Lost from day one..he doesn't explain....it's a learn on your own class...Only five people were left at the end of the semester...

unclear, learn on your own class, unhelpful, impatient, arrogant

Worst teacher ever. Very unclear and unhelpful. Your not even aloud to drink water in his class.

He seems like a nice enough person at times but he just isn't very good at teaching. He almost expects us to fail and doesn't do anything to stop it.

he is sucks

How can anyone say he is a good teacher? This guy sucks his test are impossible and doesent even care how you do on them he is a big dork.

This guy is SUPER HARD. Tests were equally as hard. You dont really know what to study and he isnt very helpful when you ask questions. I had to drop this class cause he wasnt helping me with my problems with the class.

He is a very bad teacher. He is unclear and does not explain information in an easy to understand way. He was very unhelpful when approached for extra help/assistance. This class was a VERY bad experience for me.

VERY VERY HARD class. Myself and 4 others dropped it in a week, the admissions office even said he was tough and everyone seems to drop him. He expects you to know everything after the first day, and he wont help you with any questions you have.

he is the most worst teacher i have ever seen

WARNING!! Very Very BAD.. Do not take Physics with this guy, you will regret it. He will do no work for the class, you will have to learn Physics on your own. He will not even answer any questions on the material or homework.

Get out as fast as possible and try to save yourself some money. He is completely useless with help on hw when you ask him. He gives like clues as to how to do it instead of just telling you what to do in the situation. When people say "study and you'll be fine," no you really wont be fine. Just get out or find someone else you wont regret it!

hard to understand, writes very lightly on the board, has lots of tangents. doesnt makes sense. tests are rediculously hard and confusing, no curve. doesnt grade equally, doesnt count marked points.

AVOID!!!! Is extremely anal!!! Doesnt grade fairly, doesnt count checked points, dont get to keep tests, b/c he doesnt want to make new ones, doesnt explain much, and thinks he is better than u if u dont answer his trick questions.

STOP!! Get out of his class!!!! Absolutely a horrible teacher, start w/ 30 students 6-10 left at the end. This guy doesn't care about students passing. Trick tests questions that he test you on that you havent seen before. No review sheet,Very,very few examples, people cheating after i told him in person what was going on..DID NOTHING...lousy prof.

He is a CREEP. He does not teach how to do the problems. The tests are insanly hard, way beyond the homework problems. Physics teachers at Macomb are all horrible like this. Take this class at a University if you can. Class started out full, in the end there were 6 left, out of the 6 I think only 4 students passed. LOL over 90% fail or withdraw

Class is not hard, he just fails to teach the necessary steps to work out the equations, and the info needed is not in the book. You will have to teach yourself. I give him an F. Take someone else.

Must teach yourself, he will not give you hints only question what you bring him.

The absolute worst teacher i have ever experienced.Loves to see students fail/struggle, doesn't answer any questions. If you are signed up save yourself the money and just DROP. He doesnt teach anything and expects that you know everything already. Basically tells you the 1st day you are going to fail. Look into another school for this class.

DO NOT TAKE HIM!! I am an extremely hard working student and i read what people said about him and thought, oh its ok if i work hard enough i will do well... I WAS COMPLETELY WRONG.he is the most horrible professor i have ever had.. if you are signed up for this class drop it! I stuck through till the last drop date, and it was a waste of my time!!

do not take him!!! he is the most horrible prof. I dont understamd, he gets pleasure from seeing people fail his class. there are only 12 students in his class this semester and it started out with 32. take at occ and just tramsfer your credits to macomb, thats the best way to go. If you do decide to take him drop it asap so you can get your money!

He is the WORST TEACHER!Doesn't tell you which book to study from,there are TWO books and it's up to you to know which one to study from. Problems just appear on the board out of the blue!Half of the class dropped the first 2 weeks.He is NOT helpful AT ALL!This class is supposed to be basic phys and he makes it as if you know what he is teaching.

His homework is not graded and does not go over it. Does not explain how he does the problems on the board. Dont take his class.

I regret taking this class completely. He is never on topic. I have learned more about the city of Shanghai from this professor (no joke, he spent a good amount of time on the subject) than I could have ever learned about astronomy from him. Save yourself the time, money, and effort and take something else.

For the love of God, do not take this professor. There aren't enough words in the english language to describe how much I regret taking this professor. Learn from my hardship. If one person is spared because of this post, my sacrifice won't have been in vain. Good luck and godspeed.

This is the wourst Physics professor in Macomb Community College. I would never recommend taking him. He lacks teaching skills, and frequently goes off topic. I used to love Physics but ever since I took his class, I started to do poorly in this class.

