Very clear, explains things so you can understand. Tough grader.

Best math or science professor I've had at state. Very engaging, very funny, makes the material seem easy, even if it's very complicated. Tough grader, though.

Really straightforward & does tons of examples. Has a gift for simplification. I disagree that he's a tough grader. That's not at all true. As long as you attend class and stay up on the homework you should have no problem in the class. His only downside is that he is a little cocky at times & takes awhile to respond to emails. Good teacher.

Steve is a very good teacher,he explains concepts very well,and is motivated to teach them. He presents the material in a way that you can understand. He is very organized, everything is available online. Only bad thing is he takes FOREVER to grade things. Grades are NEVER posted on time. Overall good teacher.

Best teacher I've had at college regardless of subject. He is intelligent and has a great grasp for both his subject and everything else you could possibly ask. His classes are enjoyable and beneficial. I gained a better grasp on understanding math than I will with any other professor.

The best instructor I have ever had.

Best teacher ever!!!!! He keeps you interested and explains all the concepts clearly.

Leduc is the best math teacher I have ever had! He does tons of examples and makes sure you understand them fully before going on. He is also very funny which kept me awake through his classes! His tests are straight forward and he normally tells you what types of problems will be on it, so just study the notes, and you will do fine!

Best teacher ever. He takes something like calculus and makes it easy. I look forward to going to his class. He is so devoted he posted the past 10 finals for this class, and the solutions to them and is reviewing them in class to help us study.

Overrated by being the best? Of course not, because he is the best, duh.

He is by far the best professor I have ever had in my three years at SDSU. He makes the subject interesting. I was never bored in ANY of his classes. He is very, very helpful and never makes you feel dumb for asking a question. If you get the chance, take a class with Leduc!!!!!!

Organized, funny, clear. Makes complex concepts seem easy. Never opened text book, his lecture notes and examples are clear and sufficient enough to pass exams and do hw problems.

One of the best professors I've ever had. He brings these complex mathematical concepts down to a level where anyone can understand them, he is clear and organized and not to mention hilarious.

AWESOME TEACHER!!! If you can take him, do it. He is always willing to explain things if you dont get them (he even helped our class with our physics after hours since our teacher for physics was so bad) The homework isnt that bad, and I felt really prepared going into the final

He's a great teacher. I failed, but from my own stupid fault. He even checked in with me to make sure there was nothing he could do to help. He makes the subject as simple and possible, and is fun to listen to. The class was always laughing. Even kids from other 151 classes would attend his because he explained things so clearly.

Steve was an AWESOME professor. I'm so bummed that he doesn't teach more math classes. But he really is one of the best math teachers I've ever had. He teaches the material in a way you can understand, so lectures are helpful. Got lots of practice. His tests are completely fair, nothing surprising. Would recommend him for all!

By far the best math teacher I have ever had, and I have had some pretty awesome math teachers!

Excellent teacher. Very clear and organized. His notes are all you need. Makes complicated stuff seem easy by breaking it down into simple steps.

100 x better than Menegus. Absolutely no offense to Menegus, though; I absolutely love him, too. Leduc's teaching methods are perfect and he makes everything very understandable. His jokes are hilarious. And he's extremely helpful. Take any class you possibly can with this guy.

BEST TEACHER EVER. HE COULD TEACH ANY SCIENCE OR MATH BASED CLASS AND TEACH IT WELL. HE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO TEACH MORE CLASSES THEN THE DEPT ALLOWS HIM.

Steve is by far the BEST professor I've ever had...he explains everything in a way that's easy to understand and as long as you do the homework and take the notes, you'll do good on his tests...and his class is sooo much fun! He's so nice :)

He is a good teacher who knows what he is talking about and should be allowed to teach more classes. He knows the material and he presents it very well!

excellent teacher, very fun and energetic and knows EXACTLY what he is talking about. Highly recommended

Steve is without a doubt the best teacher at state. I was really nervous going in to physics, I've always been good at math, but physics is different. Steve breaks it down for you SO GOOD. he is always available for assistance, he returns email promptly, and is easy to communicate with. 4 test, just study all the work sheets. i got an A u can 2

He's a great teacher. He's a cool guy! Whenever i emailed him it took about a couple days to return a response. His tests are the same as his worksheets done in class, just didfferent numbers. Study A LOT!!

He brakes down the most complicated concepts and gives easy step by step instructions for how to approach these problems.

Amazing professor, I highly recommend him. He presented everything in a clear concise manner.

TEXTBOOK NOT REQUIRED! That's right, a science class that doesn't need a textbook. He made physics extremely EASY, problem worksheets are very helpful and all the notes for each exam are summarized on a sheet posted on his site a few days before the exam. Funny, helpful, great guy. A godsend for State's poor fundamental physics dept.

For physics 180B he was amazing. Class was interesting, never boring and we had to do minimum studying for tests. He is a funny guy and explains things so well its wonderful, he has multiple choice tests and I got high A's on all of them without ever opening my book

DON'T BUY THE BOOK you won't open it, he teaches you everything you need to know. This is the 2nd time I had him and he is the best teacher I have had a state yet!!!! any class he teaches take it!!

Ever heard of Princeton Review? Yeah, this guy designed the course! He came back to teach college for fun. Greatest teacher I've had my entire college career. Don't even think about taking anyone else. Take Steve's class.

I had Steve for both physics classes. He teaches so clearly that I believe anyone can ace his class if they put in the effort. Plus he's funny!

I Dreaded going into Physics. But Steve is the frickin funniest nicest coolest teacher i have EVER had!He makes everything super easy! I think that if he was a teacher for Rocket scientist everyone would be joining NASA!

