Reviews of professor Murray Silverstone

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This is an extremely difficult class. The tests are very difficult, but much more manageable if you are able to understand his study guide. You genuinely have to spend 8-12 hours a week on physics on top of your other courses in order to do well. Dr. Silverstone is a very nice guy, and he wants you to succeed. Does give a study guide for tests.

Assigns far too much homework. Assigned 2 hw assignments during "dead week". In addition to an online lab. Pearson estimates 2+ hours for these assignments, but they take far longer. Not exactly sure why he assigns so much homework on top of all the readings and reading reviews. Don't waste a semester with this class.

This class is extremely difficult which should not come as a surprise as he clearly says so at the beginning. However, there are many grades offered besides exams and you can drop a unit exams which made a huge difference considering I failed the first one. I think he gets a bad rep just because people tend to fail his course-- you have to buy in.

Quite possibly the worst professor I have ever had. So much pointless work that takes up 12+ hours per week. I swear I felt like this class was a job. The tests were nothing we learned and you had such small room for error. The labs were also unbelievably pointless. I learned nothing besides how to be stressed about an entry level class daily.
