Winter 2024 - As someone who extremely hate physics, this quarter is heretic for me but Troy really does his best and save me. I did a lot of work cuz yk physics sucks, it won’t be easy, you must devote time to doing. I finally get a A- which far beyond my expectation. Do not hesitate to choose Troy! He is very very fair

I took both 1B and 1C with carter, and I loved them. Topics are challenging but the way he teaches really helps you to understand the concepts. His office hours were really helpful as well if you are stuck on some homework problems. because of the material taught in 1b and 1c, the math can get a bit tricky at times but there wasn't anything that I hadn't seen before. in short, if you see him teaching, take him. you won't regret it.

He is a very good lecturer, very smart (he is a double maj in aero engineering and physics, summa cum laude in both degrees). He's caring but also intimidating. He expects you to work hard, and there are many requirements in his Physics 6A class, especially when he teams up with Dr. Wallny. His tests are pretty challenging. Please do all the work and you will benefit much from him and his class. I dropped his class (and aced 6A in the summer anyway), but also I was reminded that classes are like jobs; if you don't want to get fired or to fire yourself, you have to do the work. If the work is too much, don't put it on your plate; you'll end up not doing well. Take it sometime else.

I really hate physics, but taking 6C with Professor Carter was great. To do well, you do have to know the concepts, but the great thing is if you study the homework, the practice tests, and the concept tests, the exams will be a breeze. In addition to that, he really does care about student learning and is willing to modify the way he teaches. When I took the class, he tried out the internet homework program, WebAssign, and it was a pain in the butt at first, but it's actually much better than paper homework because everyone helps out everyone else. Take him if you can!!

Fall 2018 - Professor Carter is a really great lecturer. His gently midwestern accent will put you at ease and help you love the back half of griffiths. The class is pretty tough, but very manageable. He didn't cover waveguides in our class, instead spending more time discussing some neat plasma phenomena, and really going into depth on the special relativity section.
