Fall 2022 - ngl most recent review is completely wrong lol. This was quite hard compared to 105D with Lavine at least. It was similar in content except he derived everything in a more convoluted way often with a lot of mistakes and missed steps. Also he would stand directly in front of the board while writing and then just stand and stare at it after he finished so it was difficult to follow along. It went a bit beyond 105D in content but it's mostly just additional formulas and methods to use for a wider range of problems. Dhir had a few jokes but he is not the friendliest since he often had some snappy responses to people answering his questions incorrectly. He had a hard time understanding people's questions since the material is so easy to him. Homeworks (15%) were only a few questions but holy hell they are complex. They were beyond the class material, and it was annoying to spend so much time interpolating tables to find properties to use. Make sure you use your resources *wink*. He lectures on derivations a lot but just tune that out because you don't need to know it (and you won't learn them successfully anyway unless you go to the TA (shoutout Atindra the goat) ). Open note tests are nice, but the final was a little challenging (50% final, 25% midterm). There is a group design project (10%) that is annoying but it's really just a long homework problem. TA was very helpful for that. I wouldn't really recommend this class but you'll survive it if you have to.
