WORST TEACHER EVER! AVOID AT ALL COST!! the only reason i got an A in this class is because i have taken it before. This guy will not teach you amything. You will be better off not going to the lecture and just reading the book. On top of this he is either too stupid or too lazy to figure out partial credit on tests, so u had better get the answer exactly.

Professor Farris is one of the nicest people you will ever know. Unfortunately, he's very new to teaching and that inexperience is why he scores so low with people. In lecture he tends to mumble a lot, is not very prepared and the demos usually don't work. The examples in class are very easy as is the homework (3-5 paper problems + 6-8 Mastering Physics, due every Friday). The tests however tend to be hard so be prepared. In lab he is very helpful but goes by the book a lot, unlike other professors who improvise from the book to shorten the lab. So if you ever take a lab with Farris, expect to be there the full 3 hours. It takes time to get used to teaching college physics. Overall, I think people here are a little too hard on him. Forgive him for being new to teaching, just choose a more experienced professor for your next physics course.

Dr. Farris is a very difficult teacher to tolerate, seemingly because he has very very little experience teaching such a small class, or maybe teaching in general. His lectures got a little better as the quarter went on so I assume he will gradually improve as a teacher, but for me, he was below average on all accounts. His tests are also very difficult in my opinion. I tried to get some personal attention from him during hi office hours one time and he took way too long to execute such a trivial problem that he made up himself! I do not recommend this teacher.

This guys is not a good teacher at all. He does not present the material clearly. He will take the entire class to do one problem and at the end you leave still not knowing what the answer is. His homework and reading assignments are the only way you learn anything. If you are good at teaching yourself then this is the teacher for you. He does not make himself clear when he asks questions and just ends up confusing the entire class as well as himself. I feel as though I have not learned anything from him, do not take this guy if you don't have to.

First off I believe this is either his first quarter teaching here or there simply was no one writing about him. After seeing the first post about Prof. Farris I felt it was my responsibility to explain my viewpoint of the class. First off this has to be the whiniest bitterest dumbest CLASS EVER! Not the professor, he is a great professor, BUT THE CLASS GETS ON MY LAST NERVE! I mean you would think they all still belonged in middle school. The reason I say middle school is because even high school kids dont act this childish in class. The day starts off as Prof. Farris tries to explain a subject and yet you hear one smart ass remark after the next from a select few that make it seem like they are the majority. With comments like what are you talking about?!, can you just tell us the answer?! or I just dont get it! I have never seen this much disrespect for a teacher in Cal Poly. The reason I say they are a select few is because theyre so F***ing loud that the silent majority just thinks to themselves about how ridiculous they are for complaining that he is trying to help us think outside the box! Text is text, if you want the answer laid out in front of you read the text! Application is where you develop your skills. Prof Farris has a great passion for trying to teach his students how to apply concepts and actually develop confidence in themselves. The students like the one who posted before me have no confidence in themselves. If they are not told right off the bat of what is right or wrong, they cry and call their mommy *I do not mean to disrespect people who find comfort in talking with their mom about problems, I do too *wink**. If you actually go to his office hours, if you ever have a question, he is more then willing to sit down and explain every application process possible and shows you solid solving strategies. Some people complain that he is not in his poffice hours when they went. Well maybe if they looked at his syllabus they would realize its not the same everyday *one person who complained showed up 2 hours before he was scheduled to be there... OF COURSE HES NOT GOING TO BE THERE!* Another thing he lets you have a full page of notes for the midterms *as Einstein said, why would I bother memorzing something I can look up in a book* i dont know about the final because i have not taken it yet. Im going to be honest I did not do well on his first midterm. But hey I studied my ass off and even went to his office hours. I know I could have done a lot better but by the luck of the draw I paniced. I see the problems as doable and actually very easy right when i got my midterm back and saw my mistakes *dam i hate it when i panic, PLUS THE AVERAGE OF THE CLASS WAS RIGHT WHERE IT SHOULD BE MEANING THAT THE TEST WAS VERY DOABLE* I put in many hours of studying and Prof Farris makes you think about aspects of the work that you couldnt nessicarily get from just reading. That thing is the confidence in what to do and how to think about physics and the universe. I cant belive someone would complain about his teaching style. What more can he do... of course, I know, read word from word from the text and give you straight forward information without rhyme or reason... thats what you wanted right? Anyways like a said a page of notes and use of calculators *of course*, great office hours, sense of humor, great application techniques oh and awesome visuals *I love those demonstrations! makes you turn in homework to keep you on the ball, doable problems in homework and midterms, curves the grades at the end of the quarter so basically what it seems like is a c is a b-a and if you get to know him *ie go to his office hour and talk about how you are studying and what you can do to improve* you realize hes a cool guy. Seemed to care that I didnt do so well on the midterm. Thats rare. Also he grades just fine on the midterm. I was disappointed in my grade but it was fair and just, I just have to work on calming myself down and applying all that I learned from his lectures. *you can even write on a seperate piece of paper in an argument for a regrade --warning-- he regrades everything so you can go down too otherwise everyone would argue for a regrade-- I think if you do the work and apply yourself and realize that physics is not the easiest course in the history of man kind, that you will get an A. Or a B, or a dam well deserved C. I get the feeling that any grade you get, you earned. Hes an awesome prof. and a good guy.

