Reviews of professor Apostol Gramada

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Alrdy doesn't explain clearly, also hard to understand, im completely lost during lectures trying to copy things down but then looks like a bunch of gibberish. Get ready for WebAssign, says to not pay too much attention to the webassign problems but still requires it, major headache figuring them out if they don't have vids. Gives a chapter a day.

He's very difficult to understand and doesn't explain things properly. He just expects you to get it. You're better off reading the material yourself or using outside tutoring, but he still requires you to attend. He's also hard on grading. Even if you show work and get the correct answer, he will mark you down if the work is incorrect.

He doesn't explain his lectures very well, but you also have to attend them. He never explains the lab procedure meaning you'll always ask group next to you for help. He at least doesn't care what you do in class if you're not disruptive, so read the book yourself or do homework for other classes. You'll give up understanding his lectures early on.

Lectures are hard to follow. Just read the textbook. The 2 midterms and the final are based on the webassign hw, and there's a bonus problem on each exam. This class is horrible and beyond stressful, but an A is possible if you put in the work. Start studying 3+ days in advance and redo the hw 1-2 times.

Be prepared to take this class on your own. Because in order to take his class you need to already know the subject. He does NOT give any examples up on the board, and when he does, he goes through them fast and does half of it. I do not recommend him at all.

Dr. Gramada is one of the best professors I've taken. His enthusiasm for physics makes his lectures interesting. His lectures are directly in line with the book, so reading the book after lecture and practicing homework problems solidifies the material. He is very knowledgable, approach him with a specific question and he will answer it in detail.
