CollegeBest professor I've ever had. He made me love Physics again. Take California Physics with him. He posts all the lecture notes online. After the midterm, we only had a final paper and homework--in any other physics class attendance would drop to zero at that point. In this class, everyone went out of respect for the most interesting prof at UCSB
Among the best lectures I have taken
Great professor, his lectures are clear, and he loves answering questions. Detailed lecture notes are helpful, and exams are fair. The only problem might be that he sometimes spends so much time answering questions that he has to skip some of the material and go through others a bit too fast...
This guy is the best. He's humble and excited and really there to help you understand the material. He takes almost every single question in lecture, and drives home the main points. Homework takes a while but you learn a lot through it. Just a great guy who runs pleasant lectures.
