    PHYS110A . Nerella T 9 Months Ago

    He's a little quiet, but he's a great lecturer and will explain topics very easily. Answers emails really quickly as well and will spend extra time after lecture for questions. Very accommodating for extension as well.

    PHYS110A . Nerella T 2 Years Ago

    Professor Nerella is great!! The class starts off pretty easy but ramps up quickly near the end. The exams are long, and pretty tough. He is super caring and presents the course material with a good balance of mathematical rigor, advanced topics, and physical intuition. Lecture can be a little slow, but definitely one of my favorite profs.
