The worst professor I've ever had. His lectures are totally incoherent and unrelated to what is on the test. I took this as an easy Group D and resented every minute of it.

Prof. Shipman is a great guy but a horrible professor. He goes off on tangents about things that have nothing to do with the topic. Textbooks are pointless. The bright side is that tests are easy and don't require a lot of studying.

Comment:
Harry Shipman was genuinely a terrible professor. He completely skipped essentially all the material he was supposed to teach to prepare us for Phys 208. Once I was in 208 I realized that he literally did not teach us basic Physics concepts or notation we needed to know for future Physics classes. We learned almost nothing the entire semester.

This class is a joke. Great GPA booster. It really doesn't matter if you read or not, as long as you pay attention to most of his lectures you'll be okay. He does give extra credit, but chances are you won't need it; even if you think you do.

The legend Shipman. Probably the greatest teacher ever to live. His class is impossible to fail. He is hilarious to watch run around the classroom and he cares about all his students. Take with friends and have a good time.

He is the MAN. This is literally the easiest class i have ever taken including middle and high school classes. Everyday you take a max to 1 page of notes. He is so funny, even though he tends to like girls alot more than guys. He runs around the class room and demonstrates using students. if you dont get at least an a- ur a moron, drop outta school

Harry Shipman is a legend. Anyone who doesn't find this class entertaining doesn't have a sense of humor. Who cares if you don't learn anything, for simply showing up every class you get a comedy routine and an A if your halfway smart. Take this class.

Just don't sign up for it. I was honestly very interested going in... coming out I learned nothing. He spends more time telling us what we did yesterday (which was nothing) and what we are going to do ( again nothing except go over the list of what we are going to do again). He's a very nice man, just needs to actually teach.

if he wants the make the class as dumb as he does, it should not be mandatory. this way, if you do not like to be brought down to a 3 year old level, and already know the 1st grade level material you do not have to attend the class

Shipman is awesome. He really loves his profession and what he teaches. He's a real astronomer. He's fun and makes the class understandable for everyone, even people who aren't really into science. He also talks a lot about the ice skating that he does. Overall a great teacher!!!

BORING. Class is taught at the elementary school level. Since he likes that level so much, maybe he should go back and teach there.

He was definately the most entertaining professor I've had so far in college. He is one of the sweetest men I have ever met and is always willing to help his students if they take the time to ask. It's easy to get him to go off on tangents, and if you ask, he'll show you his ice-skating videos. He's great....easy B, at least.

I had him this semester, and the class was terrible, I mean, I understand that it is a 100 level class, but shouldn't we actually be taught something. Or if he really wants to make the tests that difficult, then he really should learn how to teach at that level.

Comment:
Harry is completely entertaining, but he should be teaching elementary to middle school instead of college. All you do is group work, have assigned groups and seats- doesn't take attendance but you have to sign to get credit for group work and thats where participation comes from. You won't learn anything & will have no desire to go to the class.
