I didn't pay attention in class, so I'm not going to rate the teacher. She's a nice lady and she goes through her powerpoints in class. Here's the breakdown: Homework- 10% Quizzes- 10% First Exam- 15% Second Exam- 15% Third Exam- 15% Lab Reports (free points) -10% Final Exam- 25% I learned from reading the book doing the homework. The quizzes are straightfoward, and easy if you study. For each exam, you get a notecard, but its pretty much filled with formulas. Exams are variations on homework problems. If you know how to use the formulas, you're set for the most part.

He's not the best lecturer. He likes to prove theories and doesn't test on them. Doesn't really encourage questions. It's amusing to watch him try to figure out how to make the demos work. He's also a really nice person. Basically, if you study really hard and write good cards (you're allowed one for the first test and additional one for subsequent tests), you'll be fine. He curves a lot.
