There are two points to consider: 1. the most difficult questions in the exams come from the online quizzes of the textbook (5 edition for the 3000 level course). The link to the online quizzes can be found at the beginning of the textbook. 2. A lot of people defer the exams, so they can talk during the test, the TA does not care that much.

Lectures are all theory and make up very little of what is actually tested. Hmwk questions require calculations which she pays ZERO attention to in the lectures, and the midterm was the most poorly written, anxiety provoking midterm I've ever written despite reviewing the lectures + doing ALL the hmwk problems + reading the TB + attending tutorial

Never answers emails or class discussions. Despite numerous complaints about her midterms, she did not care. Lectures are theory based, and come from the textbook. However, the exams are mainly calculations which she does NOT focus on. Very little time to finish the tests, and half of them didn't make sense. You teach yourself.

This class is terrible. The lectures have nothing to do with what is being tested when it comes to the midterms. The lectures do not go into detail about what questions need to be practiced but rather a general overview of the material. It does not prepare you for the tests, the textbook questions do help.

I'm inspired by how bad this course was. Her dog appearing in her videos by accident was more exciting than the entirety of the course. Exams are based on calculations yet 99% of the material she teaches is just the theory. Your textbook is your best friend, but that won't be enough to get a decent grade. Good luck with this course.

Spends more time editing her videos than the actual lecture. Test reviews are 5 mins, to review about 25 questions, and it's nearly impossible to actually book a spot. No transparency with students, we got a notice of how many questions we have at 10:43 pm the night before the exam, telling us part 1 has 24, & part 2 has 23. Hated every day of it.

If you don't have a physics background, then you will have to dedicate lots of time for studying. I got 100% on the first test and was in the mid 90s going into the final exam.
