He is a very good professor. He makes physics as easy at it can get. His lectures are posted online so you dont have to go to class. He also has review sessions to help you study for the quizzes. Great guy

I have more respect for this man than any other professor I've had here. He goes out of his way to ensure you succeed by helping in any way imaginable. Physics isn't easy, but Cannell makes it do-able as long as you're willing to work hard, and if you're not, I'd question what you're doing in college.

Cannell is a class act. Casually stylish and extremely helpful, he is a diamond in the rough. Love him.

This class was hard. In lecture he doesn't teach concepts right off the bat; instead expects that you have already done the reading and understand the concepts based off the homework. CLAS was helpful. Cannell is very nice and attending OH is a great idea. Be prepared to work in this class. Avg on final was 48%...

Best prof i've had at ucsb, and Im not even a physics major!

Best physics professor at UCSB. Engaging lectures, but stale homework. Luckily, the homework grade can be dropped if you do well on the tests. Midterms are pretty easy, but final is a bit trickier.
