Reviews of professor Asith Fernando

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Fernando is very tough. We used to study really advanced materials that shouldnt be taught in a 101 class. A LOT OF HOMEWORK. A LOT OF PAPER. 2 FINALS. A 20 PAGES FINAL PROJECT!!! all for a 101 class. I barely had time to study for my other classes. Not recommended.

The professor is extremely knowledgeable and intelligent. Unlike many professors, he actually cares about his students. He teaches this course at a very high level for a 101 class. But I understand why he does it.

Once you look pass the class work load, Mr. Fernando is one of the greatest professors one can ask for. He is extremely passionate about physics. He cares greatly about the what actual content has been delivered in his lectures and he constantly work with the class to improve the quality of it. I honestly learned how to college from this class.

Professor Fernando is very easy to talk to and he is one of the most understanding people I have ever met. He does assign a lot of homework, but he is always available to answer any questions we had. The "Buddy Help Sessions" have helped me very much. It is nice to know that you are not alone when you are confused about a problem.

Mr. Fernando is helpful and available outside of class time HOWEVER he assigns far too much work that is way to involved for an introductory class. I had so much work from his class alone that i could never do any of my other homework. This class is unnecessarily hard and during lecture he only talks about his personal accomplishments

His class is lot of work, and he does teach it at a higher level. He is very respectful and resourceful to everone. He is very clear about what he wants in class. He also hold unofficial office hours so anyone can come and get help on anything.

What he lectures about in class is never on the test. His exams are horrible. He takes the test and times himself. He doubles that time & that is how long you have to take the test. Make sure you do all of the homework that is due for that week it will help your grade. Also make sure to get the homework done ahead of time bc there's about 4 a week

Extremely knowledgeable and qualified on subject matter and he wants everyone to care about physics like he does. This is why he makes you work in his classes as it seems. He admits and shares his failures in physics when he was doing his undergraduate. Make sure to talk to him if you are struggling, he WILL work with you.
