Fall 2020 - Professor Goorsky is an amazing professor. He explains everything clearly and doesn't rush through the topics. After having a bad experience in 104, his passion for the subject material was refreshing and got me excited about materials science again. He genuinely cares if the students in his class learn the material and is always willing to help kids out. The practice exams matched up really well with the tests so they prepared you for all the types of questions you could see on the exam. The TA was also super helpful.
