The class is fun and I recommend it.

This class is not as easy as everyone says it is. Reading the book (which is pretty dry) is SO important. Tests are totally random and even though I took loads of practice exams in preparation I never did very well. The steep curve and participation are what ultimately got me a decent grade in this class. Lectures can be entertaining but its also easy to daze out.

Bloomfield is a very enjoyable professor, knows his stuff. He tries to make physics fun... Problem sets are quite wordy but nothing you cant handle. If you understand the concepts class will be a breeze for you. Bloomfield is pretty popular and makes students be apart of the demo.

I took this class to fulfill my math/science requirement...bad idea. Lectures and readings are easy enough to follow, but the exam questions seem like they're written to trick you. Hard material that he presents in a simplified way, but you will get caught up in his verbiage and not do well on the tests if you are not math/science-oriented

This class is a bit harder than the 105 that Bloomfield teaches, just because the concepts are more complicated. But don't graduate without taking a class of Lou's, he's just a peach.

Very enthusiastic about what he teaches and a very pleasant class! Study for the tests and do the homework and you'll be fine!
