Her hearts in the right place, but she's just not much of a teacher. Should stick to research. She definitely knows what she's talking about, but is awful at communicating it.PHYS1111 2011-08-09 15:47:44 +0000 UTC
Extremely enthusiastic professor who knows how to express complicated ideas effectively! She honestly wants students to understand the material and do well, and will even grade open ended quizzes each week and assign extra credit. Compared to other science courses I've taken at Northeastern, this class was one of the easiest and most entertaining.PHYS1111 2011-04-11 22:46:12 +0000 UTC
Worst teacher i've ever had, when you actually CAN understand her (she's foreign) she makes absolutely no sense and you can barely even hear her. Theres about 3 tests and none of its from the book so you have to know what she says in class to pass, which is obviously impossible. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASSPHYS1111 2011-03-16 09:44:54 +0000 UTC
