Bro Turcotte is a great teacher who explains things very well every time you ask. He cares about you learning the material and makes himself available for out of class questions.

Bro Turcotte is an awesome teachers who cares a lot. Not too much homework, and easy to pass if you just go to class. He pretty much told us exactly what was on the test be giving us example problems! I loved the class, and I wasn't too excited going into it!

For me this was a difficult class. I struggle with understanding and applying the concepts. Bro. Turcotte is very willing to help and try to help you understand, I just don't catch on quickly. But he tells you basically what will be on the test, so if you try your best through the rest, it's possible to do fairly well.

Brother Turcotte is probably one of the nicest guys in the world. His classes are really tough and he teaches them prett well. He is quite possibly the easiest grader on earth though, which helps cause his tests are usually pretty tough.

Great teacher. He'll spend hours with you in his office if it's needed. He knows his stuff. He's tests are really hard, but he grades kindly, so it works out. If fact, because of this, you will learn to solve harder problems without getting a D in the class. A+++

Very nice guy. He is reasonable in his grading. He knows science.

He is a man of Physics, and sometimes he knew as much as we did on certain topics. He does know science though don't get me wrong. He was lenient on his grading, with that said I strongly recommend him

Great teacher! Always willing to help! Loves to take questions and explore ideas!

Great teacher! Not always completely clear but ALWAYS willing to clarify if you ask him. Grades kindly. Tests are difficult but he'll help you out to get a good grade. If you will do the homework and group work you will do fine. Learned a lot!

Easy class just do the work and go to group assignments. He's very understanding and will help you if you talk to him before or after class.

Most of class was very interesting.

he is very very nice and helpful. lets you turn in assignments late especially when you're sick. very easy assignments due every day. gives you more points than you deserve most of the time. midtern and final but both are easy if you study. read the book! easy even if you don't pay attention to his lectures. easy attendance points with the iclicker

I really enjoyed this class. I learned a lot, but it wasn't too hard. I would say it was just right.

I liked Brother Turcotte. His class had a lot of busy work but it wasn't hard, and there was only two tests all semester! He did his best to explain what was read in class, but it was really boring at times. Just show up with the assignments completed and you got it good.

Professor Turcotte really seems to have a real desire to help all his students succeed. He is very understanding, but still expects assignments to be turned in on time. He is very patient and doesn't seem to mind taking extra time to explain certain concepts in class.

I liked the way that Professor Turcotte taught his class becasue it was easy to understand and just enough work to handle.

Good teacher. Fairly easy class if you show up and do the reading

Laid back classroom experience. We did a short reading assignment for each class and one group assignment a week. He knows what he is talking about and is always willing to help.

He was a good professor, I really liked knowing what the assignment was going to be every day. It wasn't to hard, yet I still learned.

I'm a students taking his class this semester. His class is fun to know what science is. I got A-grade as midterm,but I'm trying to get A grade by the end of the semester.

Brother Turcotte is a good guy, but I don't really like science very much period, so I didn't really like the class... but that wasn't because he was a bad teacher

He has easy assignments that are usually busy work. He does require group work every week.

I learned a lot from Brother Turncotte's class. He's more on the quiet side so he's super sweet and he sometimes adds some random jokes which makes class fun. I highly recomment him!

Brother Turcotte is such a great guy!

Brother Turcotte is great about answering questions and making sure you grasp the concept before moving on if you show that you don't understand.

Brother Turcotte is really good about making sure students understand and grasp the course material. There isn't a textbook, but you have to read from a pdf file for every assignment but it really isn't that bad. He was good about explaining the topics and I was able to learn a lot from his class.

I really liked his teaching style. I noticed that he would help us out of class which was nice. I would recommend this class for others

Bro. Turcotte was a pretty good teacher but sometime if he didn't know the answer to a question he'd just subtly change the subject. He made it really easy to get an A and if you do the work, it'll pay off. You have to do group project which I don't particularly like. Overall he was an okay teacher.

Bro. Turcotte is a good professor. His class isn't very hard, you just have to pay attention and do the homework. The homework is easy too. good class.

