Comment:

Her tests are made insanely harder than need be, is ten times harder than any bio course or chemistry course here. Her teaching style consists of... not teaching but instead lecturing for 20 minutes and has you figure out how to do practice problems on your own. I would not think about taking her again.

Comment:

Best professor I've ever had. She is very caring about her students, and is always willing to help. The material was very difficult, but she did a great job making it easier to understand. Her tests lack numbers, but are heavy on theory, which is great if you understand concepts and not just plug and chug. Take her if you can, she is awesome.

Comment:

Ms. Crawford is an exceptional professor. I had the pleasure of being one of her students. I feel I gained more from her physics class than most other courses at the university. Dr. Crawford speaks with a pleasant Dutch accent and engages her students with interesting analogies and ideas.

I have always done fairly well in Physics until I took a physics class from her. Avoid at all costs. She is terrible.

Comment:

Very hard class! She doesn't explain the material well, and expects you to understand anyways. She'll go through a whole problem and not give the answer so you can't figure out if you did it right or not. Made me despise physics.. avoid at all costs

Comment:

Horrible teacher. Does not teach well at all. Places responsibility of not understanding on the whole class. If only one person did not get it, it would be one thing. But she blames the whole class for 'having a mental block against physics'. Don't take her!

She is a nice teacher but not a good teacher. She is very helpful although she is confusing and saracastic. She does not scale which bites. Good Luck.
