Rupinder is amazing, relates everything to real life examples, makes physics fun
Rupinder is a great teacher, his notes are awesome and very easy to follow. 8.5 thumbs up
Rupinder is great, he made me love physics again .......RUPIES GROUPIE for life
Rupinder is the best! Hilarious and knowledgeable at the same time. Very approachable about questions, always willing to help. Keep teaching physics!! Although, teach more about special relativity..it is far more interesting than optics :).
Amazing professor. He really knows how to keep the class engaged and teach the material in an appropriate fashion. There should be more professors like him teaching around this country.
funny
funny guy
Awesome teacher!! Good solid example use. Relation to real world problems. Way to go sir!
I <3 Rupinder. My fav prof ever.
this guy amuses me to no end. he keeps us entertained by spinnin in his chair and throwing stuff at students. he made me like physics, which i didnt think was possible. his lectures are fun and well prepared. in my nickname, it isnt "in physics" its "party with rupinder!"
Very good at explaining things so you can understand and relate to them. Will always provide any extra help you want.
he is da bezt prof i got 4 diz semester. he iz da BEST. He has a good senze of hummmmmerrr :P (he iz a really funny)RUPINDER........YOU ROCKZ RUPINDER!!!! YOUR toooo hot to be a prof.....lol :)

VOTE FOR RUPINDER! http://www.tvo.org/TVOsites/WebObjects/TvoMicrosite.woa?bestlecturer he will be appearing on TVO SAT JAN 27th@5pm. voting begins afterwards!
Rupinder Brar is extremely dedicated to his work. He manages to teach the material and still have fun at the same time. His technique help students with little or no knowledge of the subject. He's a wonderful person and everyone should have him as a professor.
goooood
Rupinder was too amazing :)
He's a nice guy. Doesnt like ANY form of teaching. he's actually a candidate for the NDP in a riding off in mississauga somewhere....erinville? he's a decent teacher.
Really great prof! I suck at Physics but he made me SORTA like it haha
He is an amazingggggg prof!!! =)
Amazing prof!
this guy is really good
awesome prof
Awesome.
One of the best profs I have ever had. I HATED physics with a passion, he explained it in such a way that I actually enjoyed it! Classes were a lot of fun, makes coming to class worth your while. Definitely one of the best. TAKE HIS CLASSES! You won't regret it! Keep it up Ruppie!
Awesome!
hes really good at what he does
just gets really into it and loves what he does and makes you want to come to class
Great prof, loves to teach and loves to help. Makes lectures interesting and interactive at the same time. Exams were tuned exactly to what is covered, and well made. Great Prof, one of the best ive ever had
one of if not THE best prof at UOIT, theres a reason why he wins the TVO best lecturer award every year
I was a person who never understood physics which made me not like it, no prof. at high school could explain and get the concepts across properly. If you are one of those then, I assure you that after attending his lecture you will just love it.I ended up getting A+, and was a person who never understood physics. In simple words Rupinder Roxx!! :D
He was a great professor! I did okay in physics in grade 12, but he completely cleared up a lot of concepts that I had previously found difficult to understand. I'm so glad that I took his class!
loved going to his lectures
One of the best professors at the school. Teaches a large amount of material in physics and makes it understandable.
Very helpful prof. Makes everything easy to understand. Would definitely take another course if he's teaching it as an elective.
What can I say about Rupinder. He is the Greatest Professor ever!!! That pretty much sums it up
Take this class! Rupinder won "Best Lecturer" in Ontario for a reason. Be prepared to learn, laugh, and understand our world and our surroundings on a whole new level.
He really into the lecture, but his lectures are things, and his tests are totally something else. He doesn't explain the too tricky problems he provide in the tests during the lecture which leave you totally lost in the test.
He is an awesome professor! He make lessons interesting such that you want to learn more. If you pay attention in his class and write notes than its not hard!
BEST PROF EVER
Great prof, I wish I had him for more classes!
He is an amazing prof! I think it is the only class I have taken where I truly love going to class. I learned so much!
4th year student at uoit..only prof I enjoyed listening to
Very passionate about his teaching. Explains well and stays after class to help students. Attending class is a must gives a lot of quizzes with password so have to be in class to do them. Overall learned a lot from his class.
Hilarious, informative and helpful.
Really funny, but still delivers all the material. Lectures are crowded because so many people come to them from other sections.
one of the best profs, ever. he is the only prof i enjoyed listening to. he knows what he is doing, and makes it more fun and more interesting. people from other section flock into his section to listen to him.
Simply the BEST PROF EVER!