I enjoyed the group projects and class always flew by. I did learn new material, but nothing absolutely profound. I did enjoy that we always kept the spirit and I often recieved spiritual insights in class or over the homework.

Great teacher! i loved the class even though science isnt my thing i learned a lot!

He is a very good guy who is willing to help you. Not the most interesting of speakers but a good fellow. Really will work with you if you ask.

Brother Turcotte is a great teacher. I would recommend him to any science student.

Brother Turcotte is a great science foundations teacher! He is very quick at getting back to you if you have questions and he works with you if something happens. I'd recommend him to anyone.

Bro. Turcotte is very knowledgeable about Physics but about others things he doesn't know all that much. The class I had with him is FD. SCI 101 it was interesting but sometimes got a little boring. But he is a pretty good teacher.

Brother Turcotte is a great teacher! He will answer your questions and is willing to help you out. I learned a lot in the class. The homework is not bad. Its simple and pretty easy to understand.

This was a good class. He uses the clicker alot and that is where alot of points come from. As long as you attend class and turn in all of the homework and group work you will pass!

Bro Turcotte was a good teacher and really wants you to understand and be successful in his class. If you do the reading and assignments you will be fine!

I think Stephen Turcotte explains things well. I understand what is going on in class and I am learning several things daily.

Brother Turcotte is great! He has a great love for the work and the class has a great environment about it. The group work is a gret way to learn better outside of class.

Bro Turcotte is really easygoing. He's willing to help you make up points for missed days. Some stuff can get a little boring, but i don't really like science so that might be why. there's a lot of online reading, but it's easy. Attendance is important b/c of iclicker questions. go to class and listen, and the tests will be easy. i'd take him again

He is a pretty easy going teacher. He knows his material. You need to be there every class for the clicker questions but it is fun to use the clicker. I would recommend taking him. No textbook-it's all online and easy to get to.

I really enjoyed this guy. The class wasn't hard at all, but you were able to learn a lot if you wanted to. A lot of group projects.

Brother Turcotte is a very good teacher. He listens to your questions and tries to answer them to the best of his ability. The homework and group work was easy. Attendance is important because he does i-clicker questions everyday. I would take a class from again.

He got boring sometimes, but he's easy and the class goes by relatively fast, only take 2 test, no quizzes homework was reasonable.

Not to hard of a teacher but he can be very dry at times

he was boring but was clear on what he wanted and is a great teacher and helps you get the work done

Brother Turcotte, is a good teacher. His work is not overly hard and yet not always easy. To do well you just have to show up and do all your work.

He was very good at answering student questions and making sure that we understand the material

very good teacher

Turcotte is a great teacher and is very laid back. He is willing to help you whether you are confused or need help. Overall a great guy and a good teacher.

The class is pretty easy. There is a ponder/prove assignment and textbook assignment due for each class period. For tests there is only a midterm and a final.

Nice guy classes are interactive i like the way he uses the iclicker

good teacher. kinda boring but better than the last teacher i took for this class. midterm need to study. but if you PAY ATTENTION you will do fine. assignments due every class period.

Really nice guy. Classes mainly consist of big class discussions. Lots of reading. Overall good class.

He was definitely one of my better teachers. The class is relatively easy but you still learn a fair amount. You'll do fine as long as you show up to class with your assignments done.

Brother Turcotte is a great teacher and always willing to help explain. The course is a little difficult because it is so many different ideas it is hard to get them all to soak in. Work load is fair but it takes effort. Have to study for tests!

Easy class work, just stay up to date with it and you'll be fine.

He is a little monotone when he talks but he cares about his students! Just do the reading and turn in your assignments and you should do alright. Participation in class does help!

He is an awesome guy! He is very helpful and he is very willing to work with you on any problems you have. As long as you do all the assignments you'll get a good grade in his class. You don't have any tests except for the midterm and final.If you get a chance, take him!

If you have any questions he is more than willing to help. Hes a great teacher and i highly recommend him!

