I'm not aware of anyone failing her classes, she seems to give a C to anyone that makes it to the end of class, despite failing the tests, but getting a higher grade is hard. Her standard answer to questions is "I don't know, you tell me." Find someone else if you plan to go farther in physics, cuz you'll be unprepared.

Gloria Ramos is very bad at explaining/teaching physics. Only take this class if you are already good at physics and can teach your self new concepts. If you want a "C" attend all her class meetings with all the homework done. Go to another college for physics 201!

Unclear. It is better to study by myself

She is so unclear,does not like to review old material if asked to. She is not helpful and sometimes mean...

IF you want to pass and not learn anything, take her. But if you are serious about physics and need to learn the material stay away. I regret taking this class, it's the only B i have on my transcripts and all i got out of it was F=ma. She does not seem excited about teaching and in my opinion should work in industry, not education.

I took her class. She don't know how to teach physics. NEVER take her class

If you think some teacher in citrus chem department is hard and the worst, you will know they still great after you take her class. She just dunno how to teach. Don't take her class.

Useless. Worst.

bad teacher.

she doesnt really help at all. your going to have to wait on those homework assignments you want back because shes not going to give them to you. she doesnt seem to be too interested in teaching. she would probably be a lot better off in industry. shes a smart person just not a great teacher. hopefully i pass even though i havnt learned anything

Terrible lecturer, extremely hard to follow, makes up most labs on the fly, and does not return homework or tests until AFTER the final exam. She didn't show any real interest in teaching & was absent for nearly 3 weeks of class. Grade scale is curved beyond belief otherwise 80% would fail. DO NOT TAKE HER! You will not understand physics!

She low of teacher in physic course. Not quite good understand about her teaching, very hard grader. Absence all the time, just depend on the motion of the studen with her. How sad for the time took this course.

she seriously shouldn't be teaching this subject..just because a person may know about it doesn't mean they can teach..she is clearly the example..her lectures have nothing to do with what is on her tests..her test..are all work problems that don't make sense..she always cancels class..and labs..takes forever to post grades and solutions up..

god bless any who willing to take her i hated her she cancel classes and divide tests in two section she want you to read and who will read ohysics dont take her,dont take her,dont take her,dont take her,

I recieved an A from her. Even then, I am dismayed by her lack of know-how and teaching skills. She teaches very little, took a couple of weeks off (right before our finals), and then handed us an exam that was ridiculously hard (given that we had never covered it in class). Exams are hard and teaching is lax. Makes for a bad combination.

Nice person, awful instructor. Never grades anything in a timely manner and her lecture is essentially copying the solutions manual -- errors and all. Repeat for 16 weeks for no comprehension and a grade out of a black box. If you can put up with teaching yourself (only teacher for 201), go for it, but you are pretty much on your own.

take this class anywere else i just had her for fall 10 and think i learned nothing i dont know why citrus leaving here they should fire here or leaving her in lower division class this message for citrus college dean office save the next generation please and for student do your best to avoid her by the way my major was physics but now is nursing

Lab was confusing and lacked direction. it is the end of the semester and the entire class has yet to see how they did on the first test. She hands out homework to be due, for some reason, 5 days a week and at sporadic times. She posts homework on blackboard over the weekend without prior notice in class. Very forgetful.

She is the worst teacher I have ever had. She does not help at all. Her lectures are useless! I used to take lecture notes, but I realized it did not help me when I received my first test. She gives so much homework as well. She is absolutely the worst teacher ever and needs to be removed! Also, she definitely favors certain students.

If she says anything is pretty "straightforward", do not believe her. I repeat, DO NOT BELIEVE any hints she gives about the tests or rely on the assigned homework for self-studying. The massive amounts of homework are excessively easy while the tests are inanely difficult.If you can avoid the class until after you transfer, by all means, wait.

She gives way too much homework and the lectures are bad. There are no good reviews for the tests and she doesn't even tell you your grade or go over them. Taking this class with this terrible professor is a huge risk, take it somewhere else if you want to save your GPA!

202/203 are a HUGE disservice to all future engineers. 100% self taught; unacceptable for foundation coursework. Instruction is vague/misleading, at best. Nice person/horrible educator. Do the problems assigned in class and look at the green highlighted problems in the textbook to prepare for tests. In a STEM-proud campus its mind-bogglingly bad.

This is by far the hardest classes ive taken. Not because the material is too hard, its because Ramos is a terrible teacher. She was gone 5 days this semester, she had to rush the last 3 weeks of class. Now its the final, and i have no idea what to study. She needs to stop being a professor, she cares about her dog more than her students...

I highly recommend taking Physics elsewhere. There are a litany of issues we had with her. 1-she does not respond to emails 2-we did not know our grades until 1 week after the final 3-empty promises. She continuously stated she would upload the necessary materials. She stopped after 2 weeks. 4-her grading scheme is obscure and confusing.

She will keep pushing things back until the last couple of weeks. No one knows there grade in the class.

Doesn't return or grade quiz/tests until the very last week of school. If you decide to take her make sure to be on your best behavior in class and ask a lot of questions. Be sure to visit her during her office hours as well.

Worst professor in the physics department. She might be one of the reasons why the physics department at Citrus College is one of the worst departments at Citrus College.

She doesnt teach. she assigns (surprise, surprise) Mastering Physics Homework one day before its due and its not only hard, but timed also and its very difficult to get a good grade only because Masterings are picky graders.

This class was an absolute joke. She left for 2 months with no notice and then suddenly appeared back saying she had "back issues". She makes us use python in a freaking physics class and when her students tell her that we don't know how to even code she just says there are not that many assignments so it's fine. Worst professor ever.