He is an amazing prof if you don't attend you may miss major hints about midterms and finals but overall his teaching style is amazing he tries to keep the class involved.
This professor is great. He uses all the possible gestures in order to clarify things for his students and most of all he is fun and genius.
he is funny but his exams are not, he teach easy problems in his lectures but in his exams you won't have any idea what is going on.
Favourite prof so far
Best prof. Too easy though
Made first year bareable
He was great
Amazing Professor!
Loved the class.
Rupinder is an amazing professor. I took his Intro to Astronomy class and it was absolutely amazing! He really cares about the students and how well they understand the material, and he gives visual aids for people that are visual learners. I would take any of his physics courses just so that I could have him again (and I don't like physics!)
Excellent prof. Best introduction into university. Makes it easy and clear for students. Best prof here.
Great, funny guy recommended getting in his class!
It's physics so of course, if you don't put in any effort you won't do very well. But with Rupinder physics went from my lowest mark by a letter grade to my highest mark! He goes through everything at the perfect pace and there are absolutely no surprises if you go through his lectures. LOVE HIM!!!
Loved astronomy going into his class. His lectures were 3 hours long. But he made it a fun 3 hours. He keeps you interested, tells jokes here and there, always in a good mood and is very enthusiastic about his subjects. Overall, great prof.
Had him for physics I, I never took physics in high school at all but he made it so easy I got an A+. Honestly the best prof I have ever had. Also awesome for astronomy.
Best prof iv ever had by far
He does a really good job explaining things
Awesome prof, probably the best you can have for physics. You have to work hard but he is great.
If you go tot his lectures you'll love listing to him and you'll never fail his class
Great professor! Makes topics interesting and easy to understand.
Rupinder is an amazing prof. Before I hated physics and because of him I switched my major! The best prof I have ever had and is super helpful in office hours and makes an effort to know your name.
Very enthusiastic about the subject he teaches. Interacts with the class in every lecture, makes sitting through a lecture fun. A funny professor that explains thing very well. I know many people skip their lectures that they have with other physics professors to sit in on Rupinders lectures instead. The lecture hall is always full
He is always energized and very approachable
The best professor I have ever had! I have never taken an astronomy let alone science course and finished with an A+ due to this professor's amazing lectures. He really engages students and embeds a genuine interest in their studies. Plus he's hilarious! Very helpful, and makes exams and midterms fair. I would recommend anyone to take astronomy!
great prof
My all-time favourite professor, strongly recommend for Physics I.
Amazing Professor.
THE MAN. Seriously, do yourself a favor if you are taking physics and get him as a professor. He makes the hardest topics simple and makes physics enjoyable. I would really recommend going to all of his lectures because they should be your primary source of studying.
The best prof in the first year. Fantastic lectures, worth going to just for entertainment. Quite easy when it comes to midterms and exams
Such a fun prof. Lectures are fun to go to, he explains the concepts very well. Im taking astronomy this coming year just because he's teaching it. F'real duck astronomy. Love the Brar
The best professor ever....
One of the best professor that I had so far.... If you are doing life sciences, where physics in mandatory for the 1st year. Make sure you have Dr. Rupider Brar because he makes your life more easy and physics more fun to learn. He basically makes the most harder topic more fun and enjoyable. Use your office hours and a very kind human being.
One of the best profs I have ever had. Took astronomy again just to have him as a prof for a second time.
Excellent Professor
Best teacher I have ever had. Made class fun and I really learned a lot! Actually enjoyed coming to class.
Rupinder had such a big influence on me after just one semester with him. He is the most entertaining professor Ive had in lecture, which makes physics a lot better. He uses a lot of visuals to help you really understand what is happening; a common misconception in physics. The best prof Ive ever had and I would highly recommend!
He is a fun guy whose lectures you would love to attend (especially if you taken Zahraa Ibrahim before) .IMO, he is overrated as he is decent but not great at explaining concepts. Also, I wish he was more sympathetic/compassionate towards the students during the office hours.
One of the best profs out there!
He gets sidetracked a lot and focuses too much on being cool to actually get to the point. It takes him like one hour to get through 5 slides so everyone loses interest by the last 30 minutes of class because he's spending time trying to catch up with all the time he lost. Maybe if he didn't stress the class about the quizzes it would be be better
Hilarious, fair, knows what he's talking about
He's the funniest guy; and probably one of the smartest profs at the uni
He was pretty cringy at first but the man grew on me. Make sure you take the physics and calc prereq though if you wanna do well.
Amazing teacher
one of the best professors I've had. makes physics class understandable with real life examples.
real good at teaching.
Great prof.
