she teaches exactly from the book. pointless
This class is not hard only if you read the book. I wouldn't waist my time going to this class except she gives quizes all the time!
Teaches straight from the book, but does try to explain when you ask her. Easier to talk with one-on-one. Better than taking Brennon
Very easy class, cannot understand what she is saying. Learn the material on your own but you have to go to class to take the quizes EVERYDAY! Read the chapters and understand it, and you will do fine!
If you go to class(I can understand her fine) and take notes, you will do great. I just review the example questions in the book and the notes before the test. No quizzes this semester (one extra credit one)and she lets you have a formula sheet!!!!
hard to understand her. no point in goin to class really. i didnt even read the book i just wrote down all the formulas and went to class only on test days. She does drop the lowest grade so i managed to get a B. its easy to cheat in this class.
No clue what this woman said the entire semester. As long as you have some general knowledge about physics from high school you'll be fine.
Not that hard of a class. Go, take notes, read the book. Her accent could drive you up a wall though. All I heard was bucka bucka. You would think such a smart woman could speak english lol
I think she is a great teacher, yea she is hard to understand sometimes, but she realizes that too and is willing to explain until everyone gets it. Everything is straight from the book and clear cut, she doesnt try to mess you up.
She is very easy...and you can understand her just fine if you pay attention. I can't stand people that are so mean to her and do nothing but complain. She tries really hard...and I understand just fine...
This lady has the thickest arabic accent I've ever heard. It is very hard to undersatnd her. The only thing that helped me were the S.I. sessions and her power point presentations. She's not too bad but high school physics or phyical science really helps
Hard to understand, but that's because she's on a microphone. Very easy to get a good grade. She'll help you as much as possible. If you take this class, don't be mean to her. She's trying her hardest, and she's very smart, so don't think otherwise.
Hard to understand if you don't pay attention to every word, but teaches right from book and always waits for everyone to finish copying notes. Very sweet lady. Easy to cheat. Find a friend to do CPS for you when you're not there. CH CH!
Good teacher, but very thick accent and hard to understand. She has an easy grading scale where 85-100 is an A and she drops your lowest grade. If you actually read the book and know the formulas (or cheat, which is easy to do) you'll be fine.
Yes... she is hard to understand however the class is easy and she tests only on what she goes over in class. SHE NEVER LETS CLASS OUT EARLY AND YOU CANNOT ARRIVE LATE OR SHE GETS UPSET!
Her accent is very thick, and even sitting in the front row it is kinda difficult to understand her. Her tests are kinda difficult if you're not good at physics. She's really nice though and tries really hard to get the whole class to learn.
make sure you go to the SI sessions, they give all the test answers. You will do well if you go to them. If you don't, you better buy the book and teach yourself the material.
SO boring, but it is not that hard. grading scale is a life saver. go to SI questions. Her class is really dull, and not very interesting. The slides are straight from the book.
She does not have an Arabic accent, although she is Indian...they are two different cultures. Her class is a little boring, but her tests are straight from the notes, and she really is sweet. She is very helpful for Webassign if you go to her office.
This teacher speaks broken English and you can't understand her. You MUST read the book if you want to do well. You MUST attend class if you want to do well.
People are so rude to her. I can understand her just fine, and I think she's very helpful and she knows what she is taking about. Tests have the EASIEST questions possible. She really make's it easy. Just pay attention and make a good formula sheet...
It's very hard to understand her English, although, as long as you go to class everyday and take notes, you'll do good. The class in general is very basic and very easy.
She knows what's she is talking about, but sometimes doesn't explain it all too well. More often then not not starting at the beginning of something which left me confused. I hate webassign.
Class is easy and she is sooo nice. Will help you anytime shes in her office and really wants you to understand. Test are so easy. And she's not that hard to understand! I liked her.
Class is a BREEZE! Just make a very good formula sheet and get prepared for tons of webassign homework. I never went to class (except for test days, of course) and managed to get a B. However, her accent is kinda thick, but she offers help in her office.
Go everyday, know the CPS questions, attend SI sessions, and you'll do fine. Sit in front and go to her office every once in a while, and she'll help you out. Very easy course if you attend class.
For her physical science class, I hated it. But, if you just write down the notes on the slides in class, you'll do fine. She has to learn how to speak English better and CPS is horrible. We have CPS everyday, so if you miss one day, your out 6 points!
Personally i thought that for her phys. science class, she wasn't that good. she spent half the time telling the class not to be late, and read her lecture straight from the book. Take Prof. Boleman, the author of the TEXTBOOK instead. Thick accent too.
Great teacher! Her accent is thick so you have to listen closely. Keep good formula sheets for the tests, do the webassigns and you should do fine. She curves the class so a 60% is passing.
A pretty easy physics class! Although the material is boring, Dubey cuts to the chase and gives you some good examples. Her tests are always easier than her lectures. Overall, pretty decent.
This is the easiest physics class you'll ever take. I never attended class. Do all the webassign. Go to her office and she'll give you tests and webassigns. TRUST me, she is the best! Words can't express how nice she is. She will not fail you. An 85%=A.
She is very easy to understand - tests are hard - makes class interesting.
Great professor. Very helpful to students if an interest in the class is shown. Very fair.
Dr. Dubey is boring in class, but fair! She is ALWAYS at office hours to HELP you! Do your homework, and mark in your notes when she says something will be on test, because it will! Gives great test review in office hours.
no one understands the words coming out of her mouth! and her writing on the board is almost as bad. add that with a text from hell and you need a Tutor every day! dropped her!
wow, I have no idea what she says most of the time. I tried to get help and I still dont understand her..I dont think she is a good teacher. She needs to learn English better. She is still a nice person though.
Class is hard. She did teach it well. Do the WebAssign. She's good about office hours and helped out a lot there. Does reviews and such.
Dr. Dubey is an awesome teacher. She helps you so much if needed and makes the class fair. I understood her perfectly, if you needed a tutor for this class as easy as she makes it your a moron. If yu think she hard, yu wil flunk with the other teachers.
Incredibly nice and easy. All you need is a good formula sheet and good discipline of looking over the old tests and webassign for a couple minutes and you are guaranteed to make an A.
can't understand her. Went to talk to her in her office when I was taking the class. about 4 semesters ago. Never called me back untill now. I had a very bad situation that she really needed to call me back. I called her a billion times but no respond.
Terrible!!! I had to leave this class. The poor woman tries, and tries...but honestly it's awful. You don't understand her, and the TA that was assigned to my class wasn't much better. If you take the class, i wish you the best of luck.
I cannot comment on what type of teacher she is considering I had the drop the class immediately... I cannot understand a word she says. She goes on 30 second long streaks of talkin where it sounds like a forein language.
