The TA's aren't very good at explaining the lab procedure and answering questions, and then take off points for things we already checked with them about.

PHYS6AL . Popescu P F 1 Year, 10 Months Ago

Physics lab was frustrating, because whatever you submitted, the TAs would always find a way to mark at least 15% of your grade off. Sig figs are always wrong, and make you lose points too. The only good thing is that this lab is only once every two weeks. Has nothing to do with Physics lecture, and seemed useless in general.

Very responsive and reasonable with class structure and policies. Always works through important examples which was helpful for 100a.

PHYS100A . Popescu P F 4 Months Ago

nicest prof i've ever had. lectures are easy to follow even tho she covers a lot of material in the class. her notes are more than enough to catch u up. overall very accommodating prof and even modified the grading scale for students who did poorly on the midterm. gave some nice extra credit points too!

PHYS100A . Popescu P F 4 Months Ago

Lot of derivations in lecture and a lot of math is assumed to be already well known, but the content itself is just hard and there's a lot of it! Very welcoming to feedback, but her tests were hard and did not look like the reviews. Homework is mostly relevant.
