I'll give him a chili because he was awfully upset when he found out no one gave him a chili here.

Great professor. Had lots of demos which made class fun. Sometimes I felt he needed more examples and less off-topic discussions. Exams were fair considering we were allowed cheat sheets, a calculator and he curves. He was very personable. Ton's of homework. Keep up with the homework because they are worth as much as an exam.

wonderful professor...he uses lots of demos to explain concepts, his exams of fair, and he's personable. I started his class hating physics, and I'm now considering a physics major.

Very entertaining! Likes to connect physics to life sciences. His tests are hard though.

Fair class, we were given cheat sheets and calculators for tests. Can have somewhat hard test but gives u a syllabus of whats going to be on it. Fun demos, good personality and funny. The only downside is that too many fun demos less teaching. Needs to teach the material more and not go off on astronomy tangents. Over good prof. with a curve.

Makes lectures fun with demos, but doesnt always teach enough. You have to do all the reading and homework to learn. Nice and funny guy. The 1st midterm was really hard, but they get easier if you know what youre doing.

Though the class and exams may seem tough, the curve makes everything ok. As long as you're somewhat prepared and have all the formulas on the sheet for the exams, you should be just fine! He makes class fun with his demonstrations and weird reactions to them!

This guy is awesome. He's great at explaining everything, and does cool demos in lecture. And the tests are extremely easy, i dont know why everyone complains.

kinda hard but funny and wants to help

Fun and nice. Very helpful. Great demonstrations end engaging lectures.

He is a very enthused professor. LOVE LOVE LOVE his demos. always made it to class because of his demos. exams are very hard for phys 1, phys 2 was a little easier. hw is hard too. but you can get away with these by going to CLAS or going ot him for help.

AWESOME!!! One of the best teachers I've ever had in my life. He makes the course so fun and interesting, I barely noticed how insanely hard the homework was. And he has the crazy physicist hair! He's taking time off now so he can write a book. So sad.

really great if you can get through some painful learning. hard as hell tests unless ur a natural at physics. also, take it just to watch in class demos...he's awesome and always enthused. i really enjoy that he brings life to a sometimes dull subject.

funny hair and great examples in class

He was really nice, but I was unprepared for how hard his testing would be.

Cant teach the material, goofy, hard tests, cant teach, not a good teacher, dosn't teach well, dosen't know how to teach.

Very clear teaching.

The best physics professor, shown by his class being FULL every single quarter.

His lectures are fun and energetic lots of extra info that makes physics fun (spy technology, quantum physics, time travel). Yes, you have to read the book to understand the baisics!! Could just read the book (do the homework) and pass the class...

great energetic guy but i gotta say hes not dat great a teacher. doesnt cover much in class, few examples, too much bs n jokes, i come to learn not to listen to some jokes. hard test too!!!

I don't get why students like this guy... '_'# He doesn't explain most of the hard stuff, but likes to take time talking about spy planes, and bs like that...what a waste go take DOUG FOLSOM for PHysics 1 if you've never taken Physics before!

doesnt cover much in class, the only way you are getting through his classes is if you have already had physics or u devote this quarter to the class
