Reviews of professor Ian Appelbaum

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He is one of the worst professors I have ever had. Although I do appreciate a challenge, Appelbaum presented us with more material than reasonable. Additionally, he initially refused to have office hours and was not accommodating whatsoever. Additionally, his weekly quizzes were multiple choice and not a good representation of the material.

Appelbaum was tough, but fair. He has the philosophy that he can only go so far in teaching, you have to meet him and try to understand yourself, which makes sense for a physics major's class. The homeworks were long and hard and almost impossible if you didn't seek help. Instead of midterms there were quizzes, which were unseemingly difficult.
