Reviews of professor Mackenzie Stetzer

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I prefer Stetzer over Farooq as an intro physics teacher. He is engaged with the classroom. PHY 121 was made easy due to some options for extra credit and the dependence on participation.

Very clear, concise, well-planned lectures. He never faltered and seemed quite knowledgeable in the material. Lecture attendance wouldn't be necessary if you weren't required to answer clicker questions for a sizable amount of your grade. Overall quite helpful and accessible.

Engaging by physics standards. Lectures had interactive questions and group work mixed in. Labs were usually easy and the writeups were short. Homework was only a few questions. Tests matched what we practiced in class. Fine class, good professor.

The class was very lecture-based. He is very monotone but easy to understand. He does a good enough job getting the concepts across but the class is not very engaging and is easy to zone out in.

Stetzer is a great physics professor. He explains topics very clearly and is very enthusiastic. Hes very caring and is very helpful outside of class and in office hours. There is a lot of participation expected and he scales exams since they were typically below average.

Really amazing prof who loves this subjects and cares about his students. Spends a lot of time having students answer and explain questions in lecture which only really benefits those students, not the rest of the class. However, he makes difficult material fairly easy to understand. Scales quizzes A LOT, lots of clicker questions in lecture

One of my favorite professors I've had in college. Doesn't overwhelm with work, has interesting lectures, and cares about his students. He took attendance credit via clicker questions, let us redo incorrect questions on exams for 1/2 the remaining points, and held super helpful exam review sessions.
