Fall 2017 - Bachtis was very helpful and gave interesting lectures. His office hours in particular helped a lot. His tests were fair for the most part and were pretty similar to the homework or problems he had gone over in class. I would definitely take him again. He did a lot of cool demonstrations and was really funny.

Winter 2019 - For 110A, I took it with Bachtis this quarter and it was his first time teaching it. He gives energetic and engaging lectures and is always smiling. His energy and happiness made lectures something I looked forward to. He never failed to call on a hand that was raised during lecture...we picked up on this quick and lecture pretty much felt like a conversation between questions and Bachtis lecturing. He wrote some really testing exams. AKA...he'll combine 110A concepts into a single problem. The final was supposed to be cumulative but it was skwered towards everything after Mt2. To do the tests well, we had to really know concepts because they were never presented alone, always mixed in with other concepts. If Bachtis is teaching 110A during a quarter you're considering taking it, do yourself one better and enroll yo!

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.
