Winter 2024 - After having the worst experience in physics 1CH, I realized the preciousness of Professor Petta. Not only does he knows all the materials inside-out, he delivers it in a clear, understandable way and apply the concepts to real situations. The first exam scared me a little but I sticked through (this is my first physics class). His exams reflects all the topics you learn in class and as long as you follow though, do the homework and practice exam, you will get a very good hang of everything. Most importantly, the knowledge you learnt will be carried throughout your future career. I revisited the capacitors in one of the micro sensor labs, and I realized all his practice prepared us for real life applications of the knowledge so effectively. I am so glad I took this class! One of the best professors in the world! I will definitely take his class again!

Spring 2024 - The professor uses demos that are very engaging and that help you understand the material. He uses iClicker and you are graded on attendance, but it was only 2% of the grade. The grade was based off of the 2 midterms (each 20%), problem sets (20%), the final (38%), and attendance. The tests were manageable, but slightly more difficult than the problem sets. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this class!