Great Teacher... So willing to help and answer anybody's questions. I would highly recommend for FDSCI 101. This man is a SAINT!

Great teacher, great subject, great hair, great class! definitely worth it! I loved it!

I really enjoyed Brother TURCOTTE's class. He is a super nice guy and very helpful. He is easy to approach. The homework is just the right amount for a two credit class. You have a short paragraph and a few questions for every reading. Have two of those a week and a group project once a week.

He is a very nice guy. I've taken other foundations classes that were much easier though. There will be a an assignment before each class. I really, really don't like science but brother Turcotte made this class bearable. If you do all of your reading asssignments and study a decent amount for the tests it will give you a B+ in this class not an A.

All in all a pretty good class. It wasn't my favorite ever but I didn't mind it as much as I thought I would. Bro. Turcotte is really nice and knows what he's talking about although it comes across kinda confusing sometimes. I liked the clicker questions and the homework was acceptable.

Very easy going, helpful and great to work with. Wish all teachers could be like him

Good teacher to take the class from. You can tell he's a genius, but he has a hard time dumbing down his intellect for the average student. This makes his explanations confusing sometimes. Good guy though and I would recommend his class.

He is very outgoing. He clarifies most of the readings that we've read from previous assignments. He helps us understand the concepts that we learn. I've learned alot from his class.

He knows his material and has a well outlined/scheduled class. keeps the class interested and goes through the information so that it is understood by all.

If you do what your suppose to do then you'll pass no matter what. There are little assignment do everyday but really they are no big deal. You need to be in class everyday or else you'll lose points for I-Clicker. There is group so there are more easy points. I'm happy I took this class from this teacher!

If you do what your suppose to do then you'll pass no matter what. There are little assignments do everyday but really they are no big deal. You need to be in class everyday or else you'll lose points for I-Clicker. There is group assingments as well but they are fun short ones. I'm happy I took this class from this teacher!

Good teaching, knows what he is talking about. Extremely knowledgeable on the subject. If you do the homework and study for the tests, there shouldn't be a problem.

Explains homework. Has a lot of slideshows to teach and clicker questions.

He's very clear, organized, and helpful when it comes to the material.

He is a really good teacher! The only thing is that his voice is monotone so it is hard to stay awake. But if you can stay awake you'll learn a lot and probably like him :) Oh and the texbook is online.

He is very intelligent but doesn't always explain things well. Yet he is always willing to answer questions and does his best to make things clear.

I really enjoyed the class, as it helped me to gain a better understanding on the subject.

Excellent teacher, knows his stuff

He is a nice guy, keeps you busy with home work all the time. He really tries to do his best. I like him. Do your homework and you'll be fine.

Great class, I was sick for two weeks but he allowed me to email in assignments.

It is a great class, Bro Turcotte is a very patient understanding teacher. Very fun and very easy.

Stephen Turcotte is a wonderful, great teacher. Not only is he extremely intelligent and educated in the areas he teaches, but it is also easy for you to feel, and see how much he cares for each and every one of his students. He is very patient, and will never make you feel ignorant or inadequate for the questions you ask. This course is the type w

Brother Turcotte was a great teacher and made class fun even if not everyone thought it was a fun course to take

Very Helpful. Always willing to lend a hand, and interested in his work and us, as students.

For such a large class, Bro. Turcotte does an excellent job in making himself available to students for one on one time to resolve any questions or concerns. He is clear and concise, and what he teaches actually applies to life.

Turcotte is genuine and kind. His classes cover the material on the exams clearly and his homework is manageable and interesting.

Probably the nicest science teacher I've ever had. No horrible ego. He's really nice about homework. Probably the best professor I could have had for a Sci 101 class.

extremely helpful and understanding

It's really hard to listen to a lecture class especially about science, but he makes it interesting. Anyone could take this class and learn something about the basics of Science. And Bro. Turcotte is a good teacher, very understanding, and willing to work with you unlike some teachers.

Great teacher. The class is great if you just keep up on your daily work. Helpful and one of the best science teachers I've had.

