| course comments : | Straight forward course, more so than 205. Just a bunch of equations you have to apply to whatever. |

| grade received : | B+ |
| class rating : | 3 - Good |
| class comments : | Wish I could have gotten an A, but those tests weren't easy, especially not that final! I didn't use the book much, not as much as in 205. |

| instructor rating : | 4 - Awesome |
| instructor comments : | Patty's fantastic. He's partially retired, but this old guy was up hopping on the table and stuff. Nice man. |

| class comments : | Demonstrations were cool (I stuck my hand in liquid nitrogen! rock!). Tests were difficult but he is lenient. The lab was a lot more fun than the lab for 205 was. |

| course rating : | 2 - Average |
| course comments : | 208 is just a step up from 205. No real high school stuff here except for mirrors and lenses, but it can be interesting if you enjoy physics to begin with. |
| class : | Fall 2003 section 005 |
| grade received : | A- |
| class rating : | 2 - Average |
| class comments : | A sleeper. Patty does some good demos and shocks himself a lot, but the lecture is a bore. |
| instructor : | Patty |
| instructor rating : | 2 - Average |
| instructor comments : | He speaks english, albeit quietly, and he knows his physics. Other than that, he's a boring old guy. |

| course comments : | the material is easy to learn if you put forth the effort. |
| class : | Fall 2004 section 003 |
| grade received : | C |
| class rating : | 3 - Good |
| class comments : | I was slack and received a slack grade, but it really was a pretty straightforward course. You're expected to come to class, so real attendance policy. He gives homework, webassigns and examples which are exactly like the tests. Taking notes, reading the book and doing the work is key. The solutions manual helps a WHOLE lot too. Plus we got half a sheet of paper to write whatever we wanted on it for the test. |
