Comment:
First C that I have received in College. His lectures are miserable and he takes clicker questions throughout the class so you can not skip a single day or your grade will suffer. His tests are nothing like study guide or his homework. I would avoid him at all costs.

Terrible professor. avoid taking at all costs. Will get mad and make fun of you if you do not understand something. better to not even ask him a question and just figure it out yourself. I'm sure he is super smart and seems to understand the material really well but has much difficulty explaining it to students

Comment:
He is rude to students that don't understand what he teaches. He tends digress A LOT about 15% of the lecture. I made a 99 in in Phys I but this class, the first test 75% of the class failed. His tests are only 5 questions so you really have to know it. Doesn't give partial credit. Homework heavy. Clicker attendance. Reads straight from the book.

Comment:
Dr. Dean has a simply designed class. He lectures for two hours, assigns two homework problems, and holds a test every month. The material is difficult but he is a decent lecturer; at this level the material is more of an obstacle than the professor. He is willing to help you out if you show an interest in his class.

In my three years at Southern, Dr. Dean is by far my least favorite and that is an understatement. I have met someone who can talk so much and be heard so little. He talks to his student with little to no respect. DO NOT TAKE

Ive never written a review on this site before, but I figured he deserved this. Dr. Dean is a good professor. If you go to class everyday, answer the very easy clicker questions, and do your Mastering Phys HW, you can easily get a B. Gives old exams to study, fair on grading, and you get a notecard front and back on tests. Id take Dr. Dean again.

Comment:
Do not take him if you want to pass. He goes off on tangents a lot and the lecture can be very hard to follow. He is also very unapproachable as a person in general. He talks down to you if you ask a question, even if it's a good question. I do not recommend him.

HARD. Our class was like 2 weeks ahead of all other classes...we went through everything so fast. If you enjoy teaching yourself AND going to class simply for supplemental review, this is your man.

This guy knows the material really well but is terrible at teaching it. He talks at you nonstop without helping you understand. Tests are tough and most people fail. I would ask for help and he did nothing for me. Do not take this guy!

The guy is smart as hell, but that doesn't mean he's a good prof. If you wanna teach yourself, take him. Tests are hard and only 5 questions & on multiple choice if you don't explain your answer well enough you will get 0 credit - even if its right. Talks about random off topic things all the time. MOST ridiculous professor I've had in my 4 years.

I have never actually signed up to write a review on a teacher but after reading all the comments and taking the class i HAD to set the record straight.You all are CRAZY Dr.Dean is literally the smartest guy ive ever met. Tests are easy(he gives past exams to study with),hw is easy(with help of Chegg),and he is an AMAZING teacher who loves his job.

PHYS2 was very easy. I suck at physics. He makes class structured like elementary school. first half of class he goes over stuff; second half he quizzes you over that stuff in form of "Clicker Questions". everything from clicker Q's to tests can be found on Google. he recycles Q's on old tests & study guides! Wish I knew this in the beginning! TAKE

SUPER ANNOYING! His lectures are extremely boring and he gets off topic at random times. Use google for everything: clicker questions, mast physics, practice exams.No sympathy for students, dont miss class, clickers are big part of grade! easy for good grade thanks to google.For test just write the summary pages for the chapters on your note card.

HORRIBLE! Only good thing is you can use google for hw/work book/clicker questions.to study for test write every equation for test and pray for the best. No creativity all stuff comes from online use google for everything. He also never shuts up. He will talk about random stuff when he isnt lecturing. You can also get negative grades on formal lab

This guy, i don't know what to say. Speaking of the devil, he yells at people unexpectedly and doesn't care about the class. You can't miss a class, because the clicker questions are worth alot of points. Everyone uses Google for masteringphysics because that is retarded as well. Everyone falls asleep and throwing papers across the room. AVOID HIM

I suggest avoiding this guy. Like one of the other ratings said, you WILL spend a lot of money of books that you really won't need. He is also rude, has a bad teaching style, his class is VERY boring (but mandatory because of clicker questions), and his class is hard. So in general, try to get somebody else.

Absolutely the worst class I have ever taken. The insane amount of money that his required materials cost, and I learned nothing. I had to teach myself everything from the book, which I have never had to do before. AVOID AVOID AVOID. Tests weren't terribly hard but the class is so boring that everyone is always asleep. Very rude guy!

He seems to have his good and bad days.Sometimes he's nice and sometimes when people ask questions he comes off a bit rude.I believe that I will make a B in this class.Clicker questions, workbooks &mastering physics?!? He gives nice study guides before each test and too much homework and labs.You will spend too much $ on his required materials
