Prof Corbin is by far the best physics teacher I've ever had... take him and u'll learn alot. However, like everyone said, it's hard... but it's not impossible. I worked my ass off and goes to his office hours all the time... and I ended up with an A. Thus, an A isn't impossible. Most ppl want to have an easy professor so they can bs their way through college... but I feel like I actually want to come to UCLA to learn. Thus, although Brent is hard, he'll definately help you alot in understanding the laws of physics. His first midterm was pretty easy... but it really varies cuz he changes his tests completely every quarter. To get an A... my best advice for u is... go to his physics workshops... he gives u his past exams... and just doing problems would help u. Reading the books will help u understand the concepts a lil better... but it wont really help u THAT much. If u run outta time to study... just do as many problems as u can and read over the notes.... oh yeah, workshop only works if u go everytime... it doesn't work magic if u only go once. Office hours help... but once again, u have to be consistent... Bottom line: Corbin is hard... but he is good
