The course covers introductory relativity and can be initially challenging but becomes more manageable with practice. It's good for students who enjoy math and are willing to put in extra effort for self-study. Exams tend to be easier than the homework, making it possible to achieve high grades.

Grading

Grading is generally generous; some full marks on assignments and exams, but final exams can be more difficult.

Workload

Workload is moderate with a mix of homework and exams. Students need to self-study for reinforcement, especially in the first half of the course.

Assessments

Teaching

Teaching varies; some find it engaging with a humorous professor, while others find it dry. Homework is crucial for understanding the material.
