Reviews of professor Rick Edwards

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Great at explaining concepts and how they tie into the math involved, clearly has a passion for the subject. Quizzes are free points and about the same difficulty as the tests, but still do the homework so you know what to do. Jokes during class are actually pretty funny, which is rare in a college lecture hall.

Great professor. He highlights what's important to know for tests. Very patient, maybe too patient hah.

PHYS M20B is a difficult class for many people conceptually, but Professor Edwards is great at making these concepts easy to understand. His lectures are interesting and he has a great personality and tells stories throughout the class. The exams are fairly easy if you do his optional homework. I highly recommend taking him.

Maybe it's because I'm not a physics major, but this class really had me stressing. There are 3 exams (250 points each) and 1 final (350 points), he drops the lowest exam. Each exam is usually 4-6 questions but with several parts that relate to one other. His tests are pretty difficult but is a generous grader. Overall, Edwards is a solid choice

If you're a physics major please take this guy. He uses openstax textbooks as a framework for his lectures, but as long as you attend all lectures you'll never need to read. Exams are straightforward, EVERYTHING on them will be covered in class. Also provides any equations you'll need on a sheet of paper for every test. Really slow grader though.

Prof Edwards' class was very enjoyable. He was very good at explaining difficult concepts and provided several example problems that he worked through during class. His tests were a large percentage of the grade but they were very fair, no curveballs. My one complaint was that he was very slow on grading. Other than that, solid.

Three chances for four option quizzes with no time limit, exam straight forward which totally covered by lecture and review. If you don't get the grade you want, you can blame other classes on professors, but definitely not him.

One of the best professors Ive ever had. Its no question that Physics isnt an easy class, but Professor Edwards does his best to simplify it, and makes it much easier than other professors may. Take this professor!!

Only 2 HW assignments and only 3 tests the whole semester. Answers to everything can be googled! 





TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had him for Phys M20B, M20C, and M20CL. Takes a VERY long time to grade things. Drops the lowest test grade. Good lectures. The tests aren't too difficult. Attempts to accommodate students as much as possible. Very open to answering questions. I'm not big on physics, but I felt like I learned in this class. Overall, great professor.