Okay, after having a class with this guy I am convinced that I can become a physics teacher overnight. Why? Because Farris sucks shit and cannot teach. He'll put up a problem on the board and be like, what do I do next? As if we were having to teach him. lol. What a fucking dumbass. How are we supposed to know what to do when he hasn't taught us? He also has a tendancy to spend an entire class period doing one simple problem. During that time, he could be going over new material. BOTTOM LINE: Tom Farris is incompetent, and it is a shame that such a jackass is teaching at Cal Poly.

ok...this guy is terrible. as said before he will take up an entire class to just do one problem and you still dont have a clue what happened! if you have to take him just bring your book to class and teach yourself, you will not get anything from him. I do feel bad because no one respects him...but seriously he needs to learn how to teach intro physics...and badly. If you are really good at physics and hate going to class...this is the guy for you because going to class will not teach you a damn thing.

Whoever approved Professor Farris in the previous posts must not be going to the lectures or has never had a good professor. Farris is by far the worst teacher I've ever had as far as teaching goes. Yes he's a nice guy and has good intentions but that doesn't help me learn or be prepared for the tests. AND JUST TO CLARIFY I HAVE NOT MISSED A CLASS ALL QUARTER. Here's a basic day of lecture: Half the students show up for class, the others have given it a shot and have decided that it's just a waste of time. Farris walks in and starts writing on the board without even saying a word. He'll assign homework or reading and then starts a problem or possibly lecture. Lecture is decent but not thorough. He'll write a problem up and say to solve it. He gives a few minutes and then whips out the notecards with students' names. The notecards are a replacement for him actually learning anyones name. Since half the class doesn't show up, using notecards and naming off people is a waste of time. When he gets someone thats actually in class they usually say something so he knows where they are or raises their hand. He has a hearing problem so theres always a lack of communication between the student and teacher. It is very common students must repeat answers or questions (even several times) until he understands what they've said. This carries into his lectures also. He talks quietly and occassionally even mumbles to himself while facing the board. He gets confused on problems and it feels like students are teaching him or at least verifying what he already knows. He starts off by asking students what answers they got on a problem. He then polls the class to see what the majority got as their answer. He leaves the problems unanswered and with students still confused. I believe the professor should have a clear answer and Farris not answering a question is not him "trying to help us think outside the box". It's just bad teaching style. Several times Farris didn't know how a demonstration worked and just gave up on using it. I like that he allows for regrades. This is necessary since he didn't grade all of them himself. Past post: It's completely unrelated that if a student doesnt have the answer they "have no confidence in themselves" or "cry and call their mommy". It's a learning style that some students like to have an answer after a problem has been solved. Past post:"If you actually go to his office hours, if you ever have a question, he is more then willing to sit down and explain every application process possible and shows you solid solving strategies." Why can't he do this in class for everyone? A student should be able to learn in class and not need to go to office hours. I decided that I wasn't happy with how class was going so I attended another teacher's class one day and it was 100% better. Teacher explaining things clearly. Teacher knowing everyone in class (he picked me out of the crowd and knew I was in none of his classes). Teacher knowing that a student hadnt turned in an assignment and calling him out on it. Students working problems out on the board. Attendance grade so students come to class. This is not as necessary though since he is a good teacher. Reading quizzes and a small amount of homework each night instead of a large amount once a week. Interaction, excitement, learning. I'm really frustrated with my class because it's a bad start to the full 3 quarters I need for graduation. Don't take Professor Farris. You'll be dissapointed. One correction: "Hes a BAD prof. and a good guy."