I hated physics, I still do. I took this class with Tony Demouro and he made my life hell. I had to retake the stupid class and I took it with steve and got an A. I got an A! Not because I learned anything from taking it before, but because Steve is an awesome teacher! WOW, thanks so much steve. You should be the only Proff teachingPhysics at state

Steve is the best physics teacher at SDSU, he should be the only one teaching physics. Physics is hard, but Steve breaks it down for you and hand feed you the material! I hate physics but he makes it so understandable that if you put enough effort you can get an easy A. Dont take it with anyone else, take it with STEVE LEDUC he'll make your life ez

the best physics teacher at state. four tests and the cumlative final. there are worksheets for each class and they are your bible for the semester. study from the worksheets and really study ahead for the final because there is alot of material to cover. homework every sunday from masterphysics, but it not bad. overall best teacher ever

Physics 180a with Steve Leduc a great intro to college physics. I was nervous about taking physics since it wasn't a great subject for me in high school but Prof. Leduc broke it all down into manageable bits. Lectures were great - lots of examples and he always posts notes online. Tests were fair and grades were always posted quickly.

Steve is an AWESOME physics teacher! His lessons are clear and he will gladly help anyone who needs help. Steve also entertains the class by cracking a few jokes here and there which makes class fun! 4 tests (drops lowest one), hw every sunday (not that bad), and cumulative final. I don't enjoy physics and I got an A!

He is an awesome teacher and curves the test scores in his own way.

Steve is an awesome professor. I wish he taught all the hard sciences classes. Class has 4 test, hw,and final. lowest of 4 exams is dropped. He is super clear in his teaching style and class objectives. His lectures are fun to attend and always worth showing up for. Take him for both semesters of physics 180.

Steve is one of the best teachers I've had at state! Super helpful in class and in emails. Makes physics clear and easy to learn. Definitely take him!

Steve is an awesome professor. His class is a must-take and you will not regret taking it. He explains the material so well that you will actually feel like you're learning! He likes to crack jokes in class and tries to keep everyone awake. His tests are not easy though; you must study study study! and getting an A is possible. GOOD LUCK!!

Best teacher I have had at SDSU in 2 years. Very organized lecture structure, and it?s clear what concepts you will be tested on. Does not mean tests are easy; you need to study hard. Makes a subject everyone usually dreads into lectures worth attending.

Leduc is legit! The man is extremely intelligent and funny. He teaches via practice problem sheets that you go through in class. This is where the tests come from. Know how to do the problems on the sheets, know what is on the test. Homework once a week, 4 tests, drop one and a cumulative final. If you have to take physics, Leduc is the man.

AWESOME!! Super clear and tests are EXACTLY as the homework. I would take him over anyone else!

I took a course called Method of Analysis with him, and he was AWESOME. Attendance was not mandatory, but I really recommend going to classes because he actually does a lot of examples in class and they are directly related to the exams! Go to class, take notes and review, and you should be fine! The best math professor I've ever had at SDSU!

Honestly one of the BEST professors at SDSU. Absolutely detailed, well-organized lectures, very fair exams. I took Plotkin last semester, dropped out with a 0 on the 1st midterm. 1st midterm with Steve: 100%. He makes classes extremely entertaining, even for a 1:15 long night class. YOU SIMPLY MUST TAKE HIS CLASS, YOU WILL LEARN SO MUCH.

Taking his class felt like a reward for suffering through years of lame math professors.

I've taken many math classes in community college and i must admit that he is on of the best math professors I've ever had. He's very funny and teaches you everything in the easiest way possible. The tests are very fair if your read the notes and he is VERY fair when it comes to grading. Take him

Even though it is difficult information, Leduc was able to break down the material so it was simple enough to understand. No book necessary due to the fact that he posts his notes up on blackboard. Attendance isn't necessary but he's funny so attending the class was enjoyable. Highly recommend him if this is something you need to take!

Leduc is a great professor with a sense of humor . He gives tons of examples during class that are similar to test questions. His tests are very fair and he gives mad partial credit. His teaching style is similar to Manchester, very clear and straightforward. You don't need a textbook, he posts his notes online. Take this class with Leduc!

He was great. No textbook and attendance was not mandatory. He would honestly be a great professor for any class. He really cares about his students and is a great lecturer. He is odd but very funny and keeps a light atmosphere during class. I would definitely recommend him for any class he teaches.

AMAZING and hilarious professor! I was actually eager to go to class, unlike any of my previous math classes at state. I wish he could teach all of my classes..

Anything he writes on the board is magic!

Great lecturer who really cares about students. His lectures are extremely helpful for the exams and he jokes around a lot to keep it interesting. He uses clear examples during lecture (similar to test questions) and reinforces ideas that are likely to show up on exams. Highly recommended.

Tests are super straight forward and often easier than the examples he gives on his lecture sheets. There is no textbook and he is able to simplify concepts immensely. I took 180A and learned absolutely nothing, but having Leduc for the second portion I am earning an A. So I guess you can say you will learn a lot. Great professor!

Take this professor for PHYS 182, best science professor I've had period! Clear, crisp and easy. Won't regret it, its not mandatory to go to his class, however you won't get an A if you don't go to at least 80% of his classes. He's also got a great sense of humor.

extremely clear in lectures, and always willing to help you at office hours. If you attend his class and practice the problems he does before the test over and over again you will receive an A. Hands down the best professor I've had at state!!

Best professor (bw 4 colleges) EVER! No hw, no textbook, clear lectures; sets time aside for office hours; very helpful; makes cute, corny jokes; knows his subject and how to teach it; provides additional notes. If you take good notes and review, you'll actually learn and get an A. He should be teacher of the year. I loved coming to this class!

