| Manuel Franco Sevilla Expecting a B admin 12/14/2024 | Amazing guy just on all counts, great teaching great slides great everything. I have gone through the Physics Gauntlet from 171 onwards here and I can confidently say he is the best professor I have had so far. my grade is low but thats my fault, i realized I just dont have it in me to become a physicist if I cant get a good grade with this guy but those who get the material will find the class pretty straightforward |
| Manuel Franco Sevilla PHYS410 Expecting an A admin 12/04/2024 | Pros: -Lecture slides were detailed and contained basically everything you needed for the course -Taylor was a good textbook choice -I thought homeworks were reasonable length and useful for understanding the course material -In class exercises helped reinforced content that was just covered and served as a small grade booster -Dr. Franco Sevilla was a really cool professor and wanted to ensure everyone understood classical mechanics Cons: -Dr. Franco Sevilla ABSOLUTELY FLEW through the lecture slides. It was hard to keep up sometimes. This was probably a consequence of the class moving from 4 credits to 3 credits, so unless the curriculum is shifted, the pace of the class will be quick -Exams, while the content was fair, were a little too long to be completed in 75 minutes unless you were flawless I liked Dr. Franco Sevilla and would recommend him for PHYS410 in the future. |

It may not be indicative of a regular semester. | Occasionally lectures have some clarity problems, but overall a very well-structured and well-done course. HWs are challenging but thoughtful and designed to improve students' understanding of the content. Franco Sevilla puts a lot of effort into his class and is easily accessible and receptive to questions/concerns/etc. Truly cares about physics and about his students. |
