Mechanics is not the hardest physic's course and therefore most teachers would do job. Manuel is cool and nice to talk to, he seems to like physics himself and I felt welcomes around him. I don't think he is the best teacher for people struggling in physics because he doesn't have great course structure and doesn't follow precise guidelines, meaning that he doesn't have nice pdf's available. The clickers (multiple choice questions) can seem kinda goofy or funny, but they are the same questions that are present in his tests so take them a bit seriously.

Do the practice clicker questions in class: they’re annoying, but understanding them will save your butt (Mechanics)
