I took his class last spring. Before I started rating i thought he might be getting too much hatred, but I can't help rating 1 on every category. He gave us too little time for 1st midterm, but he made 2nd midterm and Final exam easy.(I got 100% on final) HW took too way long. It ate at least 10 hours each week, often a lot more than that.

He's no Eric Orsini, Eric Orsini is the man... You all should drop Corsini and find the Orsini experience!!

Eric Corsini is an affront to the profession of teaching. He made attendance mandatory (iClickers on Tues, quiz on Weds), was condescending, and spent several lectures failing to solve his own example problems. Administrative issues? He'll tell you to come to office hours and encourage others to ask questions so he doesn't have to help you. Awful.

Easily the worst teacher I have ever had. Basically paying a bunch of money to try and learn physics on your own. He will stare at the board trying to figure out his own problems, but hey, at least you and your pals will get a laugh when this guy tries to get control of the class, no respect for this "teacher." Ruined my quarter.

This was my first Physics class ever. He expected way more background knowledge than most of the students had. His lectures were confusing and he made a lot of mistakes. Review sessions were scattered and off topic. Tests were unfair and material he said wasn''t going to be on them was.

He's a really great guy and pushes you really hard. However, a lot of his procedures seem very excessive; they stress you out a lot more than they help you learn the material. Always go to the review sessions. Don't stress out too much about HW and quizzes, they are a very small percentage of the grade. Test taking skills are important on his exams

I sent him a private email and instead of responding to me he replied by sending the whole class an announcement. Homework assignments were due twice a week and were very time consuming. One of those professors who thinks his class is the only class you're taking.

Memorize how to do homework problems for the test. It's so much easier that way. You can use intuition to solve the test problems, but there isn't enough time considering the difficulty of the problems. TA's were absolutely useless, and their grading rubric for the tests were unforgiving since only final answers mattered. Nobody is exaggerating...

You can tell he loves physics,and that he really cares about his students. Yet he has unreasonably high expectations, which is aggravating because of his constant mistakes in lecture and on tests (he rounds weird). Class overall was doable, but first midterm wasn't. Most HW was just busy work. Don't panic if you do bad on 1st test,it gets easier.

First midterm was near impossible to do. Second midterm was completely fair. However, the final was the same as the first midterm in difficulty. He is a nice guy, but he does not know how to teach. He purposely makes the exams hard. Avoid him if you can.

Absolutely horrendous. Midterm 1 and final were impossible, mere guessing games. Midterm 2 was fair. Definitely do not take. I got a B+ in Physics 1 and a C- in this class.

The class wasn't easy, and Corsini was sometimes confusing, but he wasn't as bad as everyone makes him out to be. The reality is that most students in the class can't learn anything unless it's spoon-fed to them. It's a physics class, go learn to problem solve. Grow up. It's upsetting how people in that class could not learn on their own.
