Winter 2021 - I absolutely loved the previous course in this series (PHYSICS 4AL) and I thought I learned a lot and had a wonderful TA. Derek single handedly ruined this course ( PHYSICS 4BL) for me. It is important to note, that while his grading was very harsh and often took off points that were unexplained as assignment requirements, it was his attitude as an instructor was even worse. He always gave off that nothing was worth his time and the lecture materials he gave at the beginning of class were given as straight emotionless reading off the slides. Whenever anyone in my group had a question he always seemed incredibly bothered to have to respond and would do so in a demeaning manner. Several times when called in to the breakout room, he would say he would come back in several minutes then never did. I lost all motivation to do this course solely because of how unpleasant every lab section is with him in charge. (For clarity this was taken during the pandemic and thus was all online) --> Fun Class, just avoid this TA.