Great guy! He explains concepts and ideas clearly. His lecture notes are step by step and easy to understand. His midterms and exams come straight from his lectures, there are no tricks, so if you study the lectures you'll do fine! Overall a great experience I wish more profs were like him!
Amazing prof, memorable lectures. Super passionate about what he teaches. Probably the best professor this school has
The best lecturer this university has to offer.
For once in my life I actually looked forward to attending physics class due to how clear Rupinder is in lecture. I finally understood concepts I previously could not. The midterms and exams were very fair with questions coming out of the lecture and assigned textbook questions, be sure to do the homework and tests will be a breeze!
Dr. Brar Inspires so much curiosity for learning in his lectures. I found that his class was what I was looking forward to all week. If you attend all the lectures, do all the tutorials, modules, and do around 60% of the textbook homework, you will be fine. Just pay attention and don't let yourself fall behind. He's by far one of the greatest Profs
Amazing Professor! Lectures are clear and easy to understand, and he is always available to help students struggling to understand. Midterm and Exam questions are taken right from lecture content! Study the lectures and you will have no problems!
BEST PROF AT UOIT. Very helpful towards his students esp with his problem sets at office hours. easily explains the hardest topics, so that you leave class at so much ease. Tests are fair, problem sets help you prepare for it. Would definitely recommend taking his classes.
As someone with adamant hate for physics, Rupinder made it much more fun than I expected. Make sure you attend and pay attention to lectures, tutorials/exams usually are faithful to lecture topics. Admittedly, I didn't do as well as I could've since I have no attention span.
Best prof at UOIT
Great prof, his lecture are very interesting and engaging. Tests are also very fair.
i love this prof!
GREATEST PROF EVER , HE SHOULD GET PAID MORE , he cares for his students so much and is willing to help you at anytime.
Hands down the best professor for physics at UOIT. Occasionally had to use the textbook for sample problems for self-learning. However, his tests were fair, and he always made time for his students to help better their understanding, even if it was for LON-CAPA. I recommend him any day!
The best physics teacher i've ever had and he made me look forward to class and understand things super well. He also made class fun and everyone loves him
He’s the goat of physics
Such an awesome professor! He's amazing at explaining concepts and a super engaging lecturer
Rupinder Brar is easily one of the best profs at Ontario Tech. Despite physics 2 being a tricky course, he made even the toughest of topics simple with his amazing teaching style. I would highly recommend taking him for any 1st-year of physics courses you may have.
I wish there was an option to tag more traits but anyhow Rupinder is the all-time goat for physics. Considering he was a translator in the X-Men movie he's truly the best physics prof. He really gave bonuses, especially during the strike UOIT had. He is truly blessed to help students
One of the best professors at Ontario Tech University. I would highly recommend him for any future physics courses you may take.
He's an amazing prof. I had him for two of my courses. Just make sure to go to class and participate. He offers so many ways he can help, so be sure to use them. He also makes his course grading diverse, so for example, if you do badly in tutorials, your lab grades can help a lot. Put in the work, put in the hours, and take away a great experience!
I wish this website would let me give him more great/GOATED traits about him cause he is a GOAT for physics
hes a GOAT
Awesome teacher, so energetic and fun to listen to, he covers a lot of material so be sure to pay attention, even the extra credit stuff is worth doing
He is a lecture master, he will grab your attention, make you laugh, and explain everything in the best way possible. Go to the lectures, it is the most important part of the course if you want to learn without studying for hours alone before a midterm or exam.
Great professor. Teaching method worked very nicely for myself and others.
Amazing professor. 10/10 in all categories
He's an amazing professor at Ontario Tech University.
Rupinder is one of the best professors I have ever encountered. Absolutely wonderful person and lecturer. I think anyone taking Physics or Astronomy would benefit to having him if you need either of them. Being new to Physics, the way he taught Intro Physics really helped me feel comfortable. I cannot recommend him enough. You will not regret it
He really pours his heart out into his lectures
amazing
This is by far one of the more exceptional professors at UOIT, his energy and excitement about the subjects he teaches makes you look forward to lectures, and allows you to learn in a captivating manor. His tests are fair, and he genuinely cares about his students. 100% recommend taking any course this professor teaches, you will be satisfied!
I used to despise physics in high school, but Brar helped me enjoy and UNDERSTAND physics! His teaching style and overall personality are one of the best at OTU, highly recommend.
The only thing to describe Brar ,the GOAT prof He is an exception at OTU the only prof who cares 4 students.His lec are amazing and you acc learn and enjoy and youll pass his phy by just attending lec.& also going to his office hour helps alot and you get to connect.He is the best thing going to happen to you in your uni life
This guy is a generational talent. Bro really gifted us free marks with those bonus lon capas ngl. RUPINDERS THE GOAT!
