Reviews of professor Leo Silbert

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I took professor Silbert's PHYS 1240 course online and it was great. He responded quickly to questions I had and was very understanding. He also gave me a lot of great feedback and made jokes. Each week has 6 assignments. I know it may sound like a lot but they are spread out over time. Great professor and super understanding. Would 100% it again.

If you already understand physics, youll do great. If its been a while since you have taken algebra and youve never taken trigonometry, be prepared to get help from someone else. He doesnt like to explain algebra or trigonometry. He is funny. He likes to give challenging homework. Examples in class and book are not as complicated as homework.

Do not recommend taking, lecture heavy along with pop quizzes off of week-old material.

Breakdown, you will have a lot of stuff packed into one week. Stuff is due almost daily with the weekend as a break technically. Most of it is light besides the homework and quiz. Average 10 questions each. Not too hard just read the book or look online for help on the concepts. If you're a procrastinator like me, you won't have a hard time.

Leonardo was a great instructor! His lectures were interesting and full of jokes. His homework sets were thorough and comprehensive. The textbook is very helpful for those hard homework questions. His tests are hard but aren't bad with a decent amount of studying. This course is not a walk in the park, it requires work.

Leo's Calc-Phys-II course is hard. But he gives you fantastic resources and has good (albeit heavy) lectures. The content is what makes this course difficult, Leo does a good job of explaining the complex details. He has a unique sense of dry humor that I personally love but might rub you the wrong way if you aren't used to it. Overall great class.

Leo is very helpful and makes sure everyone is the class gets it. He responds really well to class feedback and modifies his teaching accordingly. I have trouble understanding physics and he really helped me succeed in this course. If physics is a hard subject for you, i recommend taking it with Leo!
