Great guy, new to UD but has been teaching physics for like 40 years or something like that. Really knows his stuff and wants you to know it too. Do and understand the problems assigned and you can easily do well. Take with this guy.

Really great man, but please, if you don't have to take this course, unless you're a genius DONT take 207! I loved physics in H.S., so I thought this would be interesting.. big mistake. Georgopulos is brilliant and speaks very clearly, I suppose he's very good considering the material. Biggest issue: exam questions are 20x harder than quizzes & HW

This man is great but his tests are no joke, get your quiz average high because you can use that as an exam grade. There is a quiz every week and for real study like a mofo for his exams I thought I knew the material great but barely passed every test.

He was great professor! So funny and really really cares about his students. The quizzes aren't that bad, but the tests are harder than you expect so you really need to know how to apply your knowledge. Take advantage of TAs and his office hours and you'll be fine.

Extremely hard class. You haven't studied before college? Do it now. I scraped by by the skin of my quiz and lab averages. Very easy to understand, likes to talk about food a lot. He knows his stuff and goes over a brief review of the previous day on some topics so you won't get lost in your notes. TAKE NOTES! STUDY!

Make sure you study a little bit at a time. Excellent lecturer. Cares about what he teaches and is willing to help.

Overall a very good professor. Goes over material at least twice before moving on and is very clear about it. he knows what hes doing and is always available during office hours. study like crazy for his tests though, they are extremely hard.

Dr. G is a great lecturer, he is very easy to understand and has a great sense of humor. He constantly is offering extra help. Make sure you study and you will have it "made in the shade" for quizzes. Beware the tests can be a monster but you can still pull out a good grade for the class.

Prof. G is a great guy and his class is cool. He makes phys easy to understand with his lecturing style and his down-to-earth attitude. The tests and quizzes are not cakewalks, but if you do the homework and take the notes you will be ok. You just have to learn how to apply concepts to problems. I liked the class and am not afraid of phys anymore.

Dr. G is the greatest. period. He makes class fun and if you do the work and homework problems you will be in FAT CITY! The tests can be a bit difficult but he is very helpful and wants to see all his students do well. I wish he taught all the physics courses!

He's definitely one of the most enthusiastic professors - no problem taking it at 8am. He loves the subject and his students. The course is easy at the beginning of the semester but quickly becomes difficult - second exam is much harder than the first. Labs and quizzes suck but don't hurt your grade too much since the TA's are usually pretty cool.

Def take his class. do the HW. study a little for the weekly quizes and tests and ull get an A.

Does a good job. Gives you the tools in class needed to do well on the class. I tend not to get as much from class usually, but got alot from this one. Makes topics very simple. Class is very straight forward. Very easy in the beginning if you've had any physics before, but the material gets harder. Expect to spend more time as you go.

Very good physics teacher. I never took physics in high school, so I thought the class was extremely difficult. He taught the class very well and knew what he was talking about and because of that I was able to pull out a B for the class. Even though the subject material is difficult take him he is a very good teacher.

excellent teacher, incredibly hard class. my only problem was the format of his tests. it was much more conceptual than straight up problems. i had over a 95 quiz average because the quizzes were straight problems. my test average was about a 75. make sure you do well on quizzes and labs they really help your average. ended up with a C+ cause of it

Dr. G. is an incredible teacher. His exams are tough, but quizzes and labs really boost your overall average. His best skill is probably how well he can explain his material. Also, he is very accessible as far as office hours are concerned. I definitely recommend him.

An excellent teacher. Lessons were very clear. Was helpful after class. The exams are much harder then the homework and quizes.

In the beggining I was intimidated to take Prof. G's class. He is an outstanding teacher and it shows. He is retired and only focuses on the PHYS 207 course. He is extremely helpful and his class is very organized. Intense exams if u dont know what ur doin. I am a ME major and partially because of his class I decided to add the physics major also.

EXCELLENT professor. Unquestionable my favorite so far. He's retired so all he does is his 207 class. He loves to help anyone and everyone whenever. He has THE best sense of humor I've ever experienced with a professor- LOVE IT. Take him for sure if you want to enjoy physics!!!

Explains very clearly but calls a lot of people out when they get up to leave in the middle of lecture even though he doesnt require attendance. Tests are pretty hard but fair. Good grading system. 30% best test, 15% worst test, 20% other test, 20% quiz avg, 15% lab avg. Labs and quizes are easy.

