Reviews of professor Jonathan Meair

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Possibly the worst professor I've ever had. If you do not have a strong understanding of the material he will leave you behind and will offer zero help other than "read the textbook." Everything is taught in 5-20 min videos on d2l and he does not lecture. Class is just worksheets you do with your group so its entirely self taught. DO NOT TAKE HIM.

Great at explaining concepts, but does not lecture (flipped class). His teaching style is "ask questions until you understand the problem" which was super frustrating. Test questions and labs are simple, but he's a VERY picky grader and will deduct points for the smallest things. Helpful during office hours but I would choose a different professor.

Professor Meair's class was tough, but I wouldn't recommend any other professor but him for university physics. Two labs are dropped, one test grade is dropped, and he's a generous grader on tests. The key to success in this class is working with others and putting in the time at home. Tests are not a surprise, exactly like the HW and worksheets.

Concerned at 1st abt having to watch lecture videos before class but it really does help out. during class ur working on problems together to help build understanding of the material. Test r similar to homework questions & worksheets. Very accessible during & outside of class. Aside from being a good prof hes also jst a chill guy. Highly recommend.

Dr. Meair is passionate about teaching physics. He has lectures to watch outside of class so that time is instead spent guiding and teaching students as they work on problems. Ensures you learn the material, and hooks you up with any person or service you need to learn.

I took both physics I and II during Summer and Fall 2020.  His class was undeniably challenging but worthy. His expectations are the same what you're expected at university level. Now I'm in my engineering major and everything that Dr. Meair taught me is beneficial. Sometimes, I still use his lecture notes for my engineering classes.

Took him again for phys ll; couldnt imagine not doing that. Material is harder than phys l, but structure of the class really helps. Assigments can be tough and time consuming, so keep that in mind when registering for other classes. Even if u arent vocal abt needing help prof will check in with u often. Put in some effort n ur guaranteed to pass.

I was scared of going into an in-person physics class after my terrible experience in an online course. Now here I am at the end of the semester sad the course is over. Dr. Meair pushed us all and made sure we participated through the worksheets and gave us plenty of time to ask questions. Plus, he makes the class fun. A challenge worth taking!
