Hard class for the not so mathematicaly inclined. Dr. Phil really cares about his students. Hours upon hour of studying and going to his office is the only reason I got an A.

Really nice guy and wants you to do well, but the material is really tough especially if you're not physics minded.Teaches and talks really fast, but if you go see him, he does as much as he can to help. He uses clickers so you have to go to class.

Dr. Sprunger is far by one of the best professor that I've ever taken at LSU. He is very helpful and informative both inside and outside of class. His tests are very challenging but it prepare you for future tests such as the GRE, MCAT, DAT, etc.

Sprunger makes this class extremely hard and most of his test questions came out of nowhere. Not a good teacher at all.

Sprunger tries to make the tests as hard as possible even though this class is for "physic nonmajor." He often spend like forty minutes on pointless demos and then spend the remaining ten minutes rushing through the important materials.

I didn't learn any thing in his class. He goes so fast that I have no idea what he's saying. Get ready to teach yourself.

Review #9 / Course: PHYS 2101 / Instructor: SPRUNGER P
He's the worst teacher ever! He alway assumed that you know everything and doesn't give you any chance to ask questions copy down the notes. Also, his tests is completely different from the homework and lecture.

Review #10 / Course: PHYS 2001 / Instructor: SPRUNGER P
This was one of the worse teacher I've ever taken. I missed only one or two questions on each of the exams and barely made it our with a B in the class. Also, he doesn't curve even thought the class average was like a 52%.

By far the worst class of my college career. Way too much time required and your understanding of physics must be superior!

toughest course in lsu history! Exams are hard, lectures are totally irrelevant. Mr. Sprunger is the worst. Talks real fast and solves unrelated problems and talks about unimportant things. He never cares for his students. stay away!!!!!!!!

This man is the worst teacher ever! The material is pretty hard and this man doesn't know how to teach it to students who've never seen the material before! Talks 50 miles per hour too--DON'T TAKE HIM!

Sprunger is one of the best physics teachers I've had here at LSU. He is very concise and clear in his lectures and more than willing to help with any questions.

Dr. Sprunger is a very good teacher, as Physics teachers go. Yeah, he does talk fast, but guess what: ITS PHYSICS 2101THERES A LOT TO COVER. No tricks on his tests, and he does care about his students.

he must of got his teaching degree from sesame street univeristy because all he does is resite the notes on internet(and talks way too fast). the only reason to go to class is for his quizzes, get ready to teach yourself, or go see jaih(the tutor)
