I truly appreciated this class and found it to be a great learning experience. The course covered a diverse range of topics that kept things engaging without feeling overwhelming. Professor Durst did an excellent job making lectures both interactive and enjoyable. He was extremely supportive, offering flexible policies like grace periods for most assignments and dropping the lowest homework and midterm grades. The homework and exams were fair, and his approach really helped set students up for success. This supportive structure allowed me to focus on understanding and engaging with the material, making the class both rewarding and enjoyable overall.

Durst was a great professor and the way the class was set up was very accommodating. We had nine regular labs (you drop your lowest two grades) and one independent lab. There was also one essay but it was spread out over the semester so it didn't feel like a lot. The only advice I have is to stay on top of the labs, it is tempting to use the large grace period but makes the labs harder.

PHYS 222 was brutal. The labs were tedious and seemed to take way longer than they should have. Instructions were often pretty unclear and it seemed like everyone in the class was pretty fed up with it all by the end.
