Eric is the true MVP of my entire undergrad. His lecture notes are detailed and filled out so you can focus on understanding the physics and very well paced. He is very understanding and supportive when students are facing certain challenges (providing hw extension if you ask honestly) and/or struggling with certain concepts. This is THE class where putting in effort has direct correlation to your grade. Our TA, Diego, is awesome and provided strategies to tackle the hw problems. Take advantage of their OH and these tips below.

This quarter, lectures are not recorded (classroom didn't have an option), but he provided past recordings. Each week contains a weekly hw based on completion and a open-note/no time limit quiz. Don't be too worried about the 2 midterms and final; The exams are fair especially since he gives you old exams. 1/3 of it is concept questions while the rest is solving questions but they’re not too difficult. He also offers 1-2% extra credit if you just fill out a survey and replaces your lowest midterm if you do better on the final. I also recommend his exam review sessions, doing the optional problems, and working every prior midterm ahead of time, since you'll see very similar questions (and strategies tackling it) on the exam and hw. Make sure you're confident on the conceptual parts and setting up the problems. Lastly, I highly recommend writing the notes on your notebook ahead of time so you can focus on the physics itself.

On word-of-mouth alone, I heard Eric was a great professor and experiencing his teachings myself exceeded those expectations. He really is an amazing professor who is very understanding of what students need and teaches quantum (a subject that sounds scary) in a very digestible matter. His notes are so clear & color coded; quite literally the best I’ve seen. He never makes you feel dumb about any questions especially in office hours (which are so helpful!! he expects that students have trouble with math and is always willing to explain it)
As for the lecture format, lectures are recorded, weekly problems based on completion, a weekly open-note/no time limit quiz, and 2 midterms + a final. The exams were completely fair especially since he gives you old exams to practice with. 1/3 of it is concept questions while the rest is solving questions but they’re never that difficult. He also offers 1-2% extra credit if you just fill out a survey and replaces your lowest midterm if you do better on the final. I’d also absolutely recommend his exam review sessions because he gives a great summary for the unit and kinda hints at what he expects. Exam tips would be knowing key words for concept questions and just knowing how to set up the problem solving questions.
Overall, a great professor for a class I once scared of but found to be quite interesting!

Eric is phenomenal. I really struggle with chem and genuinely could not have gotten through this without his help and encouragement.

I loved Professor Wu!!!!! He made learning chemistry fun and easy. I appreciated how straight-forward he was in his explanations and you can tell that he is clearly very bright and has a lot of expertise in the area. He also cared a lot for his students!!! He would make filled out worksheets for each lecture (that he would even color coded) that were extremely helpful especially when studying for exams.

Speaking of exams, they were extremely fair. Professor Wu would send out practice exams and also hold review sessions that he hosted himself. The practice exams were very similar to the actual exams, which I appreciated a lot. Discussions were more like a Q&A style were you would just come with any questions you had and they could be answered by your TA. I ended up not really going by the end of quarter because they were optional.

Overall, loved this class and would definitely recommend people to take 14A with Professor Wu.
