MY DEAR GODFATHER.

Far and away the best physics teacher I've ever had. Engaging lectures with a fun experiment in each one and you can tell he genuinely cares about each student. Office hours were always thorough and welcoming.

easy mid and final exam

Truly an awesome professor that goes above and beyond. He is very kind and enthusiastic about teaching physics. I just wish there was less multiple choice on the exams, or less weight for them.

Amazing professor. Very engaging and truly cares about his students. Extremely helpful office hours and does little demos in every lecture. Super passionate about the subject. I didn't like physics at all (due to 7C w/ a different professor), but Ochoa turned my least favorite subject into one of my favorites. Take Ochoa if you can, he's the best!

Possibly one of the best physics professors out there. Go to lectures. Not only does he do an amazing job of teaching but he does a cool demonstration every lecture. You can tell that he really cares about teaching and his students. The exams are fair and shouldnt be a surprise if you put in the work. Definitely take Prof Ochoa if you can.

Ochoa is the best physics professor at UCI!! He is a really fun professor that knows a lot about physics, and makes his class an overall enjoyable experience. His exams are fairly easy, and usually require almost no calculus. He does offer extra credit through poll everywhere, so make sure to show up to class and get the extra credit if you can.

Amazing lectures with a lot of live demos and experiments. He really makes physics fun. His midterms and finals are way easier than the homework he gives out. Discussions are mandatory but they are really useful for practicing problems that are similar to his tests and give you a chance to collaborate. He makes this class genuinely enjoyable!

Had him for 7C and 7D. Best professor I have ever had. He is hilarious, he loves what he teaches, he records lectures, he provides extra credit (I got over 100% in both 7C and 7D), he's super accessible (he once responded to one of my emails within a few minutes on a weekend), and he made me love physics He does a lot of fun demonstrations!

Honestly one of the best lecturers I have ever taken. Weekly discussion group collaboration quizzes with possible EC, weekly hwrk, 2 midterms and 1 final. Midterms and final were fair (easy for me bc I over studied). 3% possible EC for just showing up to lectures. Wish I took him for 7C as well, and unfortunate I can't take him for anything else.
