I did not learn much in this class. It was impossible to study for the tests because nothing he said was consistent. The lectures did not match up with the homework, recitations, or lab. He lets you use the book on the test, but it doesn't matter because nothing from his lectures are in the book. The final was ridiculous.

The only thing I enjoyed from him was that he was somewhat funny. The thing is though, I came to learn physics and not to laugh which he is a terrible teacher. My first two tests I got were 810 only because I watched khan videos while others struggled to get half of the points. The only way people pass is because of his relative scale.

He is a classic example of a very smart person who is a very bad teacher. He was never comfortable giving lectures and I felt that he changed his lecture style often purely out of hoping to find an effective one. Class average for exams was in the 30's, be ready to learn on your own. Heavy curves and very relaxed grading scales saved most students.

I feel like the ratings here are unfair so I'll put in my two cents. Dr. Huh is the best physics professor at SDSU. Others are correct- he's too smart to be teaching here. But the dept. is trash and he's better than Bonvallet. He is hard to follow, but if you learn how he works problems and can repeat it you'll survive- try to follow his thinking.
