Lectures are just repetitions of the topics covered in the pre-lecture videos, so the lectures feel really redundant. I studied for 2 weeks doing all the available problems multiple times and even generated new ones. Still felt really unprepared for whatever that final was. passed tho

If you're looking for a professor who is more concerned with his status within the Physics department than he is with working with actual students, you've found the one! Be prepared to study with very minimal resources and the possibility of complete curveball exams where he ramps up the difficulty to "even out the curve"...

If you want a good GPA, avoid at all costs

Take Geller if you want to make your life difficult. grade is HW and 2 exams. The practice exams are not at all similar and you're going to see questions you've never seen before in your life. It is VERY DOABLE- hw is ok, exam is mostly questions u can figure out, but so much worse than it should be. Save urself the Geller bs- take Freund.

The midterm is easy, but the final is hard. He will try to mislead you with the formula sheet, giving many equations, but you will only use half of them. Ask around to find out what is important. The hardest part of the class is finding out what to study and finding practice problems. Started the quarter off by talking rudely about Prof. Freund.

. He doesn't have the etiquettes a UC Professor should have. Be more accessible to students.
