Reviews of professor Douglas Faust

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I thought this professor's lectures were clear, and he is pretty entertaining. He seems to understand the students and wants to help them as much as possible. Obviously, you are going to want to read the textbook to pass this class (just like any other class, duh). He uses mastering physics for homework. He seems to be a tough grader on exams.

Had Faust for PHYS1230 Lab. The labs were hard and super boring, but that wasn't his fault they just are. Grading was super harsh, not sure if it was him or TA's. Class average was obviously not good, and didn't curve. There was another section of the same lab taught by a different prof and they got curved...

Read the textbook, otherwise, it escalates quickly.

Really clear and dedicated teacher. All my other professors honestly kind of gave up when they realized theyd need to adapt for online but Dr Faust put together a class that was actually worth SU's high tuition. Always helped a lot when I asked for extensions and clarifications.
