Reviews of professor Dean Simmons

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
General Physics is hard. Simmons makes it understandable. He doesn't have real office hours but makes it clear that he will make himself available. One of the few teachers that wants you to learn the material, he doesn't just speak at you and expect you to know everything. Book is free online in PDF format if that's your thing. Homework is doable.

Professor Simmons is one of the best professors I have had. He makes the difficult subject of physics more enjoyable. He also understands that the majority of students taking his class as a prerequisite and/or for the MCAT, and not necessarily to pursue a career in physics. Also worth mentioning he has a great sense of humor.

Professor Simmons is AMAAAAHZING. If math is not your jam but you need physics, take this class - it's sans calculus. The prof respects your time, is VERY understanding, and is a funny guy who makes seven hours of physics/week bearable! Tests are fair and grading is very fair. I'm marking it as a 5 for difficulty, but some students breezed through.