Physics and Mathematics are my backyard, but because of him, I hated physics. I was 1 of 4 students left around exam #3 time, but I couldn't even pass with a C. I had to retake the course with a different instructor, and guess what? Got an A. Stay as far away as you could from him. He goes off topic A LOT and gives homework that he never grades.

Please save yourself the frustration by not taking this professor. I don't want to take away from the fact that he is a very smart guy, but the way he goes about his class is awful. Hardest class i have ever taken in my life. 2 exams in and I bombed them both which doesn't usually ever happen to me. He grades super hard/ homework is never graded.

Don't do it.

you wont pass. took AP physics in high school? still wont pass. don't take him.

Listen, he's very knowledgeable on physics; however, he's just not a great teacher. Because of this he doesn't know how to convey his knowledge properly to the students. My class started off with 35 students and ended with a whopping 14. Your final grade is based off of only 3 exams (only 7 questions each) & about 13 labs that are graded hard.

Aweful teacher. The ONLY prerequisite for this class is math 1000, with that being said I have no background in physics at all. And this guy jumps right into it the first day, assuming you know the baiscs and explains very little. No practice test/powerpoints available. Unless you're very knowledgeable in the subject, save your money.

Physics is hard to begin with, this professor makes it ten times harder. there are 4 exams each worth 25% and labs worth 25%. He drops the lowest exam. There is no graded homework to help boost your grade. He does notes in class but doesn't explain properly. I suggest you find a different professor and save your time and money.

The worst professor Ive ever had. Four tests worth pretty much your entire grade, so if you dont do good on those you wont pass. He teaches like you already know everything, and 5/7 questions on the tests arent even anything you went over. Nearly impossible course, especially with this professor.

Entire Class is Graded on 4 Exams with 7 questions on each and the overall average lab grade for 10 labs. Professor Failed to communicate Corse Material. 60% drop out rate 25% pass rate Trig not a class pre-rec, however more than half of all the work involves trig. 30 minutes on youtube was a more help than his lecture.

Minimal assigned work makes it very easy to slip up and fail. Only 3 graded tests and a handful of labs. No way to boost your grade other than doing really well on all the tests. Most test questions are ones not covered in class.

Teaches the class like everyone in there should already know everything and doesn't really give examples of what you'll be tested on. I didn't know anyone who had stayed in the class. Grades everything to a T and won't make any exceptions for error of any kind. I would not take him again and recommend finding another physics professor.

Genuinely the only professor I ever had who should be fired. The guy brags about people dropping his class, starting at 30 and ending with 5. Will basically mock you and tell you to drop the class if you don't understand the material. People stopped going for an engineering because of this guy. He's the most discouraging instructor at this school.

Terrible professor. He expects you know basically everything coming into the class. Gives very little help with homework problems. Very easily gets often topic during lectures. He's proud of the fact that over half of his students drop his courses each semester. Physics 1180 was only graded on 5 exams and 10 labs.

Worst class I have ever taken. His tests are 7 questions wrong and gives you no room to make mistakes. Everything has to be perfect. He goes off on random tangents about topics that don't matter to the material we were learning. Don't take his class unless you want have a really difficult semester.

Worst teacher I have ever had.

Only graded off 4 exams and 13 labs. Exams are 7 questions. Grades hard & is super picky on how you solve problems, sigfigs and even marked me down for a square root symbol not all the way across the number... I studied 25+ hrs/exam, be prepared to do work!! The saving grace for my grade was a 5% grade boost he gives for perfect attendance.

DO NOT take this professor. 5 exams and 10+ labs. Assigns you 40+ homework problems per chapter in the syllabus, and says any type of problem is fair game for the test. Doesnt review problems/material for test, but makes sure to state how hell deduct points. Has a fetish for being difficult and his red pen. WORST teacher I have ever had.

Steer clear of him. Very old school way of teaching. That being said, is a stickler for everything. Makes you feel like youre back in middle school, treats you as such too. Only graded on tests and labs. Get one little thing wrong the majority problem is wrong. Goes on tangents like crazy, mostly irrelevant , drove me nuts. Half the class dropped.

I got a B+ in this class because I learned the material on my own with the book and youtube/khan academy - attend class to do labs and see how he wants you to show work. Beyond this, you learn nothing from him. He wants to be remembered as challenging - he certainly is difficult, but will not help you grow as a person/student.

Do yourself a favor and do NOT take this professor. I do not have any experience with him in person, but online you are not going to get a bit of teaching from him. Zero class time, very mediocre videos he posts that do not even help you on the homework, and exams are extraordinary difficult. If you take this course, expect homework graded late too

This guy is a joke. Teachers are meant to teach and he lacks that ability. He "teaches" as if you know everything about physics. This is an intro class, and it's taught as if it's advanced. His lectures have very little correlation to the homework itself, the one assignment a week on average takes 7 hours to complete. Take a better teacher!!!!!!!!!

