Everyone knows that this class is pretty easy for a physics upper div elective. I thought it was pretty easy, even though I have never coded before taking the class. Corbin is an engaging lecturer, and he's also quite funny. I do think the lectures can be a bit difficult to follow sometimes since he is just retyping code he already wrote, so we're scrambling to keep up with him, and I and a few other students often did not have working code by the end of the lecture. Corbin was always happy to help us debug the code, though, and he gives very constructive feedback.

The course covers lagrangian mechanics, E&M, non-inertial frames, and some quantum at the end (no projects involved quantum). Overall, I feel like I learned a lot about coding in Mathematica, and I recommend it because the skills are applicable outside of the class.
