*This review is actually for Physics 1B

Sakai was a good professor to take, her review scores are unfairly deflated.

You should attend lecture, because she likes to write solutions to selected problems on the board, and these problems are similar to the ones used on her exams. She's not the best at controlling the powerpoints, but she does post slides and the content on these slides is both relevant to the course and the midterms. Attend lecture, she's personable and is really good at answering specific questions you have at the halfway point in one on ones.

Don't be afraid to point out errata, she isn't always right and she sends out and makes corrections if you do.

Attend office hours, she knows what she's talking about and is better at explaining concepts in small settings.

Exams are half computational, but you're going to want to really understand the mechanics of what you're working with; since the other half the problems could be described as curveballs or "concepts with a twist". You get a notecard of equations and notes if you want one, but if you need it for anything but double checking, you're not going to do well; her exams are timed aggressively. Her exams sometimes are occasionally poorly worded, ask for clarifications before beginning work if you're not sure exactly what's desired.

All in all, good professor, put the time in and you'll enjoy it too.
