very good teacher. Takes her time to explain the lab material and sometimes let you do group report.

Good Teacher! She actually wants you to learn the stuff! If you won't do any work, you won't do well, but if you study what she teaches, you will do fine! Tough but fair. If you don't want to learn Physics, take Biology!

A very good teacher. She takes time to explain the material no matter how long you take to understand. If you do your home work and study you should have no problem in her class.

She is very good at explaining the material, but her tests are excruiatingly difficult. If the test is over 3 chapters, you better know every word, inside & out for those chapters, plus every conceptual problem. I still think she is a quality instructor, but her tests are killers.

She is an amazing teacher. She teaches the subject really well. If you do the homework problems that are assigned from each chapter, then you should do well on the tests. The problems are pulled from the in class problems and homework problems. If you go to her office, she is very helpful in explaining the information.

She is a wonderful teacher and very helpful. Well, for most of students including myself, physics is not an easy subject, but she explains materials very well in class and helps you outside of class if you have queations. Like someone said, if you do homework and understand the concepts, you will do just fine. I highly recommend her.

Excellent professor, very professional. She is very clear on what sections she expects you to know from the book. Very helpful. If you like physics you will like this professor.

Great teacher...

Only 3/4 test and 3/4 quizzes throughout the semester, the quizzes are pieces of cake but the test are serious business. Overall, she's nice and will go out of her way to help you. But those test are killer if you don't study...

Overall, a good teacher. Needs to have a better curriculum for summer semesters, though. Lab and lecture never synched, and we had to cut out a lot of stuff. It's difficult to judge a professor based on a summer semester, though.

Excellent teacher and extremely helpful. Her tests are hard, but not impossible. If you take physics 1 with her, continue with her for physics 2!

I had her for Physics 1 Lab and was scared b/c everyone said that she was hard but she wasn't. She made everything so easy and was always willing to help out, with whatever I needed help on.

Was warned that Dr Eligon was more difficult than Summers but she's just a little more difficult to understand. She teaches right out of the book: read ahead & you'll worry a lot less. Do ALL the assigned homework. Study & mark up your formula sheets till you know what's what. Lab: read & answer EVERY question, and learn Excel b4 the Prac. A/A

Out of my many times taking Physics I & II, I must say that Professor Eligon has been the most accesible professor I have had in a long time. The course material was easily understood and easliy taught, I would say she knows what she is talking about. Not that I need to know Physics down the road, but throughout the semester she ensured me of it.

She teaches very fast, you have to be able to keep up with a fast paced class, she will go over any questions you have but doesn't really help much outside of class (for summer term anyways). As long as you work the problems out on the quizzes & exams she'll give you partial credit, but will also mark you off points if you don't show all your steps

Very nice teacher. She makes you work for your grade, but she will help you in any way that she can. She is very enthusiastic about physics. She has SO many crazy demonstrations that really are quite interesting. Very, very nice woman and a wonderful teacher. Be prepared to earn your grade though.

Dr. Eligon is my physics hero! Her tests are just like the hw and in-class problems. She does teach a little fast, but she is really good about taking time to explain the material if you go to her office. She has a lot of enthusiasm for physics and tries to pass it along to the students. Her lab reports are easy but very time-consuming.

I took her for General Physics 1 and I am currently taking her for General Physics 2. He teaching style is a little fast paced, but she is very clear with the subject matter. Do the assigned problems and you won't have an issue on the test. Its a tough course, study and you'll be fine. Seek her help if you've got and issue, she's willing to help.

I love Dr. Eligon!!! She is a good teacher, always willing to help, and is a really nice person. You HAVE to stay on top of the hw though - don't get behind in this class.

Dr. Eligon is a good teacher, but if anyone says she's easy they're LYING. She gives you the tools to succeed but do not underestimate her tests. OVERPREPARE.

She is a passionate teacher and very nice lady. BUTTTT the class is VERY HARD. The class is not designed for you to do well. 4 Tests and nothing else graded. Keep up with the homework and devote the majority of your time to this class and you will pass.

The fact that Dr. Eligon is getting such low ratings is baffling. Shes an extremely fair teacher and if you do the in-class problems and pay attention you should do fine. Her tests are hard BECAUSE THE MATERIAL IS HARD. If you're too unintelligent for the material, don't take the class. PERIOD. Shes extremely generous with partial points on exams.

I barely passed General Physics 1. Never been so happy to get a C! I do well in math, but this course was a struggle. Physics is Physics..cannot change much about it. She is so friendly/helpful; went to her office before class to do a few HW problems. DO the high amount of non-obligated HW to pass. This course should be your main focus!

Excellent prof. Be prepared to work b/c Physics is not easy - don't think for a minute that you can coast in this class. Pay attention in class, do the h/w problems, and ask questions - you should do fine. Study groups help a lot if someone in the group understands it. Exams are very much like homework - you just have to think them through!

Dr. Eligon is by far the best teacher I have ever had. I say teacher, not instructor, because when you finish her class, you KNOW physics. Her tests are very difficult, but physics is difficult!! She prepares you very well, but be prepared to work.

Great teacher. she explains all the topics to detail. the tests are long, but you at the end of the semester you really understand all the concepts and you are prepared for abstract scenarios and problems.. i am glad I took PHY I with her.

I'm not sure why Eligon gets such bad ratings, especially from students in her 1049 and 2049 classes. This isn't a class that you can get away with not studying for. Ask questions, go to office hours, do the homework the night its assigned and then do it again. That said, Eligon is a total sweetheart but her tests are ridiculously hard.

