Feedback from Dr. Piccioni's 2011 Students Classes: " A World without Einstein & "Our Universe, the Known & Unknown" "Class was wonderfully organized. Excellent power point presentations. Ample time for questions." "Loved the class and the instructor" For a person who knew very little on the subject of Einstein I am amazed how easily I was able to follow this course." "Beautifully organized. VERY challenging!!!!!" "I found the class interesting and challenging. I knew very little detailed information about Einstein had no idea the impact of his discoveries on our modern world. I learned quite a bit about physics and how the world works. He challenged me to learn more." "1) Dr. Piccioni seems to have knowledge of the topics he discussed that rival some of the leading lights of science. Yet... 2) Dr. Piccioni has a gift of being able to simplify, without over-simplifying, these very complex topics. 3) Some of the students seemed very knowledgeable and asked excellent questions. This gave Dr. Piccioni the opportunity to explain topics that he had previously covered in a new way that enhanced all of our understanding. 4) At the beginning of each class, Dr. Piccioni spent adequate time reviewing the previous session. This was very helpful, because it gave us a second chance to comprehend complex topics and also it gave us a chance to ask questions to clarify points that we may have not fully comprehended." "Dr. Piccioni is one of the finest lecturers I have ever encountered. He is well organized, presents material with enthusiasm and clarity and was patient with answers to questions." "Wonderful instructor. Very knowledgeable. Able to make very difficult material interesting and exciting." "Lectures were well prepared with appropriate illustrations and graphs to explain the subject being presented." "Very clear explanations. Instructor superb." "Professor Piccioni always made the subject accessible to us laymen.." "Brilliant--certainly so by my standards." This was a great course. It was empowering- I almost feel that I understand relativity. "The instructor was extremely knowledgeable, communicated well, and in particular never seemed to find questions trite or silly. That was really impressive." "The instructor was outstanding. He knows so much but was able to present difficult information in a way we could understand it. He always introduced his topics and then repeated what we had covered. He answered all our questions and never made us feel that a question was too small. He was very encouraging and approachable. He also encouraged us to contact him on email if we had further questions." Class: " A World without Einstein" 2010 "As stated by the instructor "Nobody gets it the first time. This is very difficult subject mattter." "Fabulous! I learned that I knew so little, however I learned so much!" Some physicists cannot convert their language to ours.  Dr. Piccioni was masterful in this skill set.  It made the class." "I highly recommend this class and think I would benefit from taking it again.  Very intelligent, highly qualified instructor who loves his subject enough to try and communicate it to his students." This course has not only expanded my knowledge of Einstein, phyics, and the universe but also expanded my conception of myself in the universe. I am reminded that there are serious questions to ask about our existence on this planet, and it's worth one's time to study what physicists have discovered. Thank you for teaching this difficult subject. Great!" "Dr. Piccioni encouraged questions which made the course very interesting." "Magnificent class and a superb instructor.  Just excellent!" "Wow-Exceptional teacher - great class - thank you!" "Outstanding fundamentals and appreciation to present technology.  History of both macro and micro theories were informative and beautifully explained. Very exciting course." "Meaty topics taught with enthusiasm. Great course, appropriately challenging." "It's a difficult subject, one which I don't fully understand, but can appreciate greatly after taking the course." "This was an excellent class and expanded my knowledge and stimulated my curiosity tremendously." "Dr. Piccioni was energetic and brilliant - inspiring to be in this class."
