Amazing lecturer! Seriously my favorite Professor Ive had so far, makes me glad I chose physics as a major and really makes you enjoy doing the work. This is my 3rd or 4th time taking mechanics, and I thought I knew just about everything to know, but Professor Stelzer really adds depth to the material that really enriches your understanding!

It's just my second semester, but Stelzer is definitely my favorite professor so far. He makes the lectures as engaging as possible, which in a world where many professors just drone on monotonously and make me zone out, is fantastic.

The class is a lot of work with no extra credit, it's very test heavy as well, but labs are almost free points if you're careful, and the practice tests are extremely helpful. Stelzer is one of the most kind and caring profs I've ever had, you can tell he really loves teaching and physics. Incredibly motivated to help, all around 10/10 human being.

He is awesome, very chill dude and teaches his lectures in the funniest ways. Effective but the class itself is fast-paced, so you have to keep up outside of lecture. He gives you good opportunities to do well but it's really up to the student to stay focused.

Tim Stelzer is an absolute physics unit. He did amazing lectures this year over zoom (covid time) and seems to really enjoy what he does. Prerecorded experiments and overall I had a really good experience in his class.

Dr. Stelzer is an amazing lecturer. I took this class during COVID and even with the lectures being all online he and his team worked really hard to encourage participation and to assure that we had the tools needed to succeed. We would regularly fill out surveys as to how the course was going and changes were made to make the climate better.

He is passionate about physics, and sharing his knowledge to his students. He is always open to answering questions and is genuinely interested in his students' success. He wants you to do well. The course is pretty hard to get an A, but he makes it interesting.

Prof. Stelzer's a real G. He's extremely motivating and caring, knows his material, and an all-round nice guy. And funny. Would definitely want him to teach me physics for the better part of 4 years here.

Stelzer is a great professor whose lectures are a joy to attend due to his in-depth knowledge and light-hearted humor. Stelzer answers each and every question he receives with enthusiasm and respect. When classes moved online due to COVID-19, Stelzer made sure to take time out of lecture to give us much needed encouragement and support. Solid dude.

Probably one of the best professors at this university. He cares a lot, his grading is clear, his lectures are entertaining. His classes are not the easiest, but if you put the work in, you should be able to get an A.
