Physics 7B is hard, but Koutroulakis is a good professor. His exams were hard, and I never felt prepared for them. I think he does the best he can; the course just sucks. I hate his discussion sections, though. A 2 hour discussion section is wild and unnecessary for this class. I don't know anyone who actually likes to go to section.

Lectures are great and concepts are explained very well. The class is very organized and only topics covered in class are on the exams. The homework assignments and discussion questions prepare you well for the exams

His exams are way harder than they need to be. I'm also not a fan of the way he lectures cause he treats everything like common knowledge and doesn't explain this step by step. Also, who gives homework due right before the final? His exams were easy in 7A so idk why they're so much harder in 7B

Not too hard, not too easy. I enjoyed his class.

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