Well all of these post have there own points that are completely true. The post before me said that maybe that approval post has never had a good instructor for physics. This can be true. Also it can be true that indeed they have had worse professors. Of whihc I have had. Compared to some professors at cal poly Farris is actually better. I know by the looks of things it may seem hard to believe but this is indeed the case. I have had a professor that if you consider Farris as a 1 out of a 10, then this professor would be a -1982. The thing is most of these posts seems to be in the extremeties. Although I agree that his style of teaching is not flawless or helpful to everyone but it is also fair to realize that physics is more often than not one of those few classes where self preservation is the key to success. Farris is probably not the best. But he is not the worst. I have had the worst and this time around I am much happier. I guess its like be thankful for what you get. Yes this is hard to concieve but it is true. Be thankfule hes not ******** (this has been withheld because I am hoping those classes will fill up and other profs will be open in the future. Good luck and keep at it. Hes not horrible.

Ok I have had Physics before but even I did not know what he was talking about. He wastes soooo much time n stuff that isn't important. Yes he asks for our feedback on the way the class is run and then does nothing to incorporate our opinions. In his midterms he gives semi ok problems then throws something unusual into them like having wierd angles. I have learned nothing from him directly. A study group is the best way to go if you can avoid complaining the whole time. He lets you have notes but then doesn't tell anything specific about the tests. he is broad. If you go into his office hours he still won't really help you. he doesn't steer you in the right direction either. Also the hw is do before he teaches the subject so it is basically a review if you do the hw.

I have read the other evaluations and think that most of them are pretty accurate. I agree that he does try to teach and does want to teach, but i agree that he just can't do it. I would want to be a professional football player, but some things just aren't in the cards. I agree that Physics is a class that you teach to yourself by doing the work and reading the chapters, but i also think that there is a reason why we have a professor in this class. I have been to many of Dr. Farris's office hours and he has attempted to help me once in a while, but most of the time he doesn't even know how to do the problem I'm asking him about. He is a good man and he means well but if you didn't take AP Physics in high schoool and you're one of those people who actually likes a teacher to teach you, you should try to steer clear of Dr. Farris.

BADDDDD TEACHER. I think Farris' problem is that he cannot think on his feet. If you really have a question, you should email it to him coz then he has time to think about it and answer you. He can't hear either, so if you asked him a question during class you would end up asking it several times before he heard you. When he finally does get your question, he'll mumble back an answer that most of the time has nothing to do with your question. He's a nice guy, but an awful teacher. If you can avoid him, do so or be prepared to do a lot of studying on your own.

Professor Farris cannot convey the material correctly to his students. He believes that everyone already has an amazing physics background, so when he lectures in class, he just puts a problem on the board and asks his students to do it -- mind you, he has not explained any of the concepts. Some may think that this style of teaching is only productive for the students in the class, but many people cannot learn like this, and they are condemned to frustration and anger. I have no complaints for the course material -- as I have previously had physics and understand most of the material -- but I feel horrible for the rest of the people in the class with a bad physics background who only get frustrated with the lectures, homework, and tests. When we received our first midterms back, the scores ranged from almost no points to an almost perfect -- this should have been a red flag to his quality of teaching. If you can, avoid Farris at all costs [unless you already know physics, then it will be easy].

Mr. Farris is a very nice guy and isn't too bad of a professor. Many struggle in his class because they are too lazy to do the reading he assigns. In his lectures, he doesn't introduce the concepts, but rather clarifies what you read, assuming you did the reading. I was struggling a lot at first because i had no physics background and didn't really put forth the effort required to learn physics. I found that when i started actually reading the material, his lectures made a lot more sense. Basically, if you put forth the time outside of class, Mr. Farris can help you in the classroom. If not, then what everyone else says is pretty much true. I personally think he is a good professor. He also gives beyond-reasonable curves on his tests. I would reccomend him to anyone wanting to take physics.

