As someone who took AP Physics C in high school, the course felt fine, but without prior knowledge, I can see the course being difficult. During lectures, the professor assumes certain prior knowledge of things, so it can be tough to follow her lectures without asking her to clarify what she means. The professor is always willing to help, though. The homework is not bad at all, but the exams are not that much like the homework. However, pay attention to the discussion worksheet because most of the exams are from the worksheets. The professor does give a slight curve on the exams if the class doesn't do well, but the type of curve she uses is confusing. One time, she gave us a 5% increase on an exam, but another time, she gave us 5 free points for the exam but made the exam out of 105 (originally 100), so it didn't help that much while claiming its the same thing. Her grading scheme is kinda weird too; a B has a range of 2 percent while a B- has a range of 10 percent; I've never seen that before. Overall, Kamaha is a good and helpful person and kind of funny in her own way and accomplished too. Her tests can be easy if you study all of the discussion problems thoroughly, but she sometimes gives weird questions that come out of nowhere. She did make the final pretty manageable though.

Professor Kamaha is not the greatest lecturer I have ever had, but she is a really cool person who cares about teaching and her students' understanding. If you are confused go to office hours and she will help. I didn't take AP physics in high school and did fine, but I am a math major and did take regular physics so that definitely helped. Just do a lot of practice and look at the past midterms she gives.

physics is easily my worst subject, but this class was manageable enough. exams were very reasonable, if not EASY, and there was a curve at the end. prof revealed one of the problems from the final early as a gift, and a few questions were taken directly from the discussion worksheets (which you should review)

go to her office hour and get to know her. sometimes she might drop a little subtle hint about what will be on the test. Overall, I found lectures not very useful even though I went to lecture everyday. I didn't like her teaching methods (she talked in a low tone and that definitely didn't help.) She takes in feedback from midquarter survey and that definitely helped a lot. The discussion worksheets and past exams were really useful for the tests. She assigns homework every week and it takes around 2-3 hours to get done but it really helps understanding the material. Near the end of the quarter, I started reading the textbook before lectures and it helped with my understanding. I would recommend reading textbook on the topic before she covers it in class. This class wasn't an easy class but you don't need to avoid it. The class mean on both midterm 1 and 2 were 60. She boosted 10% for everyone who submitted a correction for midterm1. She added 5% to everyone for midterm 2 and promised that the final will be easier. The final was indeed easier. I like her as a person but she could improve her teaching imo.

I honestly cannot recommend this class enough. Kamaha was a great lecturer, and clearly is very knowledgeable about the material, and the content discussed is very engaging and interesting. The tests are pretty fair, in addition to a large chunk of the test being taken either directly from the slides, homework, or past exams, making an A very achievable in her class. She does occasionally have in-class worksheets (which we do together and take five minutes) which she uses for participation, but she certainly did not want anyone in the class to lose any points for participation (7% of the final grade). Attendance was not the best in class, with roughly half of the class showing up to most lectures (It was at 9am during the spring, but I believe this is not typical for this class), and still at least the lower quartile for attendance in canvas was a 100.
Again, the material is lots of fun, and honestly, for me, I enjoyed showing up to class in the morning, since it was a nice chill way to start the day.
