Honestly, Hassold gets a really bad rap. You're going to be putting alot of TIME into his class, but not really alot of WORK. Take good notes, do the homework a few days early, and you'll be fine. on quizzes, which you will have multiple a week, he gives you very good credit for explaining your answers, even if you got it wrong

Comment:

Professor Hassold was a challenging professor for me, especially early on. However, if you make time to go to meet with him outside of class, he is immensely helpful. If I knew this coming in, I would have gotten a much better grade. But as it stands, his class the worst grade I got at Kettering. So if you struggle with him, GO ASK HIM FOR HELP.

I have had the displeasure of being in Prof. Hassholds class for 7 weeks. He thinks you should learn on the homework and on the quizzes. Meaning he purposefully introduces material on the weekly quizzes. A classmate asked him to explain how to do a problem the day after the quiz, and he just refused. Hasn't taught anything he has graded on.

Classes are mandatory, but have literally no relation whatsoever to homework and quizzes for the rest, in class he gives vague big picture explanations, but exclusively quizzes and tests on complex applications of math for the course, a typical (weekly) quiz will involve using 5 equations for 1 question (most of which he won't tell you even exist)

I don't recommend Hassold. Get a Chegg account & a TUTOR. Quizzes every day + hw. There is no time to learn the material . He shows you slides, but doesn't teach you how to do them until Friday. This professor is quite arrogant in office hours. I studied at least 10+ hours a week and am still barely passing. Save yourselves and switch out asap.

Let's be real. Everyday is a quiz, literally. I studied, used Tutor Me and went to office hours and still am barely passing. His notes are ok, but you could do a lot better. I suggest you get ready to stress out. It is a make it or break it class.

Simply put, no teaching here. Each (mandatory) class will vaguely cover the topics for the unit in the broadest of terms. But when you get to the homework "like charges attract" turns into a 10 step problem relying on formulas, equations that you have never used being put together in a way you have never seen. A way certainly not shown in class.

He seems like a nice guy who cares about your learning but he simply does not teach the class. It is up to you to learn the subject on your own. I was hoping to go through college without chegg but this class broke me.

He's not a great prof, if you want to do well on the unit quizzes you have to go to his office hours and read the textbook on your own. I recommend getting access to Chegg for the mastering physics

NOT WILLING to help students outside of class, generally UNPLEASANT and DEMEANING person to be around, thinks he is smarter than you and constantly reminds you of that, almost everything he says is hypocritical, DOES NOT EXPLAIN CONTENT, bombards you with graded assignments on content he hasn't explained yet, ACTIONS DO NOT REFLECT WORDS.

We get it Hassold you're smart and you have a PHD in physics. That doesn't mean he knows how to teach. And you would think that being a teacher would involve adapting to newer mindsets. Psych. Get ready to get your head bitten off if you mess up, and get ready to deal with a stubborn teacher who only cares about proving he's smarter than you. Ugh.

You do graded activities on things you haven't learned yet. He says he cares more about "understanding" than grades, but somehow there were over 2500 points in this class. Just reads the formulas off of the board. Have fun teaching yourself the entire class because he sure won't. Deserves to be teaching high school physics, not college physics.

Hassold is awful. He does NOT TEACH! The entire course is on blackboard, so when you get to the weekly quiz you have no idea what to do. Be prepared to try to teach yourself through your term with Hassold. Highly recommend staying away from Hassold if possible.

This guy should not be teaching. Not only does he make the whole entire structure a complete mess, but his style of teaching is overly complex and if you are learning this material for the first time you will have a rough time. So many small insignificant things are required to be done to succeed in this class. Just try not to get this guy...

Terrible professor. He rarely lectures and when he does they are confusing and overly complex. He gives a quiz every week and even if you get all the answers right on them you wont get credit unless you do it 'his way'. Worst of all is that whenever you try to make recommendations to make his class better he ignores you and does it his way.

Prof. Hassold is a very smart man who genuinely cares about his students learning, but most students don't like his teaching methods. The workload is high and he is extremely picky when grading. He makes you work for your understanding not for your grade. If you want a class where you can regurgitate information and equations then avoid Hassold.

Seriously though, Newtonian Mechanics is not hard, but you won't have a single clue what's going on. Avoid this prof at all costs. Very useless and does not drop the lowest quiz grade.

Lectures are useless. He quizzes extremely hard. He is honestly ridiculous and an awful professor. Never let this man teach in a institution again. He must like proving his "smartness "over his students.
