GELLER R M
Every time I left lecture, I was unsure about what Geller wanted me to take away from it. The final for 6C was the hardest exam of my life. So many question types that were unlike anything we have seen before. Practice tests don't really help you. The Achieve homework is a nice grade buffer. Definitely take Freund if you can!
Professor Geller is a very interesting and funny lecturer. His class is fascinating and a fun GE to take. He is passionate about the subject. There is quite a bit of textbook readings and weekly homework assignments, but overall, an enjoyable class.
great lecturer, loves to talk about astronomy. Very friendly guy, but gives a lot of textbook readings and assignments on a weekly basis. All in all, not that challenging of a class. Enjoyable GE.
This class can be a lot of work for non stem majors but is very fascinating. He is super funny and very passionate about all things astronomy so his lectures are always interesting. Exams are multiple choice and very straightforward. He is happy to go down any rabbit hole about physics.
Honestly I'm not sure why Geller gets so much hate. I find him to be quite entertaining and his commentary in his lecture videos makes me laugh. He is a good professor and I feel like I've learned the most physics than the other two classes in the series. I strongly dislike physics but I will say that Geller definitely does keep me engaged.
Geller is a good professor. Not gonna change your life but he is super into astro and the class is generally fun and basic. He will not teach you the math, however there is very little math and you are probably fine if you know basic algebra and memorize what each variable means (T for time etc.) Just be ready to read and do constant achieve work
Geller teaches in a conceptual way. The pro about this teaching style is you're likely to understand how the world works better. The con is that learning problem-solving that matters for MT's is done on your own time. He gives you all the tools though. Know how to do the BP's (which aren't a lot) by heart and look at "good-student" notes. (6.75/10)
A funny dude but his lectures are very heavy, not to mention the huge study load which included homework and 8 sections of reading a week. His sections are where you are graded (weekly quizzes), which can mess you up because his grading is weird. Just not my cup of tea.
Amazing lectures, is always communicating with students about questions before, after and with emails. Essays in sections are usually straightforward, and multiple-choice exams. Geller also loves answering questions about random topics.
Lectures are packed with info but if you find astronomy, math, geology, etc interesting then it will be a fun but semi-hard class. Lots of reading, minimal math, mostly memorization.
professor seems chill, but too too much homework. As a summer online course, it takes about at least 3 hours per day.
Lots of homework which make up a lot of your grade which is super nice. Exams are hard but fair, if you keep up with the homework and do the practice problems he gives you will be fine. His lectures are super entertaining and interesting, always doing some fun demos.
