I thought Rombes did a good job with this class -- historically I've heard that the Physics department at UCLA sucked and people struggled to pass, but I thought that Rombes was super approachable and actually cared about student learning. He offered exams to either be taken in person or on Zoom, and the questions were reasonable. When students thought a question was hard, he was very lenient with partial credit! Our mastering physics had unlimited tries for 5A, but he changed it to 5 tries when I took 5C with him. Overall would recommend his class!

Dr. Rombes is very approachable, and I felt comfortable asking questions in his class. His lectures were clear, and I was able to understand the concepts even having never taken a physics class in my life. The mastering physics was challenging at times, but I felt that the problems definitely helped me learn the material better, and high activity from the class on campuswire allowed me to get help on problems I was stuck on. The midterms and final were also pretty challenging, but the lectures prepare you well for them. This is a good class to take if you're like me and have never taken physics before.

Theres a bunch of mastering physics problems for homework every week which is so tedious. other than that its and alright class
