...difficult (though most find it more sleep-inducing). Although it is still quite mathy—you aren’t through with partial derivatives just yet—the models, equations, problem sets and tests are more straightforward as you repeatedly encounter the same set ups and basic problems. For those not coming from 1011a, 1011b will have challenging math. But if you’re prepared to scratch your head a bit and give it your all, the class will be manageable. Fortunately, it’s certainly not as demanding as Professor Aleh Tsyvinski?...
...Michael Sandel, is a perpetual crowd-pleaser.

Instead of running your own interpretation of the readings through your TF’s critical analysis filter...
...dying to impress kindergarteners? Then Science A is for you!Even if you don’t know MC-squared from MC Hammer, logging a semester in the Science Center is inevitable. But if you choose your science dose carefully, you will learn answers to those most basic and burning questions about the universe—and get a decent grade, even if you are a science-phobe.You will have to do a modicum of work—otherwise, you’ll find yourself melting down faster than you can say “TI-89 in a Bunsen burner...
...findings contribute to one of the most basic theories in physics, Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), which determines how light and charged particles interact...
