He describes my experience in undergrad physics (and graduate engineering) pretty well. You get some examples to motivate a new theory, and then they jump right to the Schrodinger equation and expect you to fall back on what you know about turning the crank in boundary value problems. I didn't hear the word 'Hermitian' for a long time.
