PHYS104 . Bibilashvili 4 Years Ago

Very 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.

I feel like Dr. B is a little overrated. He spends a lot of time cracking jokes and rambling but doesn't say much in terms of substance. He also teaches very heavily out of the textbook, to the point where he'll just say passages straight from the textbook.

PHYS8 . Bibilashvili A Month Ago

I am a freshman at UCSB who was lucky enough to get Dr. B as my physics professor. He truly was an outstanding kind and caring professor. He highly encouraged in class participation and it was clear that he genuinely wanted all students to learn and enjoy his class. As long as you apply yourself in class and let him teach you will do great!

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.

Very funny and energetic man. He covers a lot of material in a short amount of time, but it is still understandable.
