Reviews of professor Falk Herwig

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Just a straight up bad teacher. Makes us do Labs that are worth nothing, then gives Assignments that are confusing and can't teach for crap.

As another commenter said, Falk is self-righteous. His lectures, comments, and opinions are not particularly helpful. He can be petty, irritable and patronizing, all the while blaming students for any difficulties they have. His contributions to the course made it unnecessarily difficult and detracted from the overall learning and experience.

Falk once spent a week and a half of classes discussing two irrelevant slides. Avoid at all costs

He is not nice enough to be a professor

This class was co-taught with Dr. Budney. Everything about this course and the way it was administered was disorganized and inconsistent. As a teacher, Falk is very difficult to follow, does not explain concepts, and self-righteous about his teaching method.

Lectures, Assignments and Labs are all over the place and incoherent. The material on tests and assignments are nothing like whats learned in class, you'll spend the majority of your time in office hours trying to puzzle together concepts that were either explained terribly or not explained at all. Doesn't seem like teaching is his main priority.

The worst prof I have ever had. Incoherent lectures that don't prepare you at all for quizzes/tests and a terrible final exam format.

Falk is a reasonable prof and I don't find his class difficult. My only dissatisfaction is that I find his class disorganized as lecture notes are poorly designed, and assignment and midterm marking takes a long time to mark. However, I learn new material in this course and the TAs are super helpful. However, lecture notes can be better

Not what I expected after hearing the horror stories. By no means amazing, lectures were boring and easy to fall asleep to, and often tangents irrelevant to the course. Regular quizzes were nothing to write home about either, not insanely difficult but often answers were only mentioned by him verbally in class. However, definitely not horrible.
