Reviews of professor Andrew Lankford

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I felt that Professor Lankford was an adequate professor, but don't expect to learn much from his lectures

Shows absolutely no enthusiasm, and he could care less about his job; he's just there to do research. Reads off of PowerPoints. Exams are poorly structured; I missed a negative sign and got 8% of my midterm grade deducted. HW is not too bad. DO NOT TAKE. YOU WILL NOT LEARN ANYTHING. I only got by because of high school physics.

Simply a good professor. His lectures are clear and he makes sure we have all the resources we need to make it through the course. The lectures don't have too much discussion and they are rather one-sided, but they are informative and concise enough to be a great resource to reference for homework and classwork alike.

He does nothing in class except read off the powerpoint, the examples are boring. I've had to learn everything through the homework and googling things i didnt know on the homework

Tbh not the best professor of you dont have any physics background. Really didnt get anything from him; had to read the book to understand. Tests were difficult and the final was a killer!

Yes he reads off slides and the lectures are long, but he does present some practice problems for each chapter that are similar to exams. He provided extra credits at least when I took his class online.

Took him Fall 18. Went to the first few lectures and noticed he just read off the slides so I stopped going. Bc of this, I had to self-learn and the material is pretty complicated so I had a hard time. Hence the exams were difficult too. Quizzes and homework are fair but those are the only pros. Basically, AVOID.

If he was teaching 7D or 7E in which many many concepts are new and more confusing than 7C topics, you would be screwed. The only reason I did fine 7C was because I knew most of the stuff from high school physics.

Lots of homework.

All he does is read off his slides and occasionally does demonstrations in class to help us visualize the concepts, but I found those to be more entertaining than helpful. Lots of hw, very briefly does examples in class *in his ppt* which means he reads off the slides as usual. Would not recommend if you're taking physics for the first time.

I took his online physics 7c on Fall 2020. Yes he read ppt when lecturing, but he gave examples in his lectures that are very useful to exams, discussions, and homework. The steps he wrote for the example were also very clear and understandable.

if you never took physics in high school, you are screwed. He expects you to already have a background or have learned the topics before. Does not explain examples well or at all.
