CollegeGood professor
In hindsight, Caratelli is awesome compared to other physics professors. He's extremely smart, tries his best in lectures, and prepares you well for exams with practice tests. Although a tad bit unapproachable at times (ask properly thought-out questions, he likes to see effort), he is still very helpful. Very reasonable grader as well.
Goated. Don't complain.
nice professor
Prof. Caretelli's is, in my opinion, a "MID" professor but in a good way. His PHYS 22 is standard, nothing extraordinary, but is solid and well-explained. Midterms and Final are somewhat hard but a huge curve is applied. Most other people I know of loves his class as well. Grade: A.
Took PHYS 21 in F2024. Very standard. Material is similar to AP Phys Mech in high school, but it's focused on understanding and not just plugging in numbers from equations given. Only HW, midterm and final are graded, but all are reasonable. Grade wasn't curved (but phys 22 will be)