Bro. Turcotte is cool and knows a ton about science. Really explains the concepts well and is willing to work with students

Turcotte is the man! Take this class

He is a pretty laid back teacher he will usually accept late work. The homework isn't too difficult. You do a lot of group work. He just lectures and has a very monotone voice that put me to sleep. It isn't the most exciting class I have taken. I didn't really learn a lot of new information. However, it is a fairly easy class.

It was a big class but he took care to make sure no one was lost every lost. He was able to explain complicated concepts in a way that was easy to understand.

He is an awesome teacher. If you go and hand in assignments, you'll pass. He tries his hardest to make sure all 100 of us understand-he doesnt move too fast, and is always willing to help. HE FOLLOWS THE LEARNING MODEL.

Science is my worst topic, and he really made me understand alot better.

He is a very awesome teacher. I'm not into science but he definitely made it more understandable. He really helped to answer all questions, and the ponder/prove assignments made it easier for me to figure out what topics weren't clear to me.

He is very understanding and willing to help his students.

I thought he did a good job of covering the material and working with us to help us understand. We were responsible for being prepared for class, and we also learned a lot from each other.

He's very fair when it come to grading and is flexible to our circumstances. A good teacher who is honest.

good teacher. does his best to help you out.

I reaky like bro Turcotte as a teacher. He cares about his students and takes the time to explain the material. Highly recommend Bro. Turcotte

Lecturew were easy to understand and interesting, but homework took a lot of time and I learned little from it.

Brother Turcotte is a very nice teacher. If you do all of the assignments and ponder and prove assignments, then you will get a good grade. There is a lot of group work. But he is a fairly easy teacher and you will learn a lot.

Brother Turcotte is an awesome teacher. He's very intelligent and yet so humble. It's also obvious that he cares a lot about his students. Never seemed rude or annoyed with even the dumbest questions asked. I think the class is really a waste of time and probably one of the stupidest classes I'll take, but Brother Turcotte is awesome.

he knows his stuff!

Bro. Turcotte is a very helpful teacher and wants his students to learn the materials. The course is not very difficult, (to me it was comparable to a high school science course) and it is easy to get a good grade if you do the assignments before class. The tests are based almost solely on the readings, so if you read you can pass the tests.

Very nice guy, he teachers really well so everyone is able to understand the material. He doesn't seem very excited about it, though.

Bro Turcotte is an awesome teacher! He makes sure that we understand things and answers every question well. You can tell that he knows tons about science. The course is very straightforward and you know what is expected of you. I would recommend Bro Turcotte to anyone!

good at explaining things, sometimes a little bit boring, but not bad.

He is a great teacher. Very helpful and understanding.

He is a very kind professor, very helpful and understanding. Just pay attention, and do your assignments every class and you will get an A. He's very good at listening and being interested in students comments, which I appreciate in a professor.

Professor teaches clearly and works to help students understand the subject matter.

Excellent Teacher. There are daily assignments (which are easy). In class points with clickers are easy. You will choose science project groups on the 1st day of class ... so choose wisely. 2 projects. No exams other than midterm and final. Really easy to get an A if you come to class and do all the assignments. He is the nicest professor yet.

He is a great teacher. It's a broad and general science class so it's hard for him to "dumb it down" sometimes. Class consists of: daily lecture prep assignments, weekly group projects, clicker questions, and in-class group assignments. It's not that hard of a class though. Just a lot of work for a 2 credit class.

Seriously, any average student could get an A with this class. It just requires some work, but not as much as most classes you'll take. He realizes its just a 101 class and makes it easy. He interacts well with the students considering how large of a class it is. I recommend him to everyone, great class, easy A and you learn a lot. Great guy!

I really enjoyed Brother Turcotte. HE wasnt the smartest in some areas but you could tell he had studied them and really enjoyed learning about them himself. Somethings you learn at the same time he does. He knows his physics though! Great teacher and a really nice guy. His Fianl was a bit rediculous on a powerpoint with each question timed.

Bro Turcotte is a such a stereotypical science teacher (glasses, tie, monotone etc), but I LOVE it! He pulls it off! His class is so easy, but his tests are a little hard.

