PHYSICS 103
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
I second one of the reviews here; he truly cares that his students are doing well and understanding the material rather than just getting good grades. He is quick on Piazza, email, and accessible by Office Hours if you ever need help. He is extremely nice and makes physics easy. I would also take another physics course just to have him.

PHYSICS 103
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Dr. McNanna is genuinely the nicest professor I have ever had. He makes a somewhat challenging course relatively easy to understand. He cares about his students and wants them to succeed in his course. Physics is not my favorite science field, but I am not kidding, I would take another physics course just to have him as my professor.
