Comment :
I would not recommend this class as a physics elective. The course was \'taught\' through reading the ENTIRE textbook. The amount of readings is insane. There was very minimal guidance as to what was \"need-to-know\", and no lecture slides were provided. Assignments were not reflective of course material, and were difficult to get decent grades on. Only good thing I can say is that majority of quiz and midterm questions could be found online.
