In order to succeed in this course, you defiantly need to keep up with the homework, go to the lectures, do the readings and watch the recorded videos. Practicing these physics problems is definitely important as well. The exams, thankfully, are graded on a curve which is nice. Professor Hess was also very enthusiastic about teaching physics and very helpful whenever I went to his office hours!

This class was a really good introduction to physics. A lot of time is spent on each topic and it's reinforced in textbooks, homework, videos, and lecture so if you don't get it the first time you will eventually. Labs are very well thought out and take almost the whole time or less on average.

This is definitely a hard course but it's doable if you put the work in. There is a lot of homework- two problem sets a week and the exams are hard but he usually gives a nice curve. Professor Hess is an awesome guy and super accommodating.
