I really liked how the professor included multiple demonstrations in every lecture, they really helped illustrate complex points. Lectures themselves have very little application though, and if you miss class the slides are very little help. Homework problems are of similar difficulty to tests, so do them with intention and you will succeed.

Super hard if you've never taken physics before— he was a nice professor tho. Tests are basically the same as the examples he does in class, but are still difficult.

Super chill dude, lectures were nice and helped make the content much more intuitive. Midterm + Final make up basically ur entire grade but grading scheme is very generous. first time taking physics but he made it pretty digestable. only con i could point out is the 2 hour sections, which are just unnecessary imo

George is a great professor and cares deeply about his students. He used experiments to demonstrate concepts and explained how to succeed in the class.

Profesor Koutroulakis was a great teacher. The midterm and final were straightforward, and the class was very manageable. It's an easy A if you consistently do the homework, complete the section worksheets, and put in effort during class.

Dudes lectures are out of this world amazing. Can't stress enough though how important it is to do EVERY pre-lecture assignment and attend section/lecture for credit. I would've gotten an A but I didn't do two pre-lecture assignments which humbled me. The concepts aren't too hard to grasp and this course is easier than C Mech imo. Great class.
