I found Abachi's intructions very interesting. He was well organized and came to class exactly on the clock. He is one of the greatest professors I have met at UCLA. I took his class in summer before i started my freshman year and he made my transition very rewarding. His teachings were advanced and difficult yet he taught it in a way where i can follow. I highly recommend him and sadly when i did begin my freshman year at UCLA I was unfortunate to not have an instructor like him.

This man cannot teach! His lectures are trivial and utterly meaningless; he never solves any useful problems, he simply (tries) to derive every formula already given to you. And I say "tries" because he can never quite do it. He's always making little mistakes here and there that confuses both himself and the class. What makes it worse is that his handwriting is horrible so you're not going to even be able to decipher the incorrect proofs scrawled upon the board. I also thought he kind of sounded like Bill Cosby (which may or may not be a bad thing depending on your predeliction for Jello and Kodak film). I never went to class after the second week. If you took AP Physics in high school, this class is EXACTLY the same and you shouldn't have to go either. For me it was an easy A. Oh yeah, and try to find someone with last year's midterms and final solutions for insurance. You'd be surprised how many people have them.
