Fall 2020 - I first want to thank my amazing TA Raja Chandni for getting me through this course, she is a literal godsend and I would take her again in a heartbeat for any future courses. Now moving onto the review of the course/professor, I'd say firstly DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE LIGHT WORKLOAD. Yes, there are no problem sets, but the exams Vogel gives are hard as shit and only have 6-8 questions. During COVID, this class was completely asynchronous which made it so much harder to stay motivated and on track (made no better by the fact that Vogel has the most monotone voice in the world). I'd say his lecturing style and slides are not the best, but not the worst either, and I came out of each lecture knowing like most of the material (like I said though, idk if I'd have learned anything fully if not for my TA). Capitalize on the relatively easier first midterm to cushion you for the second one/final and review his practice exams/extra questions like they're the bible. I'd go above and beyond to really understand the material, as Vogel throws curveballs and new types of problems on exams, which are pretty easy if you understand the underlying concepts. Good luck
