Who is best for Physics first year?
I want to know, who you are thinking is best for Physics
  • Dr. Mckay or
  • Dr. Jopko or
  • Dr. Okon.

Ofcourse I know alll of them are qualified Professors, but I want to know, who is really good at lecturing and notes, and doing more towards exam? and really easily approachable for any questions. Thanks a lot.

I had Venus this past semester, and he was pretty good. He did a good job of explaining everything mathematically. I had Okon as a supply too once, and he was also pretty good. I have him this coming semester too.

From what I've heard from others, McKay is really good as well. The only one in there that apparently sucks is Jopko. A lot of my friends that had him didn't really like him.

I had Venus for mechanics and he did a good job with the concepts (so u did well on the Multiple choice)..but not so good on short answer. I had Jopko for 1e03 and he was the opposite of Venus lol...you do well in the short answer and slightly struggled with the multiple choice. Then i've had Okon and McKay supply...McKay did not understand a word he said and Okon was good. A lot of people like Okon. So there you go....wooo finally done exams XD!

I have Jopko, and he is pretty decent. Never really fell asleep, but then again my classes were all at 830 so that would be kind of hard.

I went to a few of George Lucas' classes. (oh my bad, meant Mckay), and I actually preferred him over Jopko, always manages to make me laugh when he does demonstrations.
