Pretty chill, just a standard physics course. Everything is clear about what you will be tested on and the homework is plenty to prepare.

The midterm and final were pretty reasonable and the workload was fine. The curved grading scale was really nice. You might have to put in a lot more effort if you've never taken physics before.

I strongly disliked the class structure. The homework was tedious: weekly assignments and a pre-lecture assignment before every class. Also, the class goes by too slow for people who have done mechanics, and too fast for everyone else. The professor is fine and the grading is very generous. I took this class P/NP and aimed for 57.5%. 87.5% is an A.

Lecture videos were okay. She is probably the worst communicator I have ever tried to work with at UCSB. TPS responds quicker.

Great teacher, but the class material is difficult. Go to her office hours and PRACTICE!!

Great at explaining concepts and gives useful example problem at the end of every lecture. Posts lecture slides before class. Has a prelecture assignment every lecture and homework due every sunday. Exams are hard, but it's physics lol. Grading is lenient, if you get a 52.5% in the class you pass.
