Reviews of professor Stephen Fahey

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Fahey is very kind and caring about his students but wouldn't take a class with him again. his test are extremely hard and don't follow homework. he will do his best to help but most of his lectures are just him reading off slides or spending an hour in breakout rooms for one problem. we were behind and didn't cover all the content. no study guides

Class was structured poorly, tests would be 5 chapters behind current lecture and reading. Always have lecture after taking exam. Brilliant man, I could listen to him all day - however he had a difficult time teaching physics conceptually which was the name of the course. Over 50% of class dropped, we ended with 7 students. 45% class exam avg

Engages the class the entire time. Is super passionate about physics so any sarcasm about physics is quickly corrected. Knows his stuff and tries to simplify complex topics into understandable analogies. Can come off hilarious if you understand the material a little bit.

This isn't the most difficult class I've taken, but it definitely required a lot more effort than I thought. Everything is okay, until it gets to the tests and end of the semester when he realizes we're several chapters behind. You can pass this class just by getting good grades on the homework, labs, and paper, but the tests are pretty difficult.