An amazing professor. His lectures are crystal clear and captivating. If he taught a higher level class, I would take it for fun. If you attend class and practice old test and lecture problems, tests are not too difficult. No calculators, but again, if you study, it's no problem. Take a class with Steve Leduc!

Leduc is a very good teacher. Go to class and pay attention, and you should at least get a B in the class especially with his pre-set curve of a 85% to get an A. Go over all the sheets a couple times and you are set for the tests. He is always willing to help his students and is pretty funny at times.

Steve is a wonderful professor who loves to teach physics. He is hilarious and kind to all students no matter how stupid the question. He makes himself very available to his students through office hours and encourages questions in class. Four tests and a final (worst test score gets dropped). Overall pretty easy for a Physics class.

Leduc is an excellent professor who cares about his students. Physics is not fun by any means but Leduc makes it as enjoyable as possible by making jokes regularly throughout lecture. His grading criteria is clearly stated on the syllabus and with his grading scale is pretty easy to get an A. Come to lecture, practice the problems & you'll be fine

The best teacher I have had at SDSU so far. No textbook but lectures and online material are phenomenal. He teaches and explains things you should have learned years ago but got breezed over. Go to class since he is funny and very interesting to learn from. Enough said!

This professor is great. The lectures are clear and all test material is completely based on those lectures. No homework either!

Physics does not come easy to me, but with Leduc I was able to grasp most concepts. He covers the material and then shows you how to do it by giving multiple exams. No homework!! Need to take good notes in lecture because they are helpful when studying for the tests. Make sure to at least review the lecture material for the tests and you will pass.

One of the best professors ever.

Steve is a wonderful physics professor, so enthusiastic and very patient. He loves the subject and wants you to love it too. No hw or textbook, all material is based on his handouts and lecture notes, which basically are what the tests are based on. He has the ability to break down physics concepts in a very understandable and logical way.

Best professor I have ever had. No book. No homework. Just use his lecture example sheets to study for the tests and you'll pass. He actually really teaches so attendance is really helpful

He's a homie. Study for a bit and you'll be fine.

Steve literally saved my college career. I almost gave up on finishing b/c the physics profs at this school were terrible for 3 years. Finally, a teacher that actually TEACHES you physics. No HW or text, just amazing lectures and tests. Math has always been my weakest subject and he taught me step by step how to understand physics and get an A!!

Clear on expectations for the semester. 4 tests and a final. One test score is dropped and there is a pretty good curve overall for the class. Take him- he explains everything. No homework and no book. Study his lecture sheets and you'll do fine.

Prof. Leduc is the only reason I was able to pass physics. I am terrible at math and he made it possible for me to get an A. I am so thankful to have been able to have him for a professor. I recommend him to anyone and everyone who must take this class. He's truly incredible and a life saver. Just know you still must work really really hard.

Not only is he hilarious, but it's amazing to think that Physics can be made so understandable and easy to learn! As long as you practice the problems on lecture Sheets, you will get an A. 4 tests, drops you lowest, then he has a few different combinations of how tests/final will be weighted to give you the highest possible option. TAKE HIM!!!

Super chill and definitely a must if you have to take a physics class. You have to attend class because he just goes over problems but it is worth it. Tests are fair and not too hard!

Leduc is an amazing professor! Physics can be difficult, but he makes it fun! Exams are fairly easy. Don't skip over concepts because True/false questions on exam can be tricky. Attend ALL lectures, it will benefit you once it's time to take the exams. Overall a great class! Looking forward to taking Phys 180B with him again!

Best math Teacher at SDSU. He's funny so he keeps class interesting. DONT NEED TO BUY BOOKS, 4 tests and a final, averages the best three tests. As long as you do the review sheets before tests, and ask questions if you are confused you will do great. Such a nice guy and great professor.

possibly the best teacher at sdsu. Incredibly helpful and clear lectures. will walk class though all of his notes. no hw. 4 test (has formulas) + cumulative final (no formulas and cumulative suck but you can use a cheat sheet) but one test is drooped and final is ether 25% or 40% depending on which is better for YOUR grade (not class over all)

Best physics teacher ever.

Best professor ever! Clear, organized, thorough, and very, very approachable. By far the best lecturer ever. You do not need a textbook with his worksheets!!!

I was absolutely terrified to take physics, but when I walked into Physics with Steve, my anxiety went away. He is hilarious and awesome. Physics has never been so easily understandable. If you're worried about taking physics DON'T BE, take it with Steve and it will be amazing. I'd switch my major for him.

Steve is my favorite professor i've had, without a doubt. He is adorable and hilarious. You can tell he really has a passion for physics and that he understands it really well. His lectures are incredibly clear and as long as you pay attention to them and practice the lecture problems, you'll pass easily. He has actually made me enjoy physics.

Steve is really funny during his lectures and he really helps! He dumbs down the subject a lot. There is no homework so it is all based on test scores. He is very excited about physics and that it is always nice to see a professor really enjoy their job. If you can get Steve for physics 180A and B.

Literally hands down the best teacher I've had while being at SDSU. He is so straightforward and helpful in his lectures and he makes everything make perfect sense. And he's super down to Earth and its really easy to ask him questions. It's hard if you get behind in the lectures though, so be careful of that. 10/10 would take again.

manages to make a 400 person physics lecture very enjoyable. he is hilarious and im glad i got to take him for a whole year. tests are hard because you have to memorize lots of equations and dont have a calculator and its multiple choice so no partial credit, but he curves the class soo much youll still pass and have a good time.

