class is not too difficult and there are many demonstrations to help keep your attention. he tries to help you understand the best he can. recommended for students that need to learn the basics of physics.

he's really cool and really cares about your understanding of the material. there are lots of demos and the lecture is broken down in terms that anyone can understand

Excellent prof;very clear, helpful & patient.Testing is straight forward,open notes and interesting lectures.Never thought I'd voluntarily take another physics course but he helped spark my interest.

Dr. King is the coolest lab instructor I have ever had. He is very helpful when we ask him questions. He also makes his midterm and final very easy.

Excellent prof.Clear,easy,patient & fun.One page notes on tests, weekly online quizzes(3 tries permitted for best score & available until the day before the next exam)& cummulative final exam. Intimidation is now out the window and I'm ready to take another Phys class.Just for fun!!!

well, he is a nice teacher, everything is easy. Homework assigments are very easy( it dues every wednesday, you can finish them on tuesday night.).Also the test are easy too, there are 5 questions which we can find them from our homework and inclass note are very easy. cheer up, take him..

The only reason you get C is you are lazy or stupid.

If you hate this subject but you have to take the class, take Roger. He is a lazy guy and you don't have to buy the book because once you have been keeping good notes and study them, you will pass this class. I took him at my first semester of college.I am not interested in this subject at all. However, I ended up with a B. It is understandable.

Very nice guy, know the material inside out. Very helpful and easy to approach.

his test has 5 questions, 4 of which are pretty easy and straight foward. However, his homeworks are real difficult, and you have to spend at least 4 hours on it each week, just for homework. Getting a B is ez, but if u want to get an A, he is not the choice!

He's a very good teacher. He's nice, funny, and knows the subject very well. He uses good examples during lectures, which makes it easier to understand. The exams aren't that hard if you study the right material and pay attention in class.

Just pay attention in class and you will be fine. Tests and online quizzes are easy.

If you are taking Physics 10, Dr.King is the best instructor. He thoroughly explains every materials in good & clear explanations, and grading system is not bad. Though Online quizzes are required, they are not hard and are useful for exams.

Your grade is based on online quizzes for each chapter and 4 tests including the final. To get good grades on the tests you have to write notes AND read the text. Writing notes is extremely easy though because he writes them on the board. Tests are easy only if you read the chapters, which come out to about 6-9 per test. I enjoyed the class.

Very easy teacher, all you need basically is the "clicker" and a notebook. his exams are all multiple choices, pretty easy and the quizzes you have to take online, and trust me, anyone can score 5/5 on those quizzes. Recommended for anyone taking physics 10

cool guy. nice box! Sit in the front rows.

Beginning of his lab he sounded very strict on the lab notebook with instructions on how professional the notebook should look like but later on the summer semester he is alot less strict.Neatly written labs with conclusion will get you 5/5.Two exams are relative easy if you have good info on the lab notebooks (yes u can use it).He is a fair grader

This guy is great!!!!Not an easy class but he is very clear and answers ALL questions!! If u don't miss classes and do all of his online quizzes and keep up with the chapters in the book you'll get an A. He is very clear and very nice! Highly recommended!!!!!!! Good Luck

Currently taking his Physics 10 as well as 10L. He is an excellent teacher. He explains things very clearly and has good examples and models to back up his explanation. In class "clicker questions" gets the class engaged and into the material. The lab is a little tougher but get B's(fairly easy) on lab test and you get an A overall. Cool fun guy.

King makes Physics interesting. Physics is not the easiest subject in the world to learn, but King made it easier to understand by using examples and what have you. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

He makes the exam harder than what the people said before. Be careful, specially for the exam#1.

Dr. King is a great teacher. He is a little tricky though so be careful when taking exams. Other then that he is a really good teacher...most used word is class.....IS THERE A QUESTION UP THERE? watch out for those words...especially if your a classroom talker.

I'll admit the tests are a little harder than what the practice quizzes relate to. But its more important to understand the concept. The good news is that he allows one piece of paper for notes (can be used front and back) for each test. Attend class and use the clicker to get points (helped me boost my grade up).

Difficult A, but easy B. Explains well, helpful. Exams are a little difficult, but people can boost up points with clickers and online quizzes. Take him for sure.

I can not believe somebody can not get an A. He is so easy! Just like a Middle school phyc! Tricky? Maybe somebody don't really know phyc!

Very very clear teacher. makes everything easy to understand. Very easy to get an A. 81% is an A and 65% is a B! take good notes and you will be fine

Talks too fast during lectures, exams are extremely tricky, but curves the grading system which is a small plus.

To be honest, I used to think physics are boring. He is definitely very talented in teaching and in my opinion the best teacher in ccsf. His lectures are very interesting and well prepared. His concept explanation is perfect! Its easy to get an A even without buying/reading the textbook because he got all tested materials covered thoroughly.

hes easy if you listen well and actually understand it. i got by the class without studying or buying the book and i almost got an A 2 points away from it! He only curves the D to C border, but more of a easy B for people than A

I loved this class! Dr.King has a way of explaining Physics with so much clarity, and only basic Math is used. I was shocked that out of 150 students, most did very poorly. I got a B, It was still hard, but his grade curve helps. If you can't pass this class, you shouldn't be in college. It was easy, AND enjoyable!

