Reviews of professor Paul Haitkin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Haitkin is clearly very passionate about the subject. The material is difficult, but he gave us plenty of opportunities to make up assignments & quizzes, gave good feedback, and offered exam corrections. Overall, he felt pretty lenient, but that may have been because of the unusually small class size we had. I highly recommend him.

This class is hard.  Not because of Paul, but because it is physics.  However, this professor will make it more enjoyable to learn physics.  He also gives you chances to comeback if you messed up of the exams.  Take him, and you will look at physics class in a different way.

Professor Haitkin understands that physics is hard for students learning it for the first time. He doesn't spend whole lectures talking. He gives students time to work together on whiteboards with problem sets he posts online. Homework is due weekly and he posts answer keys where he shows step-by-step how to solve problems. He curves at the end.

This was a hard class and Paul did not make it any easier for us students. He was very harsh when it came to grading our lab reports, quizzes, and tests. He did not grade the homework as harshly though. The tests were super hard and had little correlation to what we did in the Zoom. I would take this class again only with a different professor.

I took Professor Haitkin for Physics 031B in the spring quarter. He is an absolute gem of a professor. His tests are similar to the homework problems, he lets you retake tests as well as labs, and he teaches with passion. Physics is by no means an easy subject but Professor Haitkin tries his hardest to make it understandable. I highly recommend him

A very knowledgeable professor and passionate about physics. He did his best to make physics not too hard to learn. Quizzes are given before exams and you will see some of the questions from quizzes on exams. Get ready to ask lots of questions while doing in class questions. It definitely helps.

Prof. Haitkin was awesome. Super laid back and funny. He also cares and tries to get everyone to pass. Lectures were clear, though his hand writing was a little messy. Not really sure what the other reviewer is talking about, he seemed like a pretty easy grader to me. He gives weekly quizzes and lets you retake them if you miss anything.

Haitkin is a real gem of a professor. He cuts right to the chase with the topics he wants you to know for his exams, making the learning environment straightforward and respectful of students' time. He's great at simplifying topics and is very approachable if you have questions. His class is challenging, but very practical and fun. Highly recommend
