2 or less hrs/week

used to be super hard, and then they changed the format so now its super easy and everyone gets an A

Some of the class lectures were a a bit fast-paced and confusing at times but if you put in the time and effort you should be able to learn the material and do well. Ogliore is accommodating and also available during office hours if you have questions. He cares about his students and also did his best to make sure we got the most out of lectures.

Never met the professor once, only interaction was a rude email response. Most of the lab AIs are super nice and provide lots of advice on lab reports. However, when the lab reports are graded, the graders look for things that above and beyond what was taught in lab. Rubric is very unclear. Must have an almost perfect lab report to receive an A.

The only interaction you will have with Professor Ogliore is by email. For the course as a whole, though, I would suggest being thorough in everything. If you think a report good enough to submit, take another 30 min to an hour to go through and be sure that everything is in the right place and that you clearly articulate everything.

Expectations for lab reports were never made clear and graders were inconsistent about how many points were deducted for the same error because there wasn't a standard rubric. A lot of this class is hoping that you get a nice grader and learning what they want based on point deductions on previous reports. Content barely aligns with 191 lecture.

Never met him once through the whole semester of the class. Grading criteria for the lab reports was never clear. He would often take points off for things that were clearly included. Reports take a significant amount of time to write despite a lack of guidance. Grading comments were often excessively rude and not helpful at all for improvement.

To be blunt, this class sucks. the AIs are super pushy and annoying since they think everyone chooses to take this class rather than It just being a requirement for most premeds. The grading is hard considering the sheer lack of guidelines. office hours do not help. physics AIs know nothing about the grading and are not helpful in office hours

This man is completely absent from the class he teaches. Literally never met him once but by the way he instructs the physics lab department I can't imagine he would be a good professor. This class is unnecessarily difficult and you're entirely on your own for the whole thing.

Lots of lab report. Very stupid word count policy and obscure grading criteria. The professor himself NEVER shows up during any class time.

ridiculous course

Interacted with Ogliore once, nice enough. The class, however, is terrible. Instructions are unclear at best, grading is inconsistent between graders and the LAI's instructions, the first midterm was difficult with little study material provided, and I hated the three hours per week in class. Try to vomit every little detail on lab reports.

Ogliore is interesting. The lab is definitely ridiculously hard but Ogliore himself is nice. I reached out twice about confusion and the first time was meh but the second time I met w him in person and he's very nice! Even reached out to me before the last test to make sure I was doing alright. I would give Ogliore a 4/5 but the class a 2/5.

I took Physics Lab during Fall of 2021 under this professor and the lab was extremely unfair in terms of grading as a large part of your grade is based on the groups you get. There was no teaching and not enough preparation material for the Physics Post Lab Quizzes, and the Professor did not answer any of my emails.
