Fantastic professor who made physics genuinely engaging. He connects the material to students' interests and is clearly invested in everyone's success. He'll have a lasting impact on the students he teaches.1147 2026-04-24 13:19:14 +0000 UTC
I thought this class would be super hard, but you honestly don't even need that much Physics 1. He gives a lot of extra credit and teaches really well. If you actually put in effort, you're basically guaranteed an A. Also he is a very sweet and kind person, I would definitely retake this course if I had the opportunity to!1147 2025-12-12 18:03:23 +0000 UTC
Professor Alberto is the most amazing professor ever! He is so caring and considerate, reach out to him outside of classes if you have any issues. An A it is 92-100, 88-92 is A-, etc. Opportunities for Extra Credit in for all criterias. Gives take home quizzes, which has extra credit problems. For Final he gives extra 5 points for Trace.1147 2025-12-12 17:43:07 +0000 UTC

Such a kind professor who really just wants you to succeed. He's super responsive to emails, very flexible, and gives you everything you need to succeed in the class. As long as you put in effort, you'll get an A!1147 2024-12-10 19:53:01 +0000 UTC
One of the best professors I've had. He's so sweet, easily accessible outside of class, and so genuine. Gives so much extra credit it's truly hard to pass with lower than an A. Double sided cheat sheets allowed for the midterm(25%) and final(30%), take home quizzes that are open everything, and in class problems you have 24h to do.1147 2024-12-10 14:06:43 +0000 UTC
