She means well and wants you to learn. She is up front about her expectations and syllabus and expects no less. 5 week course was a lot to handle with a full time job but ended up with a 88. For a full semester she would probably be great. Don't buy the textbook. Her exams are lecture based.

Professor is very straight forward. Follows the syllabus exactly and there is no surprises. As long as you watch lecture videos with example problems and do homework you will do great. The tests will have problems similar to the examples in lectures and homework, that is all you need to study. Practice the problems multiple times it will help!

The quizzes are only 25 minutes long, and the multiple choices for each question are 10+. you either get a 100 or a 75, and they can affect your grade. I kept missing one question and I couldn't get an A on the class even if I get 100 on the final. don't take her if you want an A on physics 2. Good luck

Get ready to watch 5+ hour long lectures per chapter and 4-15 answer choices per question on tests and quizzes. Don't bother asking for extra credit or rounding of your grade, the professor will make it clear from day one and continually remind you throughout the semester. Learned more from 10 minutes of YouTube than hours of those lectures.

She will not give you extra credit, no matter how many times you ask. She won't even answer you. she doesn't round up grades if you have a 69.99, you'll fail the class good luck

Probably the worst professor I have taken in all of college. It is nearly impossible to get an A; I had to sacrifice my social life just to keep an A in this class. The professor takes forever to explain the materials in the lectures: each week requires you to watch at least 4 hours of her boring videos. I definitely regret taking this class.

Professor Bekisli is not the best professor. Her lectures are 4 hours long. She takes a lot of time explaining stuff that still we do not understand. When she explain something a problem, she doesnt do it at the same time. Everything in the problem is written and solve, so it is hard to understand how to solve a phys problem. I dont recommend her
