Reviews of professor Samuel Stafford

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Stafford is an amazing professor who is clearly passionate about what he is teaching. He is a very nice and caring guy who will help you when asked. Physics is a very hard class though, especially if you didn't take it in high school. Despite his class being very hard, I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to be my professor.

Dr. Stafford is a great professor. The material is hard, but very doable with studying, I thought I would fail the class but didn't. Stafford is always willing to help either through office hours or email. He responds quickly and does a good job explaining everything.

Professor Stafford is amazing. He genuinely cares about his students. He takes the time to explain everything and is very approachable. He is knowledgeable and caring. I will truly miss this class. It was very difficult, dont get me wrong. But he made it easier because of what a great teacher he was. Theres not a lot of professors like him.

Sam Stafford is the #1 prof to take Physics 1250 with. He has a wonderful way of explaining really hard concepts in a great way. Tons of practice problems in class to take notes on. He moves very fast, so be prepared to take plenty of notes and ask questions. Quizzes are tough, but he is generous with curving, and you do get 2 quiz drops.

Like others have said, physics is tough, but compared to the way this course is taught on main campus, Stafford makes it so much better. He's great at explaining difficult conceptual aspects of the course, and clearly is passionate about his work. He's available outside of class time to help if needed, and overall I highly recommend him.

Dr. Stafford delivers interesting lectures that have class participation inside of them and keeps his class dynamic to keep the class engaged. He is very good at explaining some of the more confusing physics topics and offers numerous opportunities to talk with him, whether it is after class or during office hours. Amazing professor.

Very awesome professor! He was really thorough with his lectures and if you show up and focus during them you will do well. He is also helpful during his office hours.

Dr. Stafford is an amazing professor. While the class itself is very, very difficult, he doesn't make it unnecessarily hard. He gives generous curves and homework plays a significant part in your grade. He is available outside of class if needed, and really cares about his students. I highly recommend him to anyone who will take a physics course