She's a great professor! Always willing to help out her students during office hours. She's pretty easy. Just go to class, take notes, and go to her office hours for help, you will get an A in the class.you dont even have to read the damn book
HORRIBLE PROFESSOR! She doesn't give very many examples, all she does is give u formulas - all class long! Her tests are hard! And she doesn't reply to e-mails or phone calls! I don't understand how some people think that she's helpful!
I cannot understand a word she says. Her accent is really thick, and she talks really fast so her words get jumbled together. The subject is easy enough, i just write down everything that's on the powerpoint. read the book and you'll do ok, but if you want an a, avoid her!
her tests are hard and she doesn't make sense
RUUUUUUUNNNNN!!!! I absolutely do not recommend this class unless you already know Physical Scienec very well. Since she does not speak English, learning from her is quite impossible! DONT DO IT!
She talks too fast and is hard to understand. She assumes we already understand what she's talking about. She'd prob be a good teacher for someone actually interested in science, but she needs to explain things in terms someone who doesnt know science will understand. I'm desperately trying for a D!
Very Easy , but you need to go to all the classes. Very helpful, but hard to understand because of accent. It gets easier though. very willing to help in any way, cares a lot. Tests based off notes which are based of book. Do HW and buy the study guide in the bookstore.
Frustrating woman w/ accent who complicates a GEP class too much. Material = fairly easy, tests = tricky. She doesn't stress the math problems in the tests, in the notes, so look out. Make sure to READ the text (an easy read) and highlight the book according to the notes.
Don't even try it! She can't speak proper english, she words the questions on her tests all stupid, and makes things way harder than they really are. You can't understand her, but she yells at you for asking other people in the class questions. She's horrible.
AHH i hate this class. It doesn't matter if you go or not, you'll make the same grades. She's hard to understand and her tests are even harder! Don't take PSC if possible. I've heard all the teachers are bad.
She barely speaks english, so i wasn't motivated to go to class. She made you buy a stupid 20 dollar attendance pad for your grade..Pointless!
hard to understand, doesnt stop for questions
Nice lady, horrible thick accent. Words run together and impossible to understand. Take her powerpoint notes (some stuff is verbatim on test) and read/highlight the book. Because she can barely speak properly, test questions are incomprehensible (C average here and I know material. Wording is strang
She is a nice lady, but spends forever on each slide bc she goes over it many times. Tests are pretty easy. Had to buy $20 key pads, which is how she took attendance.(15% of grade) Make friends with person next to you & switch off going to class. Just have them push a button on your keypad for you.
Class is boring. I have heard that the best class is `Physics in Films' by Dr Efthimiou. A friend of mine who took the class in summer said that he is great. He does demos, shows movie clips, explais entertaining stuff. But he is very strict with the rules. He was not teaching this fall though.
This class was horrible. You cannot understand her speaking, and it doesnt matter if you study or not, you will get the same grades. SAVE YOURSELF AND DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH DUBEY! This class should be easy but she makes it 10X harder and makes class nap time Haha..I do not reccomend her EVER!!
A background in high school physics helps in this class to a degree pending depth of your knowledge. The class is probably rather hard without it. 7 total tests (including final), pace is kind of fast, TA SI sessions available if you need them. Prof Dubey is a nice lady, cares about students
HORRIBLE CLASS, DON'T TAKE IT. I usually always got A's and Bs, and i'm a sophmore, that was my first C and i tried hard for it. What you learn in class is not on the test. The tests are really hard and you get the same grade if you study or not. Shes very nice, but a bad teacher.
this class is very easy. U dont have to study much. Just go to class everyday, take notes, and do ur hw. study the tests from the notes and you will be fine. she's very helpful, attend her office hrs and she will give u answers to the hw problems. great teacher!
Out off all the PSC teachers she is the easiest. Dont take notes just highlight the stuff in your book, buy the study guide, go to class cause the option power quizzes help your grade. I got A's on all my tests, studied for 15min, didnt show up for a test and i got a B. She is very clear and helpful
I dont understand why people say her accent is horrible, its not. Maybe if they studied they would know what she was saying. Anyway, I love this teacher, she is the best teacher I've had. She made me love physics, so much that I'm thinking of changing my major to physics. Take her class! : )
This teacher was very difficult to understand I initially took her because she had a reputation of being a helpful and understanding individual.This was not the case, her exams were killer and her method of grading ,atrocious she did not even disperse grades until after the withdrawal deadline
Because this is a gen ed, a lot of people are simply bombing the prof due to their own personal difficulties with Physics, which is a hard concept to grasp. (I, personal hate it.) As a prof however, Dubey was sweet, kind, and understanding. Yes, the class was hard but let us take the time to consider the subject matter.
Great Teacher, people are just lazy.
She is such a sweet lady and does her best to help everyone understand. The way she explains things is very easy to understand, and she uses lot of pictures. She has an accent which makes it a little hard to understand her sometimes, just sit closer to the front and you'll be fine. One of my favorite classes so far!
Hard to understand her. She isn't as understanding as people say. She won't excuse you from a test (or even let you make it up) if there is a death in the family.
it is very difficult to stay interested and to pay attention because of her accent and her attitude. Will stop class to complain about interruptions for 15min instead of proceeding with material. I felt like I was going to fail but somehow pulled off an A, now I have to take her again for PHY2053... :I
SO BORING...you can't understand her EVER. Tests are hard, if you are good in science and you pick up science concepts easily then you will do fine...but i hated it...and i rarely went to class...and i pulled off a C...o yea and i heard you can take a film class for this GenEd credit...wish i would've know
her homeworks are VERY long compared to the other professors and she has only two exams which are each on like 6 to seven chapters. I did not think that was very fair or effective. In addition she doesnot allow us formula sheet (you can only have 3 equations per chapter). I got an A but I wish I had take with another teacher to have an easier time.
Hard to understand, test do not reflect examples covered inc lass or homework. Only 3 forumlas per chapters allowed. Refuses to curve until after the final.
She is a sweet lady and thoug, she might not give us as many exams as other teachers... i'm glad that I took her!
First of all, physics isn't easy so you have to work hard in this class if you want a desirable grade. I highly recommend Dubey for 2053. Go to her office hours ALL THE TIME and she WILL help you.
shes very hard. dont get fooled by the 2 tests policy. there are 6 chapters on eahc test. and 1 chapter has TONS of material on it. its impossible to do well on her tests. the homework is long, do it atleast 3 days before the dadline and trust me, u will still be up til the last minute. take someone else
She is a very sweet lady who genuinely cares about her students. I had a very very hard time with this class....I studied so much and went to SARC...I struggled to do ok...but it was not her fault. This is a hard class if you have never taken any physics before. But don't blame her. She gives extra credit and will curve.
