Reviews of professor Andrew Gillespie

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Let me preface by saying that Gillespie is the only physics professor that I have had to this point; hence, I am not too sure where on the overall physics professor totem pole he would land, but I know this: he makes physics unnecessarily difficult to learn. From the monotone lectures to the annoyingly long homework assignments, his class is TOUGH.

He is a very friendly guy who likes to make sure his students follow lecture and concepts, he is happy to answer questions in class and is overall just a great guy. I believe he only teaches Physics I at the moment, but he's a good teacher. He provides plenty of examples and information via slides and handouts.

Professor Gillespie does not really teach you HOW to do problems or concepts behind problems. Just shows them on the board with work he wrote down and says, "Ill let you guys finish it". And with the COVID issue, his online lectures are even more unhelpful, cant make helpful videos with all this spare time? HW/tests are NOTHING like lecture.

Okay. If you have the option to take someone else, especially Uzun, do it. Prof Gillespie is easily the worst professor I have ever had. The class is beyond the level of difficulty of the MCAT, and his lectures just arent helpful. The homework is insanely long, and he purposely makes the exams hard as hell. Better off taking it with someone else.

This guy is the most dull and boring professor out there, he talks about as fast as sonic runs and leave you no time to understand the problems if you are copying them. He has no clear test reviews at all, honestly never take him if you don't have to. This guy will ruin you GPA over a class that should be simple.
