He is very good at teaching. I love his powerpoint Lectures.

Bottom line: half the class gets an A. And Dhungana's accent is not bad at all. If you're struggling that much to understand him, you need to get out more. He can be pretty funny at times. His tests are somewhat hard, but his grading policies are very lax (drops the lowest two tests, AND curves each test to add 10% onto your grade).

explained concepts well, very fair grading system, ample examples provided.

For those who need a breezy science course with lab, PHYS1052 with Professor Dhungana is your class. This is another unfortunate example of a teacher who feels unchallenged. He is clearly very intelligent, and is teaching well below his desired level. Easy quizzes are based on text (but duplicate info can be found in lectures), and easy labs.

Do not hesitate to go to Ramesh's office hours and work through problems with him. He is available, friendly, and will help you as much as you need. That said, his class requires a significant amount of independent study with 3 weekly quizes and 4 exams. If you do the work, you will get an A--but it's not an easy A.

Did not use the book once. Accent isn't that bad. If you go to his office hours he will explain and is really a good help. Probably one of the few teachers at UC that is teaching well below his level. If you like astronomy, take it

It is easy to do well in this class. The problem is you will have learned how to approach specific problems rather than understanding the physical concepts. The problems on the exam come right out of the book or class notes - most of the time with the same numbers!

great teacher if you want to work hard and understand better

A truly good professor. His expectation from students is clear, and his lectures is sometime repetitive and dry yet most of the time pretty funny and interesting. The weekly tests are hard, and the exams which count for the majority of your grade comes directly from examples, book, and lectures notes. If you have enough practices, you will be good.

Overall, really good professor; not for everyone. Huge workload! Mostly easy Reading Quizzes before every class; skim the textbook. Very hard Weekly Tests, every weekend. Has an accent; some people complain. Willing to sit w/you during office hours & explain concepts/go over problems. His message: Practice is Key. Not an easy A, but learned a lot!

He is very clear with what is required for the course right off the bat. Do the practice problems from back of the bookslides and you will be golden, especially since he takes questions DIRECTLY from these for the exams. Great teacher and makes the class interesting. Also, 5% free credit if you attend class every day!!

Just done with final in college Physics. Test was hard but questions were from the pool. Uses video clips and animations in class and does lots of problems . Three online tests every week. Two reading tests are easy. just need to read book. Weekly tests are tough. Mostly need to understand materials to do well. answers are not available online.

I took physics 1 with another professor but one of my friend took with Dr. Ramesh. Based on conversation with him, I decided to take Physics 2 with Ramesh. I found Ramesh lot better than another professor. I actually learn to solve problems. I am using the skills to prepare for my MCAT. I wish had taken Physics 1 with him as well.

The accent was a non-issue for me. He mostly goes off his PowerPoints anyway. Reading quizzes due every MonWed by 11:59PM were word for word from the textbook. Weekly quizzes are pretty straight forward as well, similar to the problems in the book and his PowerPoint. I suggest you save your results to study from later. Huge curve - 75% is a B.

Great class. He does lots of examples in class. Test questions come from a pool of problems that are done in class or in the book. So if you pay attention in class, you literally will have seen every test question and its solution before the day of the test. Weekly quiz and 2 weekly reading quizzes.

I took Ramesh for Physics 1 and 2, and he was great. It seems like a ton of work - There are 3 online tests each week, but no written homework, and the online tests force you to actually read and keep up with doing problems. He makes his grading scale helpful as well. In Physics 2 I got a B on the midterm, C on the final, but an A in the class.

Willing to always help us understand. Has ability to teach us complex concepts at a very basic level. I've had him for both semesters of physics and he is one of the best teachers I've had thus far.

Dhungana is not nearly as bad as what everyone makes him seem. His PowerPoints are very helpful. His exams were out of 25 points including the final. 28 questions on exams & only grades the best 25. He uses clickers but in the end those turn out to be up to 5 points of EC. Weekly quizzes on sampling. Adds up to 10% to both quizzes & HW at the end

Dhungana was able to make some physics lectures fun. Definitely some dry material which made some classes long. Professor does have an accent but still communicates clearly. My one gripe is that I came 1.4 points short of an A and he was unwilling to communicate with me. Overall, would take again, just make sure to do everything you can.

Only a midterm and final for all exams, but a fair grader and uses a curve at the end of the semester.

Great teacher for those who are willing to work for their degree. It is physics so come with an open mind and ready to learn, or you will get left behind. His lectures are essential for the in-class exams. If you want a science degree or want to take physics to learn something, then consider this professor.

I really enjoyed going to his class. He is strict only b/c he knows his students can give a lot more. Do your best and he will be happy. Come to class prepared and ready to learn more exciting things in a very fun way. Communicate with him, but do NOT expect any handouts. Ramesh is a truly amazing person and if you feel other wise, do better!

I found it hard at first to understand because of his accent, but got used to it after a week or two. There is a lot of online pre-lectures/bridges/weekly-tests. The homework that is online is just for practice and is not graded. He is a good professor and as long as you study the slides and worksheets for exams, you should be fine.

Ramesh was very clear that some algebraic knowledge and hard work is necessary. Gave algebraic exercises and self-test material before class began. Three online tests every week. 2 midterms, comprehsve final. Work-sheets and chapter practices to learn better. He helped to correct worksheet in office. 5% for Participation. Waiting to take PHYS 2020.

If you actually watch the videos on sapling and try in the homework, you'll learn and do well. Everyone uses chegg but its the homework category is only worth 5% so its more worth it to actually try and do the homework! His tests are based on the clicker questions in the lectures.