Worst Teacher ever. Tests are very hard and homework is way to long. Go to a different school to take physics because she is actually the easiest teacher we have. DUBEY NEEDS TO MAKE TESTS EASIER OTHERWISE GET FIRED!!!
Cannot understand and not helpful in office hours.. dont take her
Avoid this teacher at all costs or you'll be teaching yourself physics. Unreasonable testing methods is the biggest issue...
I hoped this would be a better course. Unfortunately her tests are absolutely insane and you get about zero help on anything. She sends you to her T/A who you can't find regularly and refuses to discuss anything regarding a grade. I may have to take physics over, but at least she gets an F from me here...
For someone who used to like physics I was really dissapointed stepping into a class with a teacher who cannot convey clearly physics to students, Physics is not a subject that everyone can teach, only people with high understanding and ability to convey ideas can and should be teachers specfically for this, and that is defintly, defintly not her.
She teaches exactly from text book..MEMORIZE the text book and you'll be fine. Very helpful with hw if you go to her office hours. Sweet professor, but difficult exams. Grade determined by 2 difficult in class exams (which cover a lot of material) and final. Will def. need to spend lots of time reading the chs. & practice calculations.
Unless you're a physics whiz, this class will be extremely hard and you'll feel like you're failing, but will end up with a decent grade due to curves. The class is more like a stress test than anything. Dubey seems helpful, but her curriculum is brutal. But if you do good with the labs and homework and get help outside of class, you'll be fine.
First time teaching class. Too many labs to complete, never finished them all. She thought we knew prior material; we didn't. Tests were horrific; had us draw circuits from memory on the final. Even though we did the work, grades were not good. Not forgiving, and very hard to listen to her voice in room 333A; too much of a high-pitched echoing.
Class is challenging. Alot of homework. Accent can be hard to understand. Spends to much time telling you how to structure your time than teaching. She makes you feel like you will do well in the end but doesn't curve as much as orignally agreed, grades are usually lower. Class averages on test are about a 50...
Don't take Dubey for this class. If she's the only prof. left then take the class next semester. She's helpful outside of class but she is a horrible teacher!! Repeatedly went into long lectures & rants about failing/studying. You can pass but be prepared to teach yourself. You've been warned!!!
Dubey is difficult to understand and does not relate the material well. She says that her tests are easy but the class average was always an F and she that was normal. She wants students to do well and trys to be helpful during her office hours. There is always a curve!!!
worst professor I have EVER encountered. IS NOT WILLING TO ASSIST STUDENTS AT ALL. she will not go over homework in class, she does not have reviews, and she doesn't tell you what you missed on tests. Her expectations are ridiculous for a gen ed class. Does not relate material well at all and could care less how students are doing
Avoid this professor at all costs. It's hard to understand her at times, and when I ask for help, she doesn't understand what I'm saying and that has happened on more than one occasion. A teacher is either not a good teacher if grades have to be curved because the average is an F. The TA grades exams, and is brtual for even one mistake.
VERY HARD TESTS!!! multiple choice part is not that bad, but the long questions are ridiculous! The way the TA graded was overly harsh. She hates giving extra credit, but does curve if everyone does badly. Grades were 2/3 tests and final. 1/6 Lab, 1/6 homework. final is cumulative
HORRIBLE PROFESSOR! DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! this was the worst teacher i have ever had in my life. you have to go to class because she uses that stupid CPS remote thing. you cannot understand a word she says and it is so boring. the notes she gives have nothing to do with what on the tests. the test are absolutly impossible and insane.
THIS IS THE WORST TEACHER, DO NOT TAKE HER!!!! Her class is extremely hard. I did all of the problems at the end of the chapters, went to her office hours, came to class EVERYDAY, took notes, and did the online homework, studied and I still got d's and f's on test. She is impossible to understand and she DOES NOT CURVE TESTS!
Worst teacher ever. She doesnt care about her students. I went in to all of her office hours, did all of the homework problems, and still failed all the test. When i went in for help she would tell me that it was not her problem that i didnt understand the material. Her notes are word for word out of book, but nothing she teaches is on the test.

Im sorry but if a professor gives a 15 point curve on every test, THEYRE EASY. Look at it like this, you have a lab and HW grade to offset each test, even if you get the "average" 50, she curves it up 15, and now its a 65. Average the 65 with the 100 from lab/hw, thats an 82.5, a high B. (A is 85) This isnt that easy of a subject, WORK and SUCCEED
She only curved one of our tests and that's b/c everyone did awful. Look, I'm a 4.0 student and I made a 58 on the 2nd test! She acused us of not studying, but if someone like me made that bad of a grade, something is wrong w/ her teaching. Make sure you always go to class b/c she always does CPS and don't expect to leave early.

This is the worst professor I have had since I have ben in college. Her tests are hard to begin with, then she doesnt review, and she throws problems on there that have nothing to do with what we learned. I went to all classes, and even went to her office hours and she told me that if I cant get a good grade then that is my problem. Dont take her!
she has an accent so she's sometimes hard to understand. i had a really hard time in this class but then again i hate physics. i heard she's easier than the other teachers though. all problems done in class were on the test so it's best to attend class. the book helps but not all topics in the book are on the exams.
The exams are very hard because a lot of the questions are conceptual. Most of the homework problems are math problems so you must really understand what you are solving in order to pass the exams. The lectures are incredibly boring but please attend. Go to her office and ask questions; she's more helpful that way. The labs are a waste but required
She isnt a bad professor, just take lots of notes, go to her in office hours, Physics is very hard to understand. you have to study your butt off, but it was okay... If you get GTA James Whelan for a lab.. run... it will be hell all semester long!!
It's a difficult class but she's there to help you out if you need it. No one said physics was supposed to be easy. If you want an A you're going to have to work for it, simple as that. She's extremely caring and considerate of her students.
If you are even remotely decent at algebra this class will be a breeze. I studied about 5-6 hours for each test and got As all year. Online homework was pretty easy. Lab was the most boring and pointless class ive ever taken but its an easy 100. I'm not sure if she ever curved.
This class was so easy compared to what people say about it. Dubey is amazing and the tests come straight from the notes and homework. I can't say enough about how nice she is.
Dr. Dubey is a really good teacher and really concerned about her students performance. Her tests are predictable and she even hints at particular questions during class. Just pay attention and study on a normal basis--you'll get an A. No sweat.
