The best aspects of the course included the exposure to various types of physics and the class’s relevant and thorough introduction to quantum mechanics. Students also appreciated the instructor’s enthusiasm for the material. Some students felt that the amount of material covered between the midterm and the final exam was too expansive. Suggestions included devoting a small amount of time to reviewing chemistry and structuring the blackboard notes so that students can effectively read them. Prospective students should read the text to supplement the lectures.

The best aspects of this course were the topics covered and the low workload compared to other physics courses. Students especial y liked getting an introduction to quantum physics. The worst aspect of this course was the amount of topics covered. More time going in depth on a few topics was a common suggestion for improvement. Prospective students should know that this is a good overview course for physics majors or those with strong math backgrounds.

The best parts about this course were the interesting, applicable material covered, the engaging professor and the introduction to quantum physics. Many students found grading to be inconsistent without any feedback, and assignments were not reflective of lecture topics or exam questions. This course could be improved by having better communication between the instructor and TA and ensuring that assignments enforced lecture topics and prepare students for exams. Prospective students should have a solid background in mechanics and should be prepared for a chal enging course.
