She was super easy as long as you read the material. She was always willing to help. This was an easy A. She was a great lady.

Nice professor. Knows and loves physics. She made the class interesting and a lot of fun. I would recommend this professor for this class.

She explained things really good and clearly and was always willing to help. She did seem a bit cold at times but I dont think its anythng worth basing her teaching on. Overall teaching was good. I got a B but Ive never been good in science, hehe.

very helpful, but tuff

VERY EASY, IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL.

Teaches the material as if you were 3 years old but gives tons of tests, homework, and quizzes...she swears as if you don't have a life. She shows favoritism to some students and I don't recommend her

she's really patient, and tries very hard to explain things you don't understand. not too much work, extremely helpful in office hours.

She is not a easy grader, only one A for my semester i guess. I was not a great physics person, but she makes this course fun to learn. She will notice your hardworkship if you work a hella lot. Do your homework is not enough, i spend about 10+ hours per week for this class. Lab is really hard. Test is okay but you really have to study her note

I don't care what all these other people are saying...... Karen has been one of the best teachers i've ever had at Mt. SAC. She truly cares about her students and wants everyone to do well. She is always willing to help you. Plus, she is very prepared and well organized. I've never met a more organized person and prepared than her.

It was a challenging class, and you absolutly have to be there and pay a lot of attention! If you do that though, you will pass with a good grade. She is very organized, grades fairly, and seems to be really "into" what she does. I would recommend this teacher.

great teacher, not a really easy class. you have to be their ever class or you will definentlly fall behind. I'm really glad i took her. if you do be prepaired to some work.(oh my god do schoolwork :) yup

She's a great teacher. She's fair and expects you to actually do the work. You must EARN your grade in this class and I see nothing wrong with that. The rest of these people are probably disgruntled students who did not take the class seriously and got a bad grade as a result.

I didnt think she was interesting, at first. In fact, her jokes were a bit distracting. However, she does know her science. And, as long as u do the homework, u should do alright. Tests are based off the HW assgn. They are not too difficult but still cover pertinent information. I took this class 4 fun & in the end it was worth it. Would Reccomend.

Very well oragnized. Gives extra credit. Her Office hours will make a difference in your grade-in other words, if you have a question do not hesitate. NOTES really reflect tests. Overall its a tough but fun class.

Well, physical science class is not easy, But Mrs.Karen is really helpful and always willing to help you. She's also a very dedicated and organize prof. I actually eneded up loving the class, but you need to work your butt off to get an A.

well organized. quite friendly, no a lot of assignments, understand stuff really well in 4A, but not in 4B. However, she curved the test a lot in 4B, so it made things very easy. ppl think she is picky about labbook, man, just do what she wants, then you'll get a 10. No real hands-on lab in 4B, SAD.

shes a great teacher. dont get me wrong, the class itself is a very hard class but she is an excellent teacher. its a lot of work but with a little studying youll be fine. ask a lot of questions and study and youll be ok. she was VERY organzied and was on top of everything. definately reccommend her!

What are you guys talking about, karen is pretty good, her class is organized and she teaches pretty clear. Def better than Mason.

Mrs. Schnurbusch is a great teacher. Her structure and organization make the class easy. She knows how to tach and all you have to do is meet her half way. Great class i learned a lot.

i love Karen. i am currently taking her 4A class. and it is a great experience. even though it is really hard to get a grade you may want to get. and sometimes the class seems really scary that i don't even want to go. but i learnt not to give up in this class. we have 3 exams, 1 final, and every class quizzes. enjoy!!

lOVED HER! She puts it out there several different ways One has got to hit home with you. Do ALL homework. Do not skip lectures. Do ALL supplemental pack assignments. ALL. take copious notes The material was hard, but she explains beautifully. She is accessible by e-mail, phone, before/after class and keeps office hours. LOVED HER! XLNT

Genuine teacher. Any questions shes there to help you. Im one of those students whos the last to finish a test everytime and she even offered me extra time if needed just to make sure that I did well in her class. There is a lot of homework, but it's not so bad. Tips: Do your homework assignments again to prepare for test. Helps Big!dont give up.

Genuine teacher. Helps and answers any questions you have. She even offered me extra time to finish my exams if needed, because she wanted to make sure that I had enough time to do well. There is enough homework, but she gives all the homework out the first day so you know what to expect. Tips: Do assignments over to prepare for exams. Helps Big!

A good teacher over all. I hate science especially physics but i did pass karens class with a C.I got a c because i did not study for my first 2 test.If you attend everyday take good notes and study for her test you will pass her class.

I took her physics 4A class. lots of quizzes, so 3 or more bad grades won't hurt you much. Tough lab reports, critical grader.They are tough exams, but not that tough, because a good amount of people had A's. She wants us to learn and wants us to get A's and B's. :)She's very NICE once you get to know her. GREAT PROFESSOR. Seriously, no doubt.

awesome teacher who really loves her job. very open to questions, and answers them delightfully

She was one of the most helpful teachers that I have ever had. She was always willing to answer questions and work with you one on one. The homework was really easy, and so were the daily quizes (an easy way to earn points in the class). She tells you exactly what to study for the tests and there are only 4 during the semester.

i got a d in the class. but was tottally my fault. the material in the class is extremly hard, but she is very clear about her lectures, she had quizes evryday, but its an easy way to bring up our garde if you study the material. her test are pretty hard, but its always what we discuss in class. she is extremly helpful! you will never fell embarres

She is very thorough in her lectures, but she sometimes expects you to be able to solve example problems a minute after she just covered it. 4B is a horribly hard class, but if you read the material before class and study, you should be fine. It helps a lot if you know exactly what an integral does.