You HAVE to attend every single class, form a study group to do the online problems and make sure you know how to work them out because 45% of the test comes from the homework, and stop by her office hours to talk to her if anything isnt clear. Very nice woman, her lectures are very boring and the labs are awful and pointless, but if you study hard
AMAZING professor!Yes her class is hard, but she tests on what she teaches.She truly cares about her students and her office is always open for help! My favorite professor at UCF!If you do the mastering physics & the examples in her powerpoints and understand them, you're set for the test.10 MC Q and 2 long answers per test. An A is very possible!
I had her for my lab professor and I thought she was FANTASTIC. She explained concepts and problems very well and she also seemed to care about her students alot. I heard her tests were hard. I believe she wrote the common final for my section and let me tell you it WAS CRAZY HARD! But if you have her for a prof. she more then prepares you.
I hate going to her class. Her logic makes no sense at all. She does examples way to fast in class. I have learned PHY solely from going to tutoring this semester. The only reason I even bother showing up to her class is because she gives pop quizzes.
She is one of the nicest professors I have had. Aside from that this class was terrible. The only way to pass this class is to read the text like 40 times. Do all homework 100 times too. I am a third year M&M major and this class ruined my 4.0. She changes her mind about her testing style too so you dont know what to expect. Take PHY at C/C!!
WORST TEACHER EVER!! DO NOT TAKE HER OR YOU WILL FAIL! She is nice, but is NO help whatsoever. This class ruined my GPA and I know others who did the same and even worse than I.
should be demoted! I'm still waiting for this "curve" she talked about all semester which was a lie! Don't let her smile fool you she is the devil when it comes to tests! The first one, not so bad, every test after that put me in tears! My 4.0 dropped dramatically thanks to the D she was supposedly going to curve to a B.
She is a terrible profressor. I feel like I wasted money taking physics with her. However, it is not all her fault alone, I also blame UCF for allowing someone to teach that is incapable of doing so. But I guess if she fails most of the class and many people have to take the class over,that's just more money for UCF.
Why is this woman still allowed to lecture at UCF? Why are most students in her class failing? Why does she pretend to want to help students? Physics is not hard when someone knows how to teach it! She makes this so much harder than it needs to be because she is incapable of teaching!I'm a senior and I may not graduate this summer because of her!
Had her for Physics I and II. Exams consist of many problems from class.. every single question we had on an exam Summer B 2009 came straight out of the book. She likes tricking the class. Seems like a sweet lady..ehh. She does not grade any of the tests! all are graded by the TA. Gives partial credit, argue for your grade after EVERY EXAM!
Tests are straight from the book and Mastering Physics. She is very helpful and sometimes funny. For me, she is an excellent professor of Physics! She will give PHY2054 online next semester including lab.
Not an easy class, but she is very fair in her grading. Other Physics professors are not as reasonable or care as much about students as she does.
Got an A. Wasn't very easy, but Dubey made the course understandable and intriguing. Most dedicated and helpful professor I've encountered at UCF. Do your part and she'll do hers. Argue your grade!! If you don't look forward to working problems in the back of each chapter, don't expect to get an A...
Dubey is a sweet lady. If you go and review your exams with her there is a possibility she may give you extra points. However her tests are extremely difficult. She tests concepts and problems. Attend class because she usually gives a quiz every week, which is either a concept or a problem. If I had a choice to take her again I wouldn't.
Dubey is really nice! I slept through the final exam and she let me retake it! Most exams consist of derived equations and textbook/homework problems so you really have to know your stuff! I didn't learn much in the mixed technology classroom, labs were long and not very informative.
she is awesome!
In-class quizzes and i-clicker quizzes given at random and are each 8.5% of your grade. Only 8% for homework, 15% for lab, exams 35% and final 25%. Her quizzes are IMPOSSIBLE. Test questions from homework and you're allowed a flashcard. Don't let this fool you, her class is VERY hard! I might be retaking it next semester.
Took back our tests to make "copies" but secretly did it to mark off more points because she felt like she was too dominant when she graded it the first time. Some students dropped up to 15% the second grading. Strange thing to do when the class average was already failing.
Asked for help on a question I got wrong on the test. Wasn't arguing grade. She said the grader was too lenient and took more points off. Don't review your test with her.
Asked for help with material since we didn't get much help in class. She claimed that in a Studio mode class, she was not responsible for teaching and that we needed to understand the material by ourselves. Yeah, that makes sense.
Studio mode is not recommended for this class. Labs are too confusing and personal help is very limited. The labs and lecture don't blend very well and the class feels unorganized. You don't complete this class feeling like you learned a great deal. Physics I worked great in studio mode with Dr. Kara. This class needs a complete refurbishing.

VERY, VERY, VERY hard class! Exams are 6 questions and nearly impossible and the final exam is a comprehensive exam written by the entire physics department. I would avoid this woman at all costs unless you are natural at physics.
Most helpful physics teacher at UCF, no doubt. She is so nice and is very dedicated to her students. Exams and quizzes aren't too difficult if you just practice homework problems and problems done in class. Took this class studio mode and didn't mind it at all
Physics 2 is suppose to be easy, but she made it hard. Miss one question on her exam you are down to a C, the lab is pretty easy though (useless I would say) I got a B, but I studied alot, redid all the HW in the book and webaasign.Shes very helpful but dont expect her to spoon feed you the material, you pretty much teach yourself. Not recommended!
Professor Dubey has been the most genuine, patient, and compassionate prof. I have ever taken at UCF. If you are having any kind of trouble/issue with the material, she will gladly help you in her office hours or by appt if necessary. If you take her class, make sure you practice the homework problems for review for the exams!
Not an easy class , but if you study hard you will do fine. The tests are only a few questions and missing one will bring your grade tremendously. To put it in perspective, I missed one on my first exam and got a D on it. This is NOT an easy A class. All in all, she is very genuine person and always there to help.
run. run far far away.
Prof. Dubey is a genuine, smart woman who really knows her material. In regards to her being able to transfer that material is a little tricky, because she doesn't make the lectures that interesting. She gives out plenty of practice problems that show up on the exam. Just study the powerpoints and go to her for help, she really encourages you to.
AWFUL teacher. Her lectures were so boring and when she spoke it was hard to understand her. Also, her lectures are confusing so it makes it harder to study when you don't know the key points to focus on.
If i could give a 0 for clarity I would. Hard to understand, boring to listen to. I try so hard to pay attention to her but I just can't. Says "Do you understand this thing or not?" about 20 times every class. The material she covers is sort of easy if you took a basic science class in high school, but the tests are way too hard and specific.
This professor is by far the worst professor I have had in my 2 years at UCF. She is very confusing and rarely ever understands the questions that students ask during lecture. She does very little for test preparation & just reads the slides word for word. DONT TAKE THIS COURSE. she also says "do you understand this thing" all the time.
