Comment:
Average prof. Even though this is a lab course, he should put in a bit more effort in clarifying concepts and explaining what is expected for reports, and that would help reduce the number of hours we spent on reports. The course was worth 3 credits, but took about 6 credits of work. He knows his stuff, but left the course pretty much up to the TA.

Comment:
He has a thick accent that I sometimes had troubles deciphering. He will spend a lot of the class time deriving equations that are used in statistical analysis but you don't actually need to know these derivations for any purpose of the class. Textbook was rarely used. Labs are fun but the lab manual is poorly written, frustrating and confusing.

Comment:
I have to admit he is a good prof. His problem is that he doesn't have any office hours, so he is useles. If you go to his office and he is there, he tells you to go see the TA. Other than that, he is good

Comment:
Isaac used various tools to keep people awake during his class. he passes out electronic clickers to everyone and polls answers on the overhead.. fun. i thought his exams were tough. he said all formulas would be on a given sheet, and most weren't. no assignments in his phys 146. overall the class was a 'meh'.

Comment:
Isaac definately makes an effort to keep you interested in his lectures, with "Who Wants to be a Millionare" types of games that encourages class participation. There was not an efficient use of class time, do not worry if you are late, and he spent way too much time on the derivation of incorrect formulas, so the correct one is easy to forget.

Very good prof. Definitely knows his stuff, very easy to understand and learn from. Tests are challenging but fair. Final is easier than the mid-term. Unique sense of humour too - very 'random'.

Great prof, Good exams. I just wish the textbook wasn't university physics. Most useless piece of garbage I've ever used.

He was reputed to be good, and certainly didn't disappoint; even for 8 am lectures. Sure, I doze off lots; but when I pay attention, I learn lots.

Comment:
He's a good prof and knows what he's talking about, but he tends to rush through and not explain a lot of things. Also needs to bring his class under control faster. It took 3 months before he told the idiots in the back to shut up.

Not bad. Weekly quizzes force you to keep on top of things. Fairly easy final exam.
