PHYS12 . 7 Years Ago

Designs the class to be difficult. The class also requires iClicker, while offering you nearly nothing for attending. I may as well stay home and read the text instead of coming to class, but then my grade would have been affected. Dull, quiet, timid man. Did not enjoy

Most of the problems with Physics 2 had more to do with department policy than Dr. Wiener's teaching (the reverse-classroom approach is 100% asinine). That aside, Dr. Wiener's lectures were usually bland and not very valuable, though some of the demos were mildly helpful or interesting. Come for the iClicker points; hit the textbook to learn.

Subject matter is interesting but the class has the potential to be so much more interesting than it is. Section was kind of a waste of time. Didn't need to do reading. Written and online homework every single week and lecture has iclicker. If you are interested and competent at math then the class isn't hard, just a bit of work. Exams were curved.

There was no point in going to lectures. A sheet of printer paper has more personality than this man. It took him an hour to do approximately 5 example problems that are supposed to take us under 25 minutes. The entire class basically taught themselves Physics 2.
