PHY7B . Koutroulakis 1 Year, 6 Months Ago

Physics 7B is hard, but Koutroulakis is a good professor. His exams were hard, and I never felt prepared for them. I think he does the best he can; the course just sucks. I hate his discussion sections, though. A 2 hour discussion section is wild and unnecessary for this class. I don't know anyone who actually likes to go to section.

Lectures are great and concepts are explained very well. The class is very organized and only topics covered in class are on the exams. The homework assignments and discussion questions prepare you well for the exams

His exams are way harder than they need to be. I'm also not a fan of the way he lectures cause he treats everything like common knowledge and doesn't explain this step by step. Also, who gives homework due right before the final? His exams were easy in 7A so idk why they're so much harder in 7B

Not too hard, not too easy. I enjoyed his class.

PHYS7C . Koutroulakis A Month Ago

I really liked how the professor included multiple demonstrations in every lecture, they really helped illustrate complex points. Lectures themselves have very little application though, and if you miss class the slides are very little help. Homework problems are of similar difficulty to tests, so do them with intention and you will succeed.

A great lecturer for 7A. Take my word with a grain of salt, I had taken AP Physics C before so these concepts were review, but he definitely is great at explaining things. Homework is fair and helpful, and tests can include challenging problems but they're always within reach.