BUY THE TEXTBOOK! She's very unclear in her lectures; she just reads off her power points word for word (posts them online after class) She does clicker questions every class which make up 10% of your grade. I had a 96 and because of the clicker questions I ended with a B. SO BORING. Takes test questions from txt book multiple choice.
In class right now wanting to claw my eyes out. Does clicker questions that you MUST get correct in order to receive participation points (12% of grade). Uses web assign for homework. Can not stand her accent, if you can good for you. I have never skipped class until this professor because she is the worst. Doesn't respect others' time.
A lot of people don't like her because no one likes physics or professors with thick accents, however, this woman is extremely helpful and really cares about people's grades so much so that she will take off chapters from tests, push them back, and extra credit at the end. All of her test questions are previous clicker, lecture, hw. GO SEE YOU TEST
Not someone physics should be learned from. It got to the point that people didn't even care about losing Iclicker points for not showing up which resulted in a lower letter grade. Very boring lectures, super thick accent and a high pitch voice with a microfone use- a perfect killer combo. Not recommended.
Quizzes were 20% and made up the majority of the grade excluding the final. If you get the book and do the homework (and extra problems from the chapter) you will do great. Every quiz and test question is exactly the same or at least similar to the problems in the book. Just get the book. No curves even though one class test avg was a 50.
She's a good teacher and loves to help her students. She works out everything so you can understand. iClicker questions every class. Her test seem easy at first then get a little harder.
Professor is very friendly and help during office hours. When reviewing for the tests, professor recommends looking over hw problems, and clicker questions, however tests aren't reflective of the material covered in lecture/clicker questions. My recommendation, buy the book, read through every chapter, and do as many practice problems possible
nice and caring. always wants to help. GO TO OFFICE HOURS from beginning. go over tests with her!! study homework and clickers to understand concepts. grading scale is lowered (88 is A) and 40% of grade is hw, lab, clicker. she will help you as much as she can as long as you show effort, she cares. i had to work hard for this, study with classmates
Overall the class wasn't terrible. It's pretty cut and dry. She reads almost verbatim from her powerpoints and is kind of hard to understand. Webassign is used for homework and she gives a quiz every Thursday based on the material learned the previous week. Tests are pretty close to homework, but from 6 questions she always added one impossible one
Dr Dubey is awesome. If you struggle in class, go and see her and she will help you. She really wants her students to succeed as long as you put in the effort she will work with you. The exams are hard but honestly if you do and know the homework and understand class examples they aren't so bad. I recommend her because you will understand physics.
Here's the deal. I failed all my exams and my final and I passed Physics with Dubey with C. Do your homework, do well on the clicker questions, and get A's on your labs, thats is the recipe for passing. For my class we got extra credit. She's a smart woman. Just extremely hard to understand and her test are nothing like the homework.
Took her for Physics 3, clearly the class is interesting but she made it uninteresting for me. This sem, we had no choice but to take it with her. If there's someone else, don't choose her. Anyway, just study her end of slide problems, hw questions from webassign and know the equations in her formula sheet. Lectures are boring but just deal w/ it.
There's a simple formula to passing the tests -- She pulls all her questions from the book. Memorize how to do the problems on her powerpoints, same with the homework, and you'll be set. She gives a quiz roughly once every week and a half but she'll usually warn you the week before. Ask her if it can be a group quiz, half the time she'll agree.
Professor Dubay, is one of the nicest people I've ever met. She's very caring and humble. Honestly, I don't think she's a good teacher, but absolutely a very good person. If you care to learn the material don't take her, If you only care about the grades then make sure to study slides problems and WebAssign for tests.
Participation is mandatory, done through iclickers. ONLY does slides in the lectures and they're straight from the book. Did maybe three expirements all semester and did no practice problems all the way through. Tests were pretty hard but she does drop one out of the three in class tests.
Absolutely wonderful, and kind lady. Just make sure you pay attention and do your work. If you go to her office hours, she will go out of her way to help you.
She is a nice lady, but as a professor, not the best. Class never averaged more than an F on any test, even the final. Test are 10 questions and are drawn from her powerpoints and HW so study those. You have to correctly answer clicker questions for attendance, if not, you don't get attendance even if you were there. No curves, but a 60 is a C.
I thought she did a good job of explaining the concepts on the powerpoints in class.. A lot of the examples from the power points were on the exams. Lab boosts your grade. Stoped going to class after the middle of the semester and still got an A. No need to do the book questions.
Really not a bad professor, just a hard subject. Makes you buy textbook online on same website homework is done on so don't bother buying a physical copy (didn't even use online one). Majority of tests are based off homework so go over those and really understand them and you'll be fine. Rack up points w/ hw, clicker ques (participation) and lab.
hard to pay attention in lecture but everything is posted online. pearson for hw. iclicker questions will boost your grade so much but you have to click in correctly for credit. about half the test material came from hw/clicker questions. you have to put in a lot of work to pass but she's willing to do whatever she can to help you do your best
Professor Dubey is incredible! She does everything in her power to help students and make sure they understand and enjoy physics. Her passion is very evident while she teaches and she gives a lot of easy assignments to boost your grade. (I-clicker, homework, etc.)
I put mandatory for the lectures because of the iclicker questions that may or may not pop up on the days you have class. The lectures could put you to sleep, but if you read the slides on your own you'll have a better understanding. The tests are difficult, but doable. The lab helps your grade immensely. You have to put the hours in to pass.
I just finished taking her for 2053 in Summer. Very fair professor, cares a lot and encourages you to come to office hours. Does her best to teach the material. Has a little bit of an accent but understandable. Chegg is your friend for clickers / lab assignments. Exams have 5-6 homework problems, 20Q. Easy A if you are willing to put in the work.
If you have taken physics in high school then this will be easy as it is basically the same thing. The class is heavy in group work. Almost everything is done in groups. If there is practice work and someone doesn't know how to do it the people next to them have to help. Not a good class for those who like to work alone.
Ok, so physics is hard. She is not the best lecturer but she makes up for it with a fair grading scale: 74 is a B. So cant complain I guess. Shes also readily available outside of class. Oh and Chegg will be your best friend for this class.
I had to take physics 3 times and she was the first teacher to actually give full and useful explanations on how to do the problems. She has homework as well as clickers and tests to help cushion your grades. The way lab worked when I took from her was different (I don't know if its her decision or not) but lab was fun! She takes time and helps!
I was unaware that our class combined lab and lecture in one sitting, so we basically sat in class for about 3 hours and sometimes that was all lecture. If you can manage to pay attention in class for those long 3 hours, you can easily get an A in this class (especially since an 88 is an A). This class is a good break from the super hard sciences.
