VERRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYY HARD never take her, ever, ever...... NO way. really bad teacher no explanations at all. HARD tests which have nothin to do with what she says

Doesn't explain notes or what is going to be on te test. Doesn't have free time for tutoring.

This is not a course to take online with her, communication through email is very limited. You will be on your own. Somebody got their money's worth from this class, too bad it wasn't the students.

She is clearly passionate about astronomy and physics however she is not passionate about teaching or students. She consistently fails to cover material on the tests and if she makes a mistake or crap grades you dont hope for a change because it wont happen. You wont get any grades back until the end of the semester. whole class failed one test.

STAY AWAY! Doesnt teach material on tests. Questions are subjective. Material isnt to hard but her tests are impossible. You will fail with her!! Doesnt matter how many times you read book and study you will still fail. Trust me Im an honor student. Our whole class had to retake a test die to unacceptable overall grades. Stear Clear!!

Tests are impossible b/c she does not teach it and not in book. Tried as hard as I could in class and still did real bad. I feel bad I pay her money to hang me out to dry like that. No way to do well in this class.

I have never made a grade lower than a B until this class. Making a D in Professor Appleby`s class is outstanding. It is the equivalent of making an A in any other class ever. She will not help you. The only grade that matters is the final and she will not post anything until the end of the semester.

Class subject material not hard at all, very interesting but conceptually easy Teacher however is ice cold, no compassion and tests dont cover material in class or book i was very disapointed Its like she purposly sabotoges her students pick someone else if possible or dont take this class.

DO NO TAKE HER! She is smart but doesnt care about students. No review she cant even remember when tests are and material is. Dont know why she became a teacher if she hates kids so much. You will not pass this class no matter how hard you try.

WARNING: This is a legit review and this is a terrible professor. I did the extra credit but she didnt take it because I handed it to her after the class had started. Nonsense tests. Poor attitude. Stear Clear. Not Kidding!!!

She is very good at explaining things but her test are IMPOSSIBLE to pass. Her class is very rigorous and I hated it. Unless you like a challenge, I would not recommend taking her class.

This is one of the most difficult class I have ever taken

*PHYS 1404 She does not enter grades right away. We had to wait until the VERY LAST DAY (the day professors are required to turn in grades) to find out what our grade was. She does not reply to emails at times. No test reviews. The only good thing about her was her enthusiasm for the subject. I don't recommend her. Even the "smart" kids struggled.

The professor is great! It's just she doesn't have time to reply back on emails and update her syllabus for new class terms which gets the dates all confusing. Especially if you're taking an online class.

Going into this class I had a 4.0, leaving I was lucky to make a C. It was very hard to get a hold of her via email and since this was an online class it was critical. She was nice when meeting face to face but this was the HARDEST class I have taken. I understand this is a college class but this class was a lot harder than it should of been.

Very nice person. However, she doesnt really teach us how to solve problems in class. I had to get a tutor for the homework or otherwise it will take 8-9 hours to complete it. I have never needed a tutor until this class. By far, the hardest one Ive ever taken. I really think the prof could do better by giving some examples of the assignment

She's very nice but is a very tough grader, she expects everyone to participate. I highly encourage the textbook, in order to study. Sometimes she has a warmup question or like an exercise at the beginning of the class. She makes everyone speak up.

The hardest class ever taken because she likes to trick you with her exam questions. No example were ever used and the weekly reading was too much for no reason. The labs were boring and never really connected. Toughest grader and physics is an actual fascinating topic but I spent too many nights not sleeping over this class

Just like the restaurant Applebees, you think her class would be fine for the semester and she presents herself as a great professor, but I knew I made a mistake once entering. She presents herself as a great professor (which she isn't), but don't go if you want to spend nights on end studying material. Just like the restaurant, she fails as a prof

I've never been more disappointed in a class. Perhaps its the pandemic, but who knows. If you're expecting quick responses or online lectures, this isn't the class for you. Your methods for learning are the textbook and a series of YouTube videos she's posted. We're half way through the semester, and only have 2 things graded, neither of them tests

I took Prof Appleby for Summer I, and she was so terrible. It's amazing how ignorant she can be. She got mad at us once for not paying attention in lecture. Has it occurred that maybe if you didn't assign so much Sapling hw, we would pay attention in your boring class? Very tough grader and doesn't have any idea how sig figs work. Got a C in here

I took this class as a junior in High School as a part of the collegiate program. This class is VERY test heavy. Each test was worth 20% of our total semester grade. Our first test the highest grade was a 62%. MANY vague and tricky questions on the test that NO AMOUNT OF STUDYING CAN PREPARE YOU FOR. I attended every class. OFFERS NO EXTRA CREDIT!!

If you email to ask for help, hope you can wait a week. If you want to teach yourself everything with minimal guidance and unclear instructions then this is the class for you. Also nothing was graded in a timely fashion. Out of 13 labs, only 2 were graded. The new professor who took over couldnt grade everything before the due date.

