy As. Or go to an ivy.

He is the best prof at bmcc but he is leaving ! Whaaat ? He taught totally on top of his head and forced us to think. His was the only real college class I took at bmcc. He was very friendly and even funny in a very hard subject. I hope his health improves and he comes back. If he doesn't, I am sure he will show up somewhere like MIT.

He is leaving for medical reasons for a while. Stressed out. I took the section just to have him. Bummer. He may be hard but his quality of teaching more than makes up for it. A star prof. The best for medical school. Ok, serious and old school but he really cares about our future. BMCC students sure to lose out. Some ivy will certainly hire him.
