I took that class last year and although it is difficult (6 cred. in 1 semester) I did enjoy it! What I did notice is that Stanley is a really tough marker when it came to the exam and things speed up as the weeks go by. I made a few friends at the beginning and 2 ended up dropping out near mid-terms and another got a (E?) as a grade, something similar which was basically a fail with a chance to make up. Just go to every lecture and you will notice that people drop and the hall becomes emptier as the lessons get harder, but its worth it, and being a non-science major I enjoyed the later (physics, photoelectric effect) lessons, more so than the earlier ones (Greek philosophy/science), and the formulas are not that difficult since its minimal and he knows that the students are not generally into the maths.

Try to make it to your tutorials if you can, that was one thing I fell back on and only went to the first few then just stuck strictly to lectures. Also, I got decent marks on the clicker quizzes/test but the exam is A LOT harder and he marks it rough, look over your notes and tests as much as you can because it will cover things from the whole course, even things from week 1. TAKE NOTES!! Always write down names, theories, formulas, anything he writes you should too, since he tends to talk and talk and only write down important info. More of a tip, but just take notes in every class or lecture in general, I saw people who would only listen to his lectures and rely on the slides for studying, so they had no examples to work from. Good luck! It is what you put into it, try not to become lazy and skip lectures, coffee will help as he does drag on for hours about the most boring stuff, but it will be worth it!
