Stuart is passionate about the material but this was his first time teaching this class in a while so lectures were a bit disorganized. If you're interested in particle physics or science in general, I'd recommend this course. It's an easy pass and you get to learn about some interesting stuff without the typical academic pressure of a STEM class.

His lectures were ok. His homework was ok. His tests were ok. Office hours were better. I genuinely enjoyed learning from him. He's a great guy.

Stuart is nearly useless when it comes to explaining the material. He frequently goes on unrelated tangents and never works examples in class. Terrible dull lectures, you're better off reading the textbook instead. Pop quizzes are similar to HW. Go to lab and ask TAs questions, they know more than Stuart.

He was a great teacher! He had very clear lecture notes which were very helpful for understanding the concept. He gave practice exams and reused questions in the actual exam. His tests were not hard if u read through his lecture notes and understand them well. He expects you to be able to derive equations and use them in the tests.

Stuart is a really funny guy and his explanations are super clear. Quantum can be very confusing but Stuart does a great job of projecting the material. Stuart doesn't care much for the ridiculously long calculations on exams, he leaves that for the homework. He follows Griffiths pretty close and he fills in the steps that Griffiths skips.

Ask any physics major what their least favorite class is, and they will likely say 127 because the labs are so time consuming. The class itself is not that difficult, Stuart is a funny guy in and outside of the lectures. Grade breakdown was: Labs 40%, Quizzes 10%, HW 20%, Final 30%. He has clear lectures notes, just follow them and you'll do fine.

This class was fun, all you do is literally sit in a room for 50 minutes a week and you get a unit. No homework or even class participation necessary. If you dont even show up Im sure youll still get the unit.

Taken P/NP. Easiest pass, doesn't take attendance. Showed up late to every class and still passed. Counts as honors credit. Inspirational and well renowned faculty

A truly great teacher, intelligent lecturer, and a good mentor. You'll have a difficult time finding anyone who cares more about his students.

The course covers more topics than a typical physics course so it's tough to keep up with reading but it helps that he posts notes online with useful examples he doesn't cover in class. Going to his office hours was helpful and often necessary to finish the homework. The avgs on 104 tests are higher than for 103 so you'll prbbly do better in 104.

Stuart often drones on throughout the class, describing some long often quite obscure derivation that you must pay attention too because it will most likely be on an exam. Boring lecturer, somewhat unpredictable testing style. Best to avoid if you can.

Overall he's good at teaching, he covers the material well & definitely knows what he's talking about. But to do well in his class, you'll have to REALLY know the material, being able to do only homework problems isn't enough since the HW difficulty isn't anywhere near the test difficulty. Also he's not super helpful during office hours.
