    PHY6B . Geller R M 6 Months Ago

    only 1 midterm & final. He doesn't cover practice problems in class but rambles on certain parts of a topic. I enjoyed his circuits lectures but the final was really tough for what we had learned and the practice exams. personally fumbled the first midterm and got around the avg on the final and passed. I recommend freund (goat). LOTS OF HW

    The class was going great until the final. There were questions on topics I had never seen before, including modules that he skipped over and said we didn't need to know.

    Students are expected to know a ridiculous amount of information w/o clear guidelines about what is actually tested. 5% of the lecture content is useful review/practice problems; the other 95% is tangents and demos that overcomplicate things. Instead of providing additional practice materials, he told us to generate practice problems using AI.

    Lectures are just repetitions of the topics covered in the pre-lecture videos, so the lectures feel really redundant. I studied for 2 weeks doing all the available problems multiple times and even generated new ones. Still felt really unprepared for whatever that final was. passed tho

    If you're looking for a professor who is more concerned with his status within the Physics department than he is with working with actual students, you've found the one! Be prepared to study with very minimal resources and the possibility of complete curveball exams where he ramps up the difficulty to "even out the curve"...

    If you want a good GPA, avoid at all costs
