Spring 2023 - Kaner was once again amazing by making the class so engaging and interesting upon solid state which discusses a lot about crystals/solids. Weirdly, I would say it's very slightly easier than 171 with simpler concepts (1/4 of the class was just lattice structures again) and only 7 PS w/ easy grading. However, there are a LOT more concepts and Kaner classic, the midterm was crazy long and hard considering the time constraint. I bombed it (below average) but the final was less tricky and I did much better which landed me an A-. I would say the class overall was interesting and ofc Kaner just makes it more engaging.
