Comment:
Having finished school, I can honestly say Mr. Karmon is the best teacher I have ever had. Ya, you definitely earned your grade (I took the class twice), but he will NEVER turn you away if you ask for help or want to learn more than the lesson plan. If you want a bar to measure all other teachers by, this class is it.

Ah Professor Karmon. What an emotional roller coaster this class was. At times, you will feel like cursing him. At other times,you will feel like praising him. But put in the hard work,and you will not only get the grade you deserve,but you will feel pride knowing you EARNED it. Amazing Professor. The best I have ever seen at the art of teaching.

He is the best teacher you will ever have. His teaching style is great and that he makes you do the class work is really amazing. You will build a solid foundation in Physics. People complain about him grading on how you organize your work, but they fail to understand the reason behind that. It is about being organized and following instructions.

Comment:
AMAZING teacher. I wish he taught other subjects. Students that dont like him is usually because they dont need his class. If you find the class slow and boring, it means you didnt need to take the 129 prep course and should go straight to 130. Grade is based approx 20-25% on classwork, homework, lab and tests. Highly recommended.

The workload you'll receive from Karmon will seem overwhelming at times, and his grading too strict, but Karmon is a wonderul Professor that I wouldn't hesitate to take again. He's helpful, he's funny, and the consequences of all the work he gives you is an A at the end of the semester. I succeeded in his class because he forced me to. Take him!

Don't bother. You'll learn it on your own or by taking 130. If you take it, keep it cool and do the endless problems that emphasize format and process forcing uniformity, and you'll do ok. If you have average ability you can do 80-90% of the homework without really thinking. Enjoy ;)

Professor Karmon will probably be one of the most memorable teachers you'll have. Despite his strict grading on homework (Lost 10% on one because I didn't circle the title!) he'll help you no matter what. In tests, he looks for process rather than numbers, so you can't fail a test unless you don't know what the heck you're doing.

WONDERFUL professor. Easily the best professor I've had so far at DVC. He's extremely helpful, and his lectures are generally entertaining and straightforward. Classes consist mostly of doing the types of problems that appear on the tests and homework. Lots of optional bonus work. Only complaint is the difficulty and annoyance of online quizzes.

My favorite professor at DVC! I didn't know anything about physics and he made learning it manageable and even enjoyable. He's very funny and somewhat sarcastic at times, but it made the class so much better. This class will takes TONS of effort if you want an A, but you WILL leave this class knowing how to do physics! Take him if given the chance!

Best professor I've ever had. He's very helpful and you can tell he really cares about his students. His class requires a lot of work but you can complete it in groups (including homework), and it's great practice for the exams. The classwork problems he gives are really good practice for the homework problems, so DO NOT miss class!

FANTASTIC teacher. Very clear, responds to emails quickly, easy to access for help, very rational, teaches with real world perspective. I wish he taught more classes at DVC. Tests are not the majority of the grade in class. Attendance not required, but if you miss a class, you'll be behind for sure. Very funny, enjoyable class.

Great teacher. Very clear, very helpful, great sense of humor. Always willing to meet you halfway if you have a problem and really cares about his students. Class is of average difficulty, but attendance is mandatory. I will definitely take his class again if possible

Extremely helpful teacher with a positive and encouraging attitude. Makes the class a bit fun, despite that the material is tedious at times. I will definitely take his class again if he is teaching the subsequent physics classes I need. He is one of the few teachers I've found who is willing to meet you half-way. Really enjoyed the class.

Had him for intro to physics and will definitely take him for physics 129. Always makes himself available to answer your questions and gets back to you quickly. He makes you think, and is encouraging and positive.

He is helpful but sometimes slow in answering questions. His quizzes are not really easy, but some questions are repeated from the homework (so study the homework well). You have plenty of chance to get a better grade by submitting bonus work. I have learned a lot from this course!

Great prof. Classwork everyday keeps you from slacking. Tons of bonus work, so no excuses for low grades. Labs are relevant to class. He will always help you if you have questions. He's a funny guy too, very likeable. Follow format on homework to get full credit. Tests are just like doing the homework. I would definitely take him again :)
