Physics

He didn't teach well, assigned a lot of homework(3 times a week usually with at least 5 problems, many of them being difficult). I think it's best to take the class when you are not taking a heavy course load. I had an easy course load therefore I was able to dedicate a lot of time to self teaching and doing practice problems. The good thing was that his exams were pretty fair,(on the easier side if I'm being honest) and this is coming from someone who has never taken physics. The questions were pretty straightforward not trying to trick you, you just need to know the material( which you wouldn't learn from him). The hardest part of the exams were probably just the conceptual questions of the multiple choice. Also, I think he was a very fair/nice grader. He would give a lot of partial credit. SO at the end of the day, I don't think taking the course with him was that bad, but you definitely need to dedicate some time to succeed.

Professor Durst was nice. The lab format and material is fun. The grading policy isn't great; 33% midterm and 33% final. The average on our first midterm was a 60%. Its hard to get an A in this course

I really enjoyed taking Ancient Astronomy with Professor Glikman. We learned a ton about ancient astronomy figures in China, Greece, Rome, Babylon, etc., but we also learned some more modern stuff such as how to use math to calculate the date of a solar eclipse. Be aware that you'll have to do astronomy practicals which involve going to the roof of bihall at night in below zero weather. Professor Glikman is great though and super enthusiastic about astronomy.
