Reviews of professor Walter Tangarife

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Extremely caring professor and wants everyone to do well. Quizzes out of 4 points so you need to do well. Know the math behind labs. Labs relatively short, got out 30 min - 1 hour early every time. Would take again!

He's super chill and is always willing to answer questions. Make sure you understand the lab and read the pre-lab so you can do well on the quizzes. My TA was awesome too, most physics TA's are. This class is not bad at all maybe 30 min off work outside class a week.

His enthusiasm during lectures made me respect physics a little more. Prof. Tangarife is funny and energetic and is very willing to help his students both academically and personally. His class is not easy and requires your full attention during class. He also has a complete understanding of physics which makes the class all the more interesting.

Toughest class so far in my time at loyola. But this is a very cool physics class. Dr. Tangarife does a great job in his lectures and gives plenty of extra credit opportunities.

He really cares about his students and wants you to learn, cares more about that you are learning than what grade you get and is really helpful in explaining things so it is under stable. love him

Best professor this semester. I liked his passion during lectures and how he cares for his students. Explanations are clear and he calls us by our names. He can be a tough grader, but he'll give extra credit as well. I truly enjoyed physics this term, I only wish I could take 112 with professor Tangarife in the spring.

I haven't physics before, and I was nervous about it, but professor Tangarife makes it enjoyable and far less nerve-racking. He is tough because he expects you to put the time in and does not spoon feed you. You don't have homework grades as a buffer, so you have to study hard for your 2 midterms and the final, but he loves to help his students.

Physics is a hard class in general, but Tangarife doesn't do a good job at teaching. You're mostly graded by 3 exams total which is pretty rough. Bright side is Tangarife genuinely cares about his students and will give some extra credit after exams. You're not screwed if you have him but it'd be better off if you went with a different professor.

Dr. Tangarife is a fantastic professor. He truly cares about his students and wants to make sure you truly understand the material. Homework is optional, but a lot of his exam questions are based off of the homework so make sure you do it. Exams can be a little tough, but he gives extra credit. I wish I could take him again for 112.
