In my personal experience, attending Dr. Filippenko’s lectures over the past decade, I don’t see any validity to the derisive comments made. I’ve talked him numerous times and have seen only a patient willingness to teach and share his passion: he has a rich sense of humor, which - if you’re not familiar with it - might seem snarky or sarcastic, but he’s truly a good person and perhaps the best teacher I’ve ever had in 11 years of college and university study.
I really love Prof Alex Filippenko. I don't know him personally but through you tube videos he simplifies Astronomy in layman's terms. I wish to meet him one day in Carlifonia...
You're fantastic lecturer and above all outstanding professor. Thanks to your teachings now I even more enjoy cosmology. Looking forward to your new lectures. All the best Sir.
I bought Fillipenko's Great Courses series on Black Holes, and loved it. I am an old timer, I sat in the front row for Carl Sagan's presentation on Halley's Comet at Princeton in '85, rubbed elbows with many great astronomers and astronomy writers and lecturers. Fillipenko is one of my favorite lecturers. That's just my humble opinion, based on decades of experience
Aw he didn’t deserve any of those bad reviews! Alex is amazing!!! I don’t know how anyone can’t like this dude. Don’t listen to them Alex they sounded like jokes anyway!
I have watched carefully Prof. Filippenko's lectures on The Great Courses, and found his lectures outstanding. Do not know how anyone can write negative comments about his teaching.
The 1931 King Kong of professors, who had a thing about the love of beauty. Oh, one of my favorite put downs: He's a self-made man, and worships his creator
Hey Alex I've never been to one of your lectures in person, but I have watched many hours of your lectures on the Great Courses and RUclips. I must say I love your lectures and your weird personalty! I am the type of guy that you would more than likely not asosicate with in school or even today. Not that this is a bad thing, just we would not run in the same circles. I am a hard working, hard drinking, foul mouthed person with an opinion that would rather go to fistacuffs then debate. I quite school very early and went to work as a construction worker. I have done very well financially and in life. I learned all I know from books and now then Internet. I bought a book 20 yrs ago at a garage sale for a quarter. If was a paperback book on Relativity. That book had an illustration of a light clock. That was the image that allowed me to understand how time delusion was possible. (Not understand why, just that it was really happening) Since then I have learned much more about the physical world we live in. Thanks in part from your fantastic lectures on Great Courses and RUclips. Of all my Great Course courses (I have a bunch!) and the instructors you are one of my favorite. So much so that I now search for your lectures on youtube and other forms of media as well. I personally would have enjoyed to have you as my professor when I was in school. Good Luck!
Alex is a smart man I have watched him in many space and the universe documentrays and I think he explains things very well keep up the good work you do Alex ✌🇬🇧👍
“Second Coming of Christ “ 😆. It would be better if we get the chance to see a clip for each professor’s lecture and then listening to the reviews. That’s fair.
Have no fear Alex - as an octogenarian who watches every lecture you have on YT and the Great Courses, bear this in mind regarding your detractors: “It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.”
Being weird enduring and enthusiasm and and geniuses are not bad I would never insult you. Female leader with powers because the world isn't ruled by masculines and we can be equal in intelligence and more as them. Should be recognized too but dicing and slicing because of uniqueness is a downer. He smiling. Good luck. You're awesome.
I mean to be fair ratemyprofessor is made for students not teachers. It doesn’t really make sense to give constructive criticism, bc that’s not your audience
Alex you aren't Yasuah at least. I can't stand that name. That's creepy to me. Do to my family and bad parents insulting me so much. Still do. Be awesome you are. You're not creepy in any way. Be yourself. ✨🎇👑 That's what I do too💪💎👑💪😎👸😎♾🔺🔑✨🎇. You're inspirational🤝💎

He is the my favorite scientist. I am not even at Berkeley, I just love watching videos with him talking about astrophysics
Hey I think your are in my stat 20 class lol
ik im a year late, but would def recommend he's the best teacher I've ever had.
@@ahtheuncertainty2125 well said mate👍

I like the way you share with us the knowledge- Thank you very much
This guy is a true LEGEND!

I love watching him on The Universe. He smiles no matter what he talks about!
He seems like such a sweet man! He just looks so wholesome
Was going to take his class freshman year, saw that a lot of people said it was a hard class.Will most likely PNP it as an upper classman.

Did they want or expect Jesus Christ to teach introduction to general astronomy?
Came as a female. Over 38 years ago. I don't like the name. I just want to be myself thanks.
@@roselightinstorms727 ...what?
Lol...well, when it comes to astronomy I need to be treated like a 10 hr old...maybe a 5 year old. Lol. You come highly recommended by a friend.
Legend 🌟
I have my final for this next week lol
Alex is great and I don’t think he should get this kind of reviews
I’d have loved to have been taught by you, some people are better off in agriculture, wouldn’t worry about it.
take care what do you eat lately and where
I mean to be fair ratemyprofessor is made for students not teachers. It doesn’t really make sense to give constructive criticism, bc that’s not your audience
not the second coming of Christ? Not interested...
Alex you aren't Yasuah at least. I can't stand that name. That's creepy to me. Do to my family and bad parents insulting me so much. Still do. Be awesome you are. You're not creepy in any way.
Be yourself. ✨🎇👑
That's what I do too💪💎👑💪😎👸😎♾🔺🔑✨🎇.
You're inspirational🤝💎
What a geek
