initial enrollment = ~85, final enrollment = 48. Hilarious isn't it? First time he taught an upper div and seemed to drive out like half the class. Harsh grading on the first midterm (i.e. lose major points for computational errors) probably had a lot to do with that. So he seemed cold at first, like other reviews have suggested. He actually ended up being pretty nice. He gave us what I thought was a pretty easy final, probably to help raise our grades (no curve in the class; he had a special scale) and reward those who decided to stick it out. My friend was actually a couple points short of an A (you needed 890 out of 1000 points total for the class). Lew ended up giving him the A anyways. Thus, at least from my perspective, he ended up being pretty nice, and not so cold as other people think. OK lecturer. Sorta acts like an oddball/nerdy, but that's alright.

Winter 2022 - I wanted to write this review because as someone who is not an AOS major I was unprepared for what the class would be like. There was a bit more math and a little bit of physics that I wasn't expecting. Overall I would say the class isn't terribly difficult if you reach out for help and go to OH. My TA (Laura T) is absolutely amazing!! I tended to zone out in class so if you pay attention and do the homework problems you should be set!
