Very standard upper div. The homework was pretty heavily weighted and was fairly difficult as well. However, pretty doable and a nice boost if you do well on it. I definitely recommend starting it early and using as many resources as you can (office hours, lectures, extra textbooks/websites) to make sure you do well on it. The midterm was pretty straightforward, open book with a time limit. The final was a lot more difficult, both because the material was more difficult and because I thought the time limit was a little harsher. Overall, though, I thought there was a pretty generous grade scaling that made up for the timing issues. Definitely work to get the right answers on the homework so you have that cushion, and run through a lot of practice problems for the tests. Other than that, lectures weren't super useful and his notes could get confusing, so I did most of my learning by working through the homework problems and doing the lecture sample problems on my own. Also definitely run through all the equations and what they're used for so that you aren't scrambling through your notes for the final. Probably would take this class again because it was relatively low stress and a lighter workload.

The best way to do well in this class is to thoroughly do all of the homework problems.
Exam questions are very similar to homework problems, lecture examples, and discussion problems.
Lectures are fairly dry, so it's up to you to review on your own.

Definitely knows his subject but lectures were not very engaging amd felt very long. You will often find youself relying on the book and TA to complete HW and tests were doable if you have studied the practice tests he gives out

Good lecturer. He explained things clearly even though it could get boring at times. Would recommend him on 2x speed if you have access to his recorded lectures. Homeworks were difficult, especially towards the middle of the quarter, but his exams were very fair. Would recommend.

This class was fine. Lectures were long, complicated derivations of equations, but the derivations really didn't matter. As long as you write the actual equations down they're easy to apply - you literally just plug numbers into them and solve. Exams and homework were fair, and Khalid Jawed was a nice guy, the only issue was his lectures were pretty boring. Discussion sections basically gave the answers to the homework, which was key.

Prof has uber confusing lectures and challenging homework with textbook that he constantly points out has tons and tons of mistakes. Cant tell what the prof is asking for. Try to but cant read textbook to catch up on what the professor rushes over because its filled with so many mistakes. Makes his own homework that includes material he didn't talk about in class and you can't find help online to figure out what he wants.
