Jesse Sabatini pretty much taught this course and I would recommend him over the professor any day. Sabatini helped everyone understand the material a lot better and provided very knowledgable yet also entertaining lab lectures to us.

The lab seems pretty daunting at first but the key is to be as relaxed as possible. Alot of times, results don't matter so it's best to understand what is happening so you can get points where they do matter, the lab report. Also, you don't have to go to your TA's office hours but you should go to some especially for some tips on post lab questions. I recommend Jesse Sababtini although he does go on alot of tangents.
No one know how grades are dettermined in this class. The final exam was really really hard and I felt the more unprepaired for the final exam than I have ever felt on any other exam (I thank the professor for that).
Best way to do well in this class is to go to office hours each week and get to know your TA so that you know what they expect to see in your reports. If you do that, and put a reasonable amount of time into it, you can do well. And study your *** off for the final exam.
this class was only manageable because of my TA April...otherwise it totally sucked
Dr. Hunt is the most difficult professor I have known and the most unapproachable as well. He requires to do post labs, which no one has any clue how to do. The grading system is the weirdest I have ever known as well. Plus, the final, way too hard for an undergraduate course. Plan and simple, Professor Hunt is too intelligent for this course and needs to resign from it. The T.A.'s are the reason why I made it through the course.
Really hard course...requires a lot of preparation and postlab work.
Professor assumes you know much more than you do and covers things way to fast and provides no way for you to catch up. Discourages the asking of questions because of his assumption that you know everything without considering that most of the class is lost...TA Jesse Sabatini is really good
A very un-fun class. No one is really sure how the grading system works, which makes everyone super-competitive and on-edge all semester. The final is the hardest you'll take.
