Had him in mechanics, he was great. He's as good as it gets. Super organized classes and clear explanations. He's really understanding and will find different approaches to explain something if you don't understand. This man cares about his students. Multiple choice questions can be a bit tricky in exams but if I could, I would 1000% retake him. (he's also bilingual so if you have a hard time with some physics vocab you can always ask him)

I had Mr. Batista for the semester of fall 2021 in mechanics at Vanier and he was literally the best physics teacher I've had. His explanations were great and you could ask him anything without being judged. His class was organized but self-studying is definitely required. Always make sure to get your questions answered or else you'll be confused. He definitely pushed me towards a career involved with physics. He's super nice and will spend hours helping you understand something. :)

(Cours en ligne - Électricité et magnétisme) Les exercices donnés nous préparent bien aux examens. Il prend soin de savoir si tu as compris son explication ou non. Il est rare de trouver des profs aussi attentionné que lui. N'hèsitez pas à lui poser toutes vos questions! Le seul désavantage est que ses examens sont sur 33 à 42 points. Il faut donc faire moins de fautes possibles. Bref, je recommande fortement de prendre ce prof. Aimable et gentil, il rend la matière moins compliquée.
