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.

PHYS103 . Bibilashvili 11 Years Ago

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.

PHYS115A . Bibilashvili A Month Ago

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.

he is a good professor, can be a little difficult in a six week course

INT84AT . Bibilashvili 5 Months Ago

INT 84AT is, on paper, Dr. B's blackbody radiation seminar; but it's actually a full-blown thermodynamics introductory course. The course is fantastic and also quite difficult for me, but as with all other Dr. B seminar courses, there is nothing a couple of all-nighters can't solve. Grade: A+.

PHYSCS5 . Bibilashvili 5 Months Ago

Physics CS5 is a P/NP CCS lower-div QM introductory course. He is the supervisor and the actual lecturer is Mr. Simon Blanch, a junior physics major. The whole course is fantastic, like all previous courses I took with him. Credit needs to go to Simon too, but since he is not a prof, I'll express my gratitude here instead. Thank (both of) you!