If you're gonna be a dumbass and not read the material, don't take him. A lot of people are baggin on him because they are too lazy to do the reading, and then wonder why they don't learn anything. Its like the previous entry. The book intrduces the concepts and he builds upon it. The reason he doesn't spell out every detail is because he assumes you did the reading he assigned, and therefore should have some sort of idea of what is going on before class. I think others are way too harsh on him. I don't think there is anything outstanding about Mr. Farris' teaching abilities, but i do think that he is a good professor if you put forth some effort.

I think Mr. Farris is a pretty good professor. His lectures are kinda hard to understand if you didnt do the reading, so i reccomend if you take him, to at least breeze through the material. I have noticed that those who talk crap about Mr. Farris are the ones who generally never do the reading and/or wait until the last minute the night before to start the homework. After one of the lectures, i was walking with another guy who was in my class and he was throwing a hissy fit about how awful of a teacher Mr. Farris was and how he is failing physics because of him. I asked him if he did the reading, and he said "no". Come on now. Those who you hear talk trash about Mr. Farris are probably the ones who do diddley-squat outside of class until the night before. The bottom line is that Mr. Farris is an awesome professor, and if you aren't going to give any effort, then don't whine about how you don't learn anything. Mr. Farris is excellent and i would reccomend him for anyone taking the course.

What I want to know is how this teacher has a 1.71 right now. He is not that good. I will say the work load is alright but the difficulty of the work sucks! And it litterally has nothing to do with what we have just learned in class. His teaching sucks because when people try and understand he just gets more confusing and then starts confusing himself. Not taking physics in high school, I can say this is not the teacher. If you are good at teaching yourself from the book or already understand physics, this is the class for you.

Basically Farris is a bad teacher. We learn absolutely nothing in class so I, along with half the class stoped going to every class weeks ago. We go over problems in class that are really easy then get home and attempt to do the homework that is 10 times harder. The only way I can do some of the Homework is by guessing on the online homework because you get as many tries as you need. The tests are really hard too. He says he's going to curve them but then doesnt tell you what the curve will be just, "They will be curved at the end of the class." I failed both midterms and basicallly gave up on the class. Who cares if he is a nice guy, thats not the way to grade a teacher. He's bad any way you look at it.

Farris started out aboslutely miserably. He can't teach. He'll write a problem on the board and then ask the class to solve it. I was sick for the first midterm and got a 70 percent on that, but luckily I know my physics, no thanks to Farris and ended up acing the mid term and I'm guessing did fairly well on the final to get an A in the class. If you take Farris, though I highly recommend against, make sure you already know the material or are ready to do lots of studying. The ONE good thing about him is that he allows you unlimited attempts for fill in the blank answers on mastering physics online. This did save me countless headaches that other people in my dorm suffered constantly. As far as tests go the first midterm was hard; I'm not sure if this was just becuase I was incredibly sick. The next midterm and final weren't bad at all though and supposedly he does curve the final grade, though he is not in any way generous so I don't how much that helps.

He is definitely a below average prof. I don't think anyone would argue that. If he was one of your first at Poly, don't worry there are a lot of better ones out there. The sad thing is Farris really wants to get his points across and have an interactive classroom. Problem is, for whatever reason(s) it didn't work. I'm not into bashing a prof who seemed to try his best but I wouldn't recommend him.

A normal lecture in Professor Farris' class consisted of him wasting the first ten minutes of class, then proceeding to do a basic problem on the board for the entire duration of class. He consistently got lost in his own work on the board even in easy problems and ended up confusing himself. Class time was wasted even more when he used his own system of a stack of 3"x5" cards to call on students for answers. Since the class had such a bad attendance rate it usually took several minutes for someone to give him the answer to even a simple arithmetic problem on the board using this method. Throughout the first half of the quarter he probably told our section how he was going to change his teaching style three separate times. He wanted the class to be an open forum at first, then he made it so we had to raise our hands to talk, then changed it back. Why did he do this? I'm not sure. Did it really have an effect on the class? No, he still did simple examples just as poorly on the board. Did it waste plenty of lecture time (probably 2 or 3 half-lecture times)? Yes, it did. A weekly homework load in the class (X141) consisted of an assignment of "Mastering Physics" online, plus some workbook and book problems to turn in. It's not an overwhelming workload, but you have to get every single problem exactly right for full credit, just like a test, except his graders don't often give partial credit, even if you only missed a sign in a math problem. I highly reccomend getting ANY teacher for Physics other than Professor Farris. If you do however, be prepared for a useless lecture filled with little out-of-place catchphrases such as "the buck stops here" and "thats the clincher".

