Most Helpful Review
He taught the required material really well if you can work hard in trying to understand the material. You can get a good grade if you study hard enough and try to ask TA to help you. One thing about his class is that the novel (the haunted world) is the stupidest thing about the class. this book doesn't have any physics in it and it is so boring reading about a person contradicting himself; sometimes for science and sometimes not, making you so lost.

Professor Cousins is, concisely, what every college professor should be. His lectures are both articulate and comprehendable; when a mistake or complication comes up in class, he is sure to clarify it in an email or in the following class period. His handouts, homeworks, midterms, and finals are all very well integrated with the lecture and reading material; no question is trivial or beyond the scope of the course, and each reinforces key ideas presented in lecture. Personally, I found him very friendly, knowledgable, genuinely concerned with student learning, and occassionally humorous. In my 4 years as a physics major, I have never been so interested, nor have I ever learned so well in any class as I did in his physics 126 class. If you are concerned with receiving a fair shake, and a real opportunity to learn well, Professor Cousins is THE professor to consider.
