Reviews of professor Mihai Vaida

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
TAKE HIM!!! I don't like physics but he made the class fun and easy to pass. He drops an exam and some of the quizzes. The content seems hard but the exam is just the basics.

Stellar professor, a true gem of the UCF physics department. He does many demonstrations during lecture and ensures that students understand complex topics. Very clear expectations and genuinely cares about his students, be ready for pop quizzes during lecture and understand the homework and you will do great. Take him!!

Normally I hate physics but Vaida makes it understandable and engaging. Get ready to learn all about electricity and magnetism. He does 3 midterms and a cumulative final. Drops the lowest exam and for every midterm, he drops 20 points, so it's quite easy to get a decent grade. Fun demonstrations and informative explanations to problems.

Tons of dropped quizzes, a dropped exam, extra credit built into each exam, and overall the exams were easier than other professor's. Worst is the discussion quizzes but even some of those get dropped. Lectures weren't super useful but understanding quizzes and homework will prepare you for the exams especially because the homework is harder. GOAT

If you're lazy you won't pass so this isn't an easy A. If you pay attention, you'll be just fine. All his tests are in person and there are "announced" pop quizzes.

Anyone taking physics I DEFINETLY recommend taking him. Very respectful of students and makes learning fun. I never liked physics until I took Professor Vaida. Drops exams, quizzes, and homework and tons of experiments. Homework is way harder than tests and quizzes. Thinks about the best interests of his students always.

I highly recommend Professor Vaida! His lectures are informative and he does cool experiments in class. He usually announces when there's going to be a quiz. His exams are based on the homework and practice problems he does in class. He drops two quizzes and two homeworks and he excuses one exam. Overall, super chill and caring professor!

100% the goat! as long as you come in for "unannounced" pop quizzes, do hw, and discussion quizzes you are good. His pop quizzes are super helpful for studying for exams, and sometimes he goes over them in lecture before they are handed out. His exams are graded out of 120 pts so theres built in extra credit. He also allows formula sheets for exams

He gives some pop quizzes but he was definitely passionate and was willing to answer any questions you had without embarrassing you. I would definitely take him again, assignments would take a while (1-3 hours) but it was just one assignment per week.
