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.

PHYS110B . Bibilashvili 8 Years Ago

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.

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.

Best professor ever!!!!! Tests are reasonable and he explain things really clear. His class prepares you for the HW and test. He is also super friendly. Go for him and you'll never regret.

One of the best professors I've ever had at UCSB. His lectures are very entertaining. His class is straightforward. Do well on the homework and quizzes and you'll do well on exams: no tricks.

Dr. B is so sweet! His lectures are easy to understand and he's pretty funnyentertaining. His tests are fair and if you pay attention in class and do the homework you'll probably get an A.

Bibilashvili is really funny and that gives you a good reason to come to class. He's willing to help you out, but he also expects hard work from you which is fair.

Tengiz is a really funny professor but his lectures are confusing and usually all over the place. He's really into physics which is cool, but the homework, lectures, and tests have almost no correlation.

The best professor I've had at UCSB hands down. Genuinely cares about the class understanding the material, goes as slowly and in depth as you need, and is goofy in a very endearing way

His lectures are clear and he is hilarious. He has iclicker questions and weekly in-class quizzes. He assigns a low amount of homework, though each one usually has at least 1 difficult question. His midterm is extremely easy, but his final is extremely difficult; do not rely on his practice final. He has a pre-set curve and seems willing to help.

He's a great guy and really cares about you doing as great in his class as you possibly can. The midterms are fair, but the final will really test whether you understand the material or not. Do not solely rely on his practice questions for the final. Understand how to do the online homework problems too, because those are fair game unfortunately.

Nice guy but was never able to connect with what he was teaching. He would waste a lot of time deriving equations and asking for class participation on questions that nobody had interest in. Never did any real problems in class and left class feeling like I didn't learn anything. The midterms are pretty easy though, homework is horrible.

Dr. B is the best. He is so nice and really cares about the learning of his students. There are a lot of assignments that contribute to your grade and lots of places to get help. His tests are fair and are a direct reflection of what you learn in lecture.

Had him first quarter for Physics 20 and then I liked him so much I applied to CCS and now he's been teaching me over a year. Absolutely, hands down, the best professor I've ever had. He's hilarious, is perfectly clear about what he says, and wants nothing more than to teach everyone the best he can. If you want to love Physics, take him.

Best Physics Professor! He really tries to help the students and getting them engage by asking various amounts of questions. His test where not too difficult. A lot of the questions on the test were similar to the ones on the homework, so do the hw! Overall, not too difficult of a class. Just put in the effort and you should be able to do well.

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."
