Reviews of professor Andrew Whitbeck

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
No need trying to understand everything thats going on in lecture unless youve recently worked with the large hadron collider or plan to in the near future, nice guy, smart guy, bad professor. No use to going to SI either really, Whitbeck doesnt believe in having any basic conceptual questions or basic calculations on his test.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The real problem comes with not even knowing what you dont understand, just took the final and it had no conceptual questions like other professors would use, went the whole semester with neither myself nor the SI who sits in his class knowing how to study for his tests, whitbeck has the worst averages and the weakest curve of any phys professor

He is the most terrible professor you will ever come across in your life. He expects you to do stuff that would help avengers to manipulate time dimension to bring the half erased population of the universe. You can't pass his exams even after you read books, his notes, homework questions, SI Sessions, and what not. DO NOT TAKE HIM! DO NOT

The tests are very difficult and nothing like the homework or SI Sessions.

This class is a nightmare. He gives 0 specification on what will be covered on the exams, and seems to have a "figure it out yourself" attitude. Lectures and homework have nothing to do with the test material. Take this class with someone else who will actually prepare you for their own exams.

Hands down the worst professor that you can take for Physics II. My biggest regret is not dropping this class when I had the chance. This guy is a perfect example of a smart guy that can't teach to save his life. The work you do in class looks nothing like the test. All I can at this point with my grade, God is in control.

When he hands you the test you might as well be blind folded.

Nice guy, but it's the classic too smart to be a good teacher. He says study for tests using homework and the textbook, but he takes maybe one or two questions from the textbook and changes everything. You do get a 3x5 notecard for exams, but they're helpful for maybe two or three questions no matter how much information you cram on them per test.

Make sure you do good on homework and labs because youll need the padding for your grade. Studying for tests just comes down to you taking a wild guess on what itll be over, as its not anything from lectures or homework. He's fine with class averages being in the 40s and 50s and doesnt curve very much.
