He really seems to care that the students learn it. I never saw him make anyone feel stupid for the questions they asked, and he's very, very approachable in his office hours. He's a cute ole man, and there's moments in his lecture when his humor comes through. Most of the time though, his lectures are a little dry, and a lot of the difficulty of the class is just in doing enough problems. Still, he's clear on what he wants you to know. This is another of those classes where it's important not to fall behind. (If you can fit the PDP workshops into your schedule, they're really helpful! Highly recommended.)

A decent professor who does a good job at getting the point of the material across, through examples and by answering any questions students have. He sometimes did in class quizzes which were really just "are you paying attention?" type quizzes, but they helped reinforce what we were learning. He is very reasonable about due dates of homework and in grading exams - one midterm there wasn't enough time for, the other was really easy, and the final was probably a little long as everyone stayed the entire 3 hours. The only annoying part of the class was that there really wasn't one single book that contained everything we needed. A good course reader would have been useful, though he does post lecture notes online. All in all, Professor Igo is great for upper div physics, so don't be afraid to take him for that.
