  At the time, I thought the class was very tough for freshman level, but now I appreciate it and can say I've got down the material well. Its tough material that was hard for someone like me who had never seen it before, but I thought his methods helped in the long run.

  Dr. Meyer has a awesome personality and amazing at his lectures. Goes into detail of what to expect and gives leeway for many assignments and other items. Yeah you have quizzes every Tuesday and Thursday but they add up to boost your grade.

  I took his problem solving class, and it definitely wasn't a waste. Meyer does a great job at helping you think in the mindset of a problem solver. The lessons you learn in this class will help you no matter what field you go into.

  Easily one of the best professors I've had. This is the quantitative problem-solving course and was my favorite class this semester. He is really funny and teaches you to solve difficult problems in new ways while letting you do most of the thinking. As long as you show up and try your best, you will succeed in this class. Highly recommend.

  One of my favorite professors on campus. I was not very good at chemistry, but he goes into detail on how to work around the problem. He takes the time to explain how to do the problems. He gives helpful advice on what to know for the midterm and the final exam. He lets you collaborate with other students for quizzes and enjoys giving credit.

  I've only taken the problem-solving course with him but he is an amazing human! He is very encouraging and his goal is to make you a better learner and thinker. One of the best professors I've had for sure. Don't be afraid of the other reviews - he cares so much about what he does and truly is inspiring.

  He doesnt grade your exams, but I never feel like I learned a lot in lecture. He doesnt do enough problem solving and when he does do problem solving, he doesnt explain every step. Theres not another option for PHY-151, so Id recommend taking it somewhere else.

  Took physics for sciences n engineers but this was the worst class. we met once a week for a new unit every week, and an exam every Friday. Meyer is so bad at teaching, he just rambles and then switches problems halfway through, writes half of the problem on the board and says good enough, barely teaches. one day to learn a new unit before the exam

  One of the best professors I have ever had. He doesnt care about your grade along the way, he wants you to learn the material. If you put forth effort and show him youre trying your best. You will always do fine in Dr Meyers courses.

  Just cares about making money. He publishes his own books, the university buys his books off him, and pays him to teach the class. Not to mention the books do not get proof-read, there were tons of errors in the books. Some of the problems did not work out and there was no answer sheet to check answers. Expect to go to tutoring bc he won't help.

  Does not clarify concepts, expects students to know what and how to look for things. Just gives problems without explaining the relationship clearly. Means well and is very intelligent, but will ridicule you for not immediately understanding what is going on in the problem. If you want to understand the general concepts take an intro class prior.

  Took a class with Dr. Meyer because it was a mix of physics and WWII history. The first half of the class was mostly physics and chemistry based and was difficult. The second half was more history and was easy for me. Gives a quiz just about every class but they are on what he just lectured about. Attendance isn't mandatory which is nice. Good prof

  This class was the hardest class of my life. Harder than any chem class and anatomy. He is so experienced with the material that he cannot explain it to people who haven't taken physics in years. He also makes you feel stupid if you don't understand the way he is teaching it. I don't recommend this class to anyone.

  There are no words to describe how frustrating this "professor" is. Unless you are a natural at physics or have the impeccable ability to teach yourself, DO NOT TAKE A CLASS WITH THIS MAN. All he does is test you over things he doesn't bother to teach.

  Meyer is awesome. Nice guy, good sense of humor. Makes physics quite interesting. Just show up everyday cause he gives quizzes almost every time and they are easy points cause they are always what you just went over in class. He makes fun of the annoying people who don't STFU which means I have even more respect for him. Smart man take this class.

  This class was challenging but Meyer really knows his content. Lecture is fast paced and there are weekly tests and exams. He provides many opportunities for make up exams & is available during physics help sessions twice a week. As long as you know the concepts by the final, you'll be fine.
