Fall 2025 - Kogar might be the best lecturer at UCLA; he's also extremely knowledgeable about the history of experiments. He's incredible at making a derivation engaging and intuitive. I rarely understand in-class derivations, but this guy knows how to convey intuition through a derivation. Go to the lectures, they're the highlight of this (seemingly boring) class, the TA was also amazing and it looks like he's gonna be TA for the near future. Class is 4 experiments, 1 of them felt like a demo, but the others were genuinely engaging and very fun, we only had lab reports as a graded work, so 4 lab reports for the whole quarter. The professor and the TA were very open to having lengthy discussions about the phenomena seen in class (mostly about the final experiment about modes on a drum), which was extremely eye-opening and mentally challenging. Even as a stupid undergrad, I really felt like my stupid questions were respected and properly addressed. This class improved my critical thinking and my intuition on modes in ways I didn't think were possible.
