Okay, not necessarily FOR physics, but mainly in signing up. This is for PY 205M next semester (Fall 2006). Any comments on the teachers? Chabay, Daniels, or Huffman?

Your help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

My only delving into physics was 3 astronomy classes. Of those Egler was by far the best and most humorous professor physics professor I’ve had. I guess that info isn’t really helpful unless you are planning on doing more physics down the road where you might run into that professor… so consider this post a Back To The Top post.

well chabay is the co-author of the book, if that matters

what is the M in 205M? I am assuming it stands for Matter and Interactions, but I thought that that was the only PY 205 that they offer now, so why is there an M?

i took scale up, and that was a breeze- there is no lab, and everything is explained to a level that even the dimmest of dimwits could understand it (i got an a+ goin to class stoned half of the time)

I had Chabay, she was pretty good. Tests were free response if that matters to you

PY 205 is so easy it doesn't really matter who's teaching it.

Chabay wasnt that bad, but she could come off as a pretty big smartass at times.

the teachers for the matter and interactions physics are all the same anyway (same homework, tests, lectures, etc..) so it really dosen't matter who you take for the class.
