good thing Cs get degrees. I took Milsoms class a couple years ago actually but I came back to write this review because no joke I still wake up from nightmares about physics. Im in vet school. Do what the counselors advise you to do and take the class from Pima, dont risk your GPA if youre not a physics major.

He gets way too much hate. His class is tough but he is a great lecturer. His tests are difficult but doable! He comes across has sharp but is actually a really sweet guy who cares about the students. I had him for 331 not 371 it just wasn't an option for me to select.

Avoid like the plague (he's even worse). If you want to hate life for 3 months, he'll help you out.

Be prepared for a condescending and rude answer to any question you ask. He expects students in an intro physics class to have a perfect understanding of every concept. Homework and exams are significantly more complex than anything covered in lecture. Makes you grade your own homework and his solutions don't explain the problems

My online PHYS 102 class was taught by a grad student, though overseen by Prof. Milsom. When I say I had to spend 7 hours a day on this class I'm not even kidding. I took it in an online format in a 5-week course (which maybe that's my fault for being dumb lol). But it was horrible I cried every night and eventually had to drop to save myself.

The only reason I did well was due to prior experience with physics. Professor Milsom seemed upset all the time and I wondered if he actually wanted to teach. Did not answer questions super well. Did have help hours before tests.

Lectures are useless whiteboard rants and there are ZERO materials to study afterward. Exams and homework are impossible. If your major requires this class, take it at another college for transfer credit or switch majors. Treated it like a full-time job and got a D. Please don't repeat my mistake. P.S. Milsom really is as condescending as they say.

He is rude and his lectures make 0 sense

I don't think Dr. Milsom is as bad as everyone says. The class is hard and I think thats why people get frustrated. You need to go to lecture and everything is written on the whiteboard so if you miss class you miss notes. You can usually use khan academy and think tank to catch up. It takes work to get an A but he's not unfair with test questions.

Really nice guy who is very receptive and eager to help. His feedback, however, is muddy and generally unhelpful. Harsh grader, tons of work, impatient, and not very good at teaching. The guy is a genius, he just isn't able to break down his vast knowledge to a simple, beginner level, which was crucial for this class. This led to a large fail rate.
