Great charismatic professor. The midterm and tests were very fair, but there was lots of homework. With that being said, however, if you did all the homework you would be well prepared for exams. Would take Paul again.

Overall well structured class that goes more surface level on a higher number of topics than other 7 series courses. Class is structured well, homework is extremely annoying and tests are easy. Lectures had lots of blackboard derivations that were hard for me to follow.

His lectures were pretty boring but overall the class was structured quite well for how many topics there were to cover. The midterm and final were fair and he did his best to help everyone by sliding the grading scale. Homework became really annoying for the modern physics part.

This was his first class lecturing and he started off not so great, but as the quarter went on he got better and by the end he was a great professor. Homework and office hours helped a lot on the exams. Didn't give enough time on 2 midterms but plenty on the final.