Absolute worst teacher I've had. She doesn't communicate, never grades things on time, and gives course work that is not relevant to the course. She drops off the radar and leaves students in the dark. Her lectures are not helpful and you end up having to use different resources ,other than the ones she provides, just to barely pass the class

Are you kidding? She disappears for a month without saying anything then proceeds to dump months worth of work in the last two weeks of class expecting us to master all the material. This has to be a joke.

Left for nearly 2 months dumped 5 units in 2 weeks. Tried to contact her but refuses to talk to students unless it's for an interview. Deans won't get involved either.

I gave this class the benefit of the doubt, but it absolutely missed the mark. It had so much potential, especially for someone who was just starting to enjoy Physics. Prof. Ramos's total lack of communication for WEEKS with her students, empty promises, and unclear instructions ruined my experience. If you have the option, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!

This professor is arguably the worst at Citrus College. You see, the material itself is not the worst in the world, but with hybrid classes, she would give us a 10-20 page lab document and give it to us with minimal explanation. This wouldn't have been so bad had her directions not been inconsistent and unclear. She does not grade on time either.

Makes Rieder seems like the best Prof. She is almost never accessible outside of class as office hours are short and canceled. Ramos takes a while to correct grades so you will not be able to see if you passed until the end of the class. Her grading style is so confusing. Lectures are confusing as she even gets her own facts wrong.

Avoid this professor at all costs!! The majority of her ratings are a 1 for a reason. Despite this, I gave her a chance and instantly regretted it. She disappeared from her whole class for a month and a half and made us squeeze in all that work in the last 3 weeks. Her style of determining your grade also sucks!! Mastry assignment and interviews...

Your grade in the class is based on your ability to correctly answer her "challenge problems," which are insanely difficult and given on the timed in person exams. The material itself is not that difficult but the way it was presented through the videos made it confusing. She's the only 202-203 professor so your best bet is to learn from the book.

I had Ramos for both Physics 202 and 203, both classes fully online. She is by far most disorganized and unclear professor I have ever had. I did not receive ANY grades or feedback for tests, homework, or quizzes. She consistently failed to post lectures, and disappeared from the class for 3 weeks without any warning. Your better off self teaching.

week one: her class is an absolute LABYRINTH of assignments. Each one has multiple levels across several mediums of apps and she wants you to consistently be looking at and commenting on eachothers work. as a lower-div course, half the people here don't care about the subject and just want to pass. i LOVE physics and already HATE this class

This is the worst class I have ever taken by far. There are so many unnecessary assignments for no reason. Having us comment constantly on assignments is such a waste of time. She has everything set up so complicated too.

She did not grade anything until the last project. Was a hybrid class and did not teach at all. An example would be our unit 3, which she did not post any videos and had an exam within 2 weeks. Gives out packets during class and says figure it out. Horrible explainer and hard to understand what she is trying to teach.

She doesn't grade anything until the last week of the semester, so you don't know your grade at all. Halfway through the semester, she stopped uploading her online lectures so you had to teach yourself the material because during class all you do is fill out packets of busy work.

This professor is terrible. Every class she gives us "Skill builders" packets and thats it. We basically taught ourselves and the challenge problems are insane. I learned Absolutely nothing in this class, she just sits there, on her laptop while all of us struggling to learn the concepts of each unit. Good luck to everyone that has to take her.

Dont even bother its not a skill issue, the reviews are fr. I'd suggest to consider taking your physics sequence at another CC.

The awful professor I've ever seen in my life.

It's almost the end of the semester and nobody knows their grades. She described the class structure in detail at the beginning and in the syllabus but did almost nothing of what she said. If there wasn't a word count, I would say so much more. Overall, the absolute worst professor I have EVER had in my life. Do not take her, even if you're smart.

She barely teaches you anything and when she does, she expects you to know everything despite the fact that you are in a beginner course. Also she doesn't posts your grades until the end of the semester. Take physics with someone or somewhere else because you aren't going to learn a single thing in this class.

Despite what she says at the beginning of the semester your grade is determined by, challenge problems, portfolio assignments, and attendance. Show up 70% of the time, do your portfolios by the end of finals week and answer as many challenge problems as you can and you can get an A. However self teaching is necessary because she doesn't rlly help.

Pro Impossible to Fail Cons It's impossible to earn above a C Unclear grading criteria for important assignments/tests "Flipped" classroom leaves all responsibility to students ALL Assignments and test problems are graded AT the end of the semester Three different textbooks Despite years of feedback, there is an obvious lack of improvement

It's imperative to attend class as you can often miss important topics, classwork is done purely in groups where it was just you, your team, and a difficult packet, everything was taught online despite being an in person class, and she doesn't give feedback on any of the assignments or tests till the end of the semester. 3 words Worst. Prof. Ever.

I can only thank this Prof for one thing and that's giving me something to complain about to people 24/7.

Only reason I got through this class was due to my group mates. I had other people there to increasingly get more fed up with the class and our professor together. Assignments won't even get graded so you feel like you essentially did them for nothing. The intention for kindness is there, but lacks severely as a professor just so disorganized.

The intent for a well-structured class was there, but there was no follow through, resulting in an even more stressful class. Nothing was graded until the last week, rarely available, no feedback/help, lectures close to useless, in class activities were wasted time, insane work. Practice problems and retakes will save you. Free textbook though...

don't take you physics here if you want to transfer, always cancel class for her cats, and exam was never fair, final was horrible, we didn't even get a regular final. It's also algebra based physics not calculus. was my only c every running my transcript

Look back at the 20+ years of reviews on this website to get to know this professor. unbelievable how things never change.

Clearly does not care about the class. Does not grade until the end of the semester. She also did not submit grades until january after my fall semester class (luckily I wasnt transferring that semester!). Getting a C requires almost no work, and getting an A requires luck for her to accept your answers, as she is a wildly inconsistent grader.
