Physics is pretty challenging but I really loved getting better at problem solving. Labs were virtual due to Covid but they were fun. Igor was good about letting you rewrite reports after some feedback to get full credit. He is friendly and funny and will spend a lot of time with you outside of class if you need it. Not easy, but great experience.

If you like science and discussions, this class may be for you. The exams are a little tricky but the grading is generous. Consistent routine, including articles, journals, and a fun stargazing assignment. Igor is very encouraging and super responsive, often within minutes. He loves asking questions, so be ready to do some research. Fun ride!

This is one of the most arduous classes I've ever taken at Highline. But the professor is very energetic, encourages and a solid, good teacher to get you over Physics. Although he will give a lot of stuff outside class materials like writing journals and articles or group projects (this is up to your group members), he's very chill at grading.

I thought about dropping this class because it was so much harder than what I remembered from high school, but Prof. Igor was very encouraging and spent lots of time with me on zoom so I pushed through. Glad I did. I learned a lot and picked up some more confidence in physics. Overall, good energy, friendly and fun environment, and great teacher.

Covid made things tough on my mental health but I really enjoyed the amazing community in this class. Everyone was helpful and shared interesting stuff in various discussions. Loved being a part of this family. Igor is a great communicator and pushes students to think. Many topics required some research, but it was super fun. I'm still stargazing!

Physics was very tough ngl. My head was spinning after a while. But the examples in class were very helpful and Igor was nice enough to spend a lot of time with me on zoom outside of class. I loved that we had multiple submissions on the hw and exams. He also let us correct some assignments to improve our grade. Journals were great for venting.

Professor Igor was always involved and supportive and I really appreciated the emphasis on participation and big picture rather than tedious details and memorization. The course layout was pretty simple--same to-do list and due date every week. Stargazing and articles were really fun and I found the journals to be good therapy.

My friends recommended this class and I'm glad I listened. It has an easy to follow weekly to-do list and I loved the freedom to explore various topics and engage in lots of fun discussions. Professor Igor always responded very quickly and I was able to zoom with him whenever I needed help with anything. Amazing sense of community! Will miss it.

Pro. Igor is very unprofessional & condescending. Idk where these reviews came from but believe me, he gives an UNREASONABLE amount of work, his quizzes are more like mid-terms, his modules are disorganized, he calls procrastinators losers & he explicitly conveyed he thinks your a baby if you have excuses. I highly advise you NOT to take his class

Physics can be tough but prof igor was great. He always tries hard to get everyone involved, responds very quickly to email or in forum, and spends a lot of time with you if you reach out for help. His good sense of humor also helps. The book was so-so but it was free (OpenStax). Lots of good practice on webassign and the prof gave some nice vids.

I wish I had more time to devote to the class, but the pandemic made things very difficult for me. Igor was super understanding though and let me make some of the work with a project. Lots of fun discussions, amazing community, cool topics. If you don't like science, you might change your mind after this class. Grading was very fair.

I don't normally get excited about science classes, but I ended up loving this class and actually feel a lot more confident about science now that it's over. Calendar has all the assignments and due dates. Igor is very friendly and responsive, gives great tips, asks challenging questions, and is always very involved. Zoom was also fun for q&a/OH.

I had some personal issues when taking the class, but Igor was very understanding and helped me push through. The class itself is heavy on discussion and participation and you get the freedom to explore many topics. Exams are not easy but do not drag the grade down too much, as long as you work hard and contribute. Great college experience!

I took Prof. Igor's class about a year ago and appreciate it even more now that I'm at the U. Physics is very challenging but he made the class environment feel like a family with his sense of humor and effort to get everyone involved. His 'reason, don't memorize' approach was great. He was also very generous with his time outside of class.

I had some trouble staying focused during the pandemic but Professor Glozman was always very understanding and encouraging. There is something for everyone--science articles, stargazing, general discussion. I learned a lot of science and it was fun. Participation is a big part of the grade, which forces you to be active. Great class!!!

I've always struggled with science but Igor made the class more about exposure, thinking, and discussion than about memorization of meaningless details. Grading was a bit different, based on a poor-good-excellent scale rather than on point arithmetic. This seemed strange at first but I actually ended up working harder and being less stressed. 3/3!

Although there were a lot of topics, there was no need to memorize anything. Igor always stresses big ideas, basic research, and discussion. Exams were based on the hw quizzes and emphasis was always on participation. The grade calculator was very helpful to stay on track and grading is mostly on completion. Fun, low stress, and lots of learning.

Astronomy is cool to start with, but my favorite part was feeling like I was part of a community of peers willing to discuss various topics 24/7. Everyone seemed helpful and Igor was always very responsive. There are chapter quizzes and a couple of exams, but the grade is completely in your hands if you're willing to participate. Enjoyed it!!!

I had a very slow start but Prof Igor was very encouraging and gave me opportunities to catch up. The grading system is very generous as long as you make an effort to participate and contribute to discussions. My time management skills definitely improved and I became more confident sharing my opinion with peers. It was a fun learning experience.

No clear due dates. None of the homework says how many points it's worth. None of the assignments are marked, so they don't show up in the calendar. The syllabus is dated. Modules start in the middle of a week. Nothing is organized. Trust me, save yourself some stress and do not take his class.
