Fall 2022 - Overall, I like Professor Hamilton’s Physics 1C! The class was interesting and relatively straightforward. Grading: 20% HW; 5% Discussion WS; 20% MT1; 20% MT2; 35% Final; 1% EC (course evaluation) Midterm (each): 100 points, 3 problems, 50 minutes, allowed to bring one letter sized sheet of notes (front and back) to the exam. Average (mean): ~76% MT1, ~84% MT2. He said he made MT2 easier because the average for MT1 was lower than he expected. Final: 200 points, 6 problems, allowed to bring 2 sheets of notes to the exam. Average: ~85%. We had enough time for the exams, and his practice exams resemble the actual exams well. The grading was generous and we had regrade opportunities for both midterms and the final. He responds to Piazza questions really fast and has lots of OH. The lectures, notes, slides, and class in general are all very organized.
