This class is literally amazing. As long as you have Mark Van Raamsdonk you're blessed.

Mark Van Raamsdonk is a god. If you love physics, you'll love his classes. If you hate physics, you'll still love his classes.

Difficulty wise, this course is nothing special. A little bit of work will guarantee you an A in this course. I did not work at all so I ended up getting a B.

UBC is so wily to have him teaching PHYS 157. First year students are attracted by his lecture and forget what's happening in some other horrible courses. The course is overall pretty easy, and the professor is very patient.

Practice more and pay attention to lecture problems

Very good introductory course, lots of interesting topics.

Do all the course materials, on exams dont leave questions blank, there are many part marks.

Good introductory university physics course, very interesting

The course centers on special relativity and introduces some really cool concepts

Mark Van Raamsdonk was an amazing teacher; His passion for physics beams out of him.

Don't take this course if you're not into physics
