physics is a cool subject and she needs to teach it like such. she overcomplicates simple concepts, explains in very roundabout ways and has some of the world's most boring lectures ever. so my advice would be you gotta self study a LOT in this class. organic chemistry tutor easily surpasses her teaching by 10000x. rely on him for the lessons and use the textbook questions for practice and cry to sal khan's voice and you should be on your way. i think she's a nice person but she just can't teach for the love of god. she keeps saying how it's like her 13th year teaching -- then it should look like it, but it doesn't.

you will most likely only enjoy this class because your friends will suffer alongside you. you might enjoy physics but you will not enjoy her class 100%. just do not expect it to be enjoyable and expect her lessons to be extremely winding and confusing because she lacks the clarity and understanding herself.