The class this semester had all of his lectures online. He's a super sweet guy who makes physics seem really easy! Test are pretty similar to the problems you work on in class.

Steve is the most amazing teacher in the entire community of SDSU he is clear, helpful, and doesn't assign any outside homework. Going to lecture and studying before the exam was the most helpful.. I was terrified of physics before I walked into Steve's class, now I love physics! I even got two one hundred percents on exams. Amazing.

Awesome teacher. He really understands the material and he knows what the students might be confused about and he will address it. No homework or quizzes; the grade is 4 tests and a final. Tests are EXACTLY what he goes over. Easy. He drops your lowest test score. Amazing amazing amazing!!!!

No need for a book. Study the lecture sheets and do them over and over before tests! great Professor, SUPER HILARIOUS he's one of my favorite. He makes physics simple and interesting. Class consists of 4 tests and a final. Really awesome guy!

I took him for both 180A and 180B. I hated physics all my life until I took it with him. He makes it very easy and he explains the material in a relatable way. There are 4 tests, -drops your lowest grade-, and a final. His exams are exactly like the worksheets, the true and false questions can be tricky but if you attend lectures you'll be fine.

So I enrolled in 180A and 180B with the hopes of knocking out BOTH A & B (& their labs) in one semester since I hate physics. Both exams on the same day, tough! Also, he Makes you work for it. And finally... Those exams are tricky tricky tricky. You have to read Qs carefully! 1 SimpleQ is worth a million points so if u miss one, ur at a "B"

What can I say about Steve? He is absolutely amazing. I entered the class unsure of how I would like Physics. I am leaving passionate about the subject because he has made the material so interesting. He explains things incredibly clearly and every class has laughs throughout. Honestly one of the best teachers I have ever had.

Steve is great he's very helpful and explains everything very thoroughly. The downside with his class is that if you are a bad test taker it's very difficult to pass considering the only grades taken are tests.

Steve really knows his stuff and is entertaining to listen to. The only thing you're graded on are the tests, which are tricky. Only 16 questions so each question is worth a lot of points. Also, about half of them are true/false, so unless you really understand the concept you won't do well. Very hard class but he's a great professor

I took Steve for Physics 180A/180B. Steve is great at simplifying the material and explaining it in a clear way that actually makes sense and applies to real life. He's very passionate about learning and genuinely wants all his students to understand the material and succeed in his class. Probably the only prof on this planet to make physics fun!

This class was great, and I usually hate math-based classes. You have to go to every single lecture, and you have to redo the worksheets at least twice to do well on the tests (it's only like 3-4 worksheets for each test). He tests on exactly what is on the worksheets

Excellent teacher! He actually makes you understand the material. Uses worksheets that are exactly like the tests. Go to every lecture and redo the worksheets several times and you'll get an A! He's also hilarious. It makes you wanna go to class. No homework, easy test, awesome teacher, and interesting subject! Take this class, you won't regret it.

im not smart. im not good at math. i dont go to class. i dont study.... I got an a and 100% on the final for both semesters. anyone who doesnt do well is clearly not cut out for formal education. 5 stars all the way this guy is hilarious too

Leduc is the man! He is very funny, and a very good teacher. He loves to help students who seek it. He loves when people ask him questions and attend office hours. But show up to lectures, review the worksheets and you'll do fine on the exams. 4 mid terms (drops one) and a final.

Best prof ever. He's hilarious and makes physics really easy even if you don't this subject. He makes you want to class because of how funny he is! 4 exams, drops lowest, and 1 final. No quizzes, no homework.

Best professor I have ever had! Physics was something I struggled with in high school, so physics in college terrified me! but he honestly makes every single thing so easily understandable! Ive never felt more confident in a class! Huge curve. 55% in the class is curved to a solid C! Its an easy A/B! No homework and hes never boring!

Had him for AE 280 in Summer 2015. Despite the fast pace, he was still able to teach such a tough class. I don't think I could have learned the material any better than I had. Great professor, I wouldn't take this class with anyone else. :)

What can I say? He's an absolutely AMAZING professor! The man greatly reduces the concepts to a simple level. Be sure to practice if you want to ace his exams, as they are similar to his worksheets! He's super helpful before class or at office hours if you are ever confused about anything. Forever grateful to have him. Highly recommended!!! :)

Honestly by far the best professor you can take at State. He is so engaging, this is a class you can not miss. Theres no homework or outside work, so GO TO LECTURE! He teaches the material so well. Yes his exams are tricky and yes the curve is big, but study! make sure you know how to do the problems on the worksheet. Go to office hours, so helpful

If you get the chance, TAKE HIM! I had him for 2 semesters for both Phys 180 A and B. I hated physics, but he turned it into a subject I ended up enjoying in college. There are 4 exams and they are fairly easy. Just go to class!! No home work or quizzes, just exams! He's amazing and the taught a fun class. If I could, I would take him again!

Leduc is definitely one of the best math teachers at state. He always made everything relatively easy to understand and kept his notes extremely clear and organized. He's also funny and always keeps the class mood light. Take him if you have the chance.

Best professor I've had at state! Makes everything super easy to understand. Class is entertaining. If you don't do well in his class then you need to change your major because he is an amazing professo.

Leduc is a great teacher, he makes everything seem very simple and he is a funny guy. There is no homework but he gives worksheets, there are about 4-6 worksheets you need to know for each test. You don't really need to go to class, but the class is only graded on 4 midterms and a final. Take good notes and do the worksheets accordingly.

