Good teacher, TOUGH class.

a very good and caring teacher. he makes that tough class easier than it is.

Dr. Stewart is wonderful. Take her class - she helps so much!

Tough Class, but unfailable grading scale

WONDERFUL PROF AND TEACHER. Always helpful!

She's helpful, but you'll have better luck just reading the book and doing the homework - that's where test questions come from.

Really awesome teacher, does a great job with students, but the material just isn't that interesting after learning it for 7 years before college. Like someone said earlier, she will go the extra mile for you, -especially- if you give good effort.

Don't listen to those idiots. If you manage to go to class and stay awake you'll learn quite a bit. Great for an intro class.

UPI text is not the greatest, but the assignemts and tests are totally helpfull....there is a LOT of homework and stuff, but as long as you put forth an honest effort and pay attention in class, its an easy A....THIS CLASS IS NOT FOR THE SLACKER!!

As long as you complete your daily homework and know a little about the section for a daily quiz, then you can make it through just fine. The test problems usually come directly from homework, so you just study hard on those & you'll make an A or B.

Do your homework, and her grading system guarantees a good grade. On 4 tests, I made 83, 0(missed the test), 42, and 71. Completely skipped the final, and got a B for the class. Homework is a must, though, to get extra points.

Dr. Stewart is a pretty good teacher, but the book is not completed, contains typos, does not have a glossary or index, and can be very confusing. The grading scale is excellent and makes it very easy to get an A if you dour homework and go to class.

She knows how to talk to students, but isn't exactly clear on what she wants all the time. The grading scheme can be complicated, but presently an 85 is an A. As long as one attends class and does the homework, the class can be fun.

Dr. Stewart's class gets old because of the daily homework, but if you do the homework, go to the labs, and go to the lectures, you have enough drop points so that you don't have to take the final! Though I didn't enjoy it, I believe that I learned more in this class than in most I've taken at UA.

pretty easy teacher. i sat in the front and made fun of her with some other kids, so she liked us. challenging class. if you can pay attention, she's not bad. good office hours. offers help. i enjoyed her class just fine.

It's not that hard to get an A, there is a lot of work, but it you do it, a good grade is not hard.

Lots of homework, but it helps your grade tremendously. Great teacher- you don't have to be a math/physics whiz to understand her class.

Dr. Stewart gets a lot of bad press from students because physics is hard! I promise that her class is relatively easy for the subject matter. She was always very approachable when I had a question or a problem.

Not that hard as long as you do your homework. Test are very predictable; many problems come straight from homework and practice tests--and she'll often hint at the specific problems. Be sure to check the grading on your tests; they make a lot of mistakes.

Horrible lectures, bring something to do to stay awake. Hard and time consuming homework. If you need help go to her she is a genuine teacher who really cares for her students and cares more about you learning the matterial than giving you a bad grade and is very willing to work with you. Great person, wish there were more teacher like her.

Lectures were really boring, but you had to go to do the lecture quiz. So many different assignments to do for that class, it was just hard to remember what to do. The teacher was very nice though, she really wanted everyone to learn. Not to mention, the grading scale was way more than fair! (85-100 A)(70-85B) etc...

She's not the greatest teacher when shes teaching a class of 200+ (shes ok) but she is very helpful 1 on 1 and really works well with students to help them. Grading scale is very fair. Very nice teacher once you get to know her.

She gives about the most boring lectures Ive ever attended. (1/2 the class is asleep) HW is stupid because it is over material not covered. The book is worthless. I heard she is a good and nice teacher who cares if you get to know her.

The trick to make an A is simply to read the book, attend lecture (she keeps you in class with quiz/homework grades), and make good use of lab time and your TA. Know basic trig/geo. High test grades = final exemption. Lecture = boring, right from book. She'll keep you until after class, so get ready to miss the bus if you take it.

Clearly explains, however: she wrote the book, so she's not wrong.

She's a really nice lady, but sometimes the way she explained things was really complicated. The lab helps A LOT. Her tests were fairly straightforward and similar to the homework, however they were still somewhat difficult. Take UPI honors if you can - nothing different, only a project due at the end. The project can be time consuming though.

Slightly bad at explanations. Students are likely to miss a lot of what she says. Some teachers keep repeating important stuff and making sure everyone is aware of what is going on. Not her. If you are not paying rapt attention, you will miss a lot..

The majority of my homework time is spent on physics, but Dr. Stewart is a great teacher for Physics! She is monotone and has a dry sense of humor, but I definitely suggest her.

She's not bad teacher, but the amount of work she gives can be overwhelming. Go to class and be sure to over homework; because, the test usally comes directly from homework.

Although her lectures are very monotone, she is easy to understand and comprehend. She gives lots of examples and is very open to questions (exact opposite of her husband, John Stewart). I had her in my lab, which helped tremendously. I recommend introducing yourself to her, it will make a big difference!

Class is twice a week. You dont learn much in class. Labs are time consuming, but help you a lot. Tests are hard, you have to study for them. TAs are very helpful.

Her entire research centers around physics education, so you will learn if you choose. Very demanding on your time. You must attend class, do the homeworks, and read the book. Passive study will not do. Know your algebra and trig. The easiest hard class I've ever had. Office hours are available from her and TAs all week. Dry and snarky humor.

Excellent teacher. Physiscs is a difficult subject and requires the student to actually put forth effort. Her class is much the same. She is highly knowledgeable and helpful, but you must invest time in actually learning.

You have to do the hw and go to class but I loved her. She has a dry sense of humor so you need to pay attention to get her jokes, but overall, she is one of my favorite professors I have evear had. I got a 92% on the final just by studying the review sheets. You just have to put in the work to get a good grade.

Dr Stewart does read from the slides but she has points to make besides them. You learn a lot in lab in this class. She isnt a bad teacher; she's really nice and she DOES care about her students. Tests aren't hard if you attempt to understand the material and learn from your mistakes! She allowed us to correct errors on a hard test for half credit.
