Reviews
His exams aren't hard, and Hamilton is generally available to explain anything you might not understand.
Lectures fast but it's only because there is a lot of material to cover; teacher responds to student concerns and questions promptly; midterms are not easy but are nevertheless fair
Hamilton is really nice, but his lectures are really boring. Stopped going to class and simply read from his notes.
- Was a solid professor, moves very quickly but good for the physics department
Hamilton is great.
But for people who can't pay attention to slideshow-based teaching, I don't reccomend.
Boring lecturer, but gets the job done. Fair professor, easy exams.
