This elective class was very laid back and relaxed compared to the other physci classes I've taken. Edgerton is all about the thinking process and not pure memorization. The midterm was a take-home one (2 essays). The assignments were research proposals that required a lot of thinking and research, which he helped you with. The only issue is that he is so busy that he doesn't have as much time for the students as I've been used to. You have to catch him RIGHT after class or else, good luck. He missed several classes to travel on behalf of his research as well. The final exam was taken at home and open note, but because it was essay-style, graded harshly. Overall, the material of the class was interesting but the way his slides were presented were often confusing. The testing methods really allowed me to barely study and in turn, I don't think I learned as much as I could have in this class.I got an A- since I worked hard on the exams and assignments, but I still think the class is very poorly organized.

the person below is actually incorrect- Dr. Garfinkel is in fact, a Woodrow Wilson fellow, not a Truman Scholar. Nonetheless, everything that has been said about him is true. His charisma is undeniable, and his passion for teaching resonates amongst all students inside the room. He breaks down difficult concepts into easily understandable words- Albert Einstein once said that a true genius is capable of breaking down difficult concepts to a layman. According to Einstein, Dr. Garfinkel is a true genius. Take his courses! (I took PS 138)
