Fall 2021 - I just finished with the final exam, which is just another normal quiz. There are only four exams, 25% each, which I think is more like a quiz. Each one consists of 1 or 2 questions and you are given one hour. I got three 100% on the previous ones and final one is also very easy and not accumulative but only about relativity and EM. Lectures are useful and book is optional. Bachtis made the class really relieving. But personally I would review Griffith through winter break because as he said a quarter is too short to internalize all six chapter, and obviously he skipped some content to make our life really easy.

Fall 2018 - Professor Carter is a really great lecturer. His gently midwestern accent will put you at ease and help you love the back half of griffiths. The class is pretty tough, but very manageable. He didn't cover waveguides in our class, instead spending more time discussing some neat plasma phenomena, and really going into depth on the special relativity section.

Pietro is a wonderful guy. I took two upper div classes with him and worked in his lab, and I can say that he is both an excellent teacher and a mentor. His class is very entertaining and he took one of the hardest subjects in physics (E&M) and actually made it doable. He spent the most time focusing on the useful aspects of the material and ignored the unimportant stuff. It was refreshing to have a young and energetic professor for what are typically thought of as the hardest upper div physics classes. Working for him has been great as well. PBPL (Particle Beam Physics Lab) is a fun lab with a bunch of great people. To any physics students out there looking for a good research opportunity, there seems to be funding, and PBPL is a great place to work.
