Keep up with the homework written and online there''s a lot. Lecture isn''t mandatory except for iClickers but he goes over some homework problems and some of the test questions are straight from it. Always available to help in office hours and he responds really fast to emails. Ridiculous test curves in a good way occasional extra credit.
Horrible. Avoid at all cost. I received a decent grade but the work required was extremely rigorous. Expects you to know and memorize almost every single detail of every topic he goes through. Expect this to literally be one of the most difficult and worst classes you've taken at SB.
Do not take a class with him. He gave absolutely no context to his lecture topics, leaving everyone lost and unable to answer his questions. The incredibly high curve was a result of his lack of teaching. He gave way too much homework that didn't end up helping anyone learn the concepts - it was just extra tedious work. Worst teacher I've ever had
Extremely bad professor! AVOID him if you can! Way too much work, lectures are hard and useless, homework is way too much and hard, and his tests are impossible! He knows his stuff but he teaches as if we all had physics PhDs. One of the worst professor Ive ever had. Spent too much time in this class and learned nothing! AVOID!! AVOID!!
I felt completely lost in his class. He seems to really love physics, but he rushed through everything and expected too much from his students IMHO(written and online homework, reading cover to cover before class, making own formula sheets for all tests). I felt his exam questions were unpredictable and often outside the realm of the course.
AVOID him if you can! He expects WAY too much from students. HORRIBLE teacher.
