"UCLA kids aren't even that smart. Second rate students that got rejected from Stanford and CAL. Always trying to find easy professors! hah! you guys are a joke!!!!!!!! "

lol why are you here then buddy?

One thing about those negative reviews that make them really skeptical is that the reviewers are offering Niemann and Gutperle as alternatives. What a coincidence? Both of them are teaching for the next quarter.

David Schriver must be some kind of sorcerer. With my mediocre midterm scores (MT1=85, avg=~88; MT2=84, avg=~85?) and after missing a week's worth of homework completely, I was fully prepared to accept a B/B-. Yet somehow this professor/enchanter transfigured my grade into an A!!!!!!!

mind=BLOWN

I took Physics 6C with Professor Schriver, and here's my honest opinion and some facts.

- Everyone can get an A. The curve will never hurt you.
- Go to the test bank. His midterms are pretty much exactly alike, quarter from quarter, so it's a guaranteed A. He may throw in one different question though.
- There is weekly homework on MasteringPhysics.
- He's super chill, he's straight forward, extremely easy to understand, and makes everything simple.
- Do the homework. Know the material. The midterms and final are the same level as homework type questions.

Drawback:
- he's not very authoritative, so sometimes it gets pretty loud. i dunno, it annoys me.

Take him. Do the work. Get an A. Be happy.

This class was pretty easy. Everyone knows it. I got 100 on both of my midterms with 2 days of studying before each one.
-Class is pointless because he just reviews equations with you. I never went and just learned how to do the homework to get an A+.
-Discussion is even more pointless, even though Julio was a homie.
-Review sessions before the test are crucial. Just go and you'll ace the test.

I ended up getting an A+ in the class. Take him.

Schriver honestly is the nicest and easiest professor you will get for 6C, hands down. He is also really nice and understanding - if you talk to him, he will listen to you and help you out. He is one of those professors who really do want kids to pass and excel in the class rather than limiting the amount of A's that he gives out, and he really does care about how you are doing in the class.

Julio is an amazing TA, he will answer all your questions and answers your e-mails well too. For lab TA, Brandon was pretty awesome.

With this said, make sure you go to the review session, and study the past midterms. His questions really are straightforward, and there aren't any "tricks" on his tests. You will definitely get an A in his class if you study, but you don't have to study every single night for it. Make sure to go to him for help if you have any questions!

Grade: A+

David Schriver is a gangster. He just rolls into class carrying his little bag and laptop and he writes down a couple equations on the board. Then he beasts through a bunch of examples that are pretty helpful, and does a 2 hour review right after, which he was applauded for. He knows how we all feel about physics and he always makes us laugh with his jokes (if something was pretty funny, he'd let out a single chuckle), and makes us smile by skipping nearly half the sections in each chapter.

This magician will walk into lecture with nothing but a tiny bag for his laptop, and then suddenly at the end of class he'll whip out all the midterms that we just took two days ago, graded.

It's pretty easy to get an A in this class if you study, he's incredibly fair. He's mysterious in how he does his grading distribution, but as he always said, "ya know, it'll work in your favor." And he was right. God bless this man, David Schriver.

The best professor to take physics with! Just do the online homework and go to the review sessions and you will do fine. The exams are very straightforward and similar to the homework questions. You also get a page of notes for each exam as well.

He does plenty of sample problems in class and pulls nothing tricky on exams. There wasn't really a curve to the class, since exam averages were high overall.

Schrive is the BEST physics professor I ever have at ucla. Not only are his lecutres straight-forward, but so are the midterms (he even put the same exact hw problem on the midterm during summer session!!!) plus, he really cares that his students learn so take the class with him if you can!

GREAT PROFESSOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He definitely made physics easy to understand. He's extremely organized and straight-forward. A really nice person too! :)
