Over half the class was CS majors with no background of quantum mechanics. The course listing on Testudo has a long list of topics which a student should be comfortable with before taking the course, when evidently they were not. Originally was not planning on making lecture notes public until many students were sick with COVID, then students stopped showing up to lectures. After the CS students kept emailing saying the class was too hard, it became very simple. Ended up downcurved (so a 90 is a B+) since everyone did well after the first month.

This professor was very absent. She was rarely in class and did not hold true to her office hours. Many students have asked her for in person appointments, to which she said no. The grading criteria was also ambiguous, and she did not explicitly state where people would get points off for the lab reports. Furthermore, her general response to people's concern is just "this course is a more advanced course". Would avoid in the future.