RUPINDER IS THE GOAT! SO GREAT. NOT ONLY A GREAT LECTUER BUT ALSO AN ACTOR! I GOT A PHOTO WITH HIM :) HE'S VERY FUNNY AND CARING. THE CONTENT ISN'T TOO HARD ESPECIALLY IF YOU TOOK PHYSICS IN HIGH SCHOOL. PAY ATTENTION, ASK QUESTIONS, AND PRACTICE AND YOU WILL DO GREAT. ALSO RUPINDER IS ONE OF THE FEWEST PROF AT ONTARIO TECH THAT IS ACUTALLY FUNNY.
great prof, easy to understand
I love him, hes goated and i miss him
very good prof, wish he could teach me throughout uni
He's great and was in season 4
Best Prof
Very good prof, excellent teacher, he genuinely cares and will help as much as he can
Best Professor I have had so far.
I had him last semester for Physics 1010U. In my 3 years of uni, I have never missed anyone's lectures/teaching more than his. A genuine, phenomenal guy, no wonder he got the award for best lecturer and a 5/5 on rate my prof. If you ever get the chance to take him, DO IT. don't question it, you will love him wallah.
Best proffesor
Amazing I would do anything to be in his class again
He was awesome
He's great
Amazing prof, his lectures are engaging and you can tell that he is really passionate about the content. He clarifies and explains new concepts really well without assuming prior knowledge, even re-explaining things that were already explained in previous lectures. I would 100% recommend attending his lectures even if you are not in his section.
His lecture content is quite basic (and I might even say very easy) and not too dense in terms of information. He covers a few definitions, provides equations, and then gives a multi-part practice problem to work on during class. Relying solely on his lectures won't be enough for the exams; review additional resources if you're not confident in phy
He is clear and concise regarding the material distributed. Even with a second professor (Dr. Valeri Kapoustine) he is able to effectively organize material with the interest of his students in mind. His exams are clear and on topic regarding the material he encouraged us to review prior to such exam. Overall Dr. Brar is a wonderful teacher.
One of the best profs I've had. Brar's lectures are engaging and he really cares about student learning. Attendance is mandatory but worth it - use Unstuckstudy alongside the free textbook for great prep.
Great Professor
Literally the best prof in UOIT y FAR. He's also so kind:)
I hadn't taken a physics class before this and it was one of my easiest courses this sem. Just make sure you do the homework and in-class examples and you'll do well on the exam.
Amazing prof would love to have him again
Really great lectures, clear explanations, practice questions together, fun guy.
Really wanna focus on lectures since first understanding really sticks when finals hit. Such a sweet and understanding prof. I thought I would bomb physics since I was awful in high school but I got an A! He's super busy since everyone wants to see him during office hours, would recommend to email him, he responds quick and is just as helpful
Rupinder is easily one of the best professors at Ontario Tech. Very knowledgeable and explains physics concepts well, it's obvious that he truly enjoys teaching. The world needs more people like him! And did I mention that he's also quite a tall guy at 6 foot 5 inches?
Great Prof, Ok.
Professor Bara was exceptional. His professionalism, respect, and clear explanations created an engaging and supportive learning environment. He made complex concepts easy to understand and enjoyable. His dedication to students and well-organized resources ensured success I'm grateful for his class and would gladly take another course w/ him
Amazing!!!!!!!!!
My favorite professor! In both his physics classes and pop/culture/science classes, he can really turn interesting life topics into extremely hard science matters keeping it fun, somehow! He can upgrade the ordinary person, which I think university should be all about, scientific evolution... this is the kind of professor for it! -chandara
Hes overrated, people speak too good about him
He's a super great prof, super supportive, great way of teaching, highly recommend.
Amazing Prof, and actually cares about students.
I love this class, even though phsyics is hard he makes it easy to learn
One of the best professor at the entire school. His lectures are phenomenal. He puts in the most time and effort into a course I have ever seen. If you put in the work, you will do well. Any chance you get, TAKE HIS COURSE.
For anyone worried who did not take hs physics don't be, he teaches it as if you are a 5th grader. My little brother could learn from this prof he is that good. As long as you don't fool around and listen in class you will succeed. He is a great prof and always answers questions properly, I recommend this prof to anyone looking to take physics
I'm in engineering, so I miss having profs like Dr. Brar for my classes. His lectures are crystal-clear, and makes hard subjects like physics easy to understand. I used to hate physics in high school, but taking his class back in first year made me love it. Grading is also very fair. Highly recommend him to anyone taking first year physics!
