Although his lecture is somehow disorganized and kind confusing. He gives extremely useful practice test and you can really learn something from them. And remember do them carefully before the test. You will be thankful. Also, unlike other Professors, Patterson doesn't really focus on math, so don't worry about calculation . Understand concepts.
Very intuitive lectures for quantum mechanics, with hard homework and section problems that did prepare me for exams. TA were great as well!
Patterson is one of the best professors in the physics department. Although the homework is pretty difficult and long, he makes office hours accessible for anyone (so many TAs). Great guy and tries to make QM understandable, you can tell he really loves the subject. Make sure to understand all the homework and you'll be fine on the exams.
My favorite prof at UCSB. Go to office hours.
