Review #3 / Course: PHYS 2101 / Instructor: DITUSA J
Ditusa is definitly the man for this class. He is very helpful during office hours, and runs a homework help session the night before homework is due. Do yourself a favor and give this class 100% from day one and it wont be too hard.

Review #4 / Course: PHYS 2101 / Instructor: DITUSA J
Dr. Ditusa is probably the best professor for PHYS 2101. He is interesting, and is good at explaining concepts. PHYS 2101 is a lot of work, but Ditusa at least makes it interesting.

Review #5 / Course: PHYS 2102 / Instructor: DITUSA J
Class is extremely difficult. Ditusa is a good guy and knows the material. His only downfall is that he uses powerpoint and the lectures aren't available outside of class.

Ditusa is a great guy and made the course interesting but the exams were killer. Be sure to study old exams and homeworks. He's willing to help outside class if u have the time

Review #8 / Course: PHYS 1202 / Instructor: DITUSA J
Ditusa nice guy and a very good professor. Well spoken, very descriptive, never gets aggrivated, not bossy, and always willing to help you. The material is wicked, but Ditusa does his job well. Tests are generally straightforward, no surprises.

The tests get really hard as the semester nears the end, but he's a really nice guy and provides a generous curve for your final grade.

Review #10 / Course: PHYS 2102 / Instructor: DITUSA J
Very good teacher, was willing to tutor anyone after class ans help with problems, extension on homeowrk were given as well, only bad thing is he waits till the end of semester to curve grades, but rarely gives below a C if you actually do all work

Review #11 / Course: PHYS 2203 / Instructor: DITUSA J
You should only take modern physics if you need it. With that said, Dr. Titusa is an excellent teacher who is willing to spend lots of time outside of the classroom to help you. Very interesting course.
