Ralf's lectures can cover either one topic and do a ton of examples or cover many topics with few examples. As long as you read the lecture slides, do the homework, and go to discussions, you should be fine. I stopped going to lecture after the first midterm and did fine. Also, this course is grades are based on how well your peers are doing!Rate My Professors ↗

Ralf keeps lectures entertaining with demos that have a 50/50 of being successful. He is a 10/10 babe that isnt afraid to strut his stuff on and off the chalkboard. Would recommend for the laughs.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor read strictly from the lecture slides, which used the same dense vocabulary that's in the textbook, so the lectures were rarely helpful. The course material is also very dense and fairly complex, making it difficult to learn at times. The Exams felt very random and didn't always seem like an accurate test of what I had learned.Rate My Professors ↗
Rambles on for a hour every lecture. Doesn't care at all about teaching.Rate My Professors ↗
He was only the secondary professor for the class, but was an amazing lecturer! He has an accent but it is very easy to understand! He goes through the slides in detail and makes sure to answer any questions students have. He also does a lot of demonstrations. He definitely made physics bearable for me! Class is easier than phy103 (in my opinion).Rate My Professors ↗
