Bloomfield is great, but he flipped the classroom this semester, so there was a lot of time wasted. Some cool demos and interesting nuggets of knowledge. Not an easy A, but B+ or A- is definitely easy. First two exams were recycled questions from past exams (which he posts online), but the final was original and difficult. Problem sets are difficult, so he recommends you do them with friends. Not a bad class.

Lou Bloomfield is ICONIC. Not only is he the GENIUS behind Lou's List, but he created this whole class from scratch. The text book was written by himself and he came up with all of the examples/information. He posts the lectures online meaning you don't have to come to class; however, I always ended up going because he uses class time to do experiments like throwing liquid nitrogen on the ground and setting bubbles on fire. Problem sets are worth 30% of your grade so do well on them- the questions are weird but do-able. The exams are a piece of cake- he posts ALL of the previous exams on his webpage and he repeats questions from old exams on his new ones. Overall a great professor/person who hates SIS just as much as his students. Lou Bloomfield: the man, the myth, the LEGEND.

Bloomfield is the man. He knows everyone's name in a 250-person lecture when only a third of the class usually shows up. If you have taken a physics class before this class is extremely easy. Readings optional. If you don't want to go to class one day, don't go. His classes are mildly entertaining, though. He does lots of demonstrations. Midterms were extremely easy. He made the final a bit more difficult this year because of that. Previous years' midterms and finals are on his website to practice with before exams. Do the problem sets and do them well. I made the mistake of not trying on some and didn't end up with a good problem set grade. Great class if you need to knock out a science credit. Not everyone gets an A as people claim, though. A majority of his students, he claims, get a B. Did I mention he is the man behind Lou's List?

I love this class! Professor Bloomfield is so fun, engaging, and enthusiastic. He really cares about the students, tries to learn everyone's names (even in a 200 person lecture) and is always happy to explain things in office hours. I actually found the problem sets somewhat difficult, but go to office hours and he'll give you the answers so you can still get 100s. The only grades are 10 problem sets, two midterms and a final. He gives all the past tests for the midterms and finals, so literally all you have to do is study those and you should be golden for the exams (he recycles questions).

He doesn't teach physics in the same way that other physics professors do. Basically every class has a demonstration and he clearly seems very interested in the subject matter. The only issue is that the unconventional teaching method makes it hard to seek help from outside sources because even Physics majors can't really do the problems he gives.

Bloomfield is by far the best professor I have met in college. He is so understanding. The class is basically three tests and ten problem sets which account for 70% and 30% of your grade. The problem sets are really hard and Bloomfield does not help you with them so be prepared to spend some time on them. The class itself is interesting but I ended up not going to the majority of them. Take this class just for the professor. You will not regret it.

Louis Bloomfield is such a great professor. He cares about all of his students and he is very passionate about what he teaches. He works hard to make sure you understand the material as well as makes the class as fun as possible (it's pretty much an episode of Bill Nye every class!).

Professor Bloomfield is an awesome professor. His presentations keep you engaged, and the material is pretty easy to understand. Reading the textbook isn't necessary if you go to class. If you don't understand the topics, then just watch the videos on the textbook website. The best way to study for the tests is by doing the practice tests. Just put some effort into the class and you will do well.

Bloomfield is awesome but the class is honestly a lot harder than it looks.

Professor: Mr. Bloomfield is one of the nicest people I have ever met. He is so accesible and genuinely wants everyone to learn/enjoy his class. He is insanely smart and is definitely one of those professors that you just have to meet.
Class: He does really cool demonstrations in class that will wake you up if you're falling asleep (lecture can get a little boring). Not going to lie, less than half the class actually shows up most of the time. This class is definitely not for science people. It's very basic and starts at the beginning.
Tests: There are 2 midterms and 1 cumulative final. About every week or so there will be one 10-20 question problem set that you do online. They aren't hard and you can work with anyone to do them. He literally posts all his midterms and finals (with answers and VIDEO explanations) online. If you practice them before a midterm you will do well.
Office hours: Really helpful during office hours, not many people go compared to the amount of people in the class.
Drawback: The class can be really boring sometimes (until he does a cool presentation). The material starts to fuzz together eventually so you should stay on top of it.
Textbook: All you need is the online version for the problem sets, not too expensive. You genuinely don't need to buy the physical copy. PS he wrote the book (did I mention he is a physics genius ?? Take the class and you'll see).
Workload: Super light, you can make it has hard or as easy as you want it to be. The bare minimum would be to only turn in problem sets (which I don't recommend). The best way to go would be to read and understand the material so that you are ready for any of his test questions, which basically focus on applying basic concepts of conceptual physics.
Overall: Look over chapter, go to office hours for extra explanation (if needed) and do the practice tests - you'll be 100% golden. If you dread anything having to do with science, I wouldn't necessarily say you'd enjoy it, but it is a really good class in that it knocks out part of the math/science requirement. Also, no math involved !!!
