    110A . Incandela J R 10 Years Ago

    Joe Incandela really wants you to do well but he really makes you work for your grade. His first two tests were challenging but his final was very fair. Homework isn't worth a grade so it's all about the tests. Extremely smart guy with a lot of good stories. At the end of the day I'm glad I got to take classes taught by him, he's brilliant.

    115B . Incandela J R 10 Years Ago

    He's a nice guy and very smart but his tests were just too hard. They didn't seem to really mimic the homework problems very well. I wouldn't avoid taking a class with him I just groan when I see his name as the professor because I know it will be very challenging.

    115B . Incandela J R 10 Years Ago

    Incandela is a really smart, very interesting professor. Lectures are interesting and he always throws in some interesting anecdotes about famous physicists he's met and other interesting stories about his career. Not an easy professor, tests are tough and you really have to understand the material but he explains things well and is always helpful.
