Quarter: Fall 2017
Grade: DR
April 25, 2018

Do not take this class with this professor even if it's your last option. His exams are inexplicably difficult, and I would say to the point of impossible. Many students consistently complained about his exams failing to mirror what was taught during lecture, which, by the way, was a nightmare in and of itself. This professor cannot make the material accessible to students if his life depended on it. He's a genius in his profession, but he simply isn't able to relay this information in a student-friendly manner. Please, do yourselves a favor, and avoid this professor at all costs. Both I and a friend dropped this class week 9. We were utterly destroyed even considering both of us had taken AP Physics (Mechanics) during high school. Wrap.

The class is hard especially if you do not have physics background but if you do attend office hours he is much more clear than in class. He cares about his students but does sometimes fail to gauge his class but honestly one of my favorite professors for his willingness to help and his generosity.
