To put it simply, Dr.B just wants you to learn the stuff while still having fun. He records his lectures by bulk just to accomodate those that might not make it to the sessions. He actively tries to engage with us, cracks jokes, and thanks us when we point out errors or confusion notations on the board. Best part? He is having fun teaching us too.

funny guy and easy class

Very funny and energetic man. He covers a lot of material in a short amount of time, but it is still understandable.

I love that he wants people to ask questions no matter how "stupid" you think the question may be. He just wants students to engage and enjoy how awesome math and physics are which I think makes his lectures very fun. He creates a very comfortable learning environment.

He is the goat. I had him for a few other classes (PHYS8, INT86VW), and he always ensured he knew what he was talking about, unlike other professors. He can always provide a good answer to your question, and he encourages you to ask questions. He also gives good academic advice and will help you steer in the right direction.

he loves calling satisfying equations “cute”

Physics CS34 is the CCS lower division E&M course. I legit don't understand who needs to check Dr.B's rating at this point, but here we go: FANTASTIC professor, make 200% effort to make sure to get the course content. Just take his classes, go to his office hours and have a fun chat with him!

Hands down the greatest math class I have ever taken. Office hours are amazing, he explains topics in many different ways, and he cooperates extremely closely with his TAs and LAs to ensure that the students' needs are met. Tests and quizzes are typically his easiest assignments. He wants you to succeed, and he is extremely enthusiastic. Take him!!

AMAZING professor that you CANNOT miss in UCSB. Very clear in lecture, very helpful in homework and exams. Also he is caring about students and gives many directions in physics career. The world best professor from my view.

he is a good professor, can be a little difficult in a six week course

INT 84AT is, on paper, Dr. B's blackbody radiation seminar; but it's actually a full-blown thermodynamics introductory course. The course is fantastic and also quite difficult for me, but as with all other Dr. B seminar courses, there is nothing a couple of all-nighters can't solve. Grade: A+.

Physics CS5 is a P/NP CCS lower-div QM introductory course. He is the supervisor and the actual lecturer is Mr. Simon Blanch, a junior physics major. The whole course is fantastic, like all previous courses I took with him. Credit needs to go to Simon too, but since he is not a prof, I'll express my gratitude here instead. Thank (both of) you!
