PHYS 120
the online smartphysics prelecs are just bleh...and all he does in class is a couple of I clicker questions. His exams are waaaaayyy harder than what you'd expect from the smartphysics homework and he doesn't really do anything to prepare you for midterms -,- do NOT take PHYS with him.
Phys141
LOADS and LOAAADS of Homework/Assignment...etc etc.......Speaks for half hr..and then disappears leaving T.A behind. SmartPhysics is horrible......watch videos aint gonna help a percent.....for such a HARD HARD Course....I wrote stuff in exam.....just passed with C-....... So relieved...Smartphysics thing is over.

I think a lot of people attribute the falters of the class's parameters to Neil (e.g. the suckyness of smartPhysics and quantity of homework). I found him to be quite average in teaching effectiveness. He had a hard time with explaining some things, but this was countered by his earnestness.
PHYS102
If you have him for studio physics, drop the course and take it elsewhere. The experiments were useless and the self directed learning did nothing but muddle everyone in the class. Help was available, but but not useful, and his exams were far harder than anything we encountered in class. Do not take his class.

Horrible prof does not even bother teaching just sits there and looks at stuff on google plus leaves the entitre course to the students alongwith a ton of homework daily. Whatever you do NEVER take a class with him.
PHYS140
PLEASE do not take physics with this prof, especially if you're first year. i was not a physics major and found this class *excruciating*. bad lectures, useless help (although it is available) and tons of homework. self-directed class. drop if you have him!
PHYS140
if you plan on being a physics major, you might make it through this class. if you're taking it to fufill a lower division pre-req for a diff degree, DONT TAKE THIS WITH HIM. espec. if you're first year. exams ARE fair but you must keep up with homework (there's a lot!) lectures are horrible. hard to pay attention if you don't love physics.
PHYS121
Horrible Prof, has no idea what's going on, wastes time, doesn't teach the slides, just tells you to read them at home, when asked a question, he generally doesn't know the answer, so he replies with some off-topic thing, or asks you a question.

This professor is one of the worst instructors at SFU. I have a degree in Business and was coming back to school to complete med school pre-reqs and this guy is without a doubt the worst prof I've ever had. I ended up dropping the course. After seeing the comments from last semester, I'm really glad I did. Avoid him at all costs, he doesn't teach.
PHYS100
Great prof and he is funny. Intersting class,and the content is not very hard. Eassy to follow. Exams are fair, but with too many quizs. or maybe a bit too much hw. I like the way he teachs
PHYS100
Terrible prof, we learnt almost nothing in class yet the assignments and final were so hard
PHYS100
Worst professor ever, avoid at all costs! You will not get your money's worth from this guy.
PHYS100
Jungic? I think the guy below means Alberding. Anyways, everything else I completely agree: WORST PROFESSOR EVER!
PHYS100
Whoever gave this guy 100% is completely inaccurate (I won't be surprise if Alberding wrote that evaluation himself). Final exam average was 55% this semester! 55% for a 100-level course. Alberding is a horrible lecturer who doesn't teach. ENOUGH SAID.
PHYS100
Sorry, but I have to disagree with the evaluation below - Dr. Jungic is a poor lecturer who doesn't teach and everything you learn is self-taught. Worst prof I ever had PERIOD.
phys100
The assignments and labs are quite easy. Lectures are so so. Anyway, Neil is a good lecturer.
PHYS100
Worst. Prof. EVER. Will not teach you a thing, but will demonstrate friction by making you watch an asian guy pull a truck with his ear. Or watch Romeo and Juliet physics jokes. Did not learn a thing, except ears are strong
