    Quarter Taken: Fall 2023 In-Person
    Grade: A

    In addition to the live lectures, he posted recordings (from previous quarters I assume) whose content lined up with the live lectures. Sometimes, the lectures weren't enough to solve the homework so I had to lookup things in the textbook occasionally, even though I never really read the chapters end-to-end.

    Homework difficulty varied week to week, but I was always able to cram it all in a single day. First couple weeks are review of physics 1C, and there's a quiz worth 5% of your grade during week 3. Midterm was around week 7. Exams are much more straightforward than homework: for each question, it's really clear what concept or what equation he expects you to use.