Reads off PowerPoint, stops class for one person talking in the back wasting class time. Does not put grades in a timely manner, switched homework away from webassign for 3 weeks after everyone paid for webassign. Tests are doable but not always relative to what is "taught" in class. Fails to check on students and take questions during lecture.
The reason I checked attendance as being non-mandatory is because her lectures are practically useless, just like her office hours. *reads powerpoint slide and says "do you understand this or not?" then immediately moves to the next one* She's not a very caring person at all. No semi-conductor theory either. Pick a different professor.
super nice professor, i loved her. went to her office hours, she really cares. only thing that makes me upset is that the whole semester my grade in webcourses wasnt weighed. prof dubey never told us it wasnt weighed until the last day of class. everyone had about 2 letter grades lower than what they could see in webcourses, no one knew. loved that
This class was awful. Didnt know it was studiomode until too late to change my schedule. format of class felt like I was being babied like in high school again. This professor didnt even give the proper grade on webcourses, didnt tell anyone until after finals and changed it to match the syllabus, dropping me 6pts. NO PARTIAL CREDIT ON ANYTHING
Thought the class was fine most of the semester until I realized the grades in webcourses weren't weighted at all, giving false grades. I know I could have had an A if I knew what my actual grade was and studied better, but because I didn't know until too late, I ended up with a B. She doesn't care about her mistake and says we should have known.
The whole grading scale is curved so a 60% is a C. She uses WebAssign for hw. Test/quiz questions are based directly off of the homework and or power point slides. To study for tests you should go over hw questions and math related questions in the slides. There is a derivation question on each unit test, but they are in the slides. Easy class
Unorganized lab section. The labs were graded horribly without explanation. Tests are only 13 questions with no partial credit. Quizzes are only 4 questions no partial credit. Did not have the correct weight in webcourses the entire semester and refused to correct it until after we took our final exams, dropping everyone's grades.
Pop quizes homework that is for credit but barely on quizes or test. Doesn't really give partial credit. Doesn't solve examples just breofly shows a list of steps.
Worst professor ever taken at UCF. Teaches the class like its a high school class. Does not help students when they ask questions, tells them to read the book. Disables grade calculations day 1 of class so you never know your grade in the course. DIDN'T ALLOW STUDENTS WHO WERE ESSENTIAL WORKERS TO MAKE UP EXAMS OR QUIZZES DURING COVID-19 OUTBREAK.
Professor Dubey is a very poor speaker and did not even cover 2/3 the material on the sylabus by the time the semester was over. Youtube is a better teacher, if your trying to learn from the professer and not teach yourself on the internet, this is NOT the class for you
Dubey is the worst professor I've taken at UCF or Valenica. Her lectures make no sense and are all over the place. She doesn't release her grading criteria / weights until there is one week left of the semester for some reason. She isn't understanding at all and denied essential workers during Covid-19 the ability to make up quizzes.
Dr. Dubey is by far the worst professor I have ever had. Her lectures are useless but you can't skip class because of unannounced quizzes on material that was barely covered. Exams have nothing to do with the homework and are all proofs. The class averages have consistently been failing.
Her studio-based lectures are very long but she wants to make sure that her students understand that material so she'll repeat herself throughout the time. The lecture powerpoints come straight from the textbook (which provides more detail). Make sure you go to class, labs are unannounced and she'll randomly take attendance. Go to her office hours
She made us use honorlock and wouldnt switch to another proctoring site even after multiple students expressed their concerns. She yells in class and expects you to understand the concepts right away. If you ask a question she yells too. I havent even taken the first exams and I just dont know how Ill make it through her class.
She is very unorganized, and seems unprepared during "lecture". Lecture basically consists of her reading over powerpoint, then saying "do you get it, ok" then moves on to the next slide. When students ask questions she yells, and says that they should know it. There's no schedule for assignments or when they are due. The whole class is a mess
Not even halfway thru the semester and she is, by far, the worst professor Ive EVER taken at UCF. Im a senior. She is unorganized, gets mad when questions are asked, and isnt timely in posting assignments. Then when students have problems, she blames US for her not posting on time. Please heed my warning. Any other professor would be better.
She is not an organized professor in any way. She blames her students for problems that arises and is not considerate when students address their problems. She just reads off of the ppts and expects students to answer right away, if they dont then she will yell at the class, multiple times. She is not clear on grades either. there is no structure.
Worst professor ever she does not care at all about her students. Its either you get it or you fail the semester. At this point anyone would be better then her. I warn you dont take her if you dont already know physics and have a phd in it. She only reads from slides and you cant ask questions.
Only one of 4 professors making students use an invasive proctor tool. Uses RealizeIT, which gives no feedback on why you submitted a wrong answer or help, you're stuck trying to figure it out on your own. Will give only one example, then ask questions that are not covered by the example. Professor lecture lags behind homework and doesnt change due
so I took her for physics 1 as I am a health sciences major. I feel bad for her because she's an old lady and you can tell she gets a lot of help from the Ucf staff. All of her exams are on honor lock so if you don't want to work for it then don't take her. you use something called realize it and it helps you more than the actual lectures. mediocre
Tough class for sure. She isn't the best at explaining things and all the exams were on Honorlock. You can't tell what grade you have in the class till the very end because she disables it on canvas. I wish I would've taken anyone else. I had to essentially teach myself all of it. Wouldn't have passed if I didn't get LOTS of help elsewhere.
There is group work in this class like labs and worksheets but they are simple and we get plenty of time to work on them. She spends a lot of time going over practice problems in lecture and she is great during office hours. The lowest midterm gets dropped. My only complaint is that tests are very short, so every question is a letter grade.
Dr. Dubey is literally such a sweetheart. She does everything she can to help students pass. Physics itself is a hard subject and she does her best to help students. She offered extra credit twice during the semester and drops your lowest midterm exam. Attendance is mandatory as she does in class assignments that are usually group work.
Dr. Dubey is the sweetest professor ive had thus far. Physics is a hard subject to learn and im sure a hard one to teach, but she made this class very manageable. She works very hard to make sure you understand the material and puts lots of effort into teaching. Also had AMAZING tas this semester. 100% recommend taking her.
Dr. Dubey was really sweet and made an effort to ensure her students pass her class. There is an extra credit project and dropped lowest midterm grade. You do have to attend class and work with your lab group but the assignments are really helpful for comprehension and exams. Only downside is RealizeIt takes forever to do
Professor Dubey is earnest about her job to teach, she truly cares about the success of her students in the class and is always available when you need help. Her tests are based off her study set questions and she even drops your lowest test grade. She gets a bad rep from those who don't want to put in any effort and are looking for an easy A.
