Zocchi's 105A is like what you would expect for a university physics class.
His lectures are clear and he's really a nice guy. The key of this class is the formulation of Lagrangian, and that's something you have to do a lot of practice on. Homework problems are hard and really needs some time, but they are really helpful for me to know the course materials. Sometimes there are some problems that requires a bunch of calculation, but they will not appear on the tests.
Tests are somewhat difficult. They mainly focus on the ideas and concepts, so once you've figured out what you should do, the calculation would not torture you. And tests are curved so seems like we will be alright.
Very average experience overall. Not exceptionally good, nor bad in terms of teaching/learning. Zocchi is an enjoyable personality and very nice. Lecture's can be a bit dry/unclear at times but explanations can be found in textbooks/online. Homework amount is very manageable. Mathematica component is a huge time sink, but graded very leniently so set your priorities appropriately. Tests somewhat difficult but class grades are curved significantly to reflect that. Wish more was provided in terms of slides/review materials/etc. Very typical physics course experience.
