Said phys23, but I actually took 24 with him. Very approachable and nice guy. Excellent explanations for my qns during OH. Lots of advanced math techniques on the HW, butI learned a lot. The tests were very reasonable. Overall highly recommend. Very charismatic and friendly guy.

He's a good teacher overall, his lectures are alright but the sections is where you would get the most help (the problems in the sections require critical thinking but are optional). Although exams are heavy they are fair, the gimmick is that sometimes questions would test your ability to connect between different materials in class.

Tests are worth a lot (final = 45%, midterm = 24%). Class didn't help learn the concepts because majority of it was just deriving equations rather than applying the concepts. Section was helpful. Grading on tests was pretty okay. The homework was a lot and difficult to get through based on content just from the lectures.

While Professor Oehlmann was mostly good, a lot of the class was not very conducive to better understanding physical concepts and principles. Most of our time spent in class is doing derivations which don't help me to understand physics, nor do they make me any better at math. HW is too long, didn't help to prepare for exam questions.

Great professor, learned a lot in his lectures, the slideshows were helpful and lecture recordings whenever I had to miss class. Exams were fair and had fun learning the material, you can tell he wants you to learn a lot. Great professor and makes learning easy.
