About this rating

Raw average: 2.00/5 from 11 quality ratings. The adjusted rating blends this with the UW review average (3.66/5), weighted as 20 additional ratings. Smaller samples stay closer to that average. Each captured review is counted once in the prior; this does not correct who chooses to leave a review.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
His lectures are so bad that you just need to read the book. Labs are structured horribly.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 3/5
Weekly quizzes during lectures, which themselves were highly disorganized. He often forgot where he was in the lecture notes (which he doesn't post), and would spend five minutes trying to figure out where he messed up. Each lab is 2 weeks long, and sometimes the lab procedure/questions were changed halfway through the experiment.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 5/5
Since this class is graduate level circuit (more advanced version of physics 321), McCammon goes through topics super fast, and tbh, sometimes confusing. However, he is always ready to help you during office hour, clarifying all the topics, and eventually you can learn a lot from this class

Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
Do not take Prof. McCammon's classes online: he does not do well with the format. Lectures were very disorganized with no clear indication of which parts were really important and which were side tangents. If you do the homework and read the textbook, you can still do well in the class albeit painfully.

Cared very much about us, but can't teach well. Average on second midterm was 57. Borderline illegible notes, quantitative (and useless) tangents on how circuits are used today, and an inability to teach in an understandable manner. The book helps a lot, but this class was an exercise in frustration. (Probably better in person to be fair)