I only needed to take this class because I needed physics 1 so i used this class as a learning experience. It was a challenging class because the professor was never available. she made up excuses through out the entire online fall semester. And her grading tactics were ridiculous. Thankfully, the new instructor was lenient and more open to meeting

Very little to no lectures. Everything is straight from the textbook. Everything is self-taught. Labs are long and confusing. You're like expected to already know this stuff before taking the class. Concepts and lessons are easy but will leave you stranded in labs with no help. You can't call yourself a teacher if you don't give lectures.

This was THE worst professor I have ever had, Don't listen to the good reviews. This class is very time-consuming and takes away from other classes and life in general. She doesn't read or reply to emails. I sent her one during the first week of school, and she has yet to reply. PLEASE dodge a bullet, DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. it's not worth it.

PLEASE, do NOT take this Professor. She is the worst professor I have ever had. She doesn't respond to emails, doesn't grade assignments, and blames YOU for not understanding material when she doesn't give the resources to FULLY understand it. 90% of my class dropped within the first month. AVOID THIS PROFESSOR AT ALL COSTS, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

STAY CLEAR OF THIS PROFESSOR WHO DOES NOT TEACH! She does not grade items until the last second,never responds to emails,gives ZERO direction on tests and expects you to know all the answers by ONLY reading the textbook material. Procter's all her test's and will give NO study guide. Does not matter how much you read the textbook you will not pass.

The biggest downfall of taking professor Appleby's class is that her lectures only cover conceptual topics in an incredibly math-heavy physics course. Despite half of each exam and all of the labs being purely math, you are left alone to figure out how to complete them. If you care about your GPA, save yourself the trouble and avoid this class.

No lectures which makes the class 10x difficult. Don't try google because you won't be able to find any help. Had to drop the class less than a month in. Labs were pure nonsense that had nothing to do with the textbook. You will only pass with pure luck. This class made me hate space.

She provides 0 lectures so learning the material is all on you. You have to read a chapter, do a 2 hour lab, do a 40 question homework, and a 50 question exam in one week. EXAMS ARE 45% OF YOUR GRADE + 20% CUZ THE FINAL. 65% OF YOUR GRADE IS EXAMS. Dont even bother trying to google your way out she writes her own questions yet takes weeks to grade.

She gives one extra credit assignment. I got a response to two of multiple emails, only after some time. No lectures, her slides were just copied and pasted from the textbook. She had 30+ sections of homework due every 2 days, many technical errors with exams, no feedback on exams, and no review materials for exams 2, 3, and the final. DON'T TAKE!

This professor has a tendency to call out young adults if we are trying their best but i as a person feel teased around this professor and it gets very difficult for people who have problems even though I would not recommend it because they have a tendency to do so and their is so joy and no happiness or any partners so by law they have to help

Just from starting this class a few days ago, I can already tell that this professor is a walking headache. Absurd amount of work due every single day including a 15 page lab report that you have two days (but really one because you have ANOTHER lab report due the day before) to complete. Homework due on test days, no answers for practice problems.

After a certain point with the lab, the instructions just stop making sense and there are multiple mistakes within them. This class is not worth it, you learn nothing and you're on a constant time crunch. The professor is additionally willing to grade you harsh despite offering LITERALLY NO GUIDANCE. She's using labs from 2006 with no corrections.

This is an online accelerated course on the basics of Physics. Heather Appleby has made this course incredibly difficult. Probably more difficult than necessary. Although she did give resources on how to study, she isn't accessible. I emailed her 4 times only for these emails to go unanswered. She grades labs and tests harshly.

How is she a professor??? awful loads of homework DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DONT TAKE HER CLASS

DO NOT TAKE

Honestly the worst professor ever and no boundaries. Treated students less than human and when i asked her questions she just told me to "ask a friend". This teacher is a walking talking migraine and u should avoid her at all costs. i used to love these sorts of classes. she made me hate space.

I've had trouble with this class since the beginning. A lot of my homework and labs weren't graded and so it said I was failing during progress report time. Now I'm disputing my final grade because it seems she only graded my labs and not everything else. I've sent multiple emails with no response all throughout the semester. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS

If you want 14 page labs (not including the random data tables), assignments without lessons, no guidance, and no mercy, this is for you!

cancel her, this is truely unacceptable

This professor doesn't teach, doesn't provide helpful materials, and creates confusing, error-filled questions. She's unapproachable and dismissive when students ask for help. The class feels like we're set up to fail. Honestly, she should not be teaching at all. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

As an old student of hers, I think this professor is undergoing some changes in her life, particularly since 2020/COVID and quarantine. She used to be more understanding. My coin would be to avoid her courses, she needs to have a break from teaching and take time for herself - anonymous

Don't ever bother taking if you get this professor because it's impossible to pass.

This professor is the worst professor I have had while attending at Dallas College. Anything that's not a lab doesn't matter because apparently you needed a 60% completion of the labs to pass the class. I wasted so much time trying to catch up with assignments because she post new assignments every single day and turn it in in 2 days. AVOID

I will never take this professor again, not only did she argue, she hated reading emails and will find a way to turn any email about the work against you.
