One of the worst teachers I've ever had in approx 20 years of schooling. Unhelpful lectures filled unreadable and often WRONG board work . Weirdly combative when asked questions, giving perfunctory answers. Clear lack of effort into providing useful material or feedback. Outside of class; unreasonable and has no interest in student feedback.PHYS7316 2016-02-04 19:12:37 +0000 UTC
One of the worst professors I've ever had. He just spends every class deriving equations that we never use, and never explains what he's doing. Luckily the book is amazing!PHYS3602 2014-11-21 18:29:56 +0000 UTC
Horrible teacher, wouldn't answer any questions, just derived formulas on the board for an hour.PHYS1151 2009-12-08 01:31:41 +0000 UTC
This class was really boring to go to and the professor derived equations for most of the class. He's not a bad guy but the subject is really dry and he doesn't make it any more exciting.PHY154 2008-12-21 13:42:53 +0000 UTC
not a very good class. He doesnt teach very well and just derives all class sometimes wizzing past everyone. Learn in ILS and go to class to take the Clicker quizzes or just skip themPHYPHY2 2008-12-08 23:41:43 +0000 UTC
AVOID HIM, if you can!MECH531 2008-07-06 06:10:34 +0000 UTC
This guy is awful...i mean truely awful. Run if you can, and if you can't be prepared for the worst. On the up side theres a newspaper stand outside his class so at least you can have something to read, it helps take your mind off the fact that he is teaching.PHYSICS2 2006-01-10 11:58:53 +0000 UTC
Honestly terrible. I went to class for about 3 weeks then realized I could do literally anything else and be more productive. He simply derives formulas (ones that we don't even end up using) all class, but never stops to explain how he does it. Luckily, the book was excellent - I had to teach myself everything.PHYS3602 2013-11-20 14:26:32 +0000 UTC
Does NOT explain concepts. Just stands there and derives formulas for an hour. Basically have to teach yourself everything.PHYSICS2 2005-10-19 22:33:21 +0000 UTC