Dr. Dhungana is a great physics professor. His lectures are entertaining, he makes many jokes and uses real life examples. He also offers extra credit clicker questions for those who attend lecture so don't skip. His grading scale is fair so if you put in the work and attend lecture regularly you can get an A.

Ramesh is hilarious and does a decent job at making extremely boring stuff interesting. He's available outside of class and clears confusion in class too. I feel like the only con with this class is you have to be on top of your game and that Ramesh is vague when it comes to assignments but still grades them toughly, so do EXACTLY what he says.

His physics test is multiple choice, and mostly comes from (or is similar to) the problems you do in class. Lots of the test is conceptual, although there are some problems that will require you to work out the problem with math. I picked this prof because I just wanted to get through physics as fast and easy as possible, this is the guy to take.

Used iclickers as extra credit which was very helpful material wise. 30 multiple choice tests where top 25 count. Hard to get ahold of out of class. Go to class everyday and study his examples and you'll do fine on test. Dont over complicated material. Online assigments dont pertain towards lecture material but good grade booster. He is funny.

Dr. Dhungana is a good lecturer, and with enough hardwork and time, you'll pass. He also has a great TA, Karl, who really helps you understand the material. The online sapling homework and quizzes are great grade boosters, and clicker points go as extra credit! He makes physics interesting and is very funny.

Ramesh gives lots of opportunity to earn points and learn concepts through clicker. He is very nice and respectful to students. I know that he cares about his students and actively respond to emails . He corrected my worksheets sent through emails and helped me when I showed up during office hour through zoom.

Even though the class was through zoom due to covid -19, I still felt engaged in class. I really enjoyed Dr. Ramesh as instructor. Ramesh explained concept clearly and he was always available to answer questions. He cares about students and cares about what he is teaching.

The sapling homeworks are a little annoying, but they're not impossible and really they feel like an excuse to get you to look at the textbook. The textbook is free and SUPER helpful. Dr. Dhunghana is super nice, has major dad-vibes, and is so so smart. His lectures are pretty good. Go to SI!!! IT WILL HELP SO MUCH!!!

Just done with final of physics 2. Took both physics 1 and 2 with Ramesh. He makes you work hard and make you learn. But all those efforts paid off. Physics I learned in this class was very helpful for MCAT preparation.

Dr. Ramesh is an amazing professor who cares about his students, I enjoy his teaching style and appreciate the layout of the course - preclass, worksheets, weekly everyweek. Unfortunately, I was late too late to register for his physics 2 class as it is already full with long wait list. I wish the physic 2 class size was as big as physics 1.

The handouts he provided for the more than half of the course summarized and explained topics very well. They along with suggested videos prepared me for assignement. Three attempts for the preclass was really helpful because I could go back and forth until I learned the materials. The discussion allowed me to mention the topic I found difficult.

Get ready to do the work and learn. You will do well. Make sure you have time to attend the classes as most questions on the tests are very similar to the questions done through the clicker in class.

I was really nervous about taking physics. However, once class started I became comfortable. There was required algebra help at the beginning of semester. Quizzes had multiple attempts. Class had clicker questions and problems. Worksheet problems were very similar to class. Midterms and finals were based on worksheets and clicker.

Working example in class was helpful and the in-class physical demonstrations were very helpful for understanding. The clicker questions were also very helpful and provided good study material for the exams. Summary notes for each concept and week's work that we had for the first half of the semester were a great supplement to the textbook.

Ramesh was and is one of my favorite teachers. Lectures with example problems were helpful. The problems we do in class as practice are very helpful for completing assignments and studying for exams. We were frequently asked for feedback regarding what topics to go over and if there is anything that needs to be improved in the classroom setting.

Ramesh did a good job of really teaching the concepts in class. I really feel like I got the adequate amount of practice needed on each topic, and I really learned the concepts. Super nice guy that is always willing to re-explain things. Overall the content is really amazing.

I took both physics 1 and 2 with Dr. Ramesh. Joined class everyday, did most assignments. Did well in both class and learned lots of physics problems and concepts. Yes sometimes if felt like lot of work. Applied for medical school. Asked professor to write recommendation letter. Got in and now batch of 2027. Mission accomplished.

I had him for physics 1. He provides detailed note, makes weekly assignments. I didn't have to pay for anything except $16 for clicker app. So you can't find answer of the questions in internet. But I went through note, provided solution of worksheet and did well in class. I am taking physics 2 with another nicer professor but NOT doing very well.

He was great. The lectures were long and a lot of the time it was hard to hear him. But he is really funny and he does make jokes. He has amazing lecture notes, some of the best I have ever seen. There are 3 test including the final best 20 out of 25 all multiple choice. Do the practice problems and really you will be set.

Ramesh was rlly funny and a good teacher imo. His accents not hard to understand and he explains concepts well. He curves exams, which are all MC. If u pay attention in class its not hard to pass. He also provides a free link to the textbook and has in class clicker q's for extra credit. Lecture doesnt match up with lab which he said on the 1st day

Just finished the physics 1. It was offered through zoom. I earned better grade than what I expected at the beginning of semester. Already signed up for physic 2 with Ramesh. Very organized and consistent class. All the materials are provided. Just buy iclicker app and your are ready. Don't forget to do algebra worksheet once it is posted.

Ramesh's physics class has detailed notes and weekly assignments. The clicker questions and in-class demonstrations were very helpful. Unstuck AI was a great study tool alongside the practice problems. Overall, it's a challenging but rewarding course.
