## What students said

Reviews are shown without their authors' names.

- **PHYS 200 · 2020-08** — Very easy course and I recommend to take it with Mr. Samih

- **PHYS 200 · 2020-08** — Easy course and the instructor is good too..

- **PHYS 210 · 2019-08** — Samih takes his time explaining and he's very jenerous with grades

- **PHYS 210 · 2019-08** — my cousin is a finished a physics major and recommended I go with christidis, she said he's better in explaining, btw, I'm going physics major too, but isber is still a good teacher, so it's not much of a difference

- **PHYS 210 · 2019-08** — Phys 210 with Isber is the easiest. The exams are moodle based which might be hard to some people, but the material is fairly simple. There are some graded homeworks every now and then but they are fairly easy. Some extra studying is recommended for exam 2 and final. When preparing for the exams solve as much previouses and test banks as possible since almost 50% of the exams are from previouses and test banks.

- **PHYS 210 · 2019-08** — I found his lectures to be actually useful, unlike what most others would probably say. Anyways, the exams are somewhat tricky but if you understand the test material and concepts you won't have a hard time getting a good grade (70+ is considered good since there would probably be a raise, and by raise I mean a HUGE raise
