He's a really good professor and a solid guy overall. Everything is very fair, including homework and exam material.

There's homework due each week. It's usually 1-2 problems Rombes writes and then 3-4 questions from the textbook.

There were two midterms and the final exam. Each exam only covers material since the last exam, so the final was not cumulative. Each exam was also 24 hour open book, open note, open internet. Each exam questions is pretty easy to answer by just referencing the recorded lectures.

Rombes is the GOAT. Like seriously. I know we overuse that term now, but it fits here. I felt I had absolutely no use for this class or the information taught by it, but he made it bearable. HW was reasonable, tests were very reasonable, and he was helpful and responsive. You know how teachers just never answer questions in an online format? He answered everything, really reached out and made everyone's questions feel important. I've now completed the Physics 1 series, and I can guarantee you are not going to find a better, more reasonable teacher than Rombes. 12/10 stars.

Loved both the class and Professor Rombes. The lectures were very well-paced and I think he had a good feel for which concepts are the most confusing/need the most time. The class actually went over some helpful differential equations material which we wouldn't normally see until Math 33B.
I would not recommend taking it in the summer as it's hard to really absorb the material in just 6 weeks, especially with two problem sets a week. The midterm and final were both open note and open internet and so the questions were fairly hard. However, Prof. Rombes mentioned that you'll always have access to the internet in research or professional settings, so this is actually good preparation for the future. Anyone who is willing to spend a lot of time on the exams should do well on them, I'd say. A lot of the test questions required explanation as well as calculation (ie. explain the properties of a given device, how it behaves under different circumstances, etc.)
It was obvious that Professor Rombes is passionate about these topics, and he was really willing to answer individual questions and expand on them in office hours. Overall, a fair class, great professor, and REALLY interesting material!
