Reviews of professor Edward Chapman

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Terrible teacher, and tries to push forward his perception of life on you. Dude, you're a physics teacher.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Really good about giving partial credit for setting up the problem correctly. Also small opportunities for extra credit on tests. Very helpful in EI, and a decent lecturer. Quizzes and tests somewhat difficult. No study guides but he gives you a clear idea of what to expect. Physics is hard, but he makes it manageable. He wants you to do well

He is honestly one of the best professors I have ever had. He cares about full person development and will take time to explain military stuff to us, let us out early to enjoy the weather, and teaches us strategies to be successful beyond physics. In class he is extremely helpful and wants everyone to succeed and offers positive feedback.

I would not reccommend this teacher at all. He deturs students from asking questions by belitting them if they do not know the answer. Numerical grades are not given by this professor, only letter grades so it is impossible to calculate how you can achieve a higher grade in the class. You will be counted tardy for using the bathroom during class.

LCDR Chapman's intentions are nothing but good, and I appreciate his passion for teaching. But if you value your time, avoid at all costs. The amount of homework he assigns is completely unreasonable. If I had to guess, it was triple what the average SP212 student deals with. Seriously, just don't.

Tries to be a stoic in class when he is absolutely terrible as a teacher and person.

LCDR Chapman knows what it takes for you to be successful in physics. In short, it's repetition and breaking down problems into it's components. He seeks to get the student to understand each aspect of the problem.

Definitely the worst teacher I've ever had. He seems nice at the beginning but you eventually find out that he doesnt really care about you. Asking questions in class feels like youre doing something wrong and will never ever tell you your grade in the class and to "trust the process" even though the process doesnt help. EI sucks.

This was honestly a miserable course to take with LCDR Chapman as a professor. Self righteous at best & unable to listen to his students. Assumed a lot about students, and ultimately overstepped. Life is viewed differently by everyone and he wanted us to view it his way.

Terrible teacher because he doesnt actually believe in teaching. Save your time unless youre ok with working hard for at most a B+
