Spring 2023 - DO NOT TAKE - Probably the worst professor I've had in all of my time here at UCLA. Not only does Prof. Naranjo not record lectures, he writes sloppily and trails off mid sentence. His lectures are incoherent to the point where nobody even goes. I taught myself this class because his lectures are wholly inadequate. He takes weeks to post/grade anything and doesn't communicate with the TAs or write the tests until the morning of so there is no way to know what might end up on the tests. Additionally, he was extremely rude to me when I sought help and made me feel stupid for doing so. Overall, this class isn't bad material-wise but take another professor like your life depends on it.

Spring 2023 - Professor Naranjo is one of those physics professors who doesn't believe in plug-and-chug questions, there is not one number to be found in any of his tests. He definitely is one of those professors who grossly overestimates the class' background knowledge in math and physics, so lecture can be hard to follow. Although he cares about his students' learning and is actually pretty understandable during office hours, lectures are a lost cause - he is sadly not an engaging lecturer and his handwritten notes are impossible to decipher. He is quite lenient on homework - although it is not fully completion, if an earnest attempt at solving each question is made, with some reasoning behind it, you should usually get full points.
