Reviews of professor Vesal Dini

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
STOP ASSIGNING SO MUCH BUSY WORK. I just want to learn physics - I dont need the 5000000 persuall assignments, the reflections, the self assessment, the triple assessment of the self assessment, the essay questions. JUST STOP PLEASE. My poor GPA

People love to hate on Vesal but if you do the work you'll be good. Half the course is an automatic 100% and the rest is based on the quizzes, although they are a bit difficult. He also takes student feedback into consideration, and changed major points of concerns over the semester to accommodate most people's wishes.

All yall are so mean- everyone who is writing a terrible review is just mad because you are not used to doing the work to do well. Vesal is so nice, and his expectations are very clear. He is extremely accessible, and he really cares about physics. If you put in sufficient effort, do all the psets, and go to class, youll get an A.

While Vesal means well, his ability to effectively teach physics is terrible. The mandatory textbook readings where you must make comments and respond to others even if you fully understand the material make for an excruciating waste of time. Lectures suck too, as you only go over 1 or 2 abstract questions, then leave unsure of the right answer.

Vesal is super supportive, but he struggles to teach content clearly. The class is flipped learning, and the textbook and the videos are not a great source of content. Questions are confusing to the point where they confuse him sometimes. However, I can appreciate the emphasis on understanding, (2/3 credit to explanations on quizes) and group work.

For anyone that is taking this class as a premed for physics credit, this class is a horrible class to take. You are going to have to self-study for the physics portion of the MCAT because he does not teach applicable physics. He also goes over wrong answers for way too long which makes it a confusing and frustrating class.
