Reviews of professor William McNairy

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Unpopular opinion: not as bad as what I was expecting. I feel like his lectures helped explained certain confusing concepts that were in the textbook. I think that he started to care for our class at the end of the semester, as he would bring us snacks and other trinkets if we participated. Tests are weighed heavily. Use the textbook to study.

I have never made a RMP; however I remembered the reviews on here from when I was deciding which prof to take so I wanted to give a more accurate account. Dr. McNairy was very talkative but he also was extremely passionate and helped his students succeed. He often gave candy and other trinkets, showing how much he liked teaching. 9.1/10 prof.

Unprofessional, rude, and barely teaches anything worth leaning for either curious students about physics or people looking to pass. Better off taking online class as you would learn more from self study than lecture with this professor.

I managed to get an A only because of the hours I put into this class after school. He is rude, unprofessional, and unorganized, and his lectures often feature side tangents that aren't related to the material covered. He is very insulting (saying our algebra sucks on multiple occasions) and comes off as extremely condescending and mean.

Should've listened to everyone else on the website. Don't take this class if you want to learn. Most of class time was spent with him talking about anything but material. Tests and labs basically determine your entire grade. Took 5 weeks to get our first test back. Still didn't have my 3rd test by the final to know what I needed to pass. Horrible.

Super lenient with grading and you will get a lot of partial credit. Does like to yap a bit but if you find physics somewhat interesting, then it wont be a problem. if you pay attention in class you should be able to get a good grade fairly easily. Gives out candy and gadgets/toys throughout the semester.

A great professor knows his stuff. Will sometimes yap but only if he knows he has the time to. He keeps the lessons interesting and fun to listen to.

Do not take a course with this professor. During lectures he does not go over the material we learned nor does he teach anything that is helpful to the topic. When students ask questions, he explains things so poorly that they often leave more confused. Pop quizzes. Hard tests. Unclear labs. Most of the class leaves frustrated and confused.
