Fall 2020 - The professor explains things really well and does not over complicate the subject like other physics professors. I feel that I understood the concepts and mastered them greatly. The professor is generally accommodating and cares about his students learning and give reasonable exams and assignments. The HWs are similar to the exams and prepares you for them. His written notes during lctures are great and explains a lot, some of the quiz questions (we had 4 quizes, 9 HWs, and one final) actually came from eamples from the lecture notes. The quizes were not comulative and ually covers 4 lectures and their two HWs. He is pretty flexible with deadlines and would move them if needed. The textbookis not really needed for anything except finding the HW questions so if you have a way to get them then you should be fine without. My only complaint is againts the class material itslef, we cover topics from fluids to waves and then electricity which is pretty distracting. This is my first review at Bruinwalk (Currently a sophmore) becuase I never felt so compelled to review a professor (bad or good). Without a curve I would prob get an A-, with the curve I am not sure, lets hope that he uses a good one.

A good professor knows the material- but not very interesting to those who have taken AP Physics. The material will feel redundant. Tests are very similar to the homework-- he is VERY nit-picky on the homework- EXTREMELY picky- be sure to check it over well. Not good not bad--Lectures aren't super-vital-- doing practice problems is.
