PHYS115B . Campagnari C 3 Years Ago

Great prof for 115B. Approachable for office hours and generous for grading. I didn't have to stress out about learning the course material.

PHYS129L . Campagnari C 6 Years Ago

He always seems like he is overflowing with happiness. Talking with him makes my day better. His class started out really easy; I thought about dropping it because it was too easy. By the end, I was struggling to to complete the homework. Dr. Campagnari is always ready to answer your questions. I highly recommend him, if you are ready to work.

PHYS24 . Campagnari C 7 Years Ago

Two words: awesome curve. His final average was an 80, he still decided to curve the class average to a B+. Very nice and lectures actually make sense (unlike most teachers in the 20 series).

Meh, this class was okay. It was hard, but I would recommend going to office hours since the grades are flexible and curved. CLAS is important. Class is helpful and necessary. Do the practice problems and homework. I think the only teachers for this class are him and another guy who has a similar teaching style so this review is rather pointless :)

Great teacher, very enthusiastic. Definitely the best teacher I had for the 20 series

He is an OK lecturer and I did a lot better than I thought I would. I wish he taught the entire 6 physics series.
