Fall 2023 - When I took this class, it was Mathew’s first quarter of teaching. He knew most of the class were Psych or CogSci majors, so he went REALLY easy on us. Most of the more difficult Physics topics weren’t covered or not tested. His lectures were engaging because he tried to do a least one demonstration every day, and had volunteers help him with it. During midterm and finals season, his office hours were really helpful, and he provided a study guide. If you’re even a little bit familiar with physics, you’ll be golden. This class was kindergarten level physics.
