Prof Hellings was a great professor and he did a good job at making the difficult concepts simpler to understand. He did add in physics concepts a lot of times that were harder to understand, but they were useful and not on the exams. There were 3 regular exams and a final exam for this class. The material got more difficult by the 3rd exam, and the topics build on each other so it's important to go to office hours early if you don't understand something. There were weekly homeworks and pre-class videos but there were no quizzes. Overall, the class is tough but Prof Hellings makes it easier to understand and conceptualize.

I have no complaints about hellings or the class. He's a nice professor with easy to understand lectures. The homework prepares you for the tests well and he is a flexible with extensions etc. I would reccommend

Professor Hellings is a sweet professor. You can tell from his lessons that he is super passionate about the subject and really wants to see his students learning. He is really nice and super helpful during office hours and about emailing him for questions. I also found that his lessons during lectures were a lot more helpful than the textbook. While the textbook is a tad dense, his lessons were clear and help you digest the topics and see connections between chapters a lot more.

With four midterms, this class is definitely a kicker. Hellings didn't have quizzes so take that as you will as far as making the tests harder or easier. Still, def recommend!
