She is a good teacher and knows what she is teaching but her test are hard(I mean if you study) but I have to say that if you want to learn something take her and yea her quiz's are open book but barely of any help...But she is cool and very helpful...

the BEST physics professor I have ever had and this is coming from someone who HATED physics. She makes physics DO-ABLE and helps you throughout her courses.She actually cares whether you are getting it or not and is always available if you need her help. Physics is not an easy subject, but if you try and with help, you can pull through.

Her ENGR 110C class was quite interesting (to me at least). Her grading is fair and her lectures are somewhat monotonous. Nevertheless she expects good preformance and will feel somewhat let down if you underachieve which is somewhat rare. I do not know how she teaches physics but as far as the engineering class class is concerned she did good.

In a nutshell, if you give effort and she sees that you are honest and really trying she will pass you; it's not in her nature to fight with students. Her tests are somewhat difficult but her grading is soft. She stresses professionalism more than anything; late assignments will really upset her as well as bad attendance. Really misunderstood.

I had her years ago and I took PHYS2 two times with her.I have since transferd, but everything she taught me has stuck with me.Take advantage of office hrs. She is very helpful.Her class builds solid foundation and prepares you for the university and your career. Don't be afraid to take her, she is a nice person and an EXCELLENT professor.

She is very helpful and readily availible. Materials can be difficult; her class does require lots of reading and practice problems. She is very thorogh. The things you learn in her classes stick with you. I can't say that about all my professors. I would recommend her to any person who is interested in making real progress.

If you are a lazy mindless slug of a human being, then you should not bother wasting your time in her class. In her class your actually expected to put in time reading and practicing problems. Surprise! So if your some sort of whiny loser, take that attitude somewhere else.

She got her PH.D. from her native country. Which I believe that it is respectable, when teaching in the United States. Want to learn something useful; take one of their courses.

She's actually not that bad. She's willing to help you if you ask for it and to be honest, I had no clue what I was doing or what was going on in class, but I managed to pass with a C. =)

Easy class for me. Willing to help, but does not like questions beyond the scope. When you have a rapport with her she is really nice.

She is a great Professor, "Physics 222" is not that hard; it just requires lots of your time. If your nice with her, she will be very nice with you.

This is a difficult class to begin with, it is not her fault. She is very nice and is always happy to help in her office hours. She highly favors the students who get A's on her tests.

DIFFICULT!!! I heard that it's better to take this course elsewhere. All she does is conceptual problems on the board with no numbers at all. If you are trying to just "get by," you're going to have a rough time. You'll spend LOTS of time struggling on hw and trying to study OUTSIDE of class. Hint to pass the tests: DO THE HW.

Physics is not my thing, but if you do pay attention in her class and do the homework problems, you should be able to get an A. She explains the material well,and she knows what she is talking about when she is writing it on the board. If you have a question, ASK. She is a nice person, and wants you to do well.

This class is easy as long as you master Chap1~6. Afterward the only new concept will be some Chemistry-based stuff. She is willing to help. Try to clarify any conceptual problem; otherwise, the class will become hard as hell.

Instructor is definitely very helpful if you are seeking help. Physics is not an easy course but she definitely makes it much easier by giving out many types of assistance such as eqn sheets and bonus problems on the exams. She is not easy gonna have to work for your grade. She comes off intimidating but go to office hours shes very helpful there

My physics class was fantastic! You guys know that the physics is not an easy class. However, in this class you can learn many things. If you need help, do not hesitate to visit her. She will help you during her office hour. Her grade is fair, and she always tries to teach hard. She is nice and fair.To succeed in this calss,do your hw and attend SI

Dr. B is a great teacher who is dedicated to the improvement the quality of her class. If you want a good strong foundation in Electricity and Magnetism, Dr. B is your teacher. If you are just looking to get by, take it somewhere else. She comes off very tough at times, but she is extremely helpful and her class will benefit you greatly.

