Brian Clark PHYS276 Expecting an A Anonymous 03/30/2024	Without a doubt the best professor I have had at UMD. He is 3 standard deviations above the norm when it comes to how he conducts his class.
Brian Clark PHYS276 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/28/2024	I took this course in spring 2023, and I wanted to check to make sure Dr Clark still has a five star rating since he is a truly amazing professor. He stays during the entire lab and gives very helpful advice and also actively pays attention to make sure everyone understands what is going on. He also gives helpful and clear explanations at the beginning of class on the topics in the lab. To top it all off he's a super nice and friendly guy and gave all students cups at the end of the course to celebrate passing the course. Undoubtedly Dr Clark has been the best professor I've had in college, I say this now as a second semester junior.
Min Ouyang PHYS276 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/12/2023	I took circuit lab with Professor Ouyang and I literally dreaded going to class each week. As someone going into this lab with not a ton of hands on knowledge or experience with circuits, he made me feel stupid for asking questions and I had no motivation to learn the material. He is very confusing with expectations as well. We have two formal lab reports and the first one he did not communicate what he wanted at all, most people I know got a 50-60 on a major assignment. If you knew what you were doing in this lab, great, but if you didn't, good luck because getting help is impossible. I will say he is pretty understanding with sickness/missing lab so that was a plus.
Brian Clark PHYS276 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/13/2023	The BEST physics professor I have had so far. Dr. Clark really shows he cares about his students. He stayed the entire time during the labs, coming around to check in with each person. He is great at explaining things and makes sure to give timely feedback. He's also just a super friendly guy in general and gave the class PHYS276 souvenir cups with some chocolate after the final! Overall Dr. Clark is a goated professor and I would HIGHLY recommend taking any class he teaches, especially lab.

Brian Clark PHYS276 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/11/2023	Dr. Clark is a legend. He stayed the full length of the 4 hour lab. He answered questions about the labs/circuits the whole time, and his answers were clear and helpful. He also was just a really nice professor, as he was fun to talk to and he made PHYS276 a genuinely great class to take this semester. If he's teaching any sort of lab in the future, I recommend Dr. Clark wholeheartedly.
Kara Hoffman PHYS276 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/11/2014	As a course, PHYS276 was very easy. Just read and understand the pre-lab material before class and you'll have the easiest time. Dr. Hoffman, however, wasn't the most helpful professor. I found the TA to be much more useful. This class was easy, but I wouldn't take a more difficult course with her. You would be fine in the lower level labs though.
Kara Hoffman PHYS276 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/03/2013	Dr. Hoffman has a clear lack of understanding about the information taught in the class. Her tests were very difficult, and not an accurate measure of the course.