Listen up Turkey! Dr. G is a good professor. The material itself is the hardest part, but if you study the homework and quizzes, the tests are really manageable.

Dr. G is a great professor and he makes the class very enjoyable. He is good at making a connection with his students and his tasteful humor and stories make the class very manageable. Study for the quizzes and pay attention during labs and you'll do fine.

Greatest class ever. Worth going to just to hear what he has to say. If you had physics in high school this class is a breeze. I like how he counts your best test for more and your worst for less. You definitely come away with a great understanding of all the material. And the labs are pretty fun.

From a student with no previous physics experience, the class was difficult. I didn't gain much from Dr. G's lectures because I had no idea what he was talking about, but it's possible to teach yourself everything from the book. Do all the homework and really understand it, and you'll be okay. He seems intimidating, but is very helpful one-on-one.

He's a good guy. I won't sugarcoat it, the class is difficult (though some will tell you otherwise). He knows his stuff and will help you if you need it. Not a class to take if you're looking for an easy A.

He doesn't just chuck equations at you; he develops them, making the class interesting. He seems intimidating, but he's just being the Greek god that he is. If you don't understand something, ask Q's. It makes him happy if you ask questions nd show enthusiasm. He'll crack some jokes to ease up tension before exams. Great professor.

Great teacher, really knows what he is talking about. Gives optional homework that is useful for exams. Not an easy course, but is very useful.

mightve been the easiest class ive had so far. good teacher, explains everything cleary

Great professor, very enthusiastic about the material. Not the easiest class in the world, but he's willing to explain things. Sometimes moves too fast during the lectures, but his handwriting is unbelievable.

Dr. G is a really passionate teacher and thrives on interacting with his students. Tests are really tough but fair. Go to office hours and DO THE HOMEWORK even though he does not check it. Very challenging class. Sink or swim.

Dr. G definitely loves Physics and is extremely knowledgeable. Physics is usually a tough class for most, but with effort (doing the homework, going to class, taking notes, paying attention) you'll be fine. Exams aren't easy, but you get the grade you work for. I would recommend him to anyone who's willing to put in the hours and truly learn.

I came to this course with no physics experience and ended with a B- because I put my hours on this course.Dr.G loves physic,would definitely help you during office hours. For quizes, truly study your hw very well. For exams,truly understand the hw,quizzes,and topic(conceptual questions). If you dont put your hours, then your fooling yourselfs.

If you listen to him during lectures and do the homework, you'll learn a lot from this class. The quizzes and tests are very similar to homework! Just put in some time, do the work and it's a great class (so far, not quite finished)! He's a pretty funny professor with certain catchphrases, just make sure you don't fall asleep in lecture!

Real likable guy and is pretty funny but his class isn't easy. If you pay attention and do the homework you should be ok. His quizzes are sometimes confusing and not always based on the homework but otherwise he's a pretty good teacher.

This class is hard. Real hard. Georgopolis is a great guy but the class is most certainly not great. Alot of time has to be put in for mediocre grades

Georgopulos is the man. Anyone who says this class is impossible is lazy. Go to lecture, take advantage of his office hours and do the practice problems and you should be fine. He genuinely wants everyone to succeed and is extremely kind and helpful. Sit in the front few rows of lecture; he respects that. Favorite professor I've had at UD so far!

Great speaker, fun to listen to; even for an 8 am class. Knows his stuff, is funny, is one of a kind. Would rather have over any other teacher.

Best professor ever!!!!!!

Georgopulos is the perfect professor for this class. Yes it can take some time and effort but he loves to help. He knows that his class is challenging but Physics has to be hard. If you can't handle his class now then you have no chance as an engineer or physics major. He has a great sense of humor and makes an 8 am enjoyable

Georgopulos Is the best teacher I have had at Udel so far. Extremely clear and is great at teaching. Yes the class is tough but if you cant pass the class with georgopulos a change of major should be considered

His class is not very easy, but he is a knowledgable and good teacher. He sometimes goes a little fast during his lectures. The few homework problems he gives are really the best way to study for tests and quizzes, and there aren't a whole lot of other practice problems that help as much. Overall he's a challenge but you will learn the material

Tough class but a good teacher. Usually doesn't curve, so grade is on you. Weekly quizes, no homework, and gives good example problems with solutions worked out. Exams are tough but very do-able.

I'm the dumbass English major who decided to take Physics as a group D requirement. The class is hard, but the test and quiz problems mirror the homework. So if you do the homework and really understand it, you'll be fine. Georgopulous will help you out if you need it and he is obviously SOOO smart. It'll take effort, but the class is doable.

