way too many people failed the class. it was made much harder than necessary. A C was 50th percentile. the amount of work you put in does not equal the end result. i am actually good at statics and did well in other classes that built off of statics but you have to be einstein to get an A in this class.

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%)

Nice guy, but really boring lectures. Attending his OH is really helpful; he'll walk you through homework questions and you can check your answers. We had 2 hour mandatory lectures and discussions but it was just straight practice problems, wasn't interactive at all and was not really that helpful. Just watch Jeff Hanson on YouTube, he has a great playlist on statics that carried me through this course. Im pretty sure fall 2023 was his first time teaching so he should hopefully improve moving forward.
