| course comments : | If you had physics in high school, this class is basically a more indepth look at the same material. |

| class comments : | This was a scale up section, and it was pretty interesting. ANytime the class got boring, i just surfed the net. We did a lot of handson stuff too, and the labs were fun and interesting. |

| course comments : | I did NOT like scale-up physics. Material was of average difficulty, I had physics in high school. |

| class comments : | Scale-up did not match my style of learning. It sounds weird, but I (sometimes weird and complicated ones) and not enough just straight up equations and calculations. The class seemed to fast paced and...chaotic for my tastes. I never had a sense of completion or learning. |
| instructor : | Beichner |
| instructor rating : | 3 - Good |
| instructor comments : | He's a good teacher all in all, he wrote the damn book. But again, scale-up wasn't clicking it for me, and Beicher I think is the spearheader of the scale-up program. |
