Hands down the best Professor I have ever had at UCLA. You won’t regret taking the class with him.

Professor Schriver made my first physics journey comfortable. All he does is goes over problems and on review days those problems he goes over JUST STUDY THOSE (and ones similar to them that he's gone over before or on homework) and you will pass. No matter how badly you think you did on his exams, especially the first one, your grade will someone come out to be great. At one point I thought he was grading exams based on completion bc of how lenient he was on grading. Do yourself a favor and take him and you won't regret it. This is the first review I have ever wrote about a professor bc it is literally a glitch in a system to take professor Schriver, a guaranteed A if you actually try to memorize the review day problems.

Schriver is literally the best professor you could have for Physics. He’s extremely caring, engaging, and just an overall wonderful person. His exams were also extremely fair— if you studied the problems given during class and the homework problems, it’s an easy A.

Getting a good grade in physics with Prof. Schriver is not difficult. His exams are easy because they are essentially book problems. His teaching method is very straight forward and his class rewards diligent (not necessarily smart) work.

Be warned that you may get out of the class with a good grade but not necessarily a good grasp of physics.

Worst class of the physics 6 series. A watered down physics class for premeds who suck at physics. I got an A but it was a total joke.

He made Physics 6C the easiest course of the series. I got a B- in 6A and a B+ in 6B, but I easily got an A with Schriver. His lectures were easy to follow and he would do practice problems in class so we understand how to use the equations, which I believe is the best way of learning. Weekly quizzes were given, which were very EASY points (one question straight from the homework he assigns). Study, or memorize, the homework for the week and you'll get the 10 points. Exams were easy too, but it did require a little more thinking than the homework. However, I probably studied more for the midterms and final than I should have, since his tests were so straightforward (no tricks, just concepts he taught in class or problems he handed out in homework). Take Physics 6C with Dr. Schriver, you won't regret it!

Sure.... he's easy..... but he grades based on a bell curve... yeah a BELL CURVE you idiots.

completely agree with the post below me.

A very, very, VERY small number of people who are posting reviews a YEAR after they took the class are legit. Who the **** decides to review their 6c professor from last year? nobody, that's who.

anyone defending those suspicious comments are either a) extremely gullible or b) the people who posted them originally

i'll reiterate: it is NOT A COINCIDENCE that Schriver's only negative review are coming the week of class sign-ups.

I don't know what kind of joke this is, but when I took Schriver he was not this easy... David was one tricky mofo and by far the worst professor I had at UCLA... Ended up with a B+... my only B in my pre reqs so far....

lol @ the dipsh!t who said Schriver doesn't teach well at all and that, if you take him for 6c, you won't be prepared for the MCAT. LOL...i hope nobody is stupid enough to fall for your tricks, you competitive assmuncher. physics on the MCAT is cake compared to anything you'll ever take in a college level class. if you take 6c with even the shittiest possible UCLA professor, you'd still be in okay shape for the MCAT.