MAKE SURE YOU STUDY. I came in with no prior knowledge and that kinda killed me in the class. He's serious when he says you need to put in the study time to pass. A good thing though is that he tells you almost exactly what will be on every quiz and exam. No surprises. Helpful during office hours. No curve, which sucks.

Very straightforward class. The guy knows his stuff, and he's passionate about it. Ask questions if you don't get it, he's good at explaining stuff. If you put in decent effort, you'll be fine.

The best professor I have had at UD. Not a breeze, but very helpful and straightforward.

If you've never taken physics before this is the guy for you. He goes of the intro stuff really slow to make sure everyone gets it. He also has a lot of time for questions during lecture. Labs and quizzes are easy but the exams can be rough. If you've already taken physics then this course is going to feel real easy and slow.

Don't need to buy textbook. Can skip class but not a great idea. Study, do some of the optional homework and you'll do fine.

I had to withdraw from this class because it would have affected my GPA that badly. It's easy for people who understand the material already, but, even though it's an Introduction to Physics class, you are definitely expected to have some background knowledge.

He is great!! Hard class. You need to put the work in, but it is not impossible. Likes to be intimidating during class, but deep down he is a really nice and sweet and very helpful guy only if you seek it. He is also pretty funny during class with his subtle innuendos.

Overall he knows his stuff and is a decent professor. He is very funny, but his exams were very difficult. I had never had a good physics class before this so it was challenging for me. DO THE HOMEWORK it helps a ton.

Although attendance is not mandatory, you will fail if you don't go. He's the best teacher i've had but this class is really hard. If you're having difficulty drop it, it only gets harder. You don't need the textbook at all but you need to do the homework he assigns. THe exams and quizzes are based almost completely off the homework problems.

Georgie is a great guy. The class really isn't that difficult so long as you keep up with the homework's he assigns each night. Lab is a joke just show up and get it done, you get to play with carts on ramps everyday. If you go through all the practice problems he assigns and understand them and the concepts with the questions you will do well.

Georgopulos is a great guy and really makes going to physics class entertaining. Although he is a good teacher the exams are pretty challenging. Study the homework and you should be fine. Quizzes are pretty easy but do not rely on studying those for the exams. Lab is irritating to go to but not hard at all.

Overall, I had an awesome experience in this class. For the first week, he will try to intimidate you out of his class. However, he does so with good intentions. The class is only very difficult if you aren't dedicated and if you don't do the assigned homework problems. Otherwise, you're made in the shade.

Awesome guy and a great teacher. He wants his students to do well almost to the point where he gets mad if people do not ask him questions. Exams are difficult but do the homework problems and understand the concepts and you should be fine.

Dr. G is an amazing professor! I've always hated physics, so it's no surprise that I struggled with this class. The labs and quizzes are easy, so try to get a high average in those. The tests are a little trickier. Do the hw as he assigns it or you're going to be totally lost in class. Go to his office hours for help, he's a really nice guy!

The class is hard if you don't put forth effort. Dr. G is a very helpful professor but he can only do so much if you don't do the homework or study. The tests are definitely hard but he prepares you well for them. Overall one of the best Physics teachers I've ever had

Dr G is such a great guy and really knows his physics. He is almost always in his office and is really a nice guy to talk to. He will give you points back on your quizzes if you talk to him. He teaches fast, so don't skip. Overall a great guy who tries to help everybody understand physics as long as you put in the effort.

This class is pretty difficult. If you don't have any previous experience in physics andor calculus, you better study a lot. Homework and attendance isn't mandatory, but you may really need it. Textbook isn't helpful except for equations and problems, which you get most of in class or by e-mail anyway.

Dr. G is a great guy and a phenomenal teacher. He is very willing to answer questions during lectures and during office hours. He also makes it fairly interesting. WITH THAT SAID, the exams and quizzes can be extremely hard, so you make sure you really understand the concepts. Luckily, labs are pretty easy and boost the grade a little.

Very motivational, funny, charismatic. Very hard class, but very good teacher, and has everyones respect from the start. Keeps everyone involved and paying attention. I reiterate, a very hard class. Exams are very tough, but if you devote ALOT of time to studying homework problems and quizzes, you will pass. I worked extremely hard and got a B+

He's very helpful but you have to read and do the homework otherwise there's no chance of passing.

His test are hard. Extremely encouraging to ask questions.

