I did much better than last time. I think I had a great semester although not on it. Thank you for all your help. (& the extra credit possibilities . ( Oh, but not reflecting the teacher.. The grades was terrible.

_________

Professor Weinstein was an excellent teacher. He was very enthusiastic. He would bring information in from the real world. So we could understand concepts better.

_________

Dr. Weinstein is a great teacher. He makes the class interesting and is always very helpful to his students.

_________

I liked the demonstrations and videos. The instructor did very well at answering students questions.

_________

very helpful, always available when you need help, friendly, very intelligent, able to teach us in simple terms.

__________

Professor Weinstein takes the time to help students with problems that they are having with the homework or class work. He always makes the time to help which a lot of professors do not take the time to do.

___________

Just like last semester, this is a good course. Learned lots. Dr. Weinstein is very passionate about his work/teaching which makes it very east to learn. Class structure and organization reflected his preparation for the class. He's a professional and loves to teach. I respect that. Thanks. Dr. W.

____________

I feel that this course was well organized but not very useful for education.

___________

Dr. Weinstein is a Jerk. He is out of touch with reality. The way he grades is unfair and he needs to keep his opinions to himself as they don't pertain tot he class.

____________

Material at the end of the semester was not given enough time for proper understanding. Maybe specific time should be set aside for homework.

____________

He made class very interesting and fun. I really enjoyed taking this class.

Dr. Weinstein is an EXCELLENT professor. He is a kind-hearted and patient person who really wants his students to succeed is willing to go to great lengths to help you do so. I enjoyed his class very much. Thank you.

__________

Instructor did a real good job in making this class a lot more exciting than it could have been. Used a lot of sample apperstu's which was the best part of the class. Would recommend Dr. Weinstein to anyone who wants to learn physics the best way.

___________

The lab was very disorganized again this semester. There needs to be more responsible lab instructor. There was a lot of work this semester. The tests are very hard no matter the many hours spent studying for them. This class was supposed to be geared for early childhood education, instead it was a regular physics class. I would have taken a regular physics if that was the case.

___________

Dr. Weinstein was always available to help when needed. The assignments and work in class reinforced the lecture material. He gave ample opportunities for extra credit and was will to help you as much as you needed. The labs need to be restructured. The 2 day combo lab was a total waste or time. I enjoyed the class.

___________

The lab which is 3 hours once a week is only worth 15% of my grade where as a 10-15 problem homework assignment once a week is worth 25% of my grade. This doesn't quite seem like a fair distribution of % points. The 3 hour lab takes a lot of time that I could be doing more important things (working!!) To be worth only a small part of my grade.

___________

The overall course was very good. Again though, same as last semester the problems are with the homework grades who does not seem to be able to count when it comes to adding up homework scores and dividing by the total possible. The other problem is the lab assistant, who was late several times, material needed was missing and blames it on some else) losing grades, and more.
