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