I'm not sure why Dr. Dubey has negative reviews, other than the trend of the negative reviews seems to be when classes were all online. Her studio has been amazing, and I am SO upset she is not doing Physics2054C! She gives amazing lectures, is extremely helpful and efficient, and she's actually pretty silly sometimes. I absolutely love this woman!
Didn't understand anything she was explaining. If you are good at self teaching and that's your preferred style, then this will give you that easy option. Plenty of assignments, and the online assignments felt like it was useless when taking tests
She isn't bad as a professor, she's caring, but if you struggle with math and science concepts and self teaching, you may not want to take her. She gives homework (some take longer than others), in class activities (you have about 36 hr to submit), discussion worksheets (you get credit for completion) and 3 exams and a final.
I do not recommend taking PHY 2053 with this instructor. Lectures include heavy accent, small writing, whiteboard, and reiteration of the same concept. Always is available if help is needed. taught myself since the lectures were incomprehensible and redundant. Does not give feedback on exams, just score. Grades are calculated at end of semester.
Terrible lectures test decided most of grade
Sweet lady, but wasn't a very good teacher. I did most of my learning outside of class, which put me in a good position to do well on the exams, which were heavily based on the practice questions she would post beforehand and PAL assignments. If you do well learning on your own, take her and you will get a good grade. If not, then definitely avoid.
YOU HAVE TO SELF TEACH IN COLLEGE. If you can accept that fact, this professor is wonderful. Her exams are not easy, but if you properly prepare you have a very good chance at an A/B on every exam. IMO the best professors are those who properly prepare you and then fairly challenge you. Dr. Dubey does just that. 10/10 would recommend for physics.
She is happy to help in any way she can. Drops 1 of 3 midterms and gives 15% bonus to final (35% of grade) with a quiz she does in class. You need to self teach the concepts. All the answers come from the prep material she gives. The class is an easy A if you put in the work to learn enough. Getting a 44% (+15%) on the final I passed with a B+.
Dr. Dubey was wonderful! She is so nice and is very understanding, however this doesn't mean to slack off though. To get an A you have to do her Study sets and PAL homework assignments (requires reading textbook). Tests were fair and if you study you should do good! She provides Extra credit on the final which was extremely helpful!!
Physics is not an easy subject, but Dr. Dubey makes physics simple and straightforward. Concepts are covered multiple times in class and students work in groups to complete worksheets. Grading is favorable and exams are similar to practice problems. One of the nicest professors on campus and wants you to succeed. Drops lowest exam (not the final).
10/10 recommend! I'm a junior and this is the FIRST professor Ive had that is down to Earth and easy to talk to. I always felt comfortable going to office hours. The professor is super patient. I had a nightmare of a time with PHY 1 and was nervous going into this. DUBEY is awesome! Not an easy subject but Dubey made it tolerable!
The other reviews on this page are not true when they say she gives EC. She grades with no curve and gives no partial credit or EC. Her exams are on the difficult side as they are only 14 questions, most of them being complex. She worked well to help during office hours, but her lectures are painful to go to. Take a different professor.
I was able to get a 96 (and she curved everyone an entire letter grade after the final apparently) without showing up to half of the lectures. The rest of these people need to stop complaining and expecting an A in everything without effort. It's physics its not suppose to be easy. She is extremely nice and understanding. Take her if you can!!
This class is already not easy. Dubey is a little difficult to understand sometimes and the only reason I did well was bc of the homework she would assign. If you just continuously go through the homework and the PRACTICE PROBLEMS!!!! you will do fine. She does give lots of extra credit too which is only reason I landed an A
I highly recommend professor Dubey. Physics is not going to be easy, but if you attend her lectures and understand how to do the homework you will be fine. She explains concepts really well and her exams are mostly the same exact homework problems.
This professor has a slight accent but easy to understand. She gives pop quizzes but will say ahead of time when they are being given and they are group quizzes. Three exams but if you do the study guide and homework they are not difficult. She cares about her students and answers emails very quickly. Definitely recommend.
If you're someone who is taking this class with other classes this is your chance to do well in physics. Physics is not easy but Dr. Dubey's exams aren't too difficult if you study the homeworks and the PowerPoint. You can't fail she will literally contact you to help you out and set up time any day any hour on the weekends to help you out.
I loved having Professor Dubey for physics 1! The subject itself will be new to most, thus difficult, regardless of the professor. I appreciated how she walked through the steps in the problems and her exams were very fair. She wants to see her students succeed and understand the subject! She is definitely the best physics 1 professor.
Amazing physics professor!! If you do her study set Qs & pay attention to the hw quizzes and ppt examples you'll do great. She is a very caring professor and willing to help. I did not attend class all the time and still wound up with an A, amazing prof.
Read off the power points, only reason to attend lectures is for the pop quizzes but exams were easy and if you go over the quiz homeworks you'll pass the class, Easy A here IF you actually try!
of course this class was hard- it's physics. prof. dubey does a great job at simplifying it for you, and her class is not exam heavy at all as they are weighted about the same as your other assignments overall. i did poorly on all 3 mids AND the final but still passed with a C. just do the work & your best. currently taking her for 2054 :)
Professor Dubey does a great job explaining the material in a conceptual way as well as working problems out so you understand how to actually do them. She has alot of homework assignments, but they can literally save your grade. She drops the lowest test and either her or the TA is always available if you have questions.
4 exams total, 3 midterms, lowest gets dropped. Final is cumulative. Listen to her in class and utilize the hw. She is super sweet and genuinely cares about her students. Physics is a harder class to understand but she provides all the necessary tools that you need to succeed. Apply yourself, review the hw, study sets, and wk and you'll do great.
She has quizzes on every chapter (she goes over in class), minimial homework and drops the lowest test grade. She does have some accent but not difficult to understand at all. She is avaibale during office hours and throughly explains concepts in class. The is also textbook is online and free to all students.
Professor has a slight accent but is easy to understand. Exams are directly based off homework and quiz questions. There are homework assignments but they are all due at the end of the semester and are fairly easy. She answers all questions students may have and is very caring and understanding.
Dr. Dubey truly cares about all of her students and tries to make the class as bearable as possible, for a subject that is innately difficult. Tests are straightforward and she is good at explaining concepts.
Physics is hard. A lot of material is self taught/lots of practice. Professor Dubey is such a kind and caring person. The blonde TA is helpful and always cheery. It helps with being in a long class being physics studio. Dubey really cares and wants her students to succeed. Take her if you can! Focus on studying the homeworks for exams
Dr.Dubey is simply the best. Anyone complaining about an accent is a child and is projecting their lackluster performance in the course. Do all the HW, show up to class for pop quiz, go to all the discussions, review the slides, read OpenStax and watch videos for supplementation. You will find success with this down-to-Earth and fair professor.
