Reviews of professor Murray Silverstone

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This might be the worst class I've taken in my life. As a student who has never taken a physics class before, I expected a nice, semi difficult entry to physics. Murray Silverstone has now ruined physics for me. There is at least 8 hours of outside work PER WEEK, and he uses in class questions on topics you learn that day. Never take his class.

This professor is incredibly hard. His attendance is mandatory through in-class questions that are almost impossible half the time. He also gives out so much homework it takes me 3 hours every night to finish one item. As for his tests, they are impossible as well. You have to show every step of work for every question or he will give 0 credit.

For an intro physics class, I was miserable the entire time. In order to get a good grade, you need to spend 8+ hours per week on your assignments. The class is mostly self taught, and in class participation is based on how many questions you get right based on the reading you did the night before. The workload is so heavy.

Genuinely the worst professor/teacher I've ever had. Will assign an hour of reading along with 2 hours of homework in the same night that is due 2 days from then. You have to teach yourself the curriculum and will ask questions (grades on accuracy) in the middle of class and then teach you how to do it after the question is graded. He's horrible.

This guy is the worst. Not only is there 7+ hours of homework assigned every week but he also requires pre-lecture assignments before every single class. I wasted more time on this entry level class than all of my other classes combined. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

It's a rough course, and 105 really just is not fun at all, I think he tries his best, I feel bad for the guy, but there is a literal boat load of material each week. You'll need to spend the hours he suggests. You'll pretty much need to go to every class. I wish there was more time for the labs, but there isn't. email him, he will reply. tests ok.

I made an account just to rate him, and I got an A in the class. He claims that in order to succeed you should ask questions; ask the TAs instead because it is obvious that he thinks your questions are dumb. He says you get 3 absences, but if there are other in-class assignments for those absences (labs/ worksheets) those won't be dropped.
