Student opinions[edit]
You learn from Richardson. If you want to learn physics from someone who makes themselves accessible and approachable, he's great. He has crazy fingernails, which might scare you at first, but then you realize it's just a manifestation of his cool ass wizardry skills. Also, he likes to play computer games. In 2004 we convinced him to come play Counterstrike with us in Cooper. Definitely a great guy.
Robyn: I loved Dr. Richardson, not only did physics make sense when he taught it, i almost came close to liking it. He writes your tests at 6 in the morning for an 8 am class after staying up all night playing computer games so don't be surprised if you think he didn't give you enough info to do a problem (you're probably right, just ask), and yes those are his real finger nails. he's got a good sense of humor and will take time to make sure you understand what he's talking about, he'll even spend several minutes arguing the laws of calculus and physics calculus with you.
