ME179D . Byl K A 1 Year, 7 Months Ago

Arguably the worst teacher I have had in my educational career. She assigns homeworks 2 days before they are do, her hints on HWs either are just completely wrong or mislead you, her grading is skewed and way too harsh for the ambiguity of the questions. Currently, I spend about 20 hours a week on the class, and am barely receiving a B. Steer clear

ME179D . Byl K A 3 Years Ago

She is very knowledgeable, but she cannot convey it to her students. Tends to go off on tangents throughout her lectures and falls behind, leaving us to watch an additional async lecture. Lectures and labs were not in sync. Non-traditional midterm was very unorganized and basically left students to test and grade the exam. A lot of self-teaching.

Good teacher, very knowledgeable and passionate about the material. Everything is posted online which is a godsend for people like me who cant learn from lectures. Notes and lectures can try to convey too much information at times.

PHYS106 . Byl K A 11 Years Ago

Superb professor. I've never had another professor like her. She gives her students the benefit of every doubt and goes to extra mile to ensure students are as well prepared for her exams as possible. Professor Byl comes with my highest recommendation.