Steve is the man. His quirky personality makes his lectures so entertaining and engaging. He has a unique teaching style by using his problem sheets to explain the course topics. He doesn't record lectures, so show up for class. Your grade is based on 5 exams (including the final) and the lowest one is dropped. Go to his office hours if you can.

100x better than Manchester. I mean no offense to Manchester though; he's great, too. Leduc is simply an exceptional professor. He has a gift of simplification. Super helpful at office hours and before or after class if you still have questions. He gives lots of partial credit if work is shown clearly. If you get the chance to have him, take it! :)

I loved steve! He was hilarious and made math 252 interesting. He was the first math teacher I'd ever had who actually made it so I stayed awake during class. His tests can be really difficult if you don't practice the sheets on your own at home constantly so keep up because when it comes near test time it's really hard to go through all the sheets

Steve is the greatest. I had the pleasure of taking both Physics 180A and B with him over a year, and I am honestly going to miss his class. He teaches so clearly and provides plenty of examples. If you're unsure, ASK, he will help you and continue helping until he knows you understand. 4 exams and a final, no homework or quizzes.

Leduc is an excellent instructor. I took Geveci last Fall, and got a C-. With Leduc, I got an A. Yes, I got an A. No, it's NOT because I learned anything AT ALL from taking it before. His teaching style is amazing and he's very helpful if you ask questions if you get confused. Thank you, Steve. You should be the only one for Math 252!

Steve was probably the BEST professor I've ever had. He was entertaining and made going to class everyday really enjoyable. You should go to class always because he explains things in a way his worksheets don't.

TAKE THIS PROFESSOR for Physics 180A/B- Leduc is the best professor/educator I've ever had the pleasure of learning from. The way he explains the material is very unique compared to any other physics teachers I've had. He makes abstract ideas relatable, and difficult math simple. He truly wants his students to learn and do well.

This is one of the best professors I have had at SDSU. Even though your grade is completely based on the exams, his worksheets explain almost exactly what is going to be on them. This class requires a bit of studying, but the exam material is pretty straightforward.

I literally created my rate my professor account to give Steve a review so listen up. Steve is one of the best professors i have ever had. He is incredibly sharp and overqualified. He is funny, caring and helpful. He works with his students cause he actually likes his job which is a huge chance of pace nowadays. 10/10 recommend

Steve is amazing in every way possible. He is one of the best professors I have taken at SDSU. Be attentive, actually study (something I didn't do), and you'll pass with flying colors. He doesn't give homework and there are four exams. If you see him for Calc 3, sign up for his class before anything else.

Steve is hilarious and his lectures are very clear and easy to follow. He makes every effort to help his kids master the material and everyone can tell he is very caring and dedicated.

Steve is obviously very passionate about physics and teaching which made him such a great professor to have. His lectures were extremely informative and he simplified the content so that it was easier to absorb. The class was pretty fast-paced and grades are based solely on 4 exams and final. HUGE curve though, he really wants everyone to pass.

Steve is very caring and he tries to simplify the material as much as possible but it is a very hard class. It's not mandatory but don't miss class! Print out the lecture sheets and re-do them before the tests. Class is based on four tests and a final and the lowest test is dropped. Study up to a week before the tests! Overall, very well organized.

Steve is one of the best professors I've had. Physics is not an easy class, but he simplifies it so that the material is much easier to understand. He makes this class enjoyable and he's so funny! Class grade is based off of 4 tests (lowest test grade dropped) and a final.

This was Leduc's first semester of teaching PHYS 195, but boy is he good at it. He explains the concepts very thoroughly to ensure that his students have a good understanding. But the exams are extremely hard if you don't study ahead of time and keep up with his lectures. He posts lectures online, so there is no need to go to class, but go anyway!

One of my favorite classes to go to! He's entertaining and so the hour goes by pretty fast. He doesn't answer his emails which is very inconvenient and there is no homework so your grade is based off all the tests.

Steve has such funny lectures and helps to keep things interesting and engaging. He helps break down the material so that the topics are easier to understand. Such a good professor.

Your entire grade is based on 4 exams (exam w/ lowest score gets dropped) and a final. Redo (and re-redo) all the lecture sheets because those are basically the exam. If you can do all problems w/o looking at notes, you're all set on the 8-pt worth q's on exams. T/F q's are tricky so understand all the concepts, formulas, etc.

Really funny and entertaining teacher for a subject like physics. He does his best to make lecture simple, however the only things you even get graded on in this class are tests! So do well on all of them!! Fairly easy class in my opinion, but his notes aren't enough to get an A.

By far one of the best professors I have ever had. He is excellent at explaining and simplifying the material, if you review the problems and work hard you should have no problem with this class. Steve also made lectures very enjoyable and made you want to go to class.

I had Steve for Physics 180A and Physics 180B. He is a wonderful guy who clerly carees about his students and is very passionate about physics. He actually makes coming to class, dare I say it, fun. He does not use a textbook and the lectures are not recorded so you have to go to truly understand the material. He curves the course wonderfully.

I was really scared to take this class, but Steve was a wonderful professor. I actually looked forward to attending lectures.

Steve is my favorite professor here at Sdsu. I had him for Physics 108A and B and he makes difficult material so much easier to understand. Gonna miss him :(

180B was lots harder for me than A but Steve made the information, still gotta work for it though. Studying old exams, practicing the lecture sheets, and going to office hours really helped me. Steve is awesome and the class is based on a great curve which is nice. Cheat sheet was allowed for the final. 4 midterms, one dropped, and final. no book

Steve is great. The final is essentially identical to all the previous test questions (super easy but cumulative). The tests questions are based on the topic sheets he posts. The only thing that tripped me up was the T/F sections. Go to class bc the lectures aren't recorded. If you are a good student you should have no problem getting an A.

steve was born to be a professor. physics is HARD, but he really knows how to make the material understandable and truly wants all his students to do well. graded on 4 tests (one is dropped) and a final ONLY, but theres an big curve. class was never boring, he always kept it entertaining. hilarious guy. 10/10 would take again.

