Reviews of professor Keith Bechtol

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He's very caring and encouraging. He's always open to questions and can explain a concept in multiple ways, which is always helpful. Also did a great job planning the course, gave us a good overview of the topics in modern physics and also got us familiar with python, which is used extensively in research. Take a class with him if you can!

Prof. Bechtol does an amazing job incorporating his own passion into his class. A lot of his research involves topics touched upon in the 249 curriculum and he gives the student an engaging intro cosmology and the numerical aspect of it. Would absolutely take him again.

Incredibly nice guy who is happy to help if you're struggling with an assignment. Explains complicated topics in ways that make them easier to understand.

Professor Bechtol is an amazing teacher that is very invested in his students. His lectures, while online, were very intuitive and easy to follow. Bechtol is also a very fun person to talk to during office hours. 10/10 would absolutely recommend him again

Keith was a great guy to talk to if I was ever struggling in the class. He explains topics well, and can explain complicated topics multiple ways if you struggle in lecture. Homework takes time, but is often the same as test problems, so its worth it to spend the time on it. Final Project instead of an exam was a godsend around finals week.

Super nice guy! If he ever messes up a problem in class, he always reaches out the whole class and fully explains it later. I think a lot of professors don't do that, but he is really specific and helpful!
