PHYS21 . Bibilashvili A Month Ago

Nice professor and a kind person. He is willing to spend time helping students outside of lecture hours. Some homework assignments and section worksheets were difficult, but they were helpful for learning the material. The final was not easy, but with good preparation, you can at least make a solid attempt. He also curves the grades.

Dr. B is very nice and passionate about teaching, however his lectures are almost identical to the textbook we're reading and he just doesn't do a very good job of explaining the material. His exams were way harder than the homework and section problems he would give us and would grade hard but curve at the end of class.

Love this guy, class was really hard but he made it very enjoyable. Always very accessible during his office hours and explained things very well.

He doesn't believe in shoes. He is great at explaining things from the ground up so lectures are very insightful but it's easy to get lost. The homework is wild but the quizzes are easy and the exam is based on the quizzes. It's a lot of work but he's amazing.

I feel like Dr. B is a little overrated. He spends a lot of time cracking jokes and rambling but doesn't say much in terms of substance. He also teaches very heavily out of the textbook, to the point where he'll just say passages straight from the textbook.

I am a freshman at UCSB who was lucky enough to get Dr. B as my physics professor. He truly was an outstanding kind and caring professor. He highly encouraged in class participation and it was clear that he genuinely wanted all students to learn and enjoy his class. As long as you apply yourself in class and let him teach you will do great!
