Class is definitely very test heavy, exams are worth a lot and composed of few problems. Homework sets vary in difficulty. Some problems are relatively easy and quick and others are incredibly long and frustrating. It is hard to get a perfect grade on those but that is more than okay with him since the curve is generally pretty generous.

He is not good at explaining things and the lecture notes are not organized. Also, his accent is pretty hard to understand.

Good Lecturer. You can tell he really enjoys what he teaches. The tests are difficult, but the curve is generous. Just spend a lot of time truly understanding the homework problems.

Campas' class is a difficult one. He is a super smart professor and you're best off to take his advice and really grind through, spending HOURS on one homework problem to actually understand it otherwise you likely won't succeed. Difficulty aside, Campas is a great professor and he really does want you to succeed. DO THE HOMEWORK.

It's a hard class. Campas explains well. Do the homework problems, sometimes he put some in tests

Otger is very focused on theory - he works out the derivations for pretty much every formula on the chalkboard. He's great if you already understand the material, but not so good if you're playing catch up. Tests are difficult, but he curves.

Although you may spend 6+ hours on just ONE homework problem, I would take his advise and DEFINITELY do it by your self. He gives credit to those who do better on tests than homework and will take points off for those who do better on the homework than tests. The final is insanely hard, rigid bodies are no joke.

Follow his advise and do the homework on your own.

What can I say about my man Otger? He's a smart guy, wants his students to succeed, and clearly outlines what must be done in order to get an A in the class. Yeah, his classes can be work-intensive, but he's teaching tough subjects so what do you expect? Take his advice and struggle through the homework on your own, and you will do just fine.
