Reviews of professor David Argudo

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He's a legit guy, super open, accommodating, and really enjoys his field. Lectures can be a bit boring but it is a great course to learn how to think about physics and its fundamentals

class requires a lot of effort and hard work... but it pays off! David has a different grading criteria which I think is great for difficult course. Like comments below, I think his labs can be improved, but he truly cares about his students success.

awesome professor, v knowledgeable about physics/stem... he has a phd from an ivy league. he doesn't give tons of homework, grades most things (besides exams) based on completion. class is v exam heavy. the tests are medium to hard, depends on how you studied.  

He has a lenient grading scale:
90-100 = A 
85-90 = A-
80-85 = B
75-80 = B-
etc

As an individual who has never gotten below an A, PHYS 2A with David Argudo was terrible. Not only are the lectures in video format, these lectures ASSUME you already know the formulas and understand the concept. They are not helpful at all. The tests are highly graded and once you start on a failing streak, you will not get back up. :/

Attend all the lectures, study consistently, and be willing to ask for help from David outside of class. Definitely attend any review sessions and do all the extra credit. You won't get an easy A out of this class so if you're looking for one, best to find another instructor.

He knows his physics stuff! Discussions are interesting and I feel that I learn a lot from them. HW is OK, problems from book. His exams are a mix of problems from Discussion, HW and sometimes he makes up problems (hard!!!). Labs are simulations and not very useful.

He is the hardest teacher and his class the hardest class I have ever taken. However, I would take him a million times over. He is the smartest person I know and very inspirational. Always pushes students to work harder and be better and motivates them. Freshen up on your math and try to read the chapter before class. He is ALWAYS on campus.

If only Gavilan had other physics instructor, but no you're stuck with him! I'll start by saying, David Argudo is no doubt a very smart instructor but he is not a great instructor! You can't come to him for questions because he will just belittle you for not being smart. He only cares about you if you're going into biology field majors.

challenging course but worth it!

Class is hybrid with emphasis on practice concepts and problem solving. Labs are OK.

His lectures are heavy but you fell truly inspired after.