Steve is an absolute legend. It's hard to think of a professor who is more passionate about their subject than he is. This man sporadiaclly pulls out a handkerchief to wipe fake tears of joy when he solves a problem. He cares immensely, explains concisely, and will spend all the time in the world to answer your physics questions! He's the best!

I had an fantastic experience overall taking Steve's class for both PHYS 180A and 180B! He does a great job in explaining concepts in his lecture in an understandable fashion. Your grade in his class is entirely dependent on exams, but it is very easy to get an A if you go over all the practice problems (with explanations) he posts on BB before!

Have to go to class to get notes and answers to practice questions. Very funny and genuine guy. The tests are straight forward, but you do need to practice the problems on your own time because there is no homework. Big curve on the grading scale and drops lowest test score.

Explains things in-depth. He tries his best to make sure everyone understands the material, and if you show up and pay attention the exams shouldnt be too bad. Theres no homework, so showing up is important, but he almost always makes it worth your time. Overall a great personality and excellent professor. Beware of the true/false questions.

You MUST go to class. Similar to 180A, theres no book. He's the BEST teacher I've ever had, but what saved me was practicing each week for his class because there was no homework. DO NOT cram for his tests. If you ask him questions, he'll always help. Show up, practice, and get a decent grade. I'm pretty sure the lowest test was dropped.

Lectures were awesome. He spent all class going over the homework and explaining concepts. He made the concepts super easy to understand and explained concepts over examples. Grade was the average of 4 tests and a final. No calculator, no cheatsheet. Know the homework and you are set for an easy semester. Also, reach out to him if you need help.

I had Steve for 180A & 180B. You will not find a professor who is as passionate about his subject or wants his students to succeed as much as Steve. He somehow manages to keep lectures about physics entertaining. Study hard for the tests and ask him for help if you need it, he is extremely approachable.

LOVE him, he is one of the best professors at SDSU. He made me like phys, and you can tell that he is passionate about it, a genius. No hw, no book, but go to lecture because he doesn't record his lectures, do and redo the lecture sheets and you will pass the exams, which is what your whole grade is based on, but he was funny and awesome, take him.

Steve explains all the concepts clear and easy to understand. No homework. But you need to study hard before the tests. 4 midterms and will drop the lowest one.

Steve is a great physics professor, and the class is on a heavy curve from the start. Having never taken a physics class in my life up until him, I was scared that I wouldn't get it. But you can really see how passionate he is and how eager he is to make the course as stress-free as possible. 11/10

Good professor and cares about his students and what he is lecturing on. Calc 2 is hard no matter who you have. Leduc really tries to prepare you for exams and is through with his explanations. There are 3-4 pop quizzes but its usually a week before the midterm and all professors give them.

Steves teaching style is somewhat similar to Manchesters, and makes sure that you know the topic well. If youre confused, dont hesitate to ask him! His lectures are really fun as well

This was my favorite class this semester. His lectures were very fun and he teaches very effectively. The small discussion section also helped a lot too. There are homework assignments due each week and there are three midterms with a final. The midterms are ridiculously hard but they did give us test corrections. I recommend taking this class!

Steve is a great Professor! We only had 4 exams and the lowest one gets dropped. For some reason this semester he posted the lectures online so you didn't have to go which he usually doesn't do. Get old exams from friends and study those, they are very similar. The class is curved a lot so you should be fine!

Definitely one of the best math teacher I've ever had. He cares so much about whether or not students understands and will stop in the middle of the lecture to make sure everyone understands. The class is hard, but the way he teaches makes calculus easy to understand and his excitement over everything in math makes his lectures interesting.

Even tho I failed Math 151, Steve was an amazing professor, he seems intimidating but hes literally the sweetest!

Steve is my fav prof EVER! So funny and sweet. 4 exams, you drop lowest, plus the final. attendance isn't mandatory and lectures are recorded. No homework so only exams are your grade. Study the lecture sheets hard before exams and you'll be fine. The true/false are tricky, he tries to trick you. Great guy, take him if you can

hate physics, but steve made it a lot easier and understandable. be careful with multiple choice!

No joke, Steve was born to teach. Great, uplifting personality, has a very methodical and clear teaching approach. Overall, not a hard class, it's mainly just Newtonian mechanics, slightly easier than electricity and magnetism. Just read the topic sheets he posts and redo problems from the examples to prepare for the exams. He also teaches Calc :)

The class has a big curve, 85 is an A. He does take awhile to grade exams, but get old exams from someone and use them to study, as the questions are very similar. You also get a full page of notes on the final. He doesn't normally post lecture recordings, but he did this semester for some reason.

You definitely dont have to show up to class so why even bother. Still passed the class without going to any of the lectures because he posts them online. Just make sure to be accountable for your work and create group chats with friends who are in the class. Honestly not that hard if i tried I probably would have gotten an A. Also no hw!

The greatest STEM professor I've ever had. Made calc 2, which is one of the hardest math classes, very doable. It was just rough on the exams as Carraterro who is the course coordinator for calc 2 wrote the exams and not him. I got 39% on the first test and managed to get a B, so if you put in the time (lot of it) its doable. Fat curve at the end!

Mr. Leduc was a joy to have as a lecturer. He is always very lively, and made learning calculus much more fun and interesting than it would have been with probably any other professor who teaches calculus at SDSU. I would highly recommend.

