Professor Pindera is okay. He works out examples on the board, but his lecture notes consist solely of the examples (not worked out btw, just the picture taken from the textbook). He goes over these problems in great detail though, so as long as you review the chapter beforehand to actually learn the content, you can pretty easily follow along. This class is difficult because it goes from “super easy, basically just Physics 1 again” to “counter intuitive at every turn and hella confusing” very very quickly. I never got the hang of his office hours, but I suggest you go if you have any questions. And speak up in class. He prefers class participation, even stupid questions. The tests are short but difficult, so doing a TON of practice problems from the textbook is the way to go.
Pindera is a really nice guy and wants students to succeed, but I didn't think he was that great of a teacher. Unfortunately he takes attendance. This class is very repetitive and literally everything (lectures, homework, quizzes, and tests) comes from the textbook, so it's easy to do well even if you don't pay attention in class. Overall a decent class.
Everything about this class comes from problems in the book. The homework, quizzes, and tests are all directly taken from those chapters, and if you do practice problems (especially look over the practice tests!) you'll be fine. The lectures move a little fast sometimes, but office hours make up for that. Pindera's a great teacher, too
His lectures consist of only problems from the textbook, but he takes attendance. His lecture is problems from textbook, HW is problems from textbook, group quiz is problems from the textbook, and tests are problems from textbook. He isn't a great professor, but the problems are all super repetitive so once you get it, you're good for the rest of the semester. He tells you what will be on the tests which makes them really easy, but lectures are insanely boring.
Professor Pindera really wants his students to do well. This course is not one of the easiest courses but if you do the homework and pay attention in class there will be no surprises on the exam. Most of the time he will work out exam problems in class the day before the exam, so if your willing to put in the effort he is willing to help you.
