PHYSTWO . 14 Years Ago

The most awful professor I have ever had. He mumbles incomprehensibly and screws up his own problems...His problems start organized, then some unexplained magic happens, then the answer is sort of hinted at but never expressed because he is so unsure of his own calculations. Does not deserve a job at a UC definitely

He's a nice guy, and he's willing to help you in any way he can. His tests are super easy usually being multiple choice and having partial credit. His lectures are kind of boring since he spends upwards of 15 minutes trying to get the demonstrations to work. He is the nicest professor I've ever had.

The exams are of medium difficulty, but his grading is fair. Many conceptual questions he discusses in class are on the exams (there are not just calculation questions).

This guy is really smart, but has a little trouble when it comes to teaching undergrad students. He assumes the class knows way to much and he cannot get the basic information across. Besides that, he is a very nice guy, hes fair, and is very open to opinion on his teaching methods and layout of the class.
