Comment:

Her office hours are more useful than her lectures. Her lectures are the same as reading the books. Her grading are bad, and the multiple choices are weighted very high. Be prepared to read and memorize the key concepts while do every problem in the textbook and still not being able to get A in this class. Frustrating. Avoid at all cost.

Comment:

Lots of hw and all optional, but to succeed you should do all of it and then some more. Super hard class and her lectures are not great. Rely on self study more than lecture. She can come off as harsh and will sometimes say your questions are stupid. Don't be discouraged she really just wants everyone to do well with tough love. super hard exams

Comment:

Be prepared to self study, even though this professor answers hw questions in the discussions. Homeworks are not enough practice for the final exam. Since it was a summer online course, each week has hw, topic discussions, and a quiz so it will feel rushed; easy to miss out quiz or hw! Gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. Mainly textbooks.

Comment:

Avoid her at all costs. Took Physics 4C/Statics/Circuits with her. Doesn't accommodate students' needs, has a poor attitude, and doesn't have clear grading criteria. She is actually quite knowledgeable, despite all of her negative qualities, but the fact that she barely cares about teaching or her students makes her "experience" worthless.

Very Professional. Very Kind. There is no teacher like her! I took her twice for physics and did super well in all of her classes! I wish more teachers were like her!

Sue is one of the nicest professors here at Foothill. She spends time going over problems with everyone and she gives great feedback! I love her style of teaching. She practically gave an opportunity to get back points on exams. She is the best!

Comment:

Took her for online intro. physics. She was entirely unreasonable with grading. Discussions were impossible to get >75% even if you did more than others (that's if you ask her to clarify some confusing modules). Just gives you the book, says "read it and do these problems online. There will be a quiz each week." very aggressive and demeaning

Comment:

This is AP course material for an introductory physics class. She cuts and paste from the textbook. She has no clarity and has a huge ego. Avoid her class if you can. She is not there to help you learn and her grading is tough!

Comment:

At first she seemed okay, but it was clear shes unorganized , not very clear about assigned problems, forgetting to print out testsquizzes occasionally, and at the end of the quarter she was unreasonable with office hours (ex: told us she'd be there at 3pm, she came at 4 saying she said nothing about coming at 3pm). Big ego too. Avoid if possible!

I took Introductory Physics last summer. Toughest teacher ever. I self studied in the online class. The final test was the hardest. It is your effort to study for advanced Physics material. She does not care. Will never take another class with her.

Comment:

Although the material is easier than 4B, she is an awful lecturer and is very unclear. She doesn't give practice tests or let you keep tests to use to study for the final. She is very rude and enjoys pointing out mistakesembarrassing you in front of the whole class! I'd say avoid her, but if you must, good luck. :(

Comment:

She's rude and unhelpful, will make you feel completely stupid even though I'm a 4.0 student. Her online class is just reading the book, she doesn't have anything helpful aside from a cut and paste from the textbook... Easy class if you're a self learner although frustrating at times. Would NOT recommend.

Comment:

SHE IS THE WORST TEACHER EVER!!!!! She doesnt return a single paper during the whole term so u dont have any idea how does she grade. So you fail your tests one by one and no clue why!! Tests are extremely hard and no matter how much you study you get a same grade! Avoid her for sure even if u have to take this class like me!

If you take her I wish you good luck. Her tests are hard. If it's your first physics class get familiar with the PSME, they save lives. She's also terrible at office hours. Avoid her if possible.

Comment:

Her physics class was difficult, but only because of the material. She explains everything very well. Attending class is essential. Work out the homework problems and try reading ahead for the reading quiz's and you will do well. Awesome instructor wouldn't choose anyone else.