His class is an easy B class. Not really hard, but you need to review your note and do his online quizzes. In addition, he has iClicker quiz which is totally sucks. The iClicker quizzes' grading is so weird because you need to keep improving you quizzes grade. If you don't, it will decrease your total grade. Good Luck!

Definitely an easy B. I took summer class, had 2 exams, which you could bring 1 page of notes. Had online quizzes for each chapter.Also uses I-clicker as in class quizzes, its relatively easy if you are paying attention. His grades are in point based system, not percentage. He gives entertaining lectures, really nice, and will help you when needed

King is a nice prof and tries to make his lectures interesting with stories and humour. If you do all his work and do reasonably well on the tests you can easily get a B. But you have to do reasonably well. He's easily approachable if you have a question. He lectures in an clear way, but sometime he can talk pretty fast. Don't talk in his class.

Cool professor with a nice sense of humor. Lectures are easy to follow and labs can be quite fun. Tests are not too bad as well. If you want an A, just go to every lab and dedicate a few hours of studying to each test.

He is one tricky guy! Sometimes he overlooked my RIGHT answers and I did get angry at him for that but overall he's a great teacher :) I don't get why people complain his curve is great. Like you get one point off and students act like it's the end of the word. Jesus, his B range is like 70%-89% or something. Not that hard to get there -.-

I enjoyed Dr. King's lectures because he spoke very clearly and made lectures interesting. He can talk a bit too fast sometimes though, but the class is simple. Just make sure to attend lecture because he gives iClicker questions worth 50 pts for each day which can help your grade and study for all exams! He also lets you bring in a cheat sheet! =)

Definitely easy B. His overall curve is posted on his Syllabus. Actual B grade is around ~73%. If English is your first language and you attend all of his lectures, you will have no problem getting an A. All of his tests are based off his Insight quizzes. He explains everything extremely clear if you just attend class everyday.

Uses the Iclicker, which forces you to attend class. However, lectures are not that boring. Somewhat easy grader, tests are difficult, but grading system is good. Homeworks are online, but easy. I recommend taking Dr. King.

I have no prior knowledge of physics at all. His exam are really hard and tricks you that's how I felt. I would say if your have prior knowledge of physics well, take him. But, if your like me I suggest take a different instructor. Usage of iclicker or reef and requires you to attend lectures. He is funny most of the times with his stories

I'm only giving him a four because he gave me a B. Other than that, he is brilliant. He has clear expectations. Sometimes I found difficult to accept those expectations but it is what it is I guess; at least he's clear about it.

This class is to be taken seriously. Do good and exams and quizzes you pass. I found his exams quite difficult, but I was able to barely pass class because of his high curves. If he didn't curve I would've failed. It was s gift to curve thanks. Study your lab book and make sure you understand! He might curve you up 10-15% for exam. Good luck!

Male sure you study hard for exams, because I barely passed it. It was a gift for him to curve our grades otherwise I would've failed. He might curve 5-15% depending on average. His class was kinda enjoyable, but hard to learn since I don't have good foundation of 4A. Do good on quizzes and do decent on exams you pass. Good luck.

Honestly a really good professor. I was able to understand everything he lectured on, and he made it so as long as you pay attention in class you can generally do all the homework and exams (with a little practice).

Good professor, explains concepts well and always willing to answer questions. 20% of grade depends on iClicker and homework (graded on correctness). 2 Exams and 1 Cumulative Final makes up 80% of your grade. "A" requires COMPLETE knowledge of all concepts taught in class. 4-5 question exam can cover ANYTHING he's gone over. Can't half-ass to pass.

The class material is really good at develophing students as problem solvers. Physics is not meant to be easy and especially Phyc 4A. I've felt many of my peers expected an easy time, but that's not the point. The point of knowing just the basic or minimal concepts is for you to think and discuss with peers to developh problem solving skills.

Professor King has a youtuber vibe. There were 2 exams and 1 final, all multiple choice, allowed to use one cheat sheet. Easy A! yeah! No homework at all, just bring your mind to the class and you will be doing fine. He also curved the grade as well, I think that the A range starts from around 7580. Lots of respect for him.

Of the more challenging professors. Requires the use of an iclicker. Nice and approachable. Generous with explanations during office hours and lab. Projects voice well -- 90+ decibels measured at my desk (second row). HW so difficult I was mostly working through it with tutors. I was lazy and rarely used the book, to my detriment. I took PHYC41.

Dr. King is passionate and excited about physics. He was great about answering questions in class and being available during office hours. Lectures and grading were clear and homework was assigned from the book. He doesn't tell you exactly what will be on the test or give study guides -- do practice problems from the book and know the concepts.

lecture won't cover everything for you to solve problem on homework. Homework is extremely challenging, But the exams King gave are pretty easy. Exam questions are much simple and straightforward than homework. one third difficulty of homework. He do curve

Hes a difficult professor, he teaches physics after all so YOU should expect that to be the case. However, its all with the purpose of you giving a solid foundation in physics. Difficulty probably wont satisfy any STEM geniuses, but should be plenty for the average student. Dont worry about what material he covers its all standardized anyways.

