The decision

if you want a supportive physics professor who curves and rewards engagement despite hard material.

Best fit · Effort For RewardCaring Physics ProfStrong CurveExtra Credit HelperTest HeavyLong Lectures
  • Physics content is hard, but students say he cares and will help you succeed.
  • Curves, participation boosts, and late-term extra credit improve grade outcomes.
  • Lecture materials can be messy or long, so self-management still matters.
