How things work is an interesting class, but I struggled as I had absolutely zero physics knowledge beforehand. That being said, Professor Neu made the process a lot more bearable. Professor Neu is by far one of my favorite professors that I've had the pleasure of knowing. He is very passionate about what he does, and always super excited during each class. You can tell that he cares about the course and wants his students to learn. There's a lot of emphasis on pretty basic formulas (which I struggled with as there were many to cover), as well as applying concepts to working problems. The textbook readings are pretty important, and necessary if you have no physics knowledge, as Professor Neu assigns pre-quizzes that take information found from the textbook before the content is taught in class. Overall, I think that if I had a little more knowledge regarding physics, I wouldn't have had as much trouble with understanding the content, but being a slow learner as well as completely new to physics, I had a difficult time. All that being said, Professor Neu is genuinely such an awesome professor and I definitely want to see if he has any other courses I could take. #tCFS24
