Comment:
The grading policy is very lenient. I ended up with an A, but to be honest came away not really understanding physics. It seems like it's mostly equations being put on a board, with not enough attempt at helping students to really understand the material. Retakes on every quiz though, and participation counts for 20% of your grade.

This professor is simpling amazing, when he graded the homework. Every one get full score as long as you did it?And the exam is paragraph question which is easier than multiple choice?I think everyone can get A if you go to every class?You must take this professor if you need 21th century challenge requirement. Most important, he looks so cute.

Comment:
He is a pretty good professor - he did seem to go fast at times but it is really due to the way the course has been set up. He does a fairly good job with helping students to understand the necessary equations but he could definitely be more clear with some of his instructions. Takes clicker attendance so it is mandatory. Use old exams to study.

Greenhouse Effect: Not bad, since the midterm average was low he offered an extra credit paper for 25 points onto the midterm grade. Homeworks and iclicker questions made up a lot of the grade and were pretty easy. Interesting course material as well.

Comment:
I have this professor for Greenhouse Gases, sounds like an easy class? right? Well guess again, his midterm was 20 multiple choice questions,where the class average was a 64 .. he wouldnt cure the midterm. Hes hard to understand during lecture so he just keeps going. To much information crammed into one lecture. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASSS !!!!!

Comment:
He tells us to just accept what he's presenting without explaining why sometimes. Crams too much into lecture, with many mistakes in notes, and there is too much material. The problems we are required to know how to solve are given step by step instructions. Class seems to focus more on memorization than understanding concepts

He tries to fit too much into the lectures and usually goes over class time. The material is not clear, but that might be just that it's that hard! He's very likable.

Honestly, he is not a very good instructor in 273. I am straight A students who love phsycs (major in physics) and has 48 AP credits. Although I Aced his tests, I did not really understand a thing in full depths. I found myself memorizing things rather than understanding things. He is a cool guy though.

this class is so hard. the lectures are impossible, and so is the homework. Your only hope is to study with a whole bunch of your friends. He can't explain anything. He was enthusiastic about choosing this really unfriendly black and white book, which is impossible to read on your own. pick someone like kalekar if you value your grade/sanity.

Comment:
His helpfulness depends upon the day. He is enthusiastic about quantum but tends to go off on tangents beyond anyone in the class. When he stays on the level of the audience, he is good. Other lectures you might as well skip cuz you wont understand a THING. He once caught himself having spent an entire lecture describing equations in Calc. 5.

Relies too heavily on Powerpoint; gotta learn to do homework problems on your own. Exams not too hard and a hefty curve means not too many grades below a B in his class. Lectures really boring.
