    PHYS21 . 11 Months Ago

    Though sometimes the explanation are a bit abstract and hard to understand, but he's accessible outside of class, so I can still understand most of the contents. Also, the homework and test have reasonable difficulty, which the class is enjoyable.

    PHYS23 . 1 Year, 1 Month Ago

    Excellent professor! Occasionally went a bit slow in lecture, and the homework was much harder than the quizzes or exams.

    PHYS21 . 1 Year, 1 Month Ago

    Great professor, not much else too say. You should expect a lot of work is Physics 20 series regardless of the professor.

    PHYS22 . 1 Year, 2 Months Ago

    Does not give the most clear answers to your questions. Pretty chill dude and his lectures were pretty good imo
