Hey guys,

So I am in a little dilemma about this new semester. I have to choose a teacher for my physics 2 class but i have no idea which one to pick. Now, I have done a cons and pros list, but I still cant come to a decision. I have a busy semester with microbio and DATs. I commute so driving is not a big deal, but I don't want to be pumping gas every other day. I also called Registration Office and they said it does not show up on my transcript that I took a class at a different campus. I don't really this matters much, but still. Any help would be appreciated.

Teacher 1
Overall Rating: 4.8 Easiness: 4.1
-on main campus
-Finish day by 5 everyday.
-Possible LOR, Assistant physics head or something
-Ratings all say he is a great/fantastic teacher. None of them say he is easy or anything though.
-the reviews are slightly old (Winter '10)

Teacher 2

Overall rating: 3.5 Easiness: 4.4
-on a different campus ( 30 mins trip from main campus, but it is 10 mins away from my house.)
-Finish by 7:30 or 8:30 depending on the day.
-People say his exams are his practice exam questions with different numbers.
-All the newest reviews (summer '11) say he is harder than before but still good to take.
-This is kind of stupid point. However, one of my friends is taking the class and he ALWAYS gets screwed with teachers. He has never had a good teacher for any science class. Even if they get great ratings, they get harder that semester.

How the H would we know, if we've never had these professors before? Just pick one. Or, sit in both classes and see who you like better. It's not that hard.
