Reviews of professor Brian Stephanik

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
EVERYONE NEEDS TO STOP BESMIRCHING THE GOOD NAME OF BRIAN STEPHANIK. 

Breakdown of hours per week (aprox. 7 hours max)  

2-3 hour lecture. This is a lot, can be watched sped up 
10-15 homework q's, no longer than two hours. 
Every two weeks a lab is assigned, 4 hours total 

Class grade is 55% exam, and 93% for A.  Generous stem classes!

He's a nice guy but his tests are poorly written and he make corrections while you're taking them. Averages were usually between 55-70%, both for my class and others. Lectures way more tedious than they needed to be and didn't really prepare me for the homework or tests. If you value your time or GPA go with someone else for this class.

Taking professor Stephanik's class wasn't a good experience. Probably the toughest professor I've ever met in BC. He just gave too much assignments... I had no time to study my major at all. Also this professor aims to only give out grades around 80%, so it's best to avoid people who are looking for A's.

absolutely suck at lecturing, very unorganized and mistakes everywhere

Do not take this professor's class! Many bad reviews have been deleted for whatever reason but the upvotes on the bad reviews still showcase how bad of a teacher Brian Stephanik really is. I took his class a while back and I 100% agree that he sucks and my university professors are much better.

He teaches some difficult courses at BC- but he was always respectful, accessible outside of class and understanding when I had him for 121.. Physics series itself is frustrating in amount of material that's covered quickly. Exams are rough but he gives partial credit and some EC. Keep up with coursework, work diligently on labs and you'll pass.

does not know how to teach despite having done it for many years, the worst physics class I've ever taken (I was excited about this class before taking it and now hate it)

There was literally a question called "click for one point"

Professor Stephanik was great! It's a difficult class, but that's just because of the content. Professor Stephanik makes it as easily understandable as possible, and he is SO accessible. Office hours are held every day. Nice and good at explaining concepts. Extra credit is available.

Please close your eyes and choose him. It's a difficult class, but that's because it's difficult in the first place, and the professor goes into great detail. But there's heavy labs, and the exams are huge, but they're not that hard. The exams are short.

I am amazed by this guy's ability to obtain a lecturer position with such incompetence. A shame to hold a PhD in physics (education).
