Reviews of professor Andrew Meyertholen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
4 quizzes, 50% of the overall grade, being test heavy. He curves each of the quizzes making the average 70%. The problem is that if u get the average, 70%, you will get a C. The good thing is that he gives extra credit if you score over the curved score. Overall he is great, various formulas for grade calculations, he is caring and nice.

He is passionate about the subject but not the students. His tests never truly resemble the practice we did and his review sections helped little to none. Did everything he asked for and passing the class was barely manageable. He has used the same product the last 5 years and his grades this quarter show that he cant explain material well. Just no

Won't lie - physics is really hard. But there are many opportunities to succeed. The homework is a lot harder than the quizzes, but I don't think a lot of people do it (costs $65 to access). Meyertholen's flipped class format is great practice, but you need to add more as needed. Overall, you have to fight hard for a good grade.

Meyertholen really cares about his students, and is very generous with grades. Just do all the practice problems and quizzes he recommends, understand how to do all of them, and the class will be easy. Good lectures as well. I had never taken a physics class in my life before, but the class does not expect any background knowledge.

I lowkey feel like his quizzes this year are significantly harder than the ones given before. My roommate gave me his quiz from last year to study with. So much easier than what I got. I thought the quizzes were going to be fine, since discussion problems weren't bad. Nah the quiz was significantly more difficult. I DO NOT RECOMMEND! MUST AVOID!!!!

The professor is quite nice in lectures. The professor gives extra videos before class to watch prior to every lecture, and during lecture, he gives iclicker questions and examples. Though the course is challenging overall.

He gave a quiz every other week (4 quizzes), which came with nice curves ranging from a 4% curve to a 17% curve on quizzes, making the mean about 70%. These quizzes were very fair, it lined up well with his practice quizzes and discussion. Attendance though was mandatory, but it was not too participation intensive. Would take with him again.

Dr. Meyertholen is clearly well-versed in his field, and did a decent job making difficult concepts easier to understand. He is very funny and everyone seemed to like him in class. Lectures were sometimes confusing and his handwriting is one of the worst I've ever seen. While his class was fun, I had a difficult time with the material.
