Comment:

The CAPAs and calculation part of her midterms are made simple since she does so many example problems in her class. She got really behind in her lectures though so we sometimes did content for a CAPA that was due later that day, and we were rarely adequately prepared for the multiple choice section on her exams. The final is tough.

Comment:

She's a lovely lady with fun demonstrations and clear explanations during class time. However, she unexpectedly and habitually cancels her extra help time. Furthermore, I found her quite inapproachable and condescending when searching for extra help...and she was even confused about CAPA questions. If you need help, go to the resource centre.

Comment:

Terrible,terrible prof.Thank God for the Capas/resource center because otherwise I would have learned nothing.Ps.Her tests/exams have absolutely no relation to the capas or any material you covered in class.Does not respond to emails,and after chasing her for 2 weeksto set up a meeting she showed up half an hour late with a Tim Hortons cup in hand.

Comment:

She made the class really easy, but she follows right off her powerpoint slides, so that makes the class a bit boring sometimes. You really don't need to go to class. Any questions she explains and makes sure you understand the background behind why it happens. Very easy to get along with, sense of humour too.

Comment:

Easiest class ever. She explains everything about a kabillion times so it's not like you can't absorb it. You dont't really have to bother going to class because it's fairly easier material (plug and chug!).

She's great. Really clear and helpful. At times, maybe a bit too easy, but I'm not complaining. If you can't succeed at basic Physics with her as a prof, you shouldn't be in university. As others have said, pretty hot too. Haha...
