<p>Has anyone taken Physics 7A with English or Zettl? I'd like to know how the instructors are before I register. =)</p>

<p>Zettl hands down.</p>

3

<p>what is Zettl, I know what English is</p>

<p>It's the instructor's name.</p>

<p>I am taking Zettl's Physics 7B right now and most of my friends took 7A with him last semester. His exams are challenging. The mean on the 2 midterms were around 75%. I just took his final yesterday and it was the hardest exam I have taken at Berkeley after two semesters here. Homeworks take 1-2 hours per week for me, and are not very hard, but exams are just at another level.</p>

<p>I don't know the other professor.</p>

<p>75% mean is not bad at all for Physics 7 series. Most other professors have their mean around 65%, some even as low as 50%</p>

<p>LOL. Yeah, 75% mean on midterms is quite high for Physics 7.</p>

<p>I thought the final was pretty easy...I had seen Problem 1 before (dont know where). Problem 2 was ez. Problem six was on the hw. Problems 3 and 7 were very doable. </p>

<p>Problems 4 and 5 were tough for me, but if you just do the logical method, the graders give you half points at least.</p>

<p>It is probably going to have a similar mean to the midterms. A very fair final.</p>

<p>Zettl's class is quickly filling up, especially the decent discussion sections. It looks like English is a postdoc. Is this perhaps the first class he's taught fully, and is that something to be wary of? Does anyone know what to expect from English?</p>

<p>damn, I was planning to sign up for Physics 7A in Phase II. Seems like all the freshman beat me to it.....arghhhhhhh</p>
