Lectures are very easy and can be skipped because it's so general. She does not give coding examples and expects you to know how to code at an intermediate to advanced level. When CPS118 is the only coding course sci students have taken, it makes you wonder why this course expects you to do so much. Lab TA only gives hints and is forced not to help

lectures aren't posted and it is all off of textbook. her lectures go by fairly quick as she spent quite a bit of time on practice questions. she recommends 8 hours of homework per 3 hours of lecture.

This has to be the worst professor in existence. She doesn't know how to teach and expects us to buy a 85 dollar textbook with homework problems given, thats the only way you can maybe succeed. She has ADHD goes by the stuf so fast, notes are not posted and you have to take notes. the formula sheet is also pretty useless

She might genuinely be the worst professor in this university. She cannot teach, doesnt upload any lectures, past finals or even practice questions unless its her homework thats behind a $80 paywall. She constantly gets her own solutions wrong which she had to correct the next lecture. Do not take this course unless you want suffering and agony.

Worst prof ever. If she has to be your professor just drop the class and take in the summer, its not worth it. She doesn't post anything, and is horrible and teaching. she just reads off her textbook and still gets things wrong. I don't think she even knows her own subject and doesn't answer any questions.

Lowkenuinely, this instructor's teaching style significantly hinders learning. Lectures are consistently plagued by frequent errors, many of which go uncorrected, leading to confusion rather than clarity. Concepts are often rushed through at an unreasonable pace, with little regard for whether students are actually keeping up.

Genuinely the worst prof you can get for physics, avoid at all costs, she has no clue what she's doing half the time and has 0 regard for her students. Don't be fooled by her final and midterm being multiple choice; you still have to solve the whole question and show all your work for the mark, which defeats the whole purpose of an MCQ.

Reasons why she's the worst prof: 1 you are set for failure because she doesn't post notes and she expects you to already know most of the stuff before hand. 2 you have to buy the book and the homework to get 10% of your grades 3 even though questions are mcqs if you dont show working you dont get marks and finals are cumulative *Run Away*

I do not want to bring personal opinions into this, but this woman has caused me so much grief throughout the semester, even though the material really isn't that bad. She keeps trying to smile in class, even though 80% of her classes are failing, as well as attending other professors' classes. She is the perfect depiction of an awful professor.

She is one of the worst physics professors avaliable at tmu. She doesn't care about the students and doesn't make her notes available if you miss a class. She can't teach properly and she just rewrites her notes on a new note and presents that as her notes. Makes countless errors, which should be impossible when copying off notes she pre-made

in terms of PCS110 it's 90% grade 11 and 12 physics review, so if you did well on that, you will do just fine no matter the prof. however, if you have no prior physics knowledge i do not recommend this prof she doesn't do a good job at explaining complex topics and brushes over most of the content.