Physics can be hard but his lectures make the material clear to understand. Lectures are not mandatory but go anyways because he will have you laughing the entire time. No homework, only 4 tests plus the final (lowest test dropped) and there is a big curve for the class. Study his lecture sheets and you will be fine. Love Steve!!

Steve genuinely cares for physics as well as passing it on to his students. 4 tests (you get to drop 1) + final. He's not great at responding to emails, but if you follow along in lectures, there's no need to. Lectures are recorded. All mult. choice exams, no tricks. Definitely need to study but if you put in the work, but he's very fair.

Even though this was one of the hardest classes I've taken, Steve is my favorite professor by far. He genuinely cares about his students and makes lectures as entertaining as possible. The difficulty of the class isn't determined by the professor, all students who take M 151 take the same exams regardless fo the professor. Take him if you can!

Steve is hilarious and one of the most engaging professors Ive had. He truly makes physics fun. His handwriting is also impeccable. Do the practice sheets over and over until you understand whats going on and can do them without outside help. Study and you will do fine.

if you study by rewatching lectures, doing the lecture sheets, and practice over and over you will do well. the True/False really messed me up sometimes, but know that he tries to trick you. he's hilarious and very passionate about physics. I didn't do so well in 180A, but learned how he tested and did better in this class. find old exams to study

THE BEST. don't even consider taking any class that isn't with Steve. Had him for both physics (2 semesters) and calc 3 and he was VERY wiling to help students out with the class. He's very good at explaining and it makes the class just that much easier. Highly recommend

He makes the class easy to follow and fun to learn physics. Definitely take Steve if you can. Easily one of the best professors I've ever had.

Even though this class was harder than 180A, Steve was still an awesome professor. He made it fun to be in lecture! Just make sure that you do lecture or old test problems, and you will be good for the exams!

Steve is amazing. I absolutely hated physics in high school but Steve made learning physics enjoyable. You know he really wants his students to succeed.

Professor Leduc is really someone who will make you absorb the subject without a problem. This guy combines humor with physics in a way never before seen. Study the notes he gives you and you'll do fine. Don't miss lectures like I did, go to class, study and it will be an easy "A". Also, don't be afraid to ask questions, he's a cool person.

He taught me Math252 when we switched to online due to COVID in March and also Math151 the semester before. I miss how organized he was and somehow managed to remain an excellent teacher and lecturer in the abrupt switch to online. Caring, funny, fair exams, intelligent, low-key a genius. Miss you Steve, wish you taught me my entire degree :(

Leduc is very knowledgeable about physics, and really breaks down the concepts. Lectures are recorded but posted the next day. 4 tests & 1 final, no hw, open notes. Grading scale is very generous so dw. Tests are short tho so its easy to lose points from just one mistake. Practice sheets are available so just review them before each test.

Professor Leduc is a kind-hearted, hilarious person who genuinely wants you to enjoy his lectures and pass the class. You can tell he's done this for years because his lectures are extremely well-done and designed for people who haven't taken physics before. He gives homework sheets with very detailed solutions which I attribute to getting an A.

I never went to class. I would watch every single zoom lecture in 2x speed the week before the test. and I would get 100s on the tests. hes an amazing professor because every problem that he goes through will be on the test. nothing is thrown at you. 10/10 im taking him again next semester for 180b. the lab is also so easy

Super nice. Very giggly and pleasant. Great at giving explanations. Definitely sees the fun in math. Homework is challenging but fair. Tests (albeit, they were take-homes) are much easier than the homework.

Really good at explaining concepts and answering questions sent in the chat. Sometimes things were a bit fast for me but he posts the lectures afterwards to review. He also provided a lot of practice and explanations to help prepare for tests.

Physics is NOT my thing but I had to take it, and thankfully Leduc was a real gem. He only tells you what you need to know, and doesn't throw unnecessary info out there. I ended up changing to CR/NC which was good for me but if physics is easy for you, this will be a breeze. I appreciated his efficiency in teaching and bubbly personality a lot.

Leduc is really good at breaking down the concepts. He makes the material look so easy. The class will get a lot of practice by going through the lecture sheets, which he posts with solutions. The tests were short so its easy to lose points, but his grading scales are generous. Still try to pay attention and know what to do to get a solid A

Leduc is one of the best teachers I've ever had, period. He explains concepts so clearly and is great at anticipating+answering questions. The grade is comprised of tests + midterm + final alone, so beware. The class gets a massive curve though. I sucked at physics in hs and got a B easily. Cannot recommend Leduc enough.

Professor Leduc is an amazing professor! You will enjoy this class. The class is made up of 5 midterms with no homework assignments. His lectures are very clear and concise, he makes challenging physics concepts easier to understand. The midterms are difficult so make sure to study the practice sheets. He curves heavily, you need a 55% to pass!

Steve literally has been the best professor I have had. I hate Physics so much but his class was my favorite to attend this semester just because he is so funny. The tests suck because that's the only grade for the class, but if you go to class and take notes and laugh then you'll pass no problem. ily Steve

You're only graded from the 4 exams & 1 final for this class so if you do bad on them, you're NOT going to pass. The questions on each exam are pretty much the lecture sheet questions he does during lecture so study by using those. He's concise and easy to understand, and he's not monotone at all so at least during lectures he keeps you amused!

Such a nice professor and his material is very clear/organized. The topics are more challenging than 180A but he makes the material easy to understand and throughly explains each equation before going through practice problems.

Great teacher! The tests are super hard out of no where. I would still recommend his class though because there is a large curve as well.

