He is great!! Really trys to get everyone to understand. Online homework every week, but he will do 3-5 a week that the class is struggling on. Test are a lot easier than the homework. Every Friday before each test he goes over whats on the test and gives you what you will need to use for each problem!! DONT MISS THESE DAYS!!

I had trouble understanding him in lecture, he has an accent and phrases things a bit strange. The weight of assignments within the course was never clear, and he failed to respond to a single email of mine during the class. He boasted about being taken to student court and nothing happening. He seems like a cool guy, but not the best professor.

Comment:

Professor Hamdeh was a good professor who had realistic expectations. He allowed us to use notes or our textbooks during exams which was very helpful, and the final (which is difficult) was only worth 10% of our overall grade. He wants his students to do well, which made his class an easy-ish A, so long as youre willing to work.

Take Dr. Hamdeh if you want a chance at understanding and making a good grade at all in physics. Other professors at Wichita State are terrible. Hamdeh will actually teach you AND make sense. Will review before the test. Will also give extra credit when attendance is low.

Overall he is a really nice guy. Although his test can be hard, he does drop your lowest grade and says that he is going to give extra credit at the end of the semester.

Comment:

He has good knowledge about physic, but it really hard to follow him during lecture. He is totally against using phone during class, but often he used his phone more than us. Homeworks are easy. But you won't get enough time for tests, he will push you out of his class the moment the class ends or 1 or 2 mins max after that.

Comment:

Dr. Hamdeh is one of a kind, his laid-back character will be in your favor. Although he follows slides, he still adds his own flavor to the lecture. He does curves, drops your lowest test grade, and makes straight forward tests. HW is due every week, but he will usually do some for you in class. He cares for the students and responds to feedback.

Does not help- pushes you out of his office, often forgets he has a class to teach. Is clearly at the university for research.

I took physics over the summer and really enjoyed Hamdeh's class. He curved the tests and every Friday was a review day. If you came to class you got the benefit of asking questions and working through homework problems.

Comment:

I was expecting more after taking 213 with Hamdeh. This class has been exceptionally confusing and he has questions on his tests that have no right answer on the test. He has very little motivation to do even average with his teaching now. WSU neds to start over from scratch with physics, this department is abysmal.

Horrible teacher, only would write problems on the board. He doesn't teach, and wont help, he zooms out of class and is rarely in office hours but when he is he gets you out of the door as fast as possible. You find ways to easily pass but you wont learn anything. If able, avoid this teacher.

I learned nothing while taking Hamdeh's class. He's a good guy but I do not like his teaching style. I do not understand him very much and he always zooms out of class at the end. Provides extra credit opportunities though. Open book tests. I had a hard time learning physics from him and retaining the concepts. Does do curves on the tests and final

Funny guy who really knows his stuff and wants his students to do well. Always reminding everyone to relax and not stress. All exams but final are open book. Final is a bit brutal, but isn't worth alot of your grade. Willing to help if you try. Go to class, gives extra attendance pts at times. Meets you halfway if you try. Caring guy - take him. :)

6 week session. Short time lots of material. He worked hard to get ideas across clearly and if you put in the effort he did too. He does not like lazy and it will show in your final grade if you don't put in the effort. He meets you half-way and that's a good professor in my book.

He's a decent professor. Nothing great here, but nothing horrible either. He is sometimes very good at teaching, other times he is not. You need to read your book and do the homeworks or his tests will be very difficult. He allows open book and a formula sheet. He's the best of a bad to decent lot.
