Reviews of professor Kirtimaan Mohan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Mohan was amazing! I had him for both LB 273 and LB 274. He truly cares about his students. His classes were usually based around discussions and group work instead of lectures. Sometimes organization was a little bit of a problem. However, Mohan clearly knew physics and was very understanding of the challenges posed by COVID-19.

Great guy, great class if you can put up with its annoyances. The grading is nitpicky and arbitrary. The TAs and LAs are great, though, along with him. Even if you have taken physics before, you will learn pretty cool stuff. The class structure is odd: lots of group work and investigation. Exams are the only real hard part, though.

Overall, he is a great professor. He really cares about his students and often graded things pretty easily. The lack of lectures and instead being thrown into it was a bit tough, but that's how Lyman Briggs physics is as a whole. The class was pretty easy and I learned a lot.

This class is structured very differently. There aren't really lectures. mostly group work exploring physics ideas. There are weekly homework's that are similar to tests you'll take. It is a lot of thinking with your groups and then checking in with LA's/profs. Make sure to ask lot's of questions and pay attention during class and you'll be fine

As someone who hates physics, Dr. Mohan actually made me care about physics and it's ramifications in my field and the world. The investigative approach this class takes works. Doing experiments to show physical principles demonstrates the utility of physics as a science well. It's a brilliantly designed class taught brilliantly.

Dr. Mohan truly cares for his students. Class time is spent working on practice problems as a table group. The tests are challenging but there are opportunities to make up points. I often struggled on the homework but go to office hours, all the ULAs were super helpful.

Loved Dr. Mohan and the class structure! He is very kind and understanding and wants his students to do good. Homework and and in-class activities are helpful but asking questions is really important. There are group projects and working with others is helpful too.

I was worried to take a physics course at a college level but having Mohan made it not as stressful. As long as you do the weekly homework you get a front and back pice of paper for the three midterms and final you should be all set. The projects were easy to accomplish and the rubric was very clear for what was being graded.

Mohan is a super nice person but the Briggs physics department is AWFUL. The class was a mess, there are no formal lectures. They just put you in breakout rooms with worksheets for 2 hours with no explanation of concepts. Same for Physics 1.
