His tests are tough but his lecture notes are well written and useful

Professor Dovbyna does a solid job at explaining the concepts of 7C. Sometimes his notes could be confusing, but there are some fun demos. Homework assignments are much more challenging than other classes, so be ready to spend a while and work with others. He makes up for the difficulty of the course by giving very comprehensive practice exams.

Great teacher, able to explain difficult concepts clearly. I wish we had more time for optics! the second part of the quarter was more fun than magnetism in the first. Writes his own homework and exam problems.

This class was horribly painful, but Anatoliy definitely pushed us to understand the content fully. HW/exams were really hard and often discouraging, but TAs are lifesavers. He provided us lots of study material, which I appreciate. He needs to have more office hours, since a lot of people could never go, but he was responsive to emails.

Tough but fair. He is a great lecturer, who makes you work hard but rewards your effort. Didn't use the evil mastering physics except for pre-lecture quizzes, which made homework challenging but overall more fun and connected to exams. Goes over homework problems in detail in office hours, which is very helpful. Posted a lot of practice exams.

He is a good lecturer and a pretty nice guy. I am just a little upset by how unnecessarily difficult the class turned out to be. Really hard homework. The average on the midterm and the final were both about 63%, he told us he might give us a huge curve but the actual curve was much lower than promised with only 26% of students getting A- or above.
