I took physics 20, freshman year, and I am glad I had Dr. B as my professor. He makes the class incredibly fun, and makes sure that everyone understands him. He is really friendly and approachable. The class itself is not very easy, but if you pay attention in class and do the required work, it wouldn't be difficult to succeed.

Dr. B. is one of, if not THE best professor I have had at UCSB so far. He is engaging and entertaining. He will always thoroughly explain anything a student asks him. He tirelessly works to help students and makes sure they understand. In his words, "Is it clear? Is it crystal clear? Let me show you again."

Excellent professor and always entertaining. Makes a difficult subject interesting/fun to learn and makes jokes throughout lecture. Overall pretty difficult because of the material but he really makes an effort to make sure you understand the topic. Overall excellent professor and by far one of my favorites.

Dr B made this class more interesting than any physics class I had taken in the past. It was very challenging and I had to push myself to do well.

Makes a difficult subject fun with examples. Goes out of his way to make sure you completely understand. Encourages questions and participation and is always available for help. Super friendly!

Favorite professor thus far at UCSB! Hated physics prior to his class, made it interesting. Has an accent but is easily understandable and often makes jokes making class more fun. Forces his students to participate and involve themselves in lecture. Always available for questions

Great lectures and works well with TA to make sure sections are helpful also. Office hours are more than worth the student's while. Very friendly, very straightforward, very good teacher overall. His homework prepares you for his exams, both were challenging but manageable.

Really friendly!

Hands down the best professor at UCSB. He makes class fun, it was the first time I looked forward to going to class because of the professor (and physics of all classes). He's so helpful and has a genuine interest in the subject and really wants all students to do well. His tests are straightforward and he's really helpful and funny.
