Collegehe's very good teacher. very clear, and funny...
Bob's the kind of professor you wish you could have for every class. Presents material clearly, has an excellent sense of humor, just an all-around good guy. He clearly recycles exam questions, but the questions aren't super hard to begin with. His homework will make you sweat a bit, the book isn't all that great, but he gives good online notes
Pros: Pretty much a repeat of Phys 3 and 4 with some extras thrown in for funsies, easy straightforward exams, relaxed lectures, hw will prepare you for exams. Cons: missed some lectures, appears very busy, hw during midterm week. Overall: If you succeeded in physics 3-4 this class is cake
Pros: chill, reuses HW/exam questions from previous years, clear lectures, exams resemble HW, negotiated midterm date, OH helpful, online notes, cheat sheets. Cons: section is useless bc examples are difficult, reading book is important, wave portion of class is understated, TA got HW at 5pm, disappointingly ez if you have previous year's stuff.
One of the best professors I've had to date. Lectures worth attending, straightforward exams, pretty enthusiastic about topic. Homework takes some effort though.
Very clear lectures and relevant homework. Has a passion and interest in the subject. Easily the best engineering professor I've had to date.
