Solid state physics class. Great at teaching the theoretical, but rarely ever ties the theory into the real world, so what you learn is near useless. Textbook used was almost never helpful. It was easy to find HW solutions online, however. Avoid unless you LOVE theoretical physics.Rate My Professors ↗
Avoid if you can. Better suited teaching at graduate level. Has a very loose grasp on our language which makes lectures largely incompressible. Generally impatient during office hours. Becomes easily agitated when it becomes clear we don't understand concepts. Thankfully posts lecture notes online, and solutions for hmk are easily found via google.Rate My Professors ↗
