Schriver made the content in 5A so easy that I was completely confused as to how other profs could make the class sound like the hardest lower-div in existence. I definitely recommend taking him if you can get a spot. Grading was weekly homework (10 questions each), two easy midterms, and an easy final (non-cumulative for my quarter, idk about other quarters).

SCHRIVER IS A UCLA TREASURE. this quarter, he started teaching us during week 4 due to professor changes but he was extremely understanding and attentive to all of his students. you can genuinely tell how much he cares about his students. each friday he'd dedicate 2 hours for office hours and was always willing to answer questions after lecture, and his midterms and final reflected that. there was no overcomplicated conceptual question or very tedious conversions. he is very straightforward and to the point, which i absolutely loved. i hated physics in high school but this course was really fun for me and i recommend 5a with him!! do not be afraid of this class!

I believe Professor Schriver is a professor very concerned about our learning and as such is very organized and has a structure to his course. Super fair and if we attend lecture and study the homework we will be fine.

Given that the professor came midway through (we had McKeown at first), I thought he did an amazing job transitioning and being accommodating. All expectations were clear, homework was consistent, and the exam was fair and very forgiving. Always offering help at office hours and the lecture is clear/examples of problems are well explained. Honestly, as someone who took physics in high school and didn't enjoy it, I understand the concepts much better now and do really find it interesting. Super thankful that he ended up teaching instead of McKeown. Go to his lectures!! Profesor Schriver is the reason I wake up at 7 to go to my 8am!!

He is the man, the myth, and the legend... You will do yourself a favor by taking his class! He is a great professor, very helpful, and cares very much about his students.

TAKE THIS CLASS WITH SCHRIVER AT ALL COSTS!!!!!

Schriver is a god-send who is SOOO understanding and an amazing lecturer! The way the grade was broken down was three exams (25% each) that are non-cumulative, 10% HW, and 15% lab (standard for all PHYSICS 5 classes). His exams were SUPER fair probably the easiest exams I've taken with any physics professor here, with no tricks, and as long as you understand the HW and the problems from his review sessions before the exam, you are basically guaranteed an amazing score! AGAIN TAKE IT WITH HIM!!! YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU DONT!

Give him the noble prize of peace and kindness.
He's a legend...

Oh my god. David Schriver is an absolute king. Love him so much. He’s such a sweetheart too!
