Make sure to do your homework as a lot of tests are based off of it. Make sure to ask questions if you don’t understand. His class was arguably one of my favourites as he’s quite good at teaching.

Make sure you do the homework, especially the chapter reviews. When you don't understand something, don't wait. Go and ask for help, especially with Quantum Theory. It can be really tricky at first.

He's an okay teacher, at least for my style of learning. He knows his stuff but his words never seemed to get through to me. He has great analogies though, gotta give him that.