This is a difficult class simply due to the material. Unless you are naturally gifted, expect to spend a lot of time doing the homework, quizzes and labs. Take advantage of office hours. She is very helpful as she can offer more one-on-one help. Expect that she won't just give you answers though. You still have to think for yourself.

She has a really good curve and overall is a really easy grader...really pay attention to her notes...is extremely helpful don't be afraid to ask questions. I really liked her class :)

I really liked her class and she is really helpful...and she has a really easy curve...just pay attention and you will be fine!

This Class was really hard, but if you put the time and effort to study it should be fine. Her class is design to help people pass for the most part. Physic is difficult, but just study and do the hw and you should be fine. Shes a nice person, so talk to her if you're struggling

really wants her students to be successful. very helpful if you go to her.lectures can be boring, but they're interactive w/ the students which always makes things a little more interesting. lets the class joke around at times as well. easy grade if you skim your notes.

This is a good class to take, and a good professor to take it with. You'll gain some good knowledge

This course is very difficult. Unless you were born with the brain for physics, you must study very hard to obtain an A or a B. Tests are designed so that you can't just "plug in" the numbers into the equations. Asking for help during her office hour is crucial; she may be confusing during the class, but her one-to-one teaching is so much clear.

Dr. Subramaniam does a great job in teaching this course. Her lectures go hand in hand with the text. Although some will say that she gives out too much work, but how will you learn anything if you don't apply yourself. The textbook is a wonderful tool on becoming a successful student. Not only that, it is also cheap! I recommend Dr. Subramaniam!

This class teaches a lot about engineering. Students are going to learn many things about engineering that they never thought of. The professor has a unique technique of teaching students and it is very helpful indeed. Students will learn how to cooperate in teams to work on projects that help the students gain experience. Very interesting class!

After taking this course, I changed my major to engineering because I loved physics so much. Dr. Brinda is awesome and she will push you to work hard, there are no excuses and she's not afraid to call you out. I got an A and would take her as a professor again anytime.

Dr. Brinda is my favorite professor in Cypress because she is able to make a difficult science understandable. I got an A on every exam and the key to getting that A was doing the hw! do it all of it! the concepts may be difficult but they arent impossible to understand.

Her class is difficult because she knows the level that is taught at UC/CSU (warning: weeder course). She won't hold your hand but she will give you directions; This is the one class you actually need to read the book prior. She is very helpful in her office hours. I am an A student but I managed a B (took Calc 4 and Chem 111A same semester)

I'm horrible with physics & math in general but I got a B because I worked hard, went to her office hours, did the homework, and studied. Reading prior to lecture helps. It's a hard class and the lecture can get confusing, but her one-on-one teaching is so clear and helpful. Put in the work that she says you need to get an A or B and it's possible.

Hard class, you have to do the work. Reading is a must before lecture in order to understand. Do the HW! Ask questions & if you're too intimidated, ask after lecture or during office hours. She will make time for you if you can't make it to her regular hours. Go to SI if you can & especially if your SI instructor is good/helpful.

Concepts are difficult. Never miss lecture, pay attention, read chapter summaries & you won't need to read too much. Redo the problems she does in class, & if she tells you what problems to do, DO THEM. Go to SI if you can. Ask questions. She's intimidating but don't be scared because she's super helpful.

Very responsible professor. Know the material.She's really teaching physics, not making it an intro level class. Hard work is required.

Do the homework!! The questions end up on the test. This was the hardest class I have ever taken! Only take it if you are serious about being an engineering or math major! She won't sugar coat it if you suck she will tell you. She's tough but also fair. Her lectures are helpful GO TO CLASS. She is very helpful in her office hours.

Professor Brinda is great! Physics is a hard subject and she lets her students know this at the beginning of the semester. You must work for your grade. She covers everything you need to know for the exams. And is always receptive to answering questions. Overall hard class, and must put in the time to earn an A.

