Seems more concerned with his Masala boson research than the course.Rate My Professors ↗

He has an interesting way of presenting the lecture by talking to himself about the work involved. It gets confusing as he speaks, he faces away and it's quite difficult to understand.Rate My Professors ↗

I liked him a lot. He is a very good lecturer and explanations are generally crystal clear (even derivations). I really liked when he integrated course material into the research at the LHC (where he works). Lots of demos to keep students attention. Good experience, especially when compared to other physics profs.Rate My Professors ↗

I've had worse teachers, but this teacher just looks at the power points and reads off of them. He explains very little and pulls equations out of the air with out any clarification. I come prepared for classes (e. g readings) and yet I haven't learned anything applicable in this class. It has been a LARGE waste of time.Rate My Professors ↗

Bruce is the smoothest talking professor I have ever had, especially when it comes to a hard class. His tests are very tough, and you definitely need to be prepared for them. I would say Susan Coppersmith could definitely take a page out of his book...Rate My Professors ↗

His accent isn't bad. I don't think he cares a whole lot about the class, but his tests cover what he teaches and you do get a lot out of the class. I wouldn't mind having him again for a class. He tests what he teaches which is more than most physics profs here can say!Rate My Professors ↗
