Comment:

Higgins is extremely disorganized. Her lectures were confusing and patchy. She also frequently derailed her own lessons with LONG stories about her personal life. You need to read the book and be able to teach yourself outside of class. Its very unprofessional that she brought up more then once that she could have a better job then teaching.

Comment:

If your are terrible at science you will hate this class. There is a TON of homework (every week) but I'm pretty sure that's with every physical science course. She is patient and helpful and will let you turn in papers late. This course was a pain to get through but I think she is the best professor to help you get through it.

she is very caring and helpful. she does care about the success of the students and will help you every step of the way if you have open communication with her, if she does not know then she cant help you. she is blunt and to the point. respect her and she will respect you back. i would absolutely take her class again

Comment:

While professor Higgins is nice and sweet, she is mildly incompetent at being an effective Physics professor. Her lectures are often confusing and she herself sometimes struggles to do the calculations. I had to learn most of the material at my own time at home, as her lectures were insufficient and ineffective.

Comment:

I am in her College Physics 1 class and it is the worst experience I've ever had. We started with 45 people, and are now down to 15-20. She's very disorganized, does not explain well, and cannot even do the homework herself. She does not prepare you well for any of her exams, and does not give partial credit or curve. 10/10 would not recommend.

Comment:

I took this class over the summer in an 8 week format and it was the single worst class experience I've had. She's disorganized and her lectures are all over the place. Refused to curve at all even when the whole class worked a problem the way she showed us. She can't work through the homework herself.

Comment:

Her lectures are very disorganized and extremely hard to understand. At times it seemed that she did not understand what she was trying to convey either. She cannot even solve her own problems. She misgrades papers and miscalculates grades. It is very difficult to do the job of the student, much less the job of the professor on top of that.

She's a tough professor to understand when she is trying to explain her lectures, its a very tough class you have to learn on your own but she will help you if you ask for the help.

BJ is very casual in class, but her lectures can be confusing, she doesn't do a particularly great job explaining the difficult topics. Tests are ok, but you must study on your own, don't rely on lecture notes to get by.

Terrible professor, very unorganized and always late to class. Her lectures were bad and she got MANY examples wrong and didn't care to correct them. Taught myself everything using the book.

Comment:

She's all over the place when it comes to lectures, gets her own example problems wrong, and isn't organized. I had to teach myself about a lot of the concepts to understand. Her tests aren't so bad, but you're kinda on your own when it comes to learning.

Comment:

I had BJ for my Chem Lab professor and I loved her! She is really nice and funny and will help you individually throughout the lab when you don't understand how to do something. She is really lenient on her grading. I made full credit on almost every lab. Works with you and very understanding when it comes to turning in labs late.

I was extremely bored in her class. Almost learned more from reading the text book than her. The practice tests are similar to the actual tests. Dull dull class.

Comment:

I made an easy A in there, but that's mainly because her practice tests were almost identical to her actual tests. I was always extremely confused on the homework, and often just scribbled garbage on my paper and didn't worry about it because I knew I was going to get a 100 on every test. She said she's doing away with the practice test, though.

Comment:

She is by far the worst professor I have had. There's no clarity. It's simply writing things on the board and asking, "ya'll have any questions"? While people give blank stares, and just subconsciously know she can't explain it clearly to them if she tried. Save yourself. Don't take her.

Comment:

She is a nice person. She just should not be teaching!When you do entire problems wrong that should say something right there! You are the professor! I shouldn't have to make sure you did it correctly.I dropped after she gave us our homework to study for a test and it wasn't even graded so for all I know they were all wrong!I would take her again!

Nice teacher but can be confusing at times. She does whole problems wrong and forgets things often. On a plus side as long as you do the sample test she gives you will do fairly well in the class. Also do all your homework because it counts for a lot.

Comment:

Oh she's nice enough, but what good is that if you dont understand anything she says. Im an A student and can usually get thru any class but not this one with this teacher. She really needs to learn to explain in a dif way, as if we havent already taken the class. Frustrating!!