Do not take this Professor. He cares not for you, your grade, or how well you understand the material. He does not help you understand Physics and you have to use the book or just hit practice another on the homework to understand anything. You won't understand the material but maybe the math. He fails students for minor infractions. DO NOT TAKE!

This professor was horrible. He never gave extra credit opportunity to try and bring your grade up and he only graded on test that were heavy on grading . Also the test didn't make sense with wording. His lectures didn't make sense either. He was also a rude when you emailed him for help Macomb honestly need to fire teachers like this.

By far the worst professor I have ever had. I truly felt like he was working against my efforts to succeed. He was MONTHS late grading multiple assignments. Making it hard to know how to improve. I say all of this as someone who has taken 160 Credits between two schools, and still received a B in his class. ABSOLUTELY avoid him at all costs.

straight up tells the class that it is near impossible to get an A, is one of those professors that take pride in seeing his students fail. class started with around 20 kids, ended with 5. the average on our first exam was a 38 and he did not seem to care- instead took it out on the class that we did not prepare

Dude was a pain in the ass. No cracking your fingers in class and make sure you do not tap your pen. He did an amazing job teaching us the history of everything, sadly, none of this was on the test at all and he would not explain how to do the problems. After the first few exams you will be down to single digits, about 3 remained by the end.

Do NOT take him! A month into class half of the students are considering dropping. The toughest grading prof I have ever dealt with. No rubrics, unclear, lectures on history instead of physics. You WILL get marked down for the stupidest things. I am an A, pre-med student and have never encountered a prof this insane with grading. Avoid at all costs

I am not even trying to be rude or be dramatic, but this professor is not good. He talks about everything but what needs to be taught. Mind you when he does, he teaches it as if we already know it and it is refresher. My class had about 15/24 grades of 15%-30. Our professor did not do anything to improve these grades and moved forward asap. Drop!

This guy does not care how the students are doing in the class. Half the class has dropped and he laughs about it saying, "there won't be many desks full by the end of this one". Doesn't teach talks about space and Albert Einstein the whole time. Everyone in the class is confused and the whole class works together on labs because he wont help. DROP

Trash professor don't understand how he is still employed there

This professor is by far the worst at this college. I took his class for physics, but I learned more about astronomy than anything else. He refuses to show us our actual grades and tells us we cannot receive any sort of outside help to better understand this class. It's his way of teaching or no way at all. Do not take any of his classes.

He's a very bad professor. Half the time he talks about astronomy and when he next blue moon is instead of actual physics. He gives us notes but on the Exams he still gives poor grades even though they're similar to the examples he's given us and the textbook questions. DO NOT TAKE!!!!

No exaggeration and not being rude towards anybody, but do not take him. Like even if you have to a certain semester or it is required for your degree. Either wait or take it at another school. It is very bad and nobody was left at the end of the class except 3 students. Mind you I don't think 2/3 passed. Just trust me. Talks about random things.

When you read ppl reviews, they say don't take him. THEY ARE NOT LYING. Seriously don't. Save yourself $ and time because he's terrible at teaching. He lectures abt stuff that doesn't even correlate to physics and more abt astronomy. Take another professor! you've been warned! this is a class u teach yourself to pass even though it is on campus.

Exams made by him. He is picky. You can give the correct answer, but If work is not shown, done correctly, or can't be read, he will minus points. Exams consist of 7-10 questions with multiple parts. When he does ex problem, does not show u small work he just does them. Calculators are needed but he never uses them. u learn nothing. hard class. bye

I was in a group with 3 others and even with all our combined efforts we STILL had no idea what we were doing. Doesnt help when you ask him to, any slight detail that isnt perfect will result in the assignment not being accepted. All of my group, myself included, dropped the class. Definitely choose a different professor if you can.

worst professor ever at mcc. This professor takes pride in students failing or dropping out of his class, and that is not the attitude a teach/professor/etc should ever have. Lecture has nothing to do with physics, and glosses over one example and spends 2 hours talking about NASA and astronomy. he laughs in your face if you're struggling.

THE WORST!! i am an amazing student, all A's & B's, i had to drop his class! He didn't teach well, rambled about astronomy, gave no homework credit, unclear on examples, exam diff than what was learned. He is there to trick you! No joke. Take this class with someone else. He is very arrogant and is not willing to help those in need. DO NOT TAKE!!!!

This guy has the STRICTEST attendance I have ever seen. 1 minute passes and you are marked absent. He doesn't even like pens CLICKING. Tells his students that more than half the class will drop out.Rants about history and Astrology even though it has nothing to do with what will be graded on tests. I left before it was too late. DO NOT TAKE

Egotistical. He does not let students work out any questions on their own, rather he expects you to spend a minimum of 16 hours per week outside of your class studying, and working on problems from the textbook. Forget your other classes, right? Class consists of watching him work out problems while you copy his work. Who learns like that?

