Made Physics lab a lot difficulter than it needed to be. He will help you a little if you visit him in office hours but he was't very friendly toward questions. I love physics, but this class was a BAD experience for me. |

Adelson, where do I start? Lecture is useless because he just goes through the book. The book is useless. CAPA questions are the only things you need to worry about, and the book doesn't help so go to the physics learning center. Adelson literally has no idea what he's talking about. exams are pulled from the homework...simple! Final is impossible. |

friendly of a corky guy but he means well he just shouldn't be teaching. doesn't try to trip you up on exams class is straightforward but certainly not rivetting |

Really friendly guy. Puts up all of his powerpoints online after class. Unfortunately he sometimes gives you online CAPA projects/tests on topics that he hasn't covered in lecture yet... If you use your textbook you'll be fine. It's a difficult class. He's not going to hold your hand. |

Oh, you're looking at Lawrence Adelson's page? I bet you expect him to have low ratings, right? Why d'you think that? Is it because he's annoying? He is annoying. You are justified to think that he is bad. He is bad. Did you see The Final Destination? The 3D one? He is worse than that movie and that movie's bad. It had no plot! It had no resolution |

Adelson is a prof. like no other. His class is long and entirely unfascinating. His presence drains the physics from the room. Asking him a question yields no help, only some badly executed wry humour and a belief that you should be able to do it yourself.(likely because he can't) I also have a sneaking suspicion that he is, in fact, a bear. |

He is refered to as "Mr.", not "prof.". The first indication of his incomptencey. He does not have any idea knowledge of physics and only serves to further confuse students. The class would be better off with only the lab manual and nessecary lab equipment. How he is employed here is a mystery to me. NEVER TAKE ANY CLASS WITH HIM!!! |

The phrase "dangerously incompetent" comes to mind when thinking of him. He doesn't actively try and fail you, and actually grades very easily, but that's because he has almost no idea what he's doing almost all the time, and unless you know what's going on already, you need to do extra work to pass. |

Very disorganized. I was in his summer physics2 class. By the 2nd week we were almost 1 week behind in lecture. We were given only half of the syllabus at the start of the class. The prof.s explanation was that he did not finish it yet, but we never did receive the rest of it. prof. was never prepared for class. overall not a great experience |

He's not your standard prof. and many kids in the class were upset by that, but if you overlook that and realize he's not as serious as you may think he is, he can be enjoyable. Pretty simple grader and found that he did well in courses. |

By far the worst prof. I have ever had. Kept me at a B+ even though my average was an 89.85. I don't think he tries to be rude but just comes off like that. |
