Comment:
One of the worst professors I've ever had in my life. He doesn't teach anything and assigns SO much homework. If you email him be prepared to have it thrown back into your face very rudely. Also, he doesn't give enough time for his tests and midterm. He only gave 90 minutes for a 60+ question final. DONT TAKE HIM!!!

Comment:
The work isn't too challenging but he is a terrible professor. He does not answer emails, he does not answer questions about homework and he grades super tough. Also, he will add an assignment in the middle of the week so you have to check Canvas everyday. He is very unprofessional. Most of the answers are online, that's the only way I passed.

Comment:
Professor Lapicki was rather hard to take as a PHYS professor especially online. Assignments were given in different locations so, you had to really look for your assignments. On top of that, the assignments were not the hardest to do but I taught myself most of the curriculum by videos across the internet. Assignments are due almost everyday.

Comment:
DO NOT TAKE LAPICKI! He is the worst professor I've ever had. Several of us complained to the department heads but we were basically told because he has tenure, there is nothing they can do. You can't hear him, his tests are impossible and he is absolutely rude! Take literally anyone else. He is brilliant but CAN NOT TEACH!

Comment:
He talks very low! No one could hear him the whole semester! Participation matters, especially the problem presentations and the in class partner assignments. He doesnt give any study guides and the hw is very hard. You can read the textbook but it has nothing to do with what he teaches because he goes all over the place! Would not recommend!

Comment:
Dr. Lapicki is easily the worst professor I have had at ECU. He does not make the material easy to Understand at all, he only explains things one way and never tries to help you understand. He has a bad temper and frequently yelled at the class and slammed things on the desk for no reason. He gets very impatient and mad when questions are asked.

He is the worst professor I have had at ECU. He is brilliant when it comes to physics but he is an awful teacher. He has a bad accent and he only mumbles so you cannot understand a word he says and if you ask for clarification he gets an attitude. The tests are very hard and he will not give you a study guide or any information about tests. Avoid

By far the worst prof I have ever had. He mumbles and doesnt teach. Never works out a problem. Is extremely rude when questions are asked or concepts are confusing. He has a weird grading method as well. He gives a lot of attitude at times. I would completely avoid this guy. You will not learn anything in his class, waste of time!

The bad: does not provide power points, can't hear or understand anything (and i sat in the 1st row), doesn't work through problems, not very helpful and gets an attitude. Worse teaching style i've encountered. If you like to sit and stare at a jumbled mess of a power point, take his class. The good: apparently he curves well but i dropped it

Comment:
The worst! Can't teach or speak. He mumbles at the board, and you cannot understand what he is saying due to the mumbling and accent. He also has a very confusing assignment and grading method. Does not post his powerpoints online, and goes very fast through them in class. I would completely avoid him!

He's a brilliant man however he's extremely soft spoken and you can't hear/ understand a single thing he says in lecture. He doesn't post any of his lecture powerpoints on blackboard & flys through them in class. However, although he was a pretty terrible lecturer, he has a very odd grading scale, I averaged a 68 on all my exams but ended with an A

Pretty terrible, cant hear him in lectures, doesnt post PowerPoints, tests are hard, rude in class when you ask questions, grading is super weird which actually helps but is confusing, makes you do pointless assignments, he is nice during office hours unlike in class. Just focus on doing work. Definitely avoid taking a class with him.

Lapicki is the kind of guy to get mad at you for asking a question. I would absolutly discourage anyone from taking his class. He mumbles every word with a heavy accent and is incredibly hard to hear. Good luck taking physics with him because it will take up half of your time that semester.

By far the worst professor I ever had he makes you write and watch pointless papers and videos only, fly's through the material, doesn't post powerpoints on blackboard, and ignore you if you have a question, and his test are impossible to pass, his weird grading is the only thing that will save you in his class and docks points for each miss class

He's really stressful but don't drop the class too soon. Came out with a B because of the weird ways he grades exams and did the final grade. Tests will be hard but focus on getting the best grades you can on the homework, quizzes, and in class stuff. Final wasn't too bad either. Go to tutoring but don't let him know.

So, yes, he was terrible. Probably the worst professor I've had in my undergrad. However, considering the few options of physics staff offered at ECU, I'd go with him over someone else with a low rating. He curves A LOT in the end (even if he says he won't). You have to work REALLY hard in his class. Oh, and he's rude.
