Most Helpful Review
I did not think Prof. Gruner was an effective teacher, or that Physics 10 with him was a gratifying experience. He glossed quickly over concepts and most importantly didn't solve any example problems, so many people who understood the concepts didn't know how to apply them when the first midterm rolled around. As a result, the curve in the class was ridiculous, and I felt like I got an A just for putting ink on paper. In general, I don't think he cared much about this class, as he never knew basic details about the homework assignments like where to turn them in or when they were due, and never cared to post test result statistics. Sadly, the best thing to happen in this class was him leaving for two weeks. This gave Erika, one of his grad students, a chance to teach the class. She was very animated and engaging, broke concepts down and spoon-fed them to us, and did sample problems so we actually knew how to apply them. If she had taught the whole quarter, I think I would have gotten much more from the class.
