Reviews of professor Paul Haitkin

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
PHYS 008A Pros: Insipirational lectures and labs, his love for physics is conveyed throughout. Physics will always be hard, but he is a lenient grader. Cons: Expect you to read before lectures. Group work every class, the material is hard and he will be too busy to answer everyone's questions. Lots of HW, mandatory lab attendance.

I took hartman initially and dropped her class. I took it with this professor, hes harder but more fair. He teaches you really well but grading is tough. If you're looking for an A, this class is not for you.

Although attendance was not mandatory, you should always go to class, it really helps when you are collaborating with others on the white boards. He's so passionate about physics which shows when he goes above and beyond creating sims and etc to give visuals to the class. Only calculus you need is Chain Rule (don't quote me on that).
