Corbin is notorious for giving bad grades BUT he is honestly one of the best lecturers I've had for Physics. He's funny and engaging, enough to where I actually got out of bed for the 9am lecture. I took it during COVID (hybrid), so there were no midterms, but rather 5 online quizzes. The averages were pretty bad, but as long as you were at least one point above the average, you were in good shape. Homework is through Mastering Physics and does not help or prepare you for tests. There are no due dates for the homework, it just has to get done by the end of the quarter. The only bad thing is that sometimes there are incorrect answers online, and you get points off for every incorrect answer. I wouldn't really recommend Corbin, but if you have to take him, you'll be alright!
