Great STEM class for a non-STEM person. Loved learning about the solar system, cool projects that felt like puzzles, but are a bit challenging so try to find good group members. Quizzes make up most of the grade, they are generally not too hard if you can reference the textbook and if you listen in class. Super nice and accessible prof.

This class is very interesting. It's only composed of bi-monthly quizzes, group projects and homework. If you're worried abt your grade bc of the quizzes, DO THE EXTRA CREDIT!! overall this was a great class and you can get an A just by paying attention at lectures (he's very engaging).

Very interesting class and nice guy. He really tries to make the lectures interesting and engaging. The quiz questions can sometimes be really hard and worth a ton of points, so be careful with the quizzes. Everything else is easy points if you do the work (homework and group projects) He's very funny and smart and the topics are interesting!

Professor Errando is amazing! I had him for Fall 2020 and he worked really hard to make the class interesting. His lectures are engaging and interesting, the non-reading homeworks were really easy, and there were some cool group project(s). If you just read the weekly readings from the textbooks then it's an easy A.

If you are not a STEM person and looking for an NSM distribution credit, take 125A! Errando is very nice, his class is easy, and he keeps the material engaging. Group work is common (but not hard) and you need to participate in class. Quizzes were easy on Zoom (open note) but may be harder in person.

If you have the chance, take physics with Dr. Errando. He gives amazing explanations and every single lecture is well structured. You will learn a lot and be very well prepared for the exams.

The subject matter was really interesting and the homework was relatively easy, but the quizzes were hard and each question counted for quite a lot. So if you missed a few, you were in trouble.

Very interesting course material covered at a relatively easy level. Exams are easy, beware the grading on the homeworks. He is very funny, I highly enjoyed the class.

He can explain quantum physics to a five year old and, perhaps even more impressively, to ME. He uses the simplest, hands on examples to depict quite complicated theories and equations, and he is is so funny (both with the things he says, and the way he uses his entire body to teach) that scary numbers become friendly adventures. Take his class!