Physics is hard, but her lectures do a good job explaining concepts. Exams are 14 multiple choice questions each (math and conceptual) and 50mins long. three midterms, lowest is dropped and final is 20% of grade. tip: practice doing all the study questions in less than 3 minutes to mimic testing environment. she curved my semester but not others.
Physics can be tough, but Prof. Dubey makes it manageable. Attend class, work through the practice problems, and utilize Unstuck study AI - it's a game-changer for acing the exams. She genuinely cares about student success.
very understanding at the end of the day
Did horrible on the 3 midterms AND the final but still passed with a C. Tests are based off of the study sets she gives for each chapter. Very fair grading scale (60-65 is a C). Wants to help you pass and is very accessible outside of class. I did RS mode so we had 4 class meetings that were “mandatory” but no attendance so not really, shes great!!
I had to work very hard to get the grade and it was worth it. I attended almost all her office hours and she is so nice to be willing to teach me everything from the homework, quiz questions, and even exam reviews. It was all worth it as the powerpoints and homework helped but she clarified how that is and I learned a lot from her.
Professor Dubey is a very fair professsor and is incredibly accessible outside of class. I took the version where it's mostly online, self led learning. You have to attend one out of every 3 class periods and sign a piece of paper, but this was never graded. You have to try hard in this class but put the effort in and you'll pass!
Would not take her again. Did not understand her
Thick accent but is very willing to help outside of office hours. Took the section where we only had to attend 6 lectures out of the semester and attendance didn't count for anything. I did well on all the PAL homework and discussion posts and guessed on all the exams (which are multiple choice, including the final) and still passed with a C.
One of the best professors I had during my UCF years (im graduating this semester). Dr.Dubey is so sweet and caring. As and Bs are definitely achievable. This is physics 2, personally i found it easier than physics 1, but you also gotta put in the work. Go to class, take notes and study the slides and study sets! Dr.Dubey is amazing and very funny!
She is very sweet and knows what she's talking about. Tests are taken directly from PAL/study sets.
Took physics 1 online with her overall great experience; with 6 mandatory in-person sessions. She gives free access to the book, but have to purchase PAL. Do the PAL! It helps your grades a lot. Do the study set questions; they help a lot on the Exam. Exams were taken in the EPC.
Physics is not my best subject but Professor Dubey really helped me learn physics. Lectures are decent. She will make sure you are paying attention. Go to office hours! She wants to help you learn! Grading scale is fair. Outside of exams there is plenty to boost your grade. If you want an A, you do have to work hard.
I have taken Dr. Dubey again for Physics II and she still does not disappoint. In fact, it was easier than Physics I in my opinion. Her grading scale is still lenient, office hours very helpful, and exams are fair. She also gave a lot of extra credit because she cares about our grades. However, do not underestimate it as you need to practice.
Took this class for the credit so I didn't study too much. Only really studied for one of the midterms and that was enough to pass the class. She let's you drop one of the midterms, minimum passing is 60%, & there was an extra credit opportunity on the final exam. She was a very lenient, the perfect professor if you're a working student like me.
Very sweet professor. The course is difficult but she is very willing to help! Homework is done online through an adaptive learning program and fairly easy to navigate.
Please take Dr. Dubey if you can. Whoever has written a bad review for her should just put the fries in the bag, because her class was very easy to get an A in. If you want to succeed on the midterm exams, do the study sets and PowerPoint questions. 16 multiple-choice questions—many of them were straightforward, in my opinion. Plus, an A is an 88%.
Dr. Dubey was the GOAT. I passed RS 2053 with a 97. The UTA was super helpful too. The tests were just the study sets with numbers changed. The TA said to practice them, and he wasn't lying. If you can't pass this class, you're on za. At that point, just put the fries in the bag and clock out. It's that easy.
You could tell from the first class how much Dr. Dubey cares about her students. She was easy to reach via Canvas messages, and frequently extended office hours to be more accessible to everyone. The course was very challenging, but her extra credit bumped me to an A. I seriously cannot recommend her enough.
Physics 2 with this professor is not bad. Keep in mind that exams are not heavily graded (36%). Make sure you know powerpoints and practice sets very well for exams. Extra credit quiz at end of semester worth about 15 raw points added to final exam. No textbook technically, but you need to purchase access code for PAL
Easy professor and class. Formula sheet is given for all exams and questions resemble practice problems. Pay attention to what she says during lecture. Exams are not weighted very heavily in the final grade calculation.
She was pretty good. She really wants you to pass, so she's open to office hours to help and such. Gives extra credit through surveys, I would definitely study graphs and such just to rack up points. I regret not doing that. Physics can be hard, bombed the final but was still able to pass with an A.
Professor Dubey was terrific. Great lectures, accessible outside of class, easy tests. Tests are based VERY heavily on homework assignments. I've heard from most people that physics II was way harder than I, but she made it feel way easier. Homework and online textbook are PHENOMINAL at teaching if lectures aren't for u. Tests aren't weighted heavy
Professor has an accent & uses microphone which makes it hard to understand her. I don't like her teaching style as she just reads the slides. Example problems are very rare so you must teach yourself all the material. Tests are similar to HW & worksheets. Labs were annoying as no schedule is given of when we'd be doing them. Grade scale is lenient
Professor was great. Class was reduced seating (RS) so only have a few lectures a semester which are graded for attendance. Do the quizzes before taking the exam they are super similar. Class is mostly self led learning.
This course material is difficult to begin with I get it. But the lack of study guides and communication and preparation for 5 exams in one semester is what made this class harder than it had to be. Locking quizzes and past exams that could've been used for review is immature and just why is what I ask. When she says final exam is cumulative it is.
The final exam was extremely difficult, and when I sent her an email asking about the average, she said she does not look at the averages and told me the final was not challenging if I learned the material, but most of the material was locked, and I couldn't go back to review any of it. Her email was aggressive and told me not to send any more.
I took Dr. Dubey for PHY 2053 and 2054, and she was amazing both times. The RS mode was super flexible while I managed 16 credits. To do well in her class, watch her Panopto lecture recordings and complete the study sets—they're very close to the real exams. Plus, an 88% is an A. She's also very caring and wants her students to be engaged in class.
Dr. Dubey taught physics in a way that you were essentially teaching yourself the content. Basically the entire class bombed the exams and final. Very disorganized schedule, no one knew when labs were. I am a CS major (so this class is required but not super important), but if you're a Physics or Engineering major, I suggest taking someone else.
Exams were entirely multiple choice, with no curve or partial credit. I found the exams very challenging, and based on conversations with classmates, many students struggled as well. Exam averages were not shared. I ultimately passed with a C, but decided to retake the course next semester with a different professor.
