If this professor is available take him. The course will be difficult no matter the professor, but Dr. B does it right. You won't regret it!

Dr. B had been instrumental in inspiring me to be a better physicist and aspiring physics educator. His lectures are of amazing quality and his ability to answer questions and clarify complex misunderstandings is an extremely unique quality. His passion for physics and his work ethic as an educator are unmatched. I would recommend him to anyone.

Awesome professor, and makes you learn thermodynamics really really well. Highly recommended!

I have taken 11 classes (7 CCS classes, 3 upper division classes, and 1 special relativity seminar) with Dr.B and never regretted a bit. He is my best mentor and he helped shaped me as a beginner physicist. He is always available to answer my questions as I bump into him. And he is always willing to understand my confusion before giving an answer.

Dr. B was amazing. He is enthusiastic, funny, and caring. Good at teaching complicated concepts. Wants all of his students to succeed, and is always willing to give advice or inspirational speeches. Weekly quizzes and iClicker. Homework and tests are long and difficult, but if you work hard and study you will be fine

Brilliant professor, makes great lectures. He's willing to answer all your questions and is definitely helpful. Has a bit of accent but if you pay attention then it's fine. If you're not good at physics the course might seem hard, but review sessions cover basically the same type of questions as midterms and finals so go to them.

Generally good professor, making sure every student in the lecture is following him. Course materials beyond lectures are very crucial to be studied. He grades a bit tough. He will make sure the average grade be around B-. And this time the A+ line is 99%, which is really strict, and I got 98%, hmm...

Dr.B is a really good professor. He always answers my question. The course is not easy, but if you ask question when you are not sure, it's not difficult to get a good grade. He really wants his students perform well. Once he answered my question until 1 min before his next class, so nice! Homework and practice is harder than test, so work hard.

My favorite professor in UCSB! He is super caring and he makes everything crystal clear. I wish I could learn E&M and Quantum with him...

Professor Bibilashvili is still my favorite professor so far. I had him for physics 20 and 21 over a year ago. Crystal clear in his explanations for problems. He is super caring, and will still meet with me to help me figure out my schedule or answer any questions I have about what classes i should take or whatever.

The material in this class is pretty boring but Dr. B's mannerisms and accent really keep you engaged. He's an amazing teacher, you learn A LOT in class. He genuinely wants to give everyone an A and is very committed to helping students succeed. REALLY wish he taught the whole series. This class is HARD, do the hw, the reading and GO GO CLASS.

Dr B is the best he's hilarious and often stops mid lecture to give an inspirational speech or two. Midterms were straightforward, the final was difficult but the end of the class curve was generous

Home works are very hard, however midterms and finals are much easier.

Best, most inspirational physics professor I've ever had. Able to explain abstract concepts in the most simple way.

He is a great lecturer who cares about his students, but there is a lot of homework and tests are tough and sometimes unclear

Great teacher. Hilarious.

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.

Amazing. Wish that he could teach all of my classes.

Strong accent and hard to understand. Tries to be funny and often is not. Tries to help. Midterm harder than final. Does a huge 20% curve at the end of the quarter. Uses clicker and has quizzes once a week. Stay on top of the material.

I don't know what he is like for easier classes but for 110B I have to say he is the worst teacher I have ever had. The man can confuse you about stuff you already know. He teaches out of several books at a time and all of them are graduate texts. His homework assignments are ridiculously long and hard.

very happy professor. i found his lectures very confusing and difficult to understand. midterms are harder than the final in my experience.

Super sweet man. He says multiple times that his class isn't meant to be hard and he means it. Go to class and pay attention and you will do fine. Honestly, I screwed up an easy class by not going and not paying attention when I went.

Pay attention for the quizzes. Definitely conceptual and not math so be careful how you study, that's how I messed up the midterm and had to haul ass for the final (worth 60 percent).

The happiest professor I've had yet, always so cheerful and energetic. He likes to incorporate jokes into his lectures and encourages students to answer/ask questions. However, it's recommend that you take CLAS or go to PSR if physics isn't your strong suit.
