He is an extremely tough professor. He is so profound at physics to the point where he probably doesn't fathom that we don't understand everything immediately. He zooms through the material and diverges a lot from what the book says or the order that it's supposed to be in. He is pretty impatient and is not afraid to subliminally belittle you when you ask him a question in class. His midterms were OK but oftentimes he would not be clear on what he expects us to know. The final was tough and included like 2/6 problems we've never seen variations of. Says he curves the class, but he barely did.

Okay, here is the tea about professor Coroniti. If you don't like physics and don't want to look at professor Coroniti write a bunch of letters and numbers without context, please don't take him. Half the time he speaks like a muted flute and does not write down what the hell the problem is about. Don't get me wrong he is a very sweet person but not an adequate physics professor. His midterms and finals are difficult and no matter how many times you study every problem similar to the study guide he gives, he will throw a curveball. His midterm averages were so low they were rolling in their graves. I feel terrible saying this but I had to take him because I had no choice but if you could take someone else who at least makes the effort to give you some visual of the problem, please take them.

Physics doesn't come easy to me at all but I learned a lot in his class. His exams are hard, with the final being the hardest than any of the midterms. I recommend doing the problems on the study guide he gives! It's not identical to what he puts on his tests but if you understand them all you will definitely pass the exam or likely be above average.

Coroniti is very formula and derivations based. Lectures consist of hypothetical situations with only variables used, and simplifying/deriving equations are his form of "answers." His tests reflect this: you are given hypothetical situations with variables and you must rearrange the formulas to "prove" that a certain relationship exists between variables. However, if you can figure out how his tests work and strategize to get the most points, his class will be significantly easier. I got a 63 on the first midterm but a 97 on the second and A on the final because I strictly practiced deriving his formulas. He curves the class to a B average.