Had him for online classes. Mostly does lectures. Lectures are good and he tries to make them interesting. Has lots of check-in questions to make sure you're keeping up. Homework is hard. Tests are easy and have curve. Similar format to the check-in questions. Labs are a pain but nothing too hard. TL;DR, Solid Choice. Don't fall behind

Best professor I've had during COVID. The coursework is difficult but his lectures are clear and he explains concepts in ways that make intuitive sense. He lobs a ton of easy points at you with lecture quizzes so just keep up and do all the work and you'll be fine. The class has weekly HW (9 problems/week), 3 exams, and weekly discussion forums.

His online lab requires significantly more time than taking it in person. There is some group work but you'll mostly be at it by yourself. To get an A on each lab expect to spend one full day a week working on it. 70% of your grade is 2 exams. Exams are open note, questions are fair, and the score is curved depending on overall class performance.

Great teacher, even for a student like me who doesn't know anyting about physics.

This class is hard, and you will spend a lot of time learning the concepts. The lectures give you a basic overview, and I recommend reading the textbook for a deeper understanding. Go to his office hours for the homework, he goes over it there. For exams, he gives partial credit, and it's mostly based on the concepts in the lecture quizzes.

Yes, his class is as difficult as everyone says, but it's survivable. If you want an A, you will have to devote most of your time to this class, don't overload yourself with other difficult classes because your grades & mental health will suffer. Exams are tough, so make sure you really know the material bc the 60 min time limit will get you.

The class is hard but it is a good introduction to the world of science (which is nothing but suffering for the most of it). The lectures are clear and engaging. The prof is responsive and willing to explain stuff if you ask. The tests are heavy, but from the midterm, he started accepting scratchwork for partial credit which boosted grades greatly.

Had 3 exams. the last one was comprehensive. The online testing format was a bit intimidating but the problems were easy enough. HW probs were so much harder but they helped to reinforce what you learn in each module. His lectures were nice and short. The lab was a lot more time consuming than I thought so I had to drop a 3 credit class.

Mr. King's lectures provide a base for understanding physics principles. Some parts of his explanations are a bit hard to follow, so I recommend finding a good video to get that topic down. Tests are very easy if you understand the material well and do many practice problems. In comparison, the homework is challenging and is good practice material.

Great teacher, lectures are clear and concise followed by a couple of questions for added emphases. His exams are on topic, relatively easier, and he is generous grader. The weekly home-works are good practice but extremely time consuming.

He is a good lecturer, pretty chill, and grades fast. I would say this was not easy, spent studying more than 3 credit hours for this class. If you want an A in every Test, make sure you understand all the concepts he taught in class. This class is not about solving problems. All the tests are based on how much you understand.

Dr.King is lenient on grading your tests and homework's. Homework is the hardest part and the tests are doable if you study hard and attend lectures. People making bad comments because they either didn't go to class or didn't study. Physics is a hard subject and requires effort!!

Super nice teacher, his lab was really engaging and fun and I highly recommend taking him. Attendance is mandatory for your grade, and there are a total of 3 exams in the semester which cover exactly what you are taught in the labs. Very straightforward class, he is always willing to help if you need it.

The lectures were really helpful in breaking down the material. There is an iClicker participation which is kind of meh. The textbook is mainly there as a supplement and HW is the hardest part of the class, though it's a must-do since you need the practice for the tests. Though tests are what make up most of your grade, they are easier than the HW.

I had a good time with Dr. King's class, he's very open to questions, does a lot of fun examples to explain concepts or just has a good story to go along with the lesson. One of the better classes I've taken at CCSF.

His test are a joke and he gives plenty of opportunities to earn points. If you show up to lecture, conferences, do the homework and are still struggling; I would recommend reevaluating your decision to pursue the hard sciences. The class is catered towards engineers who have a 4A-4B requirement which is disappointing for aspiring physicists.

Dr. King is a great lecturer who breaks down concepts well. The homework is time-consuming but useful practice. Exams are fair if you stay engaged in class and use resources like unstuckstudy for study prep.

Really stellar lecturer. Explains physics with calculus/engineering principles in a way thats easy to grasp imo. Loved his message on studying, "dont assume you know it already." No critique on teaching, just wish points werent so concentrated in a few exams. But you get cheat sheet on tests so pretty easy to pass. 1 HW a week but its a lot of work

Great professor. Clear lectures. The exams were a little challenging, so not quite an easy A, but if you take the time to study and attend all the labs it shouldn't be a problem. Dr King is funny and makes an effort to teach in a way that helps students actually learn and remember the material. Recommend.

If you took AP Physics 1 in high school, this is easier than that. Tests are easier than the homework (yes, he verbally says this). As long as you can confidently answer both the iClicker questions and HW problems, then you're fine. Please note that you have to pay for iClicker.
