PHYS22 . Caratelli D 5 Months Ago

Prof. Caretelli's is, in my opinion, a "MID" professor but in a good way. His PHYS 22 is standard, nothing extraordinary, but is solid and well-explained. Midterms and Final are somewhat hard but a huge curve is applied. Most other people I know of loves his class as well. Grade: A.

pretty good professor for Phys 22. Pretty rough class however Carateli is a good professor who is pretty reasonable.

For Phys 22, his class was very reasonable but he does have a very very tough final. Phys 21 was a good first course in Physics but his 22 class is definitely much tougher. Still great prof.

Good professor, solid lectures, and homework seems to be reflective of exams. Be prepare to study quite hard but his tests are very fair and reasonable. Very accessible for office hours so ask if you have any concerns about topics. Best part is that he really cares about quality of teaching so he is here for the students which is epic.

I took PHYS21. Professor Caratelli has great lectures and he doesn't waste any minutes on tangential topics. While some HW problems can be challenging, they help me to articulate and understand the material. His tests are fair and similar to the problems he went through during class.

A relatively good professor, little middle of the road. He can certainly have very good lectures, however on occasion goes through concepts a little fast and can some times fail to emphasize certain ideas. However overall an amazing professor, and I would highly recommend.

Great lectures and homework helps a lot, especially with its difficulty. Some tests could be very difficult, some could be easy, study hard and you'll be fine.

Generous grader. Great lectures but to get good grades u have to solve more problems and understand them.

Exams are not quite similar to homework. The past exams problems are not similar to the real exams. The lecture content is detailed, and he explained knowledge very clearly. But again, they cannot directly help you solve the homework problem. You need to think a lot on it or go to TA's or professor's office hours.