Well, he's about as interesting as a rock. Not a piece of volcanic rock or something polished by water, I mean one of those gray rocks that arent used for anything but breaking up as gravel for remote parking lots. He thinks Physics is democratic. He'll put a problem on the board, give us 3 or 4 times the time we need to do, ask for a few answers from the class, have us take a vote on which answer is right, and move on, without an answer or explanation. He uses MasteringPhysics.com which I truly believe was programmed by the Dark Prince Lucifer himself. His homework/classwork problems are easy as cake, but come midterm time, the problems are on stuff he never even tried to cover. I had to look back to my high school physics notes to get by. In office hours he would dance around questions, not answering or helping. His emails were unclear and usually left you in a worse spot than when you started. On the bright side, he lets you use a cheat sheet on all exams, so if you can work with formulas, just make a good one, ignore him entirely, and you should be fine.

Farris is one of the silliest teachers I have ever encountered. We spent the first fifteen minutes of every class voting on whether or not to change the due date for homework from monday to thursday. We voted every single class meeting, and he never did anything, regardless of how we responded. His teaching style is very much, squint at you, pretend he can hear you, and then move on. He wasn't very good at explaining concepts for a new physics student to understand. He kind of just assumed we all knew everything about physics already, which can make things difficult. He's a smart guy, but he just cannot communicate anything he wants to say. Homework is relentless, but do-able, and his tests are ok if you know a little bit about physics. But bad communicator for a first time physics class.

Farris is the worst teacher I have ever come across. You can't even call him a "teach"-er. During his "lectures" he wasted time on class structure, then after that we worked through one, maybe two problems and then an hour later class was over. His hw is not hard, a few problems out of the book (which was more useful than going to class) and then the Mastering Physics problems that are too hard for him to go over in class. He can't answer questions well, he mumbles and is hard of hearing. Avoid him at all costs!

ok...i know i got a d...but listen.... farris can NOT teach!!! in class, he would go over insanely easy material. my left flip flop could do these problems in its sleep. then... the mastering physics bent you over and....well...you can imagine!!! (not pretty) his tests were totally retarded too! random information, not covered in class. The main problem was that when we asked questions in class, he could never seem to answer them. instead, he would just redo the problem the exact same way, saying the exact same thing (assuming he even bothered to "hear" you at all.) the most frustrating thing was that i never knew where i stood in the class. I did about average on all the midterms and i was told that the curve would make my midterm grade a c. ha ha ha... right before the final exam, someone asked him to calculate our grades for us just so we could see where we were...he said "no. i just can't do that." yeah....he doesn't teach, he doesn't help...he just stands there pretending not to hear you while he imagines his students getting raped by mastering physics (i bet he enjoys the hell out of it)

FARRIS SUCKS HARDCORE...so irrational and doesn't know how to teach anything. when you ask him a question in class all he can do is say, "come to office hours" cause he doesn't even know how to do them. and when you go to office hours you're there for an hour on one problem. and he has to eventually just look and the answer key. ridiculously stupid, ignorant, deaf, slow, professor. not quite sure how he was able to make it as a prof. definitely do not take.

honestly, the fact that cal poly actually hired this guy in the first place absolutely baffles me, but more than anything, it just pisses me off because people like me sign up for these "STAFF"-taught classes hoping that maybe i would get someone decent who could actually teach me something, only to end up getting completely f**ked up the ass with a guy who made me feel like i was losing brain cells just by trying to listen to his mumbled physics talk--i would call them lectures, but that's giving him too much credit. he also wasted too much time trying to get us to participate, with that stupid stack of name cards he kept flipping through. too bad most of us who actually made it to class were too busy filling in the daily crossword puzzle to notice when our names were called. bottom line is, if you value your brain and your education (not to mention your parents' money), STAY AWAY FROM FARRIS!!!

This guy is a fucking tool. It probably takes this guy a half to tie his shoes in the morning. He doesnt know his head from his ass! all he does in class is copy the solutions manual on to the board and talk to himself. Whoever hired him to teach at cal poly probably has the IQ of mayonnaise as well. The only reason you should take this class is if you already know physics and dont require anymore teaching or if it is your last resort. once again this guy is a fucking moron, i mean grade A fuck up!
