Reviews of professor Paul Emigh

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Nice professor that seemed to enjoy teaching, however the course was ran horribly. The textbook did not have nearly enough information in it, attendance was mandatory but lectures seemed pointless because all we did was go over one problem, course is 4 credits but seems like more between lecture, studio, and lab, and grading is tough and confusing.

The worst pro ever

LIPA text is honestly horrible and doesn't cover the same material that other physics textbooks cover. They swear by this book, but I'm not sure if they've even read it themselves. Many grammatical errors in the book and its supposed to be a "published" book. LOL published by who? Patrick star?

I met him for two minutes in a special room in  “Weniger 212” He did some special things to me in that room and I still didn't get an A. Proper techniques but didn't get that A. Great motion though! His Kinetic energy is strong.

There needs to be a complete overhaul for the PH 211-213 series. Material is expected to be known outside of lecture and you spend lecture doing practice problems for 20 minutes out of the 50 minute lecture. Aside from the two lectures a week doing practice problems you have a 2 hour studio to do more practice problems, and a 2 hour lab.

Blames his students for 'not paying attention' when he is just a bad teacher and doesn't ever explain concepts in a way that is palpable to the large majority of people. His LA's and TA's do not actually know how to do physics which makes it practically impossible to know if you are doing assignments right. Watch flipping physics instead.

I fell asleep 6 time per lecture minimum! He treated me like the little boy that I am every time I when to office hours! Just skip class and study with Ali Mozumbder!

Dr. Emigh's lectures are some of the most boring lectures you could ever attend. His lectures consist of a lot of talking with very little content. Overall, Dr. Emigh is one of the worst professors I have ever had and I highly recommend avoiding his classes.

He is a tough grader, and there isn't much that you can really do about it.

Paul structures the course terribly. Youre already supposed to know the material before lecture and just do practice problems in lecture. Often waste 15 minutes per problem. Absurd amounts of hw and everything is graded harshly. Expect quiz problems to be nothing like what you've done in class. Textbook is free, same one from 211 w/ new material
