Cool physics professor.

Wish i had a teacher like this:

Video is on the right.

My old physics teacher was almost that awesome.

 

[Hazar]

haha, my high school physics teacher was awesome and he did a bunch of those experiments

 

[Lizardizzle]

that reminds me of my eighth grade science teacher. lol.

first day of class: "hello, this is science"
VERY NEXT DAY: "Lets fill a one gallon paint can full of methane and blow it up in the classroom!"

 

[Teta_Bonita]

Haha, now I wish I had applied to MIT.

 

[CyberPitz]

None of my teachers were that cool.

Shit. ;(

*EDIT* WAIT I LIE!

I had a teacher, that one time we needed to trace the other person and write inside the trace the specific body parts he gave us. Well, he showed us HIS drawing and example, and, well, needless to say, it was a hermaphrodite.

Physics at my school were boring as ****, taught by a female teacher that IMHO should've retired a while ago. Few actually understood what she was trying to teach us.

 

[Druckles]

I am totally taking Physics.

Although my old physics teacher went sky diving to show us how Wind-Resistance&co. works :/

He actually makes a dutch accent sound kinda smart. :O

Yeah, we filled a huge office watercooler with methane and turned it into a pulse rocket The force of the escaping gas blew one of the ceiling tiles off.

 

[delusional]

Awesome, My Physics teacher was like that. I think Physics teachers like making students go oooooh and aaaaahhhh.

 

[Ennui]

My physics teacher did the same thing with the ball and pendulum (coming within a cm of his face) and also showed us a huge parabolic mirror that focused sunlight into a point and could light almost anything on fire.

I got a 75 yr old physics teacher at my college. He is one of the reasons why I'm pretty much miserable at my 2 yrs of college. All he does is babble and often times goes off on subject. He tries to teach Calculus rather than Physics. In Basic Geometry he tried to teach Trig instead of Basic Geometry. He shows us old 1970's films that lock-up on his laptop. He is both dyslexic and colorblind. He lies on what will be on a test. The homework has no meaning. The lab experiments are extremely pointless like measuring a can 3 times with a string. It's not gonna shorten or lengthen ffs. He just babbles on and on for about 3 hours. He talks about a fictional person who is Petes mom and compares whales to dogs. He also thinks a canon ball that is hollow with an explosive inside is not a bomb. He was the old Electronics teacher and was left over when the school shut the electronic department down. So he's not even a math teacher. If he writes anything on the board it's unreadable. The staff know how much he sucks by taking his classes. He gets surveys to give to the students but hides them so we don't get to rate him. Gonna get my first physics test back tomorrow. I'm thrilled. :hmph: My only reasoning that the college keeps him is that they don't care and he makes the college money after the students fail his courses. Oh and often times we have to correct him after he gets his own problems wrong often times. Like saying "1+1=3 err, 2" which he said in Basic Geometry. Sounds like this guy too without the stuttering:

*I just really wanted to get that off my chest. I hope he doesn't fail me because I should graduate this Spring.

Speaking of teachers/lecturers I had a relief IT teacher the other day who said to the whole class "Hey you guys wanna know a site for a good laugh, type in "Encyclopedia Dramatica" some people started looking at it then he said "a good article is the 'an hero' one." :|