Be prepared to do lots of practice problems. Tests are all problem based. There are 10 problems on the test. She takes the top 8 of 10. She's a pretty fair grader. She also gives students who didn't do well on tests opportunities to make up points. Ask her questions in class as she tailors the test to class level. Difficult class but I liked her.

A very tough class. Must study hard, DEFINITELY attend SI, do practice problems, create study groups, ask questions, and put 200% effort in. Grade is majorly based on 4 exams with 10 problems which you have 3 hours to work on. Understand the concepts and apply it to problems. She expects NO memorization. Very intellectual professor.

Material for this class by itself is tough. It is really hard to chew. Thus, do teamwork and put 100% effort for this class. To Dr. Brinda, she dedicates to her teaching. She cares about students like her children. She also knows how to motivate you to achieve success. She is one of my favorite professor in Cypress College.

Dr. Subramaniam is a wonderful professor who wants her students to succeed. Make sure you go to her office hours, she will clear up any confusion! Enjoy the E & M labs, they will be the nicest out of any CC you go to.

Dr. Subramaniam Physics 222 class is very challenging. However, do not let that dissuade you. The skills you develop from her class are irreplaceable and will be vital for when you transfer. Dr. Brinda's lectures are engaging and she truly cares about her students' success. The effort you put into her class is proportional to your grade.

Professor Brinda is the most caring professor I have ever had. This is the most difficult class I have ever taken, and I don't think there are many classes this tough. However, she puts in so much effort to get us to understand the material that you wouldn't expect from a professor. Hands down, best professor.

Professor Brinda is awesome. She gives great lectures and explains things in ways that really help you remember. It's a hard class. To get an A, the homework and study questions are key. Just do a few problems a night. The tests are really tough but you're given every opportunity to prepare. You won't forget this class!

The class is naturally hard by itself due to the material. She will not hold your hand throughout the class but will definitely be happy to help you if you are serious about putting in the effort. She wants to prepare her students to transfer by exposing them to what it will be like in a CSU/UC classroom. Great teacher, highly recommend her.

At the beginning of the semester Dr. Brinda is tough but as the semester goes on she lightens up more, especially after the "W" deadline. So take the other reviews where the students withdrew the class with a grain of salt, they didn't experience the full class. Exams are tough, just make sure you practice. Don't let her stand in your way.

She is a really good professor that putting the effort for you to understand the material. However, the exam is extremely difficult that is harder than any other professor in Fullerton college based on 5+ people's experience who have taken at both Cypress and Fullerton college. Spend 35 hours every week will get you a C or B- in the class.

Dr. Brinda cares about you and wants to see you succeed. The material is hard, but she gives you every tool you need to get an A in her class. If you go to office hours she will help you through any homework problem so you will be prepared for exams. No surprises on exams, she tells you exactly what to study. Do the homework!

The class is hard subject matter wise but in my opinion Dr Brinda is a great professor and is very helpful throughout the process. She is the type of professor that wants to help you but you need to reciprocate the effort back in order to do good in the class. She is always available to answer questions.

Electrostatic and electromagnetic physics is a difficult subject to comprehend. Dr. Brinda is willing to help out if you make the effort to seek her help. Sure she may be a tough on her students as others have stated but that does not mean she doesn't care. If you are willing to put an effort into studying and ask questions, you will pass her class

PHYS 222 is a very challenging class, but that doesn't mean that it is impossible. Dr. Brinda will help you when you when you ask for it. She is extremely invested in her students and will go the extra mile to make sure that they succeed. You have to put in the work too though, don't expect the professor to take the class for you.

Dr. Brinda is a great professor. This class is a hard because the subject matter is very difficult. She has lots of office hour and are there to answer questions. She is always eager to help students any way she can. definitely recommends her.

This is a class that you have to put time into, but it's possible to succeed. Ask questions in class when you get confused and attend office hours whenever you're confused about practice problems or labs. She enjoys helping out students as long as they're putting in the work. Test questions (4 tests) are similar to textbook ones (get the pdf).

great professor and would definitely help you as long as you need if you go to office hours
