I had her for Electricity & Magnetism. She has an accent, but you can still understand her very well. Her class requires alooooot of notetaking, but you're allowed all electronics (+ she does post powerpoints & textbook pages, but usually follows her own notes which she doesn't post). Yes she does seem angry / gets angry, but i promise you if you talk to her a lot and ask questions she will be more understanding and might like you lol usually she's just indifferent towards everyone. She also replies rlly fast to mios, even at like midnight. Tests aren't that hard at all. They're very similar to what was done in class. Not rlly similar to webworks except for maybe a problem or two that's like copy paste. Not similar to the extra homework questions she posts either cuz they're too easy (but its good practice so do them! ) The final was harder than the tests bc she really, really asks every type of question she can fit in to test everything she taught. It was long too, so make sure you are comfortable with the problems and methods bc you might not even finish in time. Electrostatics & magnetics were straightforward, but for circuits make sure to revise all possible cases (especially for capacitors!! ) Generally an okay class. She's definitely better than most physics teachers, but make sure to practice on your own and don't be afraid of asking questions if you need to. People exaggerate when they call this a hard class

Take this teacher. If you can teach yourself you're going to be fine. In-class examples and homework are most like the test.

Really good. Teach yourself and you are good. Inclass questions are important to know for the tests. You get a formula sheet. Quizzes have multiple choice theory questions.

Take a lot of notes, pay attention to the class.

Pay attention to what she says in class and copy down the exercises she writes on the board. Make sure to copy all her notes from the board as they are very helpful. Do the problem sets and webworks as they are similar to the ones on the tests and quizzes. Tests and quizzes are pretty easy. Labs are so chill and fun

This teacher gets mad when you ask questions. She also does not teach well in my opinion.
