9920023Great teacher. Always makes sure that student's needs are met and goes out of his way to make sure that every single person in the class is able to keep up. He actually trimmed off the last chapter of physics I to make sure we understood everything else before that point. Everyone should easilly get an A in his course.
9920012A+ isn't a high enough grade for this guy. He is an extremely nice guy. He made university physics III the easiest physics class I've ever took. All you have to do is take 4 tests and he counts the best 3, including the final. He lets you use 1 notecard on all tests with whatever you want on it, the tests are in such a simple format, very straight forward questions with some of them actually coming from the book. The only thing that could not be good with this guy is that he talks very quietly so it may be hard to pay attention if you're tired. But I definitely recommend this guy to anyone.
9520012He's an easy A or B. TAKE HIM!!!!
9520012His tests are stright forward, he never tries to trick you. He grades mainly on if you use the correct formulas and isn't harsh at grading at all. The only complaint I have is that he talks very softly and its really hard to hear him at times.
7520012the class is extremely easy if you are able to teach yourself the material...if you expect to learn something..choose another professor...he has trouble doing the hw problems he assigns
7820012Well, you decide for yourself. Do you want an easy grade at the cost of learning very little? Take him! If you have the urge to learn more physics, then you should probably be looking for some other section. Personally, I learned very little from his class, and still managed to get an A in the course.
9920003Excellent teacher and a great person. Someone you definitly want for physics.
9120003Pretty good professor. He was a decent teacher, not excellent, but fairly good. Experessed ideas fairly well. tests were very easy, and he was very fair with partial credit. He seems to talk very softly, so if you sit in the back your in trouble.
9520003Hirsh is a really great teacher. He understands that his class isn't the only one you have. I wouldn't say he is easy but getting an A isn't hard.
9920003by far the best physics professor ive had(and ive had a few) grades fairly, teaches as if your not einstein. relates things to real life situations. very willing to help and answer questions. if you want to learn the stuff and get a great grade definitely take hirsh!!
9920003He is the nicest professor I have ever had, I don't know why someone gave him an F. I wish I could have him for every class.
9520003Good Guy.
9920003He is very helpful with explainations, he is in tune with the students

9520002this professor rocks dude! easy tests and he knows how to associate the things you learn with every day life.
8820002This professor does sure make Physics exciting and expect students to ask questions and make sure they are learning the major points through out the quarter. I receive a B through...
9520001Physics II: Cool professor, understands that 8AM classes suck, and gives easy tests.
9920001This professor is the best! Take him without question!!
9920001This guy rocks! Easy tests and he grades them nicely. Really nicely!
Awesome dude!

9919993Hirsh is the man!!! Take him! He grades fairly and his tests are easy! There is no excuse for not taking him!
9519993Modern Physics:
This guy knows his stuff and is more concerned about the student learning the material than with the strictness of his grading--I got an A.