The professor seems as if he doesn't care about your learning. If you ask him a question he doesn't even bother attempting to get you to understand and talks to you in a way that makes it seem like he thinks you're stupid.

worst professor ever, you can't know your grade until last day of the semester you cannot access anything or see if you did good or not in a test or hw because grades are locked until last day of class. I don't know how macomb hired him as a professor.

I don't even know how macomb hires professors like Timothy, if you want to fail the class then take it with Timothy

Get this guy in a space shuttle and out of MCC! Spends 30+ mins per class talking about space/ philosophers. I have a bachelor's and a 3.6 GPA. By far the toughest grader I have had in my college curriculum. The most effort i've put into a class just to receive awful grades. Unless you are a genius or devote your life to his class, steer clear!

This class is a tough one - the professor tends to ramble and the exams are picky. But Unstuck AI and the free textbook can help you prepare. Worth considering other sections if possible.

Do not take this class with this professor if you can take it with a different professor. He ruined my chances of getting into the program I was applying for. He is super condescending, and if you answer questions in class, he will always find something wrong. The same goes for exams, and I am an all-A student.

It never felt like he cared if we passed or failed, and he never went through enough example problems to help us. He just talked about things that would have been interesting only if we weren't trying to pass...

Took Physics in Highschool, they taught it better then this professor. Its an introductory class and he's just too mcuh

Timothy is probably the most difficult professor I have had at macomb. He is a very harsh exam grader, he has long winded and not very useful lectures. Expect to do poorly. You must do your work his way or get no credit. Also prepare for a condecending lecture, and bragging of his failure rates. DONT TAKE!!!

This professor often goes off-topic, talking about Einstein, the moon, and stars instead of the course material. Attendance is strictly enforced, and if you're late, you're marked absent. Quizzes are based on self-evaluations but worded differently, making them confusing.He avoids answering questions directly and is unempathetic to personal issues.

The worst professor I've ever taken, very condescending, rude, and overall horrible. He thinks he's a founding father of macomb. He has a statistic of the last 950 students, and none of them had A's or B+'s.90% of the lectures have nothing to do with physics, he talks about astronomy, history, and other stuff. No partial credit, and tests are hard.

Don't take save your time! The worst professor I've had, you're better off taking this class somewhere else.

If you like physics, DO NOT take him!!! After the first test 80% of the class dropped. His class is a waste of time and money. He needs to retire so a new and better teacher can come in so the class is fun again.

Took a course with this professor 10 years ago. I'm surprised he is still teaching. The counselors are well aware of this professor. He truly was the worst one I had. Can't articulate subject matter and students fail because he doesn't teach to objectives on the course. Avoid this pompous failure of a man at all costs.

I have no idea how this guy is still teaching stay away from this class

Had to drop out of this class after getting a 16% on my first test. Expects every student to study for 20-25+ hours a week in just his class. I also went in during office hours for extra help after the first test (as an all a student) and I explained that I would have liked to finish with a B, was told "That would be quite the turn-around for you"

Set up to fail. Whole grade is from exams, but he will take off points for not doing it "his way". I got a problem correct and received zero credit on it because it was the "wrong perspective". If you look for outside sources (which is needed because he provides no materials to help) and learn a different method you will fail the exams.

Horrible professor, for the first exam I got19/21 questions right and got a 43%, you ought to wait till next semester to take physics if u have to,attendance is mandatory, one sec after class starts u not there, no attendance credit. rambles about history, daily life, etc. lectures useless, and the counselors at mcc already know about him. DONTTAKE

there is a review down the line of two weeks ago, that is the professor's review, no one got anything higher than a D in a class of 5 because the other 25 dropped.dont take this guy. For some dumb reasons he decides to disable overall grades, which when a professor has some odd or weird rule, know that that is a professor that wants no good for you

truly, no way to win with this guy. only resources you get to study for the exam is the one worked out problem he does in class and then the textbook problems which only have answer keys so there's no way to learn from them after an exam he won't let you go over it for more than a few minutes before they're collected again. brags about fail rates

Literally told me since I am a black female that I have lost in both worlds and have no place in physics. By both worlds he meant male and white. Horrible and rude don't take.

As the father of a special needs student that goes to mcc. My son was harassed for being special needs, this is unacceptable and extremely frustrating because I expect my son to be learning this is a disgrace to mcc and the education board of macomb. When my son walked in the room, he was told that you don't have a place here Please look into this

this guy failed half the class, trust me and dont take even think about taking, even if u need it this semster, he will probabily fail you, this guy shouldnt teach at macomb, dont think you are a special student and wont fail, i also thought that when i read the reviews, everyone failed his class.

Run. Away.
