Reviews of professor Paul Emigh

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This professor has an overly complicated curriculum for his classes. He puts all of the learning and instruction onto the students and expects them to have a grasp of the chapter before the lecture starts. He wastes valuable lecture and lab time on studios and tophat questionaries.

Explain to me how someone could have a PHD in Physics Education but cannot teach physics to save his life. May I introduce you to Paul Emigh. His lack of knowledge in the area of physics becomes apparent when he spends most of his text book videos talking about his cat and avoids doing calculus at all costs. DO NOT TAKE HIM.

I have written so many reflections for Paul that I don't want to write another. But all I will say is that he runs the curriculum for the entire Physics 200 series so you will have to deal with him no matter what. Good luck.

I've seen this material before. If I hadn't it would be extremely confusing.90% of lecture is working through problems with other people. Real numerical answers are an afterthought. Studio is useless. I learned how to sit where the TA's can't talk to me and how to replace letters in an equation with more specific letters. Nice guy, textbook is free

It seems like Paul structures his classes to require minimal involvement on his part. His lectures are mostly spent on waiting for the class to answer multiple-choice questions on their phones through Tophat. For the class I had him in, this took up in some instances 20 minutes out of the 50 minutes allotted for lecture.
