Lectures and reading intensive, he does his best to simplify concepts to an extent. He does tend to talk extremely fast but is nice about repeating himself. You need to make sure you're at lectures to get participation points. DO THE READING.

His class essentially doesn't help at all, but you should expect to recite the textbook. Tough exams but not unmanageable. Many exhausting participation points, which I think is very bad design.

Typical physics class, but Dogic is honestly a pretty good lecturer. As long as you study and show up, understand concepts like any other class, you will do well. Also do the homework, questions are literally gonna be on the test. Lecture examples show up on tests. It easier if you like physics XD.

I dont know why my mans gets so much slander, taught 142B and 110L. Makes you dig deep into the material and will have challenging test questions, but has generous curve. Overall a nice guy who makes you work with peers.

A good professor that has insightful answers to any question thrown at them. Allows for a fluid flow of lecture material and helps bring topic points together. Class engagement is friendly, and students walk away ready to take homework while learning more from the problems.

Dogic isn't the greatest at answering questions off-the-cuff (he'd often make mistakes when proving things on the board in class) but he's a funny and good-demeanored professor and I regret not going to his office hours more. Difficulty spike after the first midterm, but fully understand the homeworks on GauchoSpace and you'll be fine. Solid choice

Right before the final, Dogic decided to give a bunch of new material and not even go over it in the slides. I don't know what he wants from us. Its so disheartening to study just for him to throw more stuff that hasn't even been discussed nor is it in the same chapter. He didn't even assign that chapter, he simply didn't say anything.

He is one of the nicest professors I've ever had. It's obvious he genuinely cares about his students and will answer every question during lectures. His office hours are also super helpful. His lecture slides were very messy and hard to understand, so attending lectures is important to do well. The homework is difficult but prepares you for exams.

Tbh not a good lecturer, but he's so nice and genuine that it doesn't even matter. Class moves at a slow enough pace that the textbook is all you need, lectures will just confuse you. Tests aren't easy but the HW prepares you well for it. Very fair grader, also unintentionally hilarious. Chill, down to earth prof with abundant office hours.

Professor Dogic is really caring and wants all of his students to do well, so he always available during office hours. The lecture slides can sometimes be confusing, but he answers all questions in class so be sure to go to the lectures. There is lots of Hw, but it is similar to the problems on the exams which makes it very good practice.

That was so hard. But it's not his fault it's hard. Content starts out easy and then the final comes around and you'd rather live in the dark than learn another thing about electricity. Dogic himself is a great lecturer, funny guy, not super easy to reach by email but great in office hours. The 2 midterms were easy like the hw but final was insane.

Two weekly hw components, (MP and written) and the written problems were good practice for his two midterms, which were both fair. Final was way harder than anything we'd seen before, and took over 3 hours. It's obvious he cared abt his students and his lectures were great, but that last test was insane. He's def not the worst phys prof though.

The exam is super difficult. He tried to improve the level of the class by letting students learn by themselves or drop the class. Not even as caring about students as other biochemistry professors, but you have to take this class anyway if you want to get a degree at UCSB, while he will be your worst enemy to let you get that. DONT TRY THIS CLASS!

Dont know what all the hate is for. Everything is straight out of the book and yeah its challenging buts its a challenging subject. Curves are nice

"The average is a lot lower than I expected, but I'm waiting for the students that lowered the average to drop the class to bring it back to what the average should be. So I'm not going to curve the midterm." -Brandon Greene 3 live lectures, and video lectures, and read the textbook for quizzes before each lecture, still not enough for the test.

During COVID: Live Lectures were mandatory but not useful towards learning. tests during class on topics that you learned on your own the night or 2 before, had quizzes before every lecture. Had offline lectures. Overall, he didn't explain much, left you on your own, and would be disappointed when the class fails as he seemed to hate curving .

If you can do not take 142 series in UCSB.

142A is a tough class in UCSB, he definitely put lots of effort into this class. However, most students still learn everything on themselves by reading the textbook. Dr. Greene is very stubborn, once he decides something (grading and stuff),others' advice is useless. One good thing is that he's very available out of class.

This course if very test-heavy. The difficulty of the tests are also much harder than the homework (which are tedious enough) and are hard to finish on time. Two midterms, one final, and weekly homework (both on Mastering Physics and written homework). I would recommend a different professor, in my opinion. Regardless, good luck.

He tried but it was his first time of teaching this class. Midterms and final were long and hard to finish with a short given amount of time. Textbook will be your best friend. But he was still the better option for biochem from chem department. If you are premed, please consider mcdb before taking it.

Prof Dogic tried his best during this time. He's genuinely a good person and even when we were behind, he still kept on answering questions and wanted students to learn. The material is genuinely hard (more difficult than PHYS 1 and 2 by far imo) so students struggled a lot. His teaching could be better though. Difficult tests, lots of homework.

I definitely shouldnt drop reich and Kahns 142. Even lower avg than Kahn. Very little curve. Curve based on highest score but you should know every class has a few people who can do very well on any test. God bless u if ur section has smart brain. I ended up with learning nothing but understanding his weird wording to pass the test.

This guy is just another researcher with no proper ability to teach whatsoever. His lectures were so hard to follow even when I was able to replay what he was saying. Homework was so tedious and pretty useless when it came to exams. Which btw are extremely hard. Like cmon dude if you can't teach well, at least make tests easy

Incredible class! Not only will you be lost in lecture, you'll be lost afterwards since the slides are completely scuffed! Homework will take you hours, only to be useless since the exams are homework questions juiced on roids! All because he defaults that we're cheating anyways, so you might as well buy Chegg and fulfill your divine prophecy.
