Currently taking PHY 2140 with her and the class is great. The exams were basically questions picked from the webassign and homework problems. I would definitely recommend taking Physics with Punya. Do the homework problems and everything else in the class is a breeze.

very nice and understanding professor. very helpful especially in her office hours. her exams are made to test us and not make us look dum. i still had to study hard because i didn't know the math. but if you do the homework and get the help you know you should fine

I LOVE this woman! i want here to be my grandmother. Had her for physics 1 and 2 and ended both classes with over 100% and i had never taken physics before these classes and HATE math... Punya is always willing to help and wants her students to do well. She is very motherly and will do anything for you... TAKE HER!

If you have a chance to take one of her classes DO IT! I can't say enough good things about her. Learn the practice exams inside and out and you're golden! I struggled through 2130, and understood this class perfectly!

She is soooo wonderful! I struggled so hard in 2130 but her examples and notes are very clear and understandable. She is always willing to help, very motivating, plus the physics resource center is open all week for free tutoring.

This class was easy. Go to class, do the homework, the practice problems and you're definitely set for her exams. An A is very do-able.

Pro. Talagala is an excellent lecturer, I recommend her for the quiz section as well if she teaches it. When you introduce other people for the quiz section it introduces room for an unfair wack job instructor. Test are straightforward, and those who saif final was a killer was probably because they didn't do the homework during the semester.

Comment:

Most of the students in this class were pre-med. I was not impressed, they make me want to attend med-school. Class is straight forward, and an A is very attainable. I had her for 2130 and 2140 and earned A's in both, so I can say from experience don't buy the book or do the homework and ur toast. Her test have become more geared from the homework.

Comment:

LISTEN: All I did to get an A is her old exams!!!! But she got a little tricky on the last 2 exams, why, because people were doing so good and not just that they all talk about the old exams in front of her, so she realized and made class a little harder

Good class. She surprised the class by giving an extremely difficult final exam. Still managed an extremely decent grade without ever opening the 250 dollar book.
