PHYS103 . Bibilashvili 8 Years Ago

Dr. B is the best physics professor Ive had at SB. Takes the times to make sure students understand the subject matter. Exams are reasonable, homework is not too difficult, end-of-term curve is very generous. Has the ability to explain abstract concepts in a simple and easy to understand manner. Wish I could have him for every physics class.

Great lectures and works well with TA to make sure sections are helpful also. Office hours are more than worth the student's while. Very friendly, very straightforward, very good teacher overall. His homework prepares you for his exams, both were challenging but manageable.

PHYSCS34 . Bibilashvili 4 Days Ago

Physics CS34 is the CCS lower division E&M course. I legit don't understand who needs to check Dr.B's rating at this point, but here we go: FANTASTIC professor, make 200% effort to make sure to get the course content. Just take his classes, go to his office hours and have a fun chat with him!

Hands down the greatest math class I have ever taken. Office hours are amazing, he explains topics in many different ways, and he cooperates extremely closely with his TAs and LAs to ensure that the students' needs are met. Tests and quizzes are typically his easiest assignments. He wants you to succeed, and he is extremely enthusiastic. Take him!!

AMAZING professor that you CANNOT miss in UCSB. Very clear in lecture, very helpful in homework and exams. Also he is caring about students and gives many directions in physics career. The world best professor from my view.
