Reviews of professor Richard Wagner

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Class is HEAVILY discussion-based. Professor will help guide the discussion, class is more enjoyable when people participate. Most assignments have no hard-deadlines. Isn't too familiar with technology and doesn't use Blackboard so you won't know your grade, but he grades easy. Only one group project. Super sweet guy!

This is a hard class, but if you do all the homework, read the book in advance, ask him A LOT of questions, you will do fine. He explains physics problem mathematically very well and detailed. Don't fall asleep in class because he will get mad if you do. Tests are okay to hard depend on how well you understand the material. Assignments matter.

I really liked Dr. Wagner. He was always open with us and nice. It was a discussion-based class, so he facilitated and called on random people. (they were open-ended/opinion questions) It's not a hard class to get an A in. No hard deadline for any of the assignments, but you need to actually do the work. 1 weekly assignment, final paper, no exams.

Rather than simply lecturing, Dr. Wagner will engage the class in discussion on the subjects. He gives everyone the opportunity to have their voices heard and no opinion is off limits. It was a fun class to be in. There are some papers but it it's not terrible and he is reasonable if you need extra time.

Dr. Wagner was great! As long as you do the work it's easy to get an A. It is true he doesn't post to Blackboard, but as long as you turn assignments in correctly you should be fine.

The way Richard lectures and assigns work, group projects and exams really allows us as students to fully grasp material. Physics is a hard subject for most students taking it at a 100 level, so the pedagogy needs to be even better than teaching a room of physics majors. Physics used to give me anxiety and now thanks to Richard I love it.

He's a very nice man but the class is so boring.  I find it hard to make myself go.  He talks and expects everyone to respond back to him (he will make you).  We've literally had one grade and it was a take-home midterm, so while it's an easy class it is extremely boring.

Doesn't put a single grade in the system until the last day of the semester. He gets upset if you give an answer he wasn't looking for.
