Reviews of professor Timothy Plett

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Physics B4b is a hard course no matter what. That being said sometimes it feels like teachers try to make it harder. This is not professor Plett. He has amazing lectures, is a cool person, and makes the class super fun overall. You can get partial credit on his exams for having the right train of thought which is a life saver.

Plett is friendly and approachable. He wants you to pass and makes a point to learn all of his students names. The course is difficult and the exams are comprehensive so that makes them difficult as well. Do the homework, remember your calculus, grab a few extra credit points when you can, and youll survive.

Amazing teacher! Gives make up questions to get a better grade in the class and also a lot of extra credit. He cares about his students and his office hours are always opened for questions. Plett is a very smart professor, his vocabulary is very sophisticated, and of course, his class is worth it.

Took this class because it is a requirement for transfer. The material is hard, and I cannot absorb anything he taught or do any sample exam he gave. Believe me, I did all the homework. I do not want to take class with him but he is the only professor who did PHYS B4B in my semester.

Professor Plett was the best online instructor I've taken at both the community college and University level. He understands how to teach physics in a virtual environment so that students can connect with the material being presented, and always gives students the opportunity to ask questions.

Dr. Plett is unique but in a good way. His tests/quizzes will never be enough time, so practice. They are beasts but study and ask questions (especially during lab) and you will be able to get the concepts to better your chances in the class. Whole class is based around lectures, homework is pretty irrelevant to the class (but do it), good luck!

Professor did very well at explaining tough concepts in Physics II. His tests and labs prepare you for what you need in order to be successful moving forward. Tests are sometimes curved. One of the best science professors at Bakersfield College. Would take again!

Material is difficult but he makes it seem simpler. Good lectures, fair tests & lots of help throughout the course. I recommend visiting office hours. Extra credit available & makes the class fun. Seemed like he got frustrated sometimes when you didn't understand something, but overall he was a really good professor. Put in a lot of time studying.

He gives chances for extra credit; is funny; and he goes out of his way to make sure that his office hours are accessible to everyone. His tests are fair, you get out what you put in. His homework and lab grades are worth 15% each and are a gimme. He lets you make up part of the test grades with extra credit.
