You seriously have to learn the material yourself. Weekly quizzes are a pain. And the midterm and final was way harder then expected.

Didn't teach the material. She only went over example problems. We were expected to learn the material ourselves. The number of hw assignments was insane, especially since it was only 10%. Quizzes were fine. Midterm was easy. Final was WAY harder with material that wasn't on quizzes & she barely curved it. I went from an A+ to a B+ because of final

He has both online and in-class lectures which are moderately clear, though he can be boring at times. He has iclicker questions which mainly focus on concepts. He assigns a moderate amount of homework, some of which can be quite difficult. His tests are extremely difficult and he has a pre-set curve. He seems willing to help.

Professor Karmis teaches physics in a way that's understandable to students who don't necessarily excel in this subject. With that being said, the course is still fairly challenging. If you do all the homework and understand what's happening in lecture you'll definitely do well in the class, but it is still physics and exams will still be difficult

Really kind professor that wants his students to learn. The final and midterm were pretty tricky for me, but I'm not the smartest person out there. Everyone else in the class I talked to did fine.

Finally an amazing Physics professor! Dr. Karmis is very patient in lecture, and he explains each step to ensure understanding. Unlike other Physic professors, he TEACHES in class. He truly wants his students to do well in the class. Best professor ever!

Karmis is honestly the best. He's so chill, wears the coolest watch, and is always, always, always willing to help you. He really wants what's best for his students and is SO NICE and smart. He answers so many questions and doesn't mind taking time out of class to do so. (Because he wants you to understand). :) Karmis rocks!

I have absolutely no interest in physics whatsoever, but Karmis made the class rather enjoyable with numerous demos and an upbeat attitude. He's very receptive to opinions of how his class should be run, and he is always trying to find new ways to help us learn. His tests are fair. Definitely a good teacher.

Professor Karmis is a brilliant teacher who really wants you to succeed. He's funny and quirky but teaches in a concise way. The course is hard but physics in general is hard but Karmis makes it fun and interesting. An excellent professor overall.

Really nice guy but not a great teacher. Lectures were hard to pay attention in and I never really understood his explanations to problems. He only focused on concepts and expected you to learn the math on your own. Definitely struggled through the class.

Karmis is such a great professor. I attended office hours almost every week, and that made a HUGE difference. He is very approachable and that really helps.He does his best to be available for questions, and he is very enthusiastic about the subject. He helped me ALOT with all the questions I had. I am glad I enrolled in his class.

Very Helpful. He really wants his students to do well. Go to class because he uses iClicker points as extra credit which was a huge grade boost.
