Key questions
Is this an easy A?
An A is possible for strong self-studiers because some test problems repeat and curves exist, but most students describe hard exams and weak teaching.
All grade and effort evidence comes from in-person physics reviews, with no online reviews available.
Is the course easy?
Physics content becomes harder because lectures often fail to explain concepts clearly and students must rely on textbooks and labs.
Only in-person reviews discuss difficulty, and they consistently frame the class as self-taught and test-heavy.
Is attendance flexible?
Multiple reviews suggest lecture attendance is not very useful and one directly says attendance does not matter.
All attendance evidence is in person and suggests labs matter more than lectures.
Is this professor recommended?
Most students would not recommend him because they feel they learn little from lecture and must teach themselves.
Recommendation evidence is entirely in person and is mostly negative with a few self-study exceptions.
Course guide
Grading
Fair
48/100
Some reviews mention curves and improvement-based passing, but hard exams and tough grading keep leniency limited.
Format shift
All grading evidence is from in-person reviews.
Workload
Heavy
32/100
Students report test-heavy classes, textbook dependence, labs, and a need to do all homework to pass.
Format shift
Workload evidence comes only from in-person physics reviews.
Teaching experience
Poor
25/100
Most reviews say lectures are confusing, rushed, or useless, even though some students note he cares or tries to help.
Format shift
Teaching evidence is fully in person and strongly negative overall.
Assessment method
FocusOnExams
85/100
Reviews repeatedly emphasize tests, midterms, finals, labs, and homework, with exams carrying high risk.
Format shift
Assessment evidence is entirely from in-person reviews.

High confidence · Best fit for Self Taught Pro
In-person reviews are mostly negative, saying lectures are confusing and students often need to teach themselves.
Main concern
Students frequently report unclear explanations and hard, test-heavy grading.
What students said
“Hard to understand him and his tests are ridiculously hard.”
“Get ready to teach yourself.”
“Attendance doesnt matter. Just go to the lab.”

Exam style
Reviews describe hard, test-heavy in-person assessments, but do not clearly prove closed-book rules or special proctoring policies.
Assessment risk
Standard
42/100
Low score means less forgiving assessment conditions.
In-person reviews mention hard tests, midterms, a cumulative final, textbook-based questions, and curves, but not clear closed-book or proctoring rules.
“Hard to understand him and his tests are ridiculously hard.”
“His final is cumulative”
“He does curve the whole class one letter grade higher at the end.”
Student evidence
Top student voice
“Get ready to teach yourself, because he won't teach you.”
“You will spend more time trying to understand what the Professor is trying to say than actually learning Physics.”
“Hard to understand him and his tests are ridiculously hard.”
“He does curve the whole class one letter grade higher at the end.”
