Mediocre unit, labs are the worst part of it as they are 3+ hours and you need a lab partner that actually does work. Tests are fine if you understand the content, the workload is a lot with an assignment being released every week which takes about 1hour 30min to complete, and ontop of that you need to take ur own notes from pre-recorded lectures that takes about 2 hours per week. Tests and exams are multiple choice though which is a small positive

Interesting content for students who enjoy physics and maths. However, labs are often confusing and difficult. Not only this you are expected to use excel for the labs by Gareth who gets quite annoyed if you try to do it by hand. Next, mechanics… poorly taught and Ralph just mocks you for getting a bad score. Often had terrible averages. However, exam is not too hard with enough study. Darren puts a lot of love into the subject and made it enjoyable in the end

A very enjoyable unit with the assessments being pretty straightforward as they are multiple choice. However, the labs are stressful and marked very harshly. They are also very long, despite being three hours (which is already a long time), I was often there well into the fourth hour, waiting for marking. The teaching quality varied with the different lecturers, which was pretty annoying. Mechanics was taught the worst despite it being known for its difficulty. The weekly pracs were handy in consolidating knowledge, and the online Mastering Physics assignments were a good form of assessment.

Exam was challenging and confusing. Labs were 3 hours long and marked very harshly (depending on your lab facilitator)

Great unit where the content is provided in very comprehensive lecture notes, and the lecturers are fantastic. There is quite a lot of work to do, but its definitely achievable and helped keep me accountable in my study.

Decent content, and all tests and exams are multi choice. That being said the questions can get quite hard. Main downside to the unit is the labs as they are 3 hours long. I would advise aiming to finish in less than 2.5 hours as otherwise you could be there waiting for marking well into the 4th hour. Also, Darren is a goat.

The content was interesting but the multiple lecturers was very hard to follow. The labs felt more like an arduous task to get marks than interesting experiment.

Good start for phys. Make sure you have the textbook as they double the joy along the journey! The mechanics bit was a bit challenging for me and I would recommend reading the textbook for that part as they helped me more than the lectures.

Lecturers were very varied and same with difficulty. Mechanics was taught the worst and seemed to be the hardest part. Overall, I enjoyed this unit. There were plenty of practice tests and exams and available which was a huge help. Final exam is a 30 q multichoice which was not too terrible but definitely not easy

Teaches how to solve physics exams, not physics
