Reviews of professor Vivek Venkatachalam

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Excellent conveyor of the physics curriculum. Engaged in class and helpful during office hours. Always willing to assist students with academic concerns.

I took AP Physics in high school and hated it but Professor Venkatachalam was pretty good at these explaining concepts, and happy to explain further after class or in office hours; the structure of this physics class, which balanced homework and exam grades to make up a final grade, was really great.

Take anyone else. Lectures last no longer than 20 minutes most days, then you work on homework on your own. Most of the time this homework is past the level of the material lectured. There is also homework through another website that usually has concepts that were not learned in class, is barely reviewed, and often doesn't relate to test material.

If you took any AP Physics, this class is super easy, I almost felt that paying attention to Vivek confused me. Most of the time though he made the concepts simple. His tests were really easy too.
