Charles Whitten
Most Helpful Review
A good professor knows the material- but not very interesting to those who have taken AP Physics. The material will feel redundant. Tests are very similar to the homework-- he is VERY nit-picky on the homework- EXTREMELY picky- be sure to check it over well. Not good not bad--Lectures aren't super-vital-- doing practice problems is.

Whitten is perfectly harmless. His enthusiasm is infectious, which is nice but not that useful. I ended up going to the physics workshop to ask questions and do examples. The course is quite challenging, but it's not the hardest. Homeworks come straight out of Giancolli (which isn't the most clear textbook ever made). I would recommend asking the TA for help and going to the workshops rather than putting too much effort into de-coding Whitten's lectures.
