Reviews of professor Anton Andreev

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
His lectures are dense with information. However, most of the content taught in lecture does not show up on exams. Instead, a lot of the learning is picked up in the assignments and readings.

Nonetheless, he is a brilliant professor. It's amazing how he can fill up all 9 boards seemingly from memory. He is very helpful during office hours.

Best prof in physics

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He's a very caring professor and tries really hard to help his students. He also knows physics very well, unfortunately he's not very good at passing that knowledge on in lectures. His lectures are unorganized and he often assumes students are understanding him perfectly so he skips a lot of steps in his explanations. His tests are very fair though

HOTT. that blue sweater tho. hnnnnnnnngggg... Famous lines: There's oxygen in the water because fish need to breathe. I don't want you to get lost in the math so I'll just post the solution 5 minute tangent topics: how ice cream is made, how clouds form, how awesome Landau is

Maybe it was just the online format for me, but I'm not sure why others love his lectures so much. They were super hit or miss; some days I learned a lot and others I was more confused than reading the book. I personally felt his exams were pretty difficult, but his quizzes are really easy. Overall good guy but maybe just not my style of teaching.

Took this class in Winter 2019 and inspired me to look into Complex Analysis.

I have had the displeasure of taking Professor Andreev's course. I have found that at this level the quality of teaching is severely lacking at UW and instead the classes are taught by people that understand the content but don't know how to teach. Be prepared for hour long lectures where nothing makes sense and having to learn it all yourself.

This is class is inherently hard and the more math you have done before hand the better. But Anton really cares that student understand. and will answer questions mid lecture. GO to his office ours and ask question. The goal of his teaching is for you to understand the math at a deeper level. My favorite prof by far!

Dr. Andreev knows a lot about physics. A scary amount. However, some topics can feel a bit lost in theoretical derivations that go past the scope of the class. But, he is more than willing to help in office hours or outside of class. The first part of the class was quite rough, but as it transitioned into more theoretical stuff it worked out!

While there was lots "this won't be on the exam, but it's really cool so I am going to tell you more about some topic", it was a really interesting class. Thank you <3
