PHYS7B . Popescu P F A Month Ago

She is a good professor and her class isn't too hard. If you try you basically can get at least an A- for sure (she gives curves and extra credit). However she has not replied to ANY of the three emails i sent her haha if you have anything just go to her office hours.

Lectures are ok but there is a ton of content and not enough time to give thorough examples so watching example problems on YouTube helps a ton. Homework takes 4-8 hours to complete if you actually want to understand it, the midterm was easy but the final was incredibly hard.

Great physics professor, though physics in general can be hard to learn or understand. Tests have MCQs, and are usually easier than the weekly homework. Clear feedback. Though, she uses Pearson (the devil) so prepare to spend $85.

Mediocre lecturer, talked a little too much about theory and derivation than actually doing the problems. Tests were very difficult and always had to be curved by 20-30%.

6BL wasn't too bad, but it's definitely dependent on how lenient your TA is. The last lab was definitely a little difficult, but if you ask your TA for help, they'll probably help if you're struggling.

The TA's aren't very good at explaining the lab procedure and answering questions, and then take off points for things we already checked with them about.
