Candler is a really good lecturer. His explanations make a lot of sense, so any new material is easy to understand. However, a lot of this course requires 1C material, which I did not retain that well. The only con I found was Candler only has 8am lectures, and he posts very little material on CCLE, so you have to go to lecture, but he does throw candy if you answer questions.

Grading was:
10% 2 quizzes
20% HW
30% Midterm
39% Final

I was extremely nervous going into this class as I was surprised I passed Physics 1C, but it ended up going totally fine! Candler is an engaging professor who explains why he teaches as he does, tries to improve from previous quarters, and encourages questions. HW's are hard but not ridiculous, and if you do them you will understand the material. Tests were very fair, and similar to the HW. Cannot recommend Candler highly enough - second only to Kao!

Not an easy subject. This class is basically the harder parts of physics 1B and 1C over again, this time with more focus on using multivariable calc. However, I think this class really helped me understand electromagnetics a lot better than I did the first time around when I took the 1 series. About the class itself, he bases grades off of problem sets, two quizzes, a midterm, and a final. I found the problem sets to be pretty challenging personally, but since he does not provide you with any other practice resources, you need to master the concepts used in the problems. I found that the best way to study for the exams was to redo and really understand the homework. The exams themselves were relatively straightforward, with pretty high class averages compared to a regular EE class. Don't brush off the quizzes though. They are only worth 5% of your grade each, but they took me by surprise and I didn't do too well on them, which is what I attribute me getting an A- to. Overall, a very nice/chill guy and a good lecturer as well. I would recommend taking him.

Class Review:
Its really an easy class to be honest as long as you do the homework and understand it. The midterm and final should both be easy as long as you understand the homework and attend all dicussions. There was one problem from discussion on both midterm and final, so you should definitely attend discussions. They were like homework type problem. I am mad that I slacked off and didnt put enough effort, otherwise I would have gotten at least an A-.

Professor Review:
Professor's lecture were really easy and clear to understand. He would go out of his way to help you understand something if you dont quite understand. He frequently interacts with the class and posts brainteaser problem during the break where he challenges his students to solve it.

I would highly recommend taking this class with Professor Candler if you intend to take this specific course for elective or as a requirement.
