Extremely boring course but an easy A. The workload is very manageable 99% of the time apart from the group reports which ramped up the amount of work during the weeks they were due. This course did not teach me much about physics nor coding. Would not take again.
The professor can be a bit unclear, but she is very nice and very willing to help. Exams are exactly like homework. Very easy class I would say.
Pros: Professor is nice, she follows the Griffiths book closely and tightly, so you feel secure about what you learnt. She has all materials pre-posted, notes (handwritten)/lecture videos. Plus the book, you know where to find answers for things.
Cons: She finishes all the content exactly the class before the final. You get homework during Thanksgiving and before finals week, on new content. Also, there's 4 in-class quizzes (one cancelled due to the strike) and a midterm. Overlapped with other classes, you get no week of break and constantly have to deal with it. Quizzes are fine though, they are just simplified HW problems, with integrals and formulas provided. It's just the class is constantly on you and stressing you.
You probably have to pick between her and Regan and I think it's 50/50. Regan throws lots of stuff at you without notes/context, but you'll be delighted. This is a normal book-following class, not as exciting, but you won't feel imposter syndrome and study at YRL until 6. Workload is 50/50.
Don't take her, enough said.
The review right below is very comprehensive. Sums up everything I had in mind.
tl;dr Avoid taking her, there are many many much better physics professors than Ni Ni
