THIS IS A REVIEW FOR PHYSICS 1C - there is no class page for it yet!

This was George's first quarter teaching Physics 1C, and I think he did a pretty good job. He gives engaging powerpoint lectures with clicker questions and demonstrations, and the slides are posted online. Attending class is a must as he only solves and explains problems in lecture. Discussions are really optional, but I recommend doing the posted worksheets.

The grading scale is such that a 87.5 is an A, a 72.5 is a B, and a 52.5 is a C.

The first midterm was a nightmare, with average was in the 40's. Then the second midterm was easy, with the average in the 80's. Then the final was really hard again.

Problems from the textbook homework and the discussion worksheets appear on the midterms.

Homework is masteringphysics and some textbook problems. You get full credit for the textbook problems just for submitting something. Not too bad.

Clicker participation gives 1% extra credit.

Koutroulakis is HAWT.
That being said, he's also a pretty good lecturer. He's young (like early 30s I'd guess) so he's still really passionate and engaging when he lectures and talks about physics. He really wants the class to participate and encourages it. He remembers students names who go to office hours and routinely will acknowledge them during lecture, which is nice. He has a Greek accent but it's easy to understand (makes him hotter anyway).
6C is usually considered the easiest of the 6 series, and I'd have to agree with that, but this class is still challenging. BEWARE, because he WILL ask questions on the midterm over a topic that he literally JUST lectured over 1 or 2 lectures before the test!!!! He did that for our second midterm and I was not prepared for a full question to be over such a recent topic! I heard another girl say that he did the exact same thing in her 6A class, so just beware!
The format of his midterms are 5 multiple choice questions and ~3 free response questions (with multiple parts, a, b, c, etc.). The final is about twice as long as the midterm.

I got low Cs/D+ on both midterms so I was freaking out, but I pulled it together and did well on the final and got a B+ in the class. The labs/homework/clicker grades help, and I personally think that he made the final more manageable. But I also studied a ton.

Overall I would suggest taking him, he's passionate about physics, engaging, and he doesn't stutter/stumble over his words, say "uh" a lot, etc. Plus remember he is hot.
