Paul Hess

Paul Hess is a great professor. He is a very friendly and chill guy. This is a FYS, so the class is focused on helping you develop your writing skills. So most of the work consists of papers. Each are relatively low stakes, though, as Hess requires a draft before turning in your final version. On each draft he provides helpful feedback. Overall, relatively easy class.

Quantum is a tough physics major course and shouldn't be taken on a whim. That being said, it was well taught by professor Hess and he made it interesting. He was also very accommodating of student's needs.

I had a tough time with this one, partly because it was my first semester in college and partly because physics is one of those subjects where you really need to build off fundamentals in order to succeed. If you can work slowly and thoroughly through the class and stay on top of the work it shouldn't be too hard, but if you fall behind it is pretty hard to catch back up. Make sure you can wrap your head around all the concepts before moving on.
