01/11/2018		Professor Rolston is a fantastic professor. I wasn't sure what to expect from PHYS105, but I seriously learned a lot about contemporary climate issues. Professor Rolston did an amazing job teaching and explaining all the concepts. He grades very fairly and does everything he can do to facilitate your learning.

Tests were hard, yes, but they were either open book or take home. hes also the director of the JQI (joint quantum institute), meaning he really knows his stuff.

Very knowledgeable, presents material in very straightforward way. The class was absolutely amazing and I would recommend it to almost anyone who wants to know how to make a difference in this world-there was a lot of interesting stuff presented, and I'm really glad I took it.
