As long as you kept up with the readings and talked to her when you needed clarification, it wasn't difficult. She truly loves physics and teaching and it shows.

Note that negative comments below are from people in her non-physics majors classes. She is beloved and valued as a teacher by all the majors and students who aren't just looking (in vain, apparently) for an easy QR.

She is extremely clear and helpful, and knows the material incredibly well. Her ability to explain the material is kickin'. She also has the sweetest halloween costumes ever. She isn't there to make you laugh, she's there to teach you physics.

Not the most stimulating lecturer, but she's really good at explaining the material, and she's more than willing to go out of her way to help you out.

Comment:
Turner's teaching skills leave much to be desired. Her method of lecture is poorly planned and without direction, and to repeat what others have said, her quizzes (exams in particular) have little to do with the material covered in the class, the homework, and the labs.

Comment:
Turner is a nice woman. However, she is also one of the most boring professors to ever blight the college. Her lectures are hopelessly convuluted and her tests seem to have no association with the material discussed in class.

Comment:
While Ms. Turner is a very nice woman, she's a terrible teacher. Not only is she boring as anything in class, she often gets her facts wrong and has to be corrected. Her intro astronomy class is so easy as to be painful.
