It was not manually verified and may not follow our review standards. | I went to 4 lectures the whole semester, including the midterm. He only came to 2 of the lectures I went to and the rest were taught by a guest lecturer who had nooo idea what we were doing (not that any of us did either). The midterm was a joke and the final was as well. Just put together a strong powerpoint at the end and you will definitely get an A. Easiest science class of my life. |

A HW assignment each week, BS essay midterm where he gives you the topics beforehand, and a Fianl powerpoint presentation that takes a fews hours to research + put together. You will get an A as long as you put some effort into each assignment. Class was just really disorganized and there were points throughout the semester where I had absolutely no clue what my grade was. But if you want an easy non-lab science core, definitely take this class. |

It was not manually verified and may not follow our review standards. | Class should not even be a college course, an absolute joke...two homework assignments, a BS midterm, and a final presentation that a 5th grader could put together. This class is easy but can be stressful as well considering that there is no syllabus and basically no outline of what is going on. |

Can be regarded in two ways-- if you are there to learn, there is plenty. The guy is a famous physicist for a reason, and listening to him is both entertaining and can be extremely interesting, especially if he talks about his own experience (which is vast). If you are there to get an A, it is also really easy to do; no attendance is taken and he is an easy grader. The final (presentation) is a joke |
