The class was really boring. Norum is an awful professor. The tests are really hard but there is a very generous curve for this course. Doing HW problems doesn't help much in this class as the problems on the test are completely unrelated to the HW problems.

One of the most complained about class for a first-year e-schooler. Lectures don't help at all, no one ever goes, you can't hear him or read his blackboard notes, tests have average of 40% to 60%, homeworks are totally irrelevant, and one of the most frustrating classes EVER. Many opted to take physics somewhere else, you should too.

The problems on the mid-terms and the final are nothing like the homeworks. Lecture doesn't help very much, and reading the book will only help you but so much. My suggestion: study and do the work in groups, it helps a lot.

This class is really hard but unfortunately it's required. I've heard bad things about Conetti, so I recommend you take it with Norum. Everyone fails the exams so as long as you stay above the average you're fine.

He made many mistakes during lectures which hindered my ability to learn, because I stopped trusting what he was telling us.
