Noah Graham

This course is difficult, which definitely came as a surprise after a pretty chill 109 experience. There are three problem sets per week, so you definitely have to stay on top of your work. The lectures also go at a fast pace and you move between topics quickly. Exams are challenging, but if you review the homework problems and make sure you are confident in applying the basic principles to different situations you should do okay. Graham is an incredibly passionate lecturer and is definitely there to support students and answer questions. I definitely recommend going to office hours, TA hours, and working with us to make the problem sets more manageable. It definitely a grind, but I think also good preparation for future physics courses.

Difficult class, but the professor does a great job teaching the material. Expect to need the textbook to fully understand some of the material. Exams are difficult but fair. Graham has a ton of passion for the subject and makes the lectures and labs engaging.

I really enjoy Professor Graham as a professor. His teaching style can take some getting used to, but I have never met a professor more enthusiastic about the content he is teaching or more willing to sit with you one-on-one and answer even your dumbest questions with grace. The class was a difficult class, but the concepts were really interesting and the exams were hard but fair.
