PHYSICS 201
Quality 2/5Difficulty 3/5
He co-taught physics 201, and clearly lacked organization. Half of his lecture slides were still from 2004, and he went through slides and notes so quickly you couldn't write anything down and he wouldn't post them on canvas either. He's a fine professor, but the only reason this class went well was because of Josh.

PHYSICS 208
Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
Professor Dasu was an outstanding professor. He cares so much about physics and engaging his students in demos. The content of the course is challenging but it is manageable if you put the work in. I am very appreciative of Professor Dasu.

PHYSICS 208
Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
The class is hard, but Prof. Dasu was amazing. He was very caring whenever I talked to him in person, his lectures and explanations are very clear, and he is very knowledgable. He also wants to see his students succeed and will work with you on that. Exams are based on discussions and quizzes. Overall, a great guy.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
Not internally consistent with course policy, openly admits that homework topics will not be covered in class (but we still lose points for getting those wrong). Canvas course structured incredibly illogically. We weren't even able to see our in-progress grade for the class, so we had no way of knowing how we were doing.
