Engaging lectures, great at explaining difficult topics and providing examples. Always clearly outlines expectations for exams and creates good study guides. Homework assignments are short and assigned once a week, are easily completed with the aid of notes and lecture slides. Has been incredibly gracious in adjusting his class to online learning.

I have never had a professor before Dr. Bernhardt that can make a 7pm lecture entertaining. Dr. Bernhardt challenges you while still making it very possible to get an A if you put in the time and effort. He provides all the resources you need to succeed on exams, and will boost your grade based on effort and recitation attendance. He's a gem.

Dr. Bernhardt is not only brilliant, he cares about his students. It is evident from his lectures how knowledgeable he is, and he is always willing to explain things in his office hours. Hes approachable, gives partial credit, and is funny enough to make up for the fact that the final went until 10pm. One of the best professors at UMaine.

I took PHY121 with Bernhardt and he was great. He was my favorite professor while i was up at UMO. He gave great lectures, was available after class, and make sure the TA's were doing what he was teaching. If you showed effort, you would get the grade you deserved, like going to class, doing hw, studying, labs, help. Otherwise, i would recommend

Each homework problem can be lengthy. Dr. Bernhardt will make sure that you understand the contents of the class. Before and after every lecture he holds a quick Q&A with students. He doesn't exactly care if you have the exact answer, only if you understand how to get there. He will show every equation and where he got the equation from.

I took both PHY 121 and 122 with Dr. Bernhardt, physics is a subject that can become complicated very quickly but he made the concepts easy to comprehend. He is a great professor and I always recommend him to anyone taking PHY 121 or 122. As long as you do the work and come to class it's an easy A. He is also very helpful during office hours!

He's a fun professor and knows the material well. He can explain things simply and gives students the opportunity to ask questions after the lecture. Works well in conjunction with the TA's; if you do the work you'll get the grade you deserve.

Dr. Bernhardt is honestly the best professor Ive had here, and my major isnt even in his department. If you take physics with him and put in some effort, guaranteed youll enjoy the class and learn a lot. If you have a choice between 121/22 and 111/12, choose him. I only wish he taught more classes, because I would take all of them!

For my physics 121 class I did not have Dr. Bernhardt and I was very confused for most of the semester. I took phy 122 with Dr. Bernhardt and I don't think that there was one time where I was confused or never fully understood something. He is a very fair test giver, and uses samples in lecture that resemble closely to the homework. Great teacher

Bernhardt was the first person to teach physics that let me understand what was going on. He gives hints in the Monday lectures on how to do the homework due each Friday and the TAs go over them in recitations. Gives students every opportunity to get the help they need to prepare for the tests and pass the class. Great professor.

Unlike other professors, Dr. Bernhardt knows how to grab your attention during lectures so you can stay engaged and really learn the concepts, which makes going to class worthwhile. He lets you know exactly what will be on the tests so you can prepare well for them, and the TAs are phenomenal! Just don't use your phone during the lectures.

Really one of the best professors at UMaine. Hilarious lectures, presents material clearly, lets you know exactly what to expect on tests/finals, good feedback on homework. Combined with recitation it's hard not to do well here.

The best physics professor, but you still need to work to get a good grade. Homework takes a while, but do it well and you will do well on tests as well.

I absolutely loved Professor Bernhardt. I took both phy 121 and phy 122, he was extremely helpful, clear, and entertaining. He is so knowledgable and will take the time to explain. Do not use your phone during his class, you will be called out and yelled at. Definitely attend all lectures, recitations, and labs, you just need to.
