Very very scattered. Theme of the class: "here, I am just going to write this and we will accept it as true." The course material is covered very poorly. Additionally, he is a rather harsh grader, and is vert stingent with partial credit. The upside, well, he is a funny guy who is way overly energetic and thus funny to watch. But because of that he is ver difficult to follow. Good luck!

I actually hated his class in the beginning, it just felt so long and boring. but O'neill's teaching style really grew on me and it quickly became my favorite class to go to. he is quite energetic and passionate about the material, and relates it to the real world well. a likable guy. if you take good notes in class and participate and ask questions then you should have no problem.

This guy is great. His lectures are interesting and he will randomly make a cheesy joke that keeps the class engaged. The only downside I can think of for his class is that he uses MasteringPhysics. The problems from MasteringPhysics are almost identical to the problems on his midterms and final. But the homework is optional, if you don't do it your final is worth 55% rather than 45%. I guess that could be a downside or an upside as well. You don't really know your actual grade till after you go back home for break. For me it was a pleasant surprise. I got a 44% on the first midterm and then followed that up with a 90%. I must have done pretty well on the final considering I got a A- in the class. I would take this guy hes cool

Missed the first day, went to the second day. Went to the midterm. Went to the Final. Three days of class total. I got a B, easy. This kind of shit gives our school a bad name.
