Most Helpful Review
Fall 2023 - Although the lecture and discussion sections could be boring to listen to, the professor and TA do go over helpful example problems that are useful in solving the homework. The homework problems can sometimes be too much work and could be graded harshly. The tests were decent, and the grades were relatively generous in giving partial credit (especially if you show all of your steps, draw a correct free body diagram, or list down your approach). However, be aware that the midterm exam will not be handed back to you, so to see your mistakes, you will have to go to the professor's or TA's office hours. Overall, the class was manageable and the concepts were easy to grasp. To do well on the tests, I recommend going to office hours and doing practice problems. For our class, the grade cutoffs were: A+, A, A- (>85%) B+, B, B- (>75%) C+, C, C- (>65%) D+, D, D- (>55%) F (<55%)
