Comment:

What in the world was that? She can't talk and can't write on the board. I got nothing out of this class. If you've had the math background it's a cakewalk, if not, you'll be clueless. Take calc 2 before this, it helps a lot.

Comment:

Completely over my head, not because the material was hard but she she solved problems with stuff that we weren't supposed to know. If you are not an engr major with alot of math background do not take her at all. She can help you if you go to her office but I recommend taking another teacher.

I had her a sub for bradley for 2-3 weeks. Some of the worst physics classes of my life. Put me to sleep. Did not prepare us at all for bradley's quiz and test. stay away from her!

Comment:

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Her tests are killer and her lectures are unclear. She talks over your head and goes off on tangents. Assigned a HMWK prob. that no one could figure out (not even my TA in lab)! When I asked her about it, she refused to explain & got huffy. Bad teacher- not what you spend $ for!

Comment:

Do not take this class! Instead, take someone else! She is so hard to follow during lecture and jums from one idea to the other. He tests are killer! I had to retake this class b/c I got a D and I had an A in lab....DO NOT TAKE DR. MARCUM!

Comment:

I dont see how anybody could find this class interesting. She says things like, "I get upset when students talk about centripetal force." Who says that?? More quotes, "A totally unrelated but somewhat related situation."

Comment:

This is a really tough class. You're kind of skrewed if you have no previous background in this type of physics. But, she is very helpful if you go to her office. The quizes aren't bad if you do the HW. The final was mostly stuff from test 3.

Comment:

As long as you go to class and do the homework you will be fine. Tests are hard and require studying but its still doable. Lab grade brings everything up. You take 4 tests including final, top 3 count so you can opt out of the final.

Entertaining, take good notes and do homework and Quizes are A's, exams are tough, but do-able. Labs are too easy.

I loved the class even though it was hard to me If you had questions she would help you to understand. All hw and notes are on-line along with your grades by alias If you know physics you'll do good, not it could be hard. Great teacher little wierd nice!!
