Reviews of professor Tilaye Asfaw

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. Asfaw is very knowledgable in physics, but very confusing to understand and follow. I had taken physics in high school, but Dr. Asfaw retaught simple things in an awfully confusing way. The homework is even harder than the lecture material, but the quizzes are even harder.

Dr. Asfaw is one of the best professors Ive had at UT. He is really passionate about Physics, and helps his students so much. You must attend class regularly to pass this class. Every lecture is vital. He offers extra credit, drops lowest exam. The class is not easy, and you must put in individual effort as physics is the hardest. He is a scientist

Dr. Asfaw is the nicest professor I have ever had, is extremely passionate and enthusiastic about teaching, and cares about his students. The course is not designed to be terribly difficult, however, some effort will be needed to do well. Attending lectures is beneficial, as exam questions are very close to lecture questions. Dr. Asfaw is the best!

Seriously cares about his students and getting them to interact during class. If you are stuck on exam questions, he will guide you towards the right approach. If you are good at math, you will get by in this course with very little effort. If you struggle with math, he is definitely willing to help! Highly recommend!

He presents the material in a fantastic way and makes it really easy to understand. He is more than willing to help and further explain things if you don't understand. Tests weren't bad at all as he had all of the necessary equations on them. Even if you didn't get a question, he'd generally give a hint if you asked. Would definitely take again.

Professor Asfaw is very passionate about physics. He is a scientist studying the Sun. The class is not hard if you go and participate and do the homework! RESPONSE QUESTIONS are a big part of the test! He is a very good teacher! I loved him and he cusses a lot. Overall a good teacher and very understanding.

This Professor is awesome! He really cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He is very knowledgeable in Physics. But you need to know calc yourself before attending his class. Attendance is not mandatory but going to lectures is really the only way to understand the material. He has to raise the level of the course a bit.

Great teacher that explains concepts very well. If you do not understand something he will be more than willing to help you understand the material. Attend classes and labs and pay attention and you'll do just fine. Definitely taking him again for 2020