Do the reading, you get a hundred on the homework(or close to it)which is very easy, usually 5 or so questions and a short answer , do that and show up to class and you'll get a hundred on the in class clicker questions. You get assigned groups the first day, but talk to him if you hate them. Do the group work in class and out and there's an A.

Brother Turcott is a great teacher. Some of his group projects are time-consuming, but he explains things really well and his tests are not very hard. He offers extra credit. Class time helps you learn and the assignments don't take too long. I would recommend Brother Turcott. The class is really thought-provoking.

I was not looking forward to this class AT ALL, but I ended up really enjoying my time there. Bro Turcotte is just the sweetest thing since apple pie and he is always willing to help you out if you encounter a problem with the homework or the i-clicker. He teaches with the Spirit and is so patient in explaining the concept. Take his class!

Beginning Physics Lab was a really easy class, but I learned how to calculate error. It's a bit frustrating because you only apply one or two of the equations he has you read about, but the labs are fun. He knows physics, but makes mistakes on the quizzes. He's a very sweet man, willing to answer any questions you have, even on the final lab!

Good teacher. Attending class is recommended since every class has clicker questions and in-class group assignments. A computer would also be wise to bring since he really likes to use excel. Very willing to try to explain it so that you understand and is willing to understand how you can to your conclusion.

Brother Turcotte is awesome. You can learn a lot from him just by how he carries himself.

Extremely nice guy. I wish he taught other classes that I could take. He was pretty straight forward. Not very interesting but you can tell he is pretty smart and loves to teach.

Brother Turcotte is by far the best science foundations teacher at BYU-I. If you do the reading and are in class for the clicker questions you will be golden on the exams. I read reviews on every teacher before I found this wonderful gem of a man. I've refereed over four friends to take the class all of which have received or will receive and A.

He's an awesome teacher. There's a reasonable amount of work, and the tests are pretty easy. I would totally recommend him! He's extremely understanding and is totally willing to work with his students.

he is a great teacher! very didatic. You will never get bored in his class because he makes you do cool stuff. Definitely recommended. If you do the homework... you are set

You can tell off the back that Bro. T has a passion in what he's teaching and in the gospel. He is very knowledge. If you do the homework and are in class everyday for clicker questions you're set. He's clear in the review making the exam easy! Take Him :)

do the prep work and show up to class and it'll be a walk in the park. really enjoyed Bro. T's class. he is the nicest teacher on campus!

Brother Turcotte was a good teacher. Easy class. If you do the work and the clicker questions, should be an easy A.

Fantastic teacher! Brother Turcotte helped me to improve myself and my love for science! Really chill and as long as you do your work this class is going to be a breeze!

So chill and relaxed! Must attend class though since you have classwork to turn in at the end of class. Otherwise, super easy as long as you keep up with the homework due before class.

I pretty much dreaded going to this class. It is super easy and Brother Turcotte is willing to help you. You only have 2 tests but about 4-6 assignments per week. It was terribly boring and I felt like I learned this material in 2nd grade. Brother Turcotte is not engaging, but he is willing to help you.

Didn't know a thing about physics when taking this class. Came out with an A-. Hard to understand some comments but he always asks for input from his students to try and help us all learn well. After hours were very helpful. Uses the iClicker for attendance and participation points. EASY GRADING! Seriously. Take him. Learn lots and get a good grade

Brother Turcotte is awesome! The work load was the exact same every week, and I always knew what was expected by me. Only 1 midterm and one final exam. He is also one of the nicest people on the earth. I had trouble accessing an assignment, and he helped me through and emailed me a week later to make sure I had figured it out. Very nice man!

I LOVE HIM! The work load is very consistent and he never gives busy work, in class activities are fun and doable. If you have a heavy work load and need an FDSCI class, take him! he is clear cut and to the point with everything, Very personable and a great person! Invites the spirit into class and encouraged questions and learning.

He doesn't teach very clearly and tends to rush through the material, but he is also very helpful and very approachable if you ever have any questions or if you get behind.

