Level LimitLetters and science
CollegeVery clear with words, notation, and logic. A+ lectures! I have had Dr. B twice now, and I think his class is generally easier than others, for better or for worse.
To put it simply, Dr.B just wants you to learn the stuff while still having fun. He records his lectures by bulk just to accomodate those that might not make it to the sessions. He actively tries to engage with us, cracks jokes, and thanks us when we point out errors or confusion notations on the board. Best part? He is having fun teaching us too.
funny guy and easy class
Very funny and energetic man. He covers a lot of material in a short amount of time, but it is still understandable.
I love that he wants people to ask questions no matter how "stupid" you think the question may be. He just wants students to engage and enjoy how awesome math and physics are which I think makes his lectures very fun. He creates a very comfortable learning environment.
He is the goat. I had him for a few other classes (PHYS8, INT86VW), and he always ensured he knew what he was talking about, unlike other professors. He can always provide a good answer to your question, and he encourages you to ask questions. He also gives good academic advice and will help you steer in the right direction.
