I had Dr. Blaes for a bunch of classes within the Physics major. He was, absolutely, my favorite professor.

clear, well-prepared lectures and fair grading system. fairly rigerous homework schedule but it ends up being helpful at the end.

awesome class... final was a little too hard and homework was challenging. but help is there and the midterm was a breeze

Blaes allows cheat sheets. He is very good at teaching 1 to 1. Funny in lecture too. Homework sucks but he is a fair teacher.

Very nice guy... a bit of an english accent or something i dont know, i hate when he says cos like "cause". LOL Other than that, he does a good job! Difficult tests..

Really puts a lot of energy into his work.

Blaes loves physics and if you go to his office hours he will help you with whatever you need. He is fair. The homework is pretty intense though.

He's a pretty fair teacher & likes teaching. Sometimes a lot of work to keep up.

he's a very enthusiastic lecturer. at grad level, materials may be a bit skimpy, but that's more of a fault of quarter system. he does filter the materials rather well.

DO NOT TAKE BLAES!! no cheat sheet on midterms, 20 written homework assignments for each chapter. The final was nothing like the homework problems. Does not give examples for problems. PURELY ALL CONCEPTUAL which I had a hard time learning.
