Reviews of professor Keith Bechtol

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. Bechtol is one of the best physics profs I have had at UW Madison: great lecturer, very responsive to student's questions, and clear expectations. This class was a lot more conceptual and takes on topics like general relativity, special relativity, cosmology, and other areas of Modern physics. Problem sets were relatively easy.

A very fair and intelligent professor. His lectures, examples, and problem sets did a very good job of preparing us for tests as well as demonstrating practical applications of an abstract subject. There is a final project instead of a final exam, which relieves stress around finals week and allows for personal exploration of topics.

Very nice professor compared to Duncan after doing 247-248 sequence. He cares students a lot and he does spend time on teaching and he wants his students to succeed. He might focus on deriving equations a lot in class, so reading Marion - one of the textbooks he posts would be beneficial. 311 with him was amazing experience

Best physics professor ever! If you talk to him, you will get an A!
