Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Some students earned A grades, but comments show high effort, strict grading, unclear expectations, and poor grade payoff.
All evidence comes from in-person lab reviews; there are no online reviews.
Is the course easy?
Physics labs are made harder by unclear instructions, unrealistic deadlines, and tests or finals students say are poorly designed.
All difficulty evidence comes from in-person reviews.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance rules vary by review, but many students mark attendance as mandatory and link performance to lab participation.
Only in-person reviews exist, and attendance evidence is mixed but often strict.
Is this professor recommended?
Most students advise against taking him because they describe poor explanations, harsh grading, and stressful labs.
Recommendation evidence comes only from in-person reviews.
