I have no issues with Professor Bhatti. He is hard to understand at times, but he is very helpful during the actual lab. Most of the lab is self-led through the textbook, but he is a great resource if the instructions are not clear. He's a decent professor though.

Kind of a harder lab. But the professor was really good at helping us when we were stuck (which was a lot). He did go over the lab at the beginning of the class, which I think was a little bit of a waste of time because it didn't make much sense if you didn't read about the lab beforehand, which I'm sure no one did. The TA gave kind of confusing answers, so we would just go to the professor to help us instead. There are about 11 labs, and they're pretty flexible about make-ups.

Prof. Bhatti was fine for this lab. He's a bit hard to understand at times, but most of the work you'll do is self led from lab manuals, all of which are fairly easy to understand. Him and the TA were very helpful and accommodating when needed. Always responded to emails fast and let me come to lab on a different day one week when I wasn't able to make it. Def recommend this prof/lab for a fairly easy lab experience.

I honestly did not have a problem with Dr. Bhatti at all. Both him and his TA were accommodating when issues arose and his class was not difficult at all. I will say the second exam was much harder than the first, but his study guides are very helpful and as long as you study from those, you should really be fine. The class really is mostly self directed, and I would highly recommend the split lab. I would definitely recommend this professor.

I found him to be very pleasant to talk to and helpful in explaining concepts and corrections during the labs. Practicals were fair, and he posted helpful review slides.

Dr. Bhatti is overall a good professor. He answers questions when asked, gives practice exams that are extremely helpful, and his class is not too difficult or overwhelming. If it still exists, I advise taking the split option of 2 and 2 hours. This class really is mostly self guided (and kind of boring and annoying I will say) but overall not difficult to do well and is a learning experience. Id take him if you can.

I had no idea what this guy was saying 90% of the time, but it's a lab so it doesn't really matter (you learn it all by yourself anyways). He was nice whenever I interacted with him, which is a plus.

This lab was literally a 4-hour torture session. If sitting in front of a computer screen doing busywork for 4 hours wasn't enough, whenever I would ask the professor or TA a question I would get a very convoluted and roundabout answer. I could've asked a brick wall the same question and would have gotten the exact same answer. The lab manuals were good at first, but towards the end, especially for the standing waves one, the lab manuals became useless. Nobody knew what they were doing, and of course, the professor and TA barely helped either. If anything, the professor would slow me down. I was following the lab directions and he would just stop me during the lab and question me as if I had just committed a crime when I had literally already completed the step he was questioning me about. Thank god I'm done with this lab, if you can, don't take 275 with this professor.

He's literally the worst person I've ever met in my life, and I'm not sure why he decided to be a professor. He's extremely rude, he's barely responsive to emails, getting a straight answer out of him is like pulling teeth, and he basically just lacks common courtesy in every way. He makes entirely too many mistakes and he's honestly just very unpleasant to be around. If you can take anyone else in the world then do it.

Most of this class's work is self-directed; he (and the TA) answer questions and are helpful in doing so. The TA does most (maybe all?) of the grading for both labs and exams, as far as I'm aware. At the beginning of every lab he spends about 10-20 minutes giving a quick rundown of some of the important concepts and formulae in the lab. The only problem I had is that during that time, he often didn't speak loud enough for me to hear because the room has tons of loud background noise. The work itself (i.e. the lab manuals) is pretty much standardized across the department, so you read and perform the same labs in the class regardless of your professor. They are not too difficult for the most part, nor are the weekly prelab and homework assignments. Some of the "hotshot" questions (indicated as such in the lab manual and ExpertTA) are very difficult and good to attempt, but they are not graded.
