Reviews of professor Emil Rueckert

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This lab was alright. Just write your labs to completion and make them as professional as possible. He grades kind of hard on labs but its not impossible.. just put in some effort. His pop-quizzes are kind of hard mostly because its all conceptual questions. He is not very helpful when you ask for help but he's not the worst. Labs are confusing

He always clearly lectures before the lab. He gives a few quizzes throughout the semester, which are kinda hard. You can't really skip the lab, but it applies to all lab classes. Some people complain that he grades hard but tbh as long as you follow the directions you're good. He answers questions asked by emails. I actually liked his class a lot.

Professor Rueckert is an excellent lecturer who makes you really understand the lab. He is very passionate about physics, however, he structures the class, so that it really definitely doesn't feel like a 1 unit class. The lab report has to be very formal every time, and you definitely need to work to get an A on it. There are less demanding profs.

I just finished my semester with Professor Rueckert for 1510L, and I am glad to be taking his class again for 1520L. He has always been straight-to-the-point about his grading criteria for labs and has always been willing to answer questions. As long as you follow his directions, you will be set up for success in this course.

Hes a decent professor with a lab a week. He has a template which is easy to follow after a while. Grading is a tough and never got full credit for any lab reports

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
First off all of his quizzes are pop quizzes and hell never tell you what to focus studying for quizzes even when asked. They are also always conceptual and not always from the lab manual. He also talks down to students for not understanding and can be quite rude. He grades harshly for any tiny mistake.

He's not bad. He was helping during the labs. He lectures before the lab. For the online labs, he would answer the email questions. Lab reports are graded fairly, class average was like a B. The pop quizzes though were annoying, I agree. Conceptual, and he never stated what would be on the next quiz. Maybe not the easiest, but I think you'll learn.
