Great at explaining concepts and gives useful example problem at the end of every lecture. Posts lecture slides before class. Has a prelecture assignment every lecture and homework due every sunday. Exams are hard, but it's physics lol. Grading is lenient, if you get a 52.5% in the class you pass.

Professor Koutroulakis is a very engaging lecturer. He definitely takes his time with concepts rather than giving you the best tips for solving problems, but if you take advantage of the sections and online textbook, you will be fine. His grading process is essentially pre-curved, which I think made most students score better than they expected.

Dr. Koutroulakis is fantastic all-around. Even though this class was easy as I took AP Physics before, he explained complex concepts in a simple way and often uses live demonstrations to illustrate concepts, which makes the material interesting to learn. The discussions are a great way to practice and clarify concepts. Highly recommend his class.

This class would probably have been rough had I not taken AP Physics, but that's just because it's physics. George is a great lecturer, and teaches with a lot of purpose. Tests are basically more textbook problems and are reasonable. I actually like the no-curve: it takes away the toxic competitive stuff and focuses us on just understanding.

Take this review with a grain of salt because I took AP physics C. This is a difficult class, but Koutrakulous makes it easier with incredible explanations. He is just a very high-quality lecturer. To excel on tests you NEED to do many practice problems or have prior physics experience.

Take my diffculty review with a grain of salt because I did take AP physics C. Professor Koutroulakis is one of the best teachers I ever had. He made diffcult concepts simple while giving intresting and fun examples. Homeworks are helpful to the exam. The exams were stright forward and simlar to all problems you'd do in class/for homework.