Literally one of my favorite professors of all time! I've had him twice and both have been such a delight. If you do all of the lecture examples and extra practice, the exams are pretty easy. He curves a lot which is very nice and you get to drop your worst exam. I highly highly recommend him!

A fine professor, almost all work is online + in-person lectures. Very helpful if you need it, really goes above and beyond in that regard. I gave a higher difficulty rating due to the final being pretty loaded with content from all over the semester.

this Dudes awesome

This professor is genuinely exactly what someone could possibly want from such a difficult course. As someone who has never taken a physics class, I learned and was able to take away a lot of the content. Steve makes sure you have the resources available to succeed. The only grades in the class are exams, getting an A is totally doable .

The best professor for physics. Absolutely hilarious and brings such a good mood into the classroom. Your grade is based solely on tests, however they are online and open note. Makes a difficult subject somewhat easier to understand. Definitely take him!!

Good energy in his lectures and he teaches well. If you're not good at math it's easy to get lost during his lectures but they're recorded. I liked watching the lectures online so I can pause when confused and skip whats unnecessary. Physics is only tests with no homework so all there is to the class is learning the concepts and solving equations

Really kind and funny guy. Lectures are entertaining! Material isn't too bad and tests were light in my opinion. The way he structures this course, it's difficult to do bad! No homework at all, only tests.

Leduc's lectures are easy to understand. He gives out worksheet with question and basically just works through them in class and the tests are similar problems with different numbers. As long as you do the worksheet on your own you'll be fine. Attendance is not taken the only grades are the tests so it's up to you how much effort you put in.

This class is very simple if you follow the lecture reviews. The class only consists of tests but they are the same as the practice reviews and Steve is a very funny man and made. the classes fun.

Leduc was a great professor and his lectures were super helpful. He curves his grades and tests are open-note so just do the extra lecture sheets and understand the material. He is super approachable at office hours so make use of that and you'll be fine!

he is awesome, lectures are recorded and posted later so you can miss class- but just make sure to watch them because tests are 100% based from everything he says in lecture and also 100% of your grade. not boring you can tell he's passionate. major curve and drops lowest test score!

The class is only graded on 4 test plus the final, the lowest test is dropped and the class is heavily curved for it's difficulty 85+ for A-/A anything less than 40% is an F. The class is very difficult even when studied. He does have good lectures though.

Entire class grade made up of tests. Lectures are amazing Steve is great at teaching. The class is structured really well and allows you to do as much homework as you need. You always know what to expect on the 4 tests, one of which he drops. multiple weighting options to allow for final to make a big difference. Highly highly recommend Leduc.

Genuinely one of, if not THE best professor I've had at SDSU! Extremely clear, concise and logically structured lectures. No homework. Great social skills.

The best professor ever. Had him for 342A and 342B and he makes you really understand the math and connects it to concepts we learn in other courses. Show up to class and do practice problems that he provides (he also provides solutions) and you will do great, he's also great at answering any questions

If you think having a great teacher isnt that big of a deal, you're wrong. Steve's method of teaching is so efficient it swamps every other professor I have ever had. Super clear and concise, you know what is going to be on the test. Just do the provided examples and you're golden. 10/10 in every way, not taking Steve is a disservice to yourself.

This class is very difficult, but if you put in the effort you will get an A. An A goes all the way to 85%. Grade consists of 4 tests and 1 final, lowest test score gets dropped. STUDY A WEEK IN ADVANCE! You NEED to study and understand the content to pass this class. Steve is a GREAT teacher and very entertaining- just really hard content.

Professor Leduc is engaging and passionate. Tests are worth 100%, but he curves and drops the lowest score. Using unstuckstudy AI alongside the recorded lectures helped me grasp the concepts and do well in this class.

Steve is funny and very straightforward. No textbook. No homework. No assign'ts. The grade is only based on exams though, there is a conceptual part (5pt q's) and math part (10 pt q's). I usually got 40%. So even if you understand the lecture you'll need to study on your own to master it and pass. I heard some students needed to retake the class.

Funny and explains concepts clearly—even my physics-challenged self could follow. Class focuses on practice problems, which really helps. Tests are multiple choice and make up 100% of the grade, but there's a generous curve, one test is dropped, and the final can count for 25% or 40%—whichever boosts your grade more.

Steve is probably the best professor I have ever had. He makes physics (which is hard) easy. Genuinely have never enjoyed physics more. He is also so funny (in my opinion) and is clearly very passionate about his job and ACTUALLY ENJOYS TEACHING!!!

I had Leduc for 342 A, B and PHYS 350, and this guy is special. His classes have been easily the most enjoyable I've experienced in college, and I've learned a whole lot as well. The entirety of your grade is made up of tests, but they don't have any curve balls, so if you study plenty, you'll do well. 10/10

LeDuc is very eccentric but he grows on you over the course of the semester. He breaks down things super well and makes complicated subjects very simple. Your grade is determined entirely by 4 tests (the lowest score is dropped) and the final, so make sure you are ready before the tests. The content itself isn't hard, but you should still study

Leduc is a super chill and funny professor who actually makes class enjoyable. In my opinion, the exams were easy because you pretty much know exactly what you are gonna be tested on. He pretty much only teaches by doing practice problems, and the exam problems are very similar to the ones in class. Lectures are recorded, which is always nice.

Steve is the goat. He's passionate, charismatic, and intelligent. He presents things in a very digestible way and doesn't overuse unnecessary jargon. His classes are hard if you don't study. His classes are easy if you do. Your whole grade is based off 5 exams, but there's ample extra credit and a hefty curve to make sure you don't fail
