Skips his own office hours, lectures are worthless, does not communicate how he is grading exams, does not answer e-mail, exams are multiple choice (rediculous for physics)

Comment:
Great guy. But, this class was useless. Be prepared to be frustrated and teach yourself most of the material. He does, however allow you to correct your mistakes on exams for 1/3 credit. GOOD LUCK!

Comment:
nicest guy...dr rowan is genuinely interested in students doing well. that said, a lot of your progress will come from self-learning via textbook practice problems. pay attention in class and do the practice problems, and go to office hours; he's generally more helpful if you talk to him one on one.

Comment:
You must be very self-motivated to study and figure things out on your own. He doesn't assign homework so you have to find your own way to practice with the equations and the concepts. He's a nice old man, but isn't very clear sometimes.

The nicest guy in the world. Not the best lecturer, but a great guy to see, especially in office hours. He's a wonderful guy.

Comment:
Just pay attention to the lectures and you should be fine. Alot of his test questions are homework questions from the book with different numbers, so doing homework is a good thing but not mandatory. He lets you take notecards with equations on them on the later tests and gives you an A for the class if you get a high A on the final.

Comment:
This class is easy if you go and pay attention. That is harder to do because he wastes a lot of time on homework questions that could be handled at the help center. But he's a great old guy. No dropped tests but he lets you correct tests to get points back and earlier tests replace final sections.
