Most Helpful Review
Fall 2024 - I am not sure why the reviews for this class are so low. This was one of the most manageable physci upper division classes that I have taken. While the professor is undoubtedly very knowledgeable about the course, the language barrier definitely poses a struggle at times in terms of asking questions. However, the content that you are actually tested on is extremely minimal. His lectures are not the lightest, but once you figure out his quizzes and exams, the class is a breeze. There are weekly discussion posts that are no big deal, and you have to do a presentation on an assigned paper. I did notice that the difficulty in papers was extremely vast, so you kinda just have to get lucky when you get assigned yours. However, the grading was incredibly lenient, and it was basically for completion. There is also a small research paper due at the end of the quarter, but you can use personal anecdotes so its not super intense. Overall, just do the busy work and you will be okay. The professor is also super sweet and will extend assignments if you ask.
