Reviews of professor Jesus Zapata Pichon

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Pichon was a nice professor. There are about 5 exams in the class, and after every unit, there is an exam. He is nice but does not teach, there is a workbook that we work on every class time. I felt like I was teaching myself half of the time.

Very knowledgeable and interesting professor. Passionate about teaching and very fair grading.

I had to take physics but have no interest in the subject at all, Profe Pichon is caring and truly wants students to do well. Gives practice quizzes that are similar to tests and gives a lot of points on them. As long as you try you will pass. He also accepts late homework which helps your grade a lot.

I had Professor Zapata Pichon as a lab professor. In lab, he really helps out the students, especially with the calculations. He also gives lots of tips on the best ways to build your experiment. You do need to work for your grade, so sit at a good table because that will be your group. Pretty okay with grading the lab reports as well.

He has a very heavy accent. Extrememly smart. Exams are very difficult, but you have a page of notes for it to help you. Online quizzes can retake for a better grade. He really cares about students and wants them to pass

I had Professor Zapata Pichon as my lab professor, and he walked us through a lot of the work. He was very clear with what was required and if you ever asked for help, he'd do a great job at explaining and helping. He very passionate about physics has very interesting labs.

Don't take him unless you're already an expert in physics - even then don't do it. 351 is a g.e. but he doesn't know how to teach the material. He teaches everything with formulas (mind you I'm good at math), but there is only 5/50 questions of formulas on the exam. Unless you have someone to teach you the material don't take him.

He's 100% passionate about the material and knows what he's teaching but sometimes he doesn't communicate clearly (aka can be confusing when it comes to his expectations). That said, he really cares about student success and is always always ALWAYS willing to help.

He teaches physics very quickly and will just do equations and concepts on the board and then just move on to the next. It was super difficult and you have to spend a lot of time outside the classroom basically teaching yourself. But if you ask for help, he is 1000% more than willing to help any way he can.

He is extremely caring about his students success. He makes it clear during lectures what to pay close attention to for exams and gives examples that make concepts easier to understand. If you put the time and effort that you should into the class, you will get the grade you want.
