Reviews of professor Marc Bockrath

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He's a nice person but his lectures are rather boring- he works out one problem that really doesn't apply to most situations for the entire 55 minute lecture, most of what I learned from the class was in recitation and on the homework. His midterm averages were higher than other sections but his final was absolutely awful

I'm glad I waited to write this review. The semester started off horribly, and the class had to come together to report several flaws to the head of the Physics dpt. His lectures aren't great, but if you've read the book, you should have no issues following. I wouldn't say lecturing is his strong suit, but Marc is incredibly smart.

He's alright. Explains things pretty well but the class itself is just really hard on its own

Mark Bockrath couldn't teach me what 2+2 is. You'll learn more physics watching the big bang theory than in any of his lectures. He doesn't even keep the TA's informed. He assigns homeworks due on Friday that is literally impossible to do without Chegg

If you have an affinity for math and physics this is your guy. 1250 is a CALCLUS-BASED COURSE and he embraces that. He doesnt have patience for students who want answers given to them. If you go to him with formulated questions that demonstrate you put thought in, he is very helpful. If you want to actually understand material he is amazing.

If you think you know the material, think again. They test test you on things that you have never seen, and probably will never know how to do. You will leave every test feeling stupid while simultaneously crying. Have fun in the worst semester of your life.

Bockrath isn't great, it's arguable that he isn't even good, but he's at least acceptable. He'll get through the material and places emphasis on where you need to study, but PLEASE actually DO THE HOMEWORK. If you can complete the WebAssign problems and lecture examples with no issue, you'll be fine. Bockrath will not help you through though...

He seems like a nice guy and he is also a smart professor but he sucks at teaching. 90 % of the lecturers are just him deriving equations or showing proofs and he spends very little time actually explaining the physics behind stuff. If you are in this class read the textbook and make sure to use outside resources to stay on top of the material.

Horrible lecturer, handwriting is unreadable and lecture examples arent comparable to midterms or homework

I went to lectures the first few months and they did nothing for me. He teaches very fast, doesn't explain anything, and never responded to my emails. I taught myself all of the material from the textbook and Youtube videos. If physics isn't already your strong suit, I don't recommend his classes!