This class is hard! Dr. Eligon is a REAL professor who is actually going to teach you physics. If that isn't what you are looking for, take someone else's course. The exams can be a little bit too tricky, IMO. I had to work really, really hard for the A I just barely got.. but I understand physics! And isn't that the point?

Goes over all information prior to tests, but does grade very hard. Physics is hard overall to grasp and there is a load of information to teach. Overall, awesome teacher.

She is very hyper and very fast. She is always willing to help you outside of class. She is very strict with her grading, but is fair. I wouldn't recommend her if you're just taking Physics as a requirement.

Dr. Eligon is a great lecturer, very nice & very helpful. But, physics is a tough subject & she makes her tests ridiculously hard! Anything & everything you've ever learned in physics & math is fair game on a test, even stuff never covered in class or the homework. Unless you can devote hours to study & are really great at math, don't take her.

The other reviews here do not lie, her tests are VERY HARD! I compared some test questions with a friend who took it with another instructor his class sounded like a joke. She is a great teacher, and I did leave with a solid understanding of the material, but if your primary concern is your GPA, take it with someone else.

This class was tough but that is because the material is tough. To do well in this class, you have to do the homework and put in effort. She does a great job of explaining difficult concepts. She is very caring and helped me almost every day after class with homework/questions that I had.

This class was definitely difficult, she really explained things well, and I feel like I'm coming out of it with a good understanding of physics. If you take her, study the homework questions. Most of the test questions are very similar to the homework, and homework quizzes are exactly the same questions; except there is only one or two.

She goes over a lot in lecture, so if you miss, you'll be missing a lot of material. I love that I'm coming out if her classes really understand physics, she didn't just make you memorize formulas-she actually gives you them for tests-rather she makes sure you know how to apply them and why. Overall there is a lot of work, but it's worth it!

Ive never seen a more inaccurate assessment. I tried to avoid this professor due to what I read on here. That would have been a shame. She is incredible. She is an excellent teacher and gives you clear expectations. I study here and there and for exams, but my schedule doesn't allow as much time as I should be studying.

she's always ready to help and stuffs are easy to understand. she goes over a lot of material during the class, so don't skip classes. her tests are little bit long, but problems are okay, quizzes are easy. however, she gives no extra credits, and 80% of your grade is based on 4 tests and final so that's a nightmare for a careless people like me.

I waited until the end of the semester to write this. Dr. Eligon is by far the best physics instructor. I was hesitant to take her for Physics I because of reviews for her here; what a total mistake!! She gives great lectures, breaks things down into manageable topics, and does many problems in class. Tests are very fair and easier than homework.

Prof. Eligon was a lifesaver. I missed her final exam because I thought it was Wednesday but it was the Monday of that week and she let me take it late. I don't know of anyone else who would do something that nice for me.

Professor Eligon is an AWESOME professor! Her lectures are very detailed and understandable. She brakes things down so you can understand the concepts and how the algebra is used to prove the concepts. She makes note taking easy and understandable by writing everything out, not just by saying it. By far one of the best professor I have taken.

Don't listen to reviews, if you are a good student and ready to study you will succeed. It's not an easy class but the material is difficult so everyone struggled. Professor Eligon is really passionate and great at presenting the material.

The class is easy if you take the time to prepare for the tests. She makes it crystal clear of what is going to be on the test. Homework is optional but I recommend doing it because all test questions come from the homework. For the final exam, she gave us a pool of 24 questions to study. The final exam consisted of 12 questions from the pool.

Her classes are well taught. You'll finish her course with a solid grasp of the material. She also cares about her students, and she takes time to meet with each student one-on-one to review our exams. Do the homework assignments because it's not an easy class. Don't worry about the low average test scores if you did the homework assignments well.

Dr. Eligon is a great physics teacher. The homework is optional, but useful for the test. She gives study guides which are VERY similar to the test. I had her class on ZOOM and she made everything easy to understand. I will definitely be taking her for physics 2. Equation sheets are an easy A and the quizzes are similar to the in-class problems.

Test reviews vaguely resemble test content. Be sure you really understand concepts being thrown at you in the review or you will not do well on the tests. Grading is fair but is a bit test-heavy. For people who have a lot of test anxiety, beware.

She has by far been one of the best professors I've had! Homework isn't graded so your grade is mostly the tests, but she gives reviews before the test that are almost exactly like the actual test. You also don't need to memorize any equations because you're given them on the test. Her lectures are also very engaging!

I had her for physics and was very nervous about this subject. I ended up loving it. Professor Eligon's passion for teaching is apparent in her lectures, and she explains the "why" behind the equations and draws connections between the topics we have learned. Assignments were clear and the tests were about things we learned in the class.

Professor Eligon was AMAZING! She works out problems from start to finish. For the reviews, she tells you what problems to focus on from the textbook for the test; SAME QUESTIONS WITH DIFFERENT NUMBERS! She dedicates the time and understands that physics calculations are a pain but she does care and makes sure you understand the topics. THANK YOU!!

She's a good teacher but the class is hard. You have to study a lot for the tests and tbh that's lame asf. But if you take the time to actually study it's pretty light. I might have autism so it took me a bit to understand everything but in the end it makes sense. I find it helpful to find your own way of doing things though. She cool subject blows

Professor Eligon was an amazing professor. Although the grade was mainly based on four exams, she gave a PDF of recommended problems before each exam, and the problems were very similar to those on the exam.

She is one of the most caring professors at SPC and is very patient with her students. All her materials are easily accessible online to help you succeed. No reason anyone should get anything less than an A unless you are absolutely not trying. Lectures were very to the point and concise.

AME is the 🐐
