This professor is so bad that after seeing that he was the only prof for the next course required for my physics major, I dropped the major. He was the least professional and rudest teacher or person I've ever had the displeasure of listening to. Unwilling to help students in any capacity, and exams that seemingly aim to make students fail. Avoid.Rate My Professors ↗
Never have I ever had a more disrespectful professor. For example: someone asked a (very reasonable) question and he responded with, and I quote, "you must be joking," before answering it in a sarcastic manner. A few lectures after, he disabled the chat and mic functions for students so we couldn't ask questions. Such a hostile man, and for what?
terrible professor and he is mean. take it with pan 100%Rate My Professors ↗
In all seriousness, he does not seem to care about his students. Lectures were taught online and he disabled students ability to ask questions about material as he presented it in lecture. His exams were "more difficult than anything offered in past physics 202 classes" according the the TA's. If you get his class, drop and take it another semester
This man will make you hate physics more than you already do. Avoid him like your life depends on it.Rate My Professors ↗
Has been rude to students who ask questions in class on multiple occasions, lectures are dry, poor transition to online learningRate My Professors ↗
