Very good teacher but you got to make sure to pay attention the whole lecture. Tests and quizzes are not bad at all as long as you study. The quizzes are always based on the group problems as well as a small portion of the homework but I would say it is more important to understand the group problems.PHYS1161 2025-12-09 00:26:35 +0000 UTC
Very good physics professor. Course was not very difficult, and the examples done in lecture were pretty much the same as the ones on tests/exams.PHYS1165 2018-05-10 01:11:38 +0000 UTC
Professor Orimoto is an amazing professor! Loved all her lectures, she was funny, easy to understand and very helpful outside of class! She replies to mails frequently and the best part- NO mandatory attendance, hw submission or anything! Really quizzes every week, just knowing the formulas will help you get a good grade! And gives formulas behind!PHYS1145 2015-12-03 11:52:41 +0000 UTC
She's extremely friendly and caring, accessible outside of class, and I have no complaints about her teaching the course, also very approachablePHYS1161 2025-11-12 06:08:41 +0000 UTC