This man is great, he is one of the few professors who actually cares about his students. The class itself is somewhat harder than other classes, but overall I enjoyed going and liked the material. Take him if you can!

He's a very charismatic and funny guy, however sometimes it can take away from the point of the lecture. He started out a great teacher, but as the semester progressed, the material got more difficult and he didn't seem to teach it as well. You definitely get out what you put in, so if you do the homework and study for the quizzes you should be go

"He's a very charismatic and funny guy" I strongly agree. His lecture is so interesting and funny, and he is very organized. You will learn a lot from him if you follow his lecture and do practice problems. I am not officially his student, but because my professor barely teach, I go to his lecture all the time, and I am so lucky to have this choice

Let me just make this clear now: take PHYS207 with Georgopulos. I came in with just a basic physics understanding from high school (no AP or any of that), and still succeeded in this class. If you want to do well on the exams, do the homework problems. If you want help with anything, go to his office hours. Work hard, it definitely pays off.

He is the best professor to take PHYS207 with. Pay attention in class, do his homework problems and you should be fine on the exams.

Dr. G is the best professor I've had yet. His lectures will give you such an incredible understanding of the fundamentals of physics. Homework is given but not collected or graded BUT DO IT ALL. Solutions provided with homework, use them if you're stuck/ to check ans at end. If you understand all the hwk problems the exams will be very easy.

He is a very wonderful teacher! I believe it's this class that is too difficult, but what he teaches is super good!

One of the best teachers I've ever had at UD. He knew how to explain physics in a way that I could actually understand, something no one has ever been able to do for me before. You need to go to class and do his homework, even though it's optional. Textbook completely useless, never opened it. Study by reviewing notes, quizzes, and hw problems.

Funny teacher. Exams are fair. Weekly quizzes that they basically give you the answer to right before. Homework is optional but you should definitely do it before the exams. Sometimes he does call students out for thinks like coming in late or coughing but he is overall a nice guy

Professor Georgopolus is funny and understands the material. He expects students to use physics for problem solving rather than rote memorization, which is harder, but much more beneficial in the long run. Overall, I would take again.

Dr. G was the funniest prof I've ever met at UD. This class takes a decent amount of time (3-6 hours per week) if you want to get an A in his class. He is a fantastic professor and gives you all of the resources you need to succeed. See him in office hours for points back on exams and quizzes. Harder tests than other profs, but the best 207 prof.

The hardest class I have ever taken. Go to the physics help center. He wants you to pass so go to office hours. He gives back points. The homework problems are optional but practically the only studying resource so do them. They take a long time though. Be prepared to work hard.

Georgopolis is a really great professor, he knows what hes doing and will really let the class set the pace of learning. If you have questions dont be afraid to ask, he can be intimidating but will help you realize what you know and what you dont. Not to mention hes a great speaker, and a great guy.

He is a very direct person. Lecture and HW are not mandatory, but they help guide the process. He reuses questions from the quizzes you took, so make sure that you study the quizzes prior to exams. As for the quizzes, he will go over a similar problem in lecture on the day before so that there are no surprises.

Dr. Georgopulos is such a joy to have as a lecturer. He really makes the material fun to learn if you're willing to pay attention in class. He provides very detailed problem sets that are highly relevant to weekly quizzes, and the TAs are great for explaining any gaps in your understanding. It's a great class, and I wish he taught every class.

Dr G is a great physics teacher. I took AP Physics in high school and his class closely relates to that curriculum. Also he is very knowledgable and knows what he is doing. He doesn't take attendance but if you miss class you will be struggling. Labs are pretty easy and quizzes are too if you pay attention to his hints he gives in class

Really funny guy. Great teacher, much better than anything I've had before. Explains content well and provides practice problems. Make sure to do those! The exams are based on them. My rule of thumb was if you could do the practice problems, you'd be fine on the exam

Great Professor. He's super funny and passionate about what he teaches. Just beware of the quizzes you have to take basically every week in this class. If you go to him for any grading discrepancies, he will most likely give you points back.

Dr. G was a solid prof who knew physics well, but sometimes had trouble communicating the information during lecture. The exams are relatively difficult, but if you review the quizzes ahead of time, youll be fine. Labs and discussion quizzes are easy

Dr. G is a good professor in a normal semester, but online his lectures were somewhat disorganized and hard to follow. I had more success learning with the textbook than with his notes. However, doing the homework problems and attending discussion is crucial for success as similar problems will be seen on quizzes and exams!
