Reviews of professor Michalis Charilaou

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I feel bad that the worst part of the class was that I couldn't understand his accent. Other than that, he is a really nice teacher and he cares about his students. Sadly, the class goes really quickly and falling behind isn't an option. Take notes on EVERYTHING because it all is important for the tests.

Class was straightforward. Tests were really easy and based off the notes and homework. Easy grader and gives a lot of credit. Puts all the notes on moodle

Took his class and it wasnt what I expected. He gave out practice problems and homework to do over the weekend for preparation to the test, but it doesnt really prepare you at all. It is also hard to follow him during lecture. His test are also not like his homework, so be prepared to see some problems youve never seen before.

Generally the toughest part was the low pitched accent which made it very difficult to follow. It quickly became apparent I should teach myself the lecture. Be ABSOLUTELY SURE you do everything for his homework and I don't mean show your work, I mean show the work for your work. What generally is an easy answer is just elongated, kinda off putting.

The professor that inspired my passion for physics. You need to really know the material, but he does well with his lectures and lets you know what he's looking for on tests. Practice working problems that he gives you and you should be fine.

His class is alright. It's faster paced than I'd like, but he saves just about everything on moodle, and doing the practice (optional) reinforces my understanding a lot. I tend to struggle in physics, but honestly no big complaints here except that unlike most teachers, he doesn't allow any kind of formula sheet on the tests. I hope he reconsiders.

Dr. Charilaou was one of the better professors for PHYS207. By word of mouth, Manavi didn't teach. Charilaou actually tried his best to cover all the material we needed and explain the concepts that were tested. Focus your studies on the hw, the exams had the same format, but know dimensional analysis! He has a thick accent & with a mask was hard.

This professor is one of the best that UL's physics department has to offer. He tells you exactly what he's looking for on his tests, and prepares you for them. He posts his notes online and explains them well during his lectures. If you have even the slightest aptitude for physics/engineering, his class is easy.

He is someone I wouldnt ever think about taking again. He does not explain things at all. Our only grades for the class will be test grades (3), so no homework or attendance is used as grading. Ive been having to teach myself the material because he doesnt explain equations. Doesnt allow cheat sheets, but expects us to remember 30 equations.

The best class ever. You don't have to do anything to pass.
