Most Helpful Review
Fall 2020 - Prof Nayana is a very understanding professor and he takes feedback from students to heart. His lectures are and explanations for concepts are generally pretty solid, and he's really helpful in office hours. You can tell he really cares and wants his students to do well. Mandatory workload is not high at all, just Kudu problems once every 1-2 weeks, but this class is based on a curve and so it's very competitive. Studying outside class and doing harder textbook problems can be very useful. His challenge questions are especially useful but difficult, mimicking the difficulty of his exams, so it's best to study them well. He loves bicycles in physics. Just wheels in general. He also likes friction a lot. Would take again.
