Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He does a decent job teaching and the class is well laid out.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He cares a lot but the tests are near impossible to do decent on. Average grade on a test was an F, and no curve. Lecture is important to go to and tutoring is almost 100% needed

Adam is a pretty decent teacher. He really wants to make sure you understand the material and gives you a ton of resources. He does give you weekly homework assignments that can be pretty long, but other than that it's not bad. Be sure you study for the midterms because they are more challenging than you think.

Dr. Pearlstein is a great choice for physics. Given physics can be daunting, he sets up many opportunities to meet with him and his TAs for help (the homework sessions are extremely useful). He allows written note/equation sheets on exams. Overall, his teaching style is fun, the slides he makes are very useful, and he wants to see you succeed.

Adam was a great teacher, he was very quick to respond to emails no matter the time of day or day of week, he makes classes engaging and entertaining with demonstrations. He is available more often than any of my other teachers have been for asking questions about homework, labs and anything you may be struggling with in class.

He makes everything super easy to understand and is really good at answering questions and explaining everything well. You have homework due once a week but its not long or very hard and there is assigned reading but its not really necessary since he goes over everything in the reading in depth in class.

He is a really great prof and is accesssible outside of class. He didn't offer a study guide which made the tests really hard to study for.

Very good professor. Lectures were interesting and engaging. Always made sure everyone was on the same page. Forgiving grading system. Even if you failed 2/3 tests, you could still get a B. Accessible outside of class and very understanding of out-of-control circumstances

Adam is a very good lecturer, he makes the content very easy to follow and presents information very well. He does not care about participation and posts lectures online, which is nice incase you miss class. There is only one weekly homework that takes a good amount of time, but it is very doable. I would take him again.

Adam is an amazing lecturer and an even better teacher. He was very easy to work with and truly cared about the success of his students.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He moves very quick through topics but with some collaboration this class is doable.
