I took the course as a major requirement. After my experience in 109, I was surprised by the difficulty. Professor Herman moves at a very fast pace, and there is a lot of homework for the course. The exams are difficult and I often found it hard to effectively prepare for them.
This course was one of the most difficult classes I have taken at Midd. The majority of the course covers relativity, which I found quite confusing compared to other physics material. The exams in this class were very hard, with most people in the class barely finishing on time. I did not do very well on either of the two midterm exams, however I ended up with a good grade in the class, so some people say Herdman grades "off of vibes." Overall, its a hard class but the material is interesting.

Professor Watson is a great professor. She was very clear about her expectations of the students from the start of the semester. She has a pretty specific way that you have to solve the problems and requires that you show all of your work on problem sets and exams. But she shows you how to do everything in lecture. I thought the lectures were very helpful and textbook readings were great supplements.
