PHYS21 . Sherwin M S 1 Year, 7 Months Ago

Way too much work for a 4 unit class, 20 hours a week is insane and he wants rough drafts for physics homework?!?!?!

Do not recommend. Class was difficult in both material and grading.

PHYS21 . Sherwin M S 5 Years Ago

Exams are really hard and has nothing to do with the practice exam. Lecture is just basically copying the book on the broad. Professor Sherwin seems so concentrated on the blackboard that if you raise your hand, usually it will take 1-2 minutes for him to notice you. My entire PHYS 21 is basically self studying.

Professor Sherwin may have a slow, sometimes confusing lecture, but his office hours were very helpful. He's kind and really wants you to succeed. Tests were not hard and covered all of the material in a way that made you think, but won't make you struggle. Also, reading before lectures were CRUCIAL for success on quizzes and exams.