Bro. Turcotte is a great guy. Just a solid, likable guy. His lectures are a little fast, but he is very approachable. He clearly goes over everything that would be on the test. No surprises. He has two workbook days a week. That is where I learned it all.

I enjoyed the class very much and he cares about his students. He designs his class to get the students to learn and pass the class. He provides cool, real life applications and I was engaged. I learned a lot and enjoyed going to his class. Sometimes he moved a little fast, but he was always willing to drop everything and answer your questions.

Brother Turcotte is a good teacher. The preparations for the classes are tough but if you study for them every day you won't have problem passing. He also sees if you are trying hard in his class and he will help you.

I loved Intro to Robotics. It was so much fun! Everything you do is with the same group all semester, and you need to be there in class. You only have a single class period each week, but there is a makeup lab every Thursday evening that I found we had to attend each week (like almost every other group). The class and the work were very fun!

Brother Turcotte is the best! You can tell that he wants you to understand and to do well in his class. His lectures are super great as he will often have demonstrations that show the concept that is being learned. So far the best professor I've ever had.

For this being my first semester back in school, Brother Turcotte was super nice. When questions were asked, he knew the answer. He responded to emails or concerns. His tests arent too terrible, unless you dont study for them of course. Over all he is a great teacher.

He makes Physics easy. Lectures with examples, lets you do examples with groups and explains it after. Test prep, gives you study guide with what will be on test, nothing unexpected, Gives partial credit for write on. Caring guy, and you'll learn. He wants you to succeed and will do all he can to help.

Brother Turcotte didn't really guide the instruction in-class, he was there more to introduce and facilitate the labs and to answer questions if we had them. He was understanding and if you didn't get things right away he would help you out, but most of the class relied on you working with your own group.

Brother Turcotte is the most reasonable professor on campus at BYUI. He teaches very clearly and will answer any questions you have. He is available outside of class and will help you understand what you don't. The homework is not difficult. I did not get very much from the numerical assignments but they are not too bad. Great sense of humor. Best

Don't take him for 150, but definitely for others. The homework and tests seem really intimidating and make you think hard but he grades so leniently you basically can't fail. He gives a lot of partial credit for almost nothing and he answers questions well. When we had to transition to remote he gave us 100% for just showing up from then on.

Professor Turcotte is incredibly helpful. He's always posting tutorials or videos to help you through physics problems. Physics is hard but he makes it bearable.

Brother Turcotte is my favorite professor at BYU-Idaho. I wish every professor would grade things the way he does. He understands how difficult physics can be and he wants to help you not only pass the class but excel in the class. Ask him questions and keep asking until you get the answer you are looking for. half credit for wrong MC questions.

Brother Turcotte is the man! Super laid back guy who wants you to succeed in physics. He has videos prepared to explain the few homework assignments that he assigns each week. His lectures are engaging and he gives you credit for going to class. I would strongly recommend taking physics from Brother Turcotte.

Honestly, this class was difficult for me just because I am not very good at building robotic parts. His class is set up in a way that is difficult to fail, and even when you do, there are makeup labs. He is very understanding and just wants you to be able to show that your robot works even though it's not perfect. The TA's are amazing as well.

I like Brother Turcotte as a teacher. He's like a super physics smart but soft natured guy. Lecture 3 days and work days for 2 days in the week. He teaches well, at a good pace for me, and will pause to help students understand things. He grades pretty leniently and helps us with homework problems that are hard. Online textbook.

This class is very difficult. It is a lot of work and that is just the reality of physics. Brother Turcotte helps you succeed and is very understanding and has mercy when grading. He is very kind and I would love to take another class from him.

Professor Turcotte makes this challenging physics class manageable. His lectures are clear, and he's always willing to help students understand. Using Unstuck study and the online textbook, I was able to succeed.

He cares and is very accessible to students. There is online hw that is time consuming. In class we have a lecture with clicker questions and on certain days we do group assignments. Because of the group assignments, you get to know the whole class and everyone is friends. Loved the class atmosphere!
