Good professor and conducts the lab well. Sometimes I think the grading was a bit harsh but for assignments that really mattered (big lab report, presentation, etc) it was fair.

I absolutely hated physics labs until I took 276 with Professor Clark. Sitting at a computer for 4 hours every week was difficult, but Professor Clark made it a lot more tolerable. I really felt like I was able to connect everything I learned from 272 to 276 since he would have a mini lecture at the beginning of every class. He seems like he really cares about his students and their wellbeing; he would ask us how we were doing and really seemed like he wanted to help us through assignments and labs. I thought I wanted to be a theorist until I took lab with Professor Clark, so I highly recommend taking 276 with him!

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.

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.

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.

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.
