Professor Kamaha is not the greatest lecturer I have ever had, but she is a really cool person who cares about teaching and her students' understanding. If you are confused go to office hours and she will help. I didn't take AP physics in high school and did fine, but I am a math major and did take regular physics so that definitely helped. Just do a lot of practice and look at the past midterms she gives.

go to her office hour and get to know her. sometimes she might drop a little subtle hint about what will be on the test. Overall, I found lectures not very useful even though I went to lecture everyday. I didn't like her teaching methods (she talked in a low tone and that definitely didn't help.) She takes in feedback from midquarter survey and that definitely helped a lot. The discussion worksheets and past exams were really useful for the tests. She assigns homework every week and it takes around 2-3 hours to get done but it really helps understanding the material. Near the end of the quarter, I started reading the textbook before lectures and it helped with my understanding. I would recommend reading textbook on the topic before she covers it in class. This class wasn't an easy class but you don't need to avoid it. The class mean on both midterm 1 and 2 were 60. She boosted 10% for everyone who submitted a correction for midterm1. She added 5% to everyone for midterm 2 and promised that the final will be easier. The final was indeed easier. I like her as a person but she could improve her teaching imo.
