Physics 117a Hohenberg or Solin

Which Professor:
1) is more entertaining;
2) is educational; and
3) grades easier.


Thanks

Tom Bernatowicz is suppose to be a great physics professor. Wash U students at www.ratemyprofessors.com did not care for Solin (cares about research more than teaching) or Hohenberg (boring).

having had both teachers i would personally do hohenberg is you had to choose. missmolly is right, hohenberg is incredibly boring but he is a much better teacher, solin spends a lot of time doing demos and making jokes but not enough time teaching imho. if you are a physics whiz it might not matter, but i had a lot of trouble with it and found hohenberg to be a better teacher.