Overall Karen is a pretty good prof. Sometimes she seems bored/tired with her own lectures though, lol. I think it's just cuz PHSC7 is such an easy class compared to the other classes in the dept. If you take this class with her, you won't have trouble earning the grade you want and you'll have plenty of fun.

Prof. Schnurbusch is the best instructor in the physics department. Her lectures are clear and straight to the point. Her teaching method is student-centered: she encourages self studying. She is also very organized. To succeed in her class, you have to do your part: READ the book, do your homework HONESTLY, and DO practice problems.

She is an awesome professor, especially if you like her inclination to do labs rather than go over homework problems in class.

super helpful and grades tests fairly. however, i thought she grades lab reports too harshly. Great professor and SUPER organized. Best physics professor on campus. STUDY THE QUIZES. and do the example problems she doesn't finish in class... you will see them again. Don't be lazy and take advantage of the fact that her class is extremely structured

take notes from the board and everything she says. EVERYTHING. Fair grader. Sometimes tricky ?'s on exams; read ?'s carefully. Show up on time.

really good teacher. study your notes and you should definetly get an A. took her for summer and she was really helpful and easy. i got an A and science is not my favorite subject especially chemistry and physics. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Her lectures are incredibly short, clear, and cover all the materials in the book.Just copy everything she said and whatever is on the board then u'll be ok but not enough for an A. quizes are like 2x harder than class examples, tests are like 3x harder than quizzes. Labs take majority of the class time and lab reports are tedious as crazy.

One of the absolute best professors I've had so far! Take her class! You will not regret it. There is a lot of material covered and the readings before lecture help a ton. DO them! Quiz almost everyday, but it really does help keep you on top of the material. It is a lot of work, but fun. Very clear lectures notes to help with exams/quizzes.

5exams,1final. Quiz evry class based on lecture but it's easy. HW from txtbook maybe 1 a week or less. Lab evry class worth lots dont miss. She kinda wants you 2 figure them with group she only helps sometimes. Her lectures r short 2 avg time. Clear cut & on point. I give her the HIGHEST props 4 dealing w a VERY difficult student w adhd or somethin

Quiz daily (based on prev lecture). Her lectures are extremely organized and clear (usually an hour per lecture). Exams are not impossible although it does take time to get through. Free donuts for every exam to replenish your brain power. Lab reports aren't hard if you know what you need to do.

Take her class! This class is interesting and easy and I enjoyed the labs!. As long as you study all your notes and wite down what she says you'll pass. also don't forget to study for the daily quizzes every morning.

She grades formal lab reports very strict. But you can ask her to check it before due date. Quizzes every day.

Good professor, quizzes everyday, bring donuts sometimes when its really long lecture, only 4 or 5 exams on lecture and lab, explains everything but if you have question you have to ask her, kind of expects you to understand and learn quickly. class is a bit fast paced. labs are pretty fun, but there is pre-labs to do and lab reports. not an easy A

Prof. Schnurbusch is a my best favorite for this semester. I'm afraid to take physics at the beginning. However, the way pf taught is the way that help us memorize. She doesnt need ppt. she is willing to write a lot on the board, just the same as us. She taught in super organized way that if you follow her pace, you will definitely love PHSICS!

She may come off as a little cold at first but she's actually pretty cool. Quizzes everyday based on the previous days lecture. She grades labs strictly, make sure to be as detailed as possible. She doesn't use power point or anything, she just writes concepts and problems on the board. I got a C in 2A and ended up doing well in this class.

Great physics professor! The only physics class I like so far. Her lectures are awesome and easy to understand. If you get to know her lecture problems well, you'll do fine on quizzes and tests. There are no surprise problems. Winter session was very fast paced but quite manageable. Labs are interesting but pay attention on small details.

Great Professor. Always available to check lab reports before due date or for any questions. (no excuses for not getting a good grade on them ). Understand concepts, don't memorize steps in problems and you will do great!

Her lectures are great and her quizzes are based on the examples she gives during class. Her exams are pretty hard and she does make you work hard for the lab reports, but I'd still recommend her. She's always willing to help, you just gotta ask.

I loved Karen's class. It was a difficult course but overall a great experience. Make sure to study her lecture notes because the quizzes will be based on them, read the exam questions carefully. She's a tough grader when it comes to her labs but you can ask her to check it before its dues and she'll tell you whats missing.

She is really strict at grading labs/lab reports, but her syllabus outlines a clear grading criteria for them. Her lectures are very good but really fast-paced. Make sure you do the in-class problems as practice to prepare for her tests. She also gives quizzes everyday, which are good to review before tests too.

She is your best bet in the department for 4B. It's a hard class with difficult concepts and the advantage here is that she is EXTREMELY CLEAR about what you will be tested on. The hard part is getting the material down. But she actually cares if you pass and appreciates if you're respectful of her & her rules. PS Final is hard so nail the midterms

Karen is truly amazing. She gives good lectures. Do her example problems in class. Study those for the daily quiz. And use the quizzes to study for exams. Very accessibility out of class and is really willing to work with her students. I sent her over 15 emails one day & she responded to each one. Form a good study group will help a ton.

Class is HARD. 4B is super tough. She is the best professor to teach the class though. Extremely accessible outside of class and always willing to help if you show her you care. Everyone says shes bad, shes really not its just the material is hard to grasp but she teaches it very well. Im very grateful for her.

Most organized professor I've had, every week is clearly labeled with that days lecture, lab activity, and example problems for both. Its hard to not know what is due. Tests are difficult as expected, however prior to test multi-concept practice problems are provided which are almost exactly like the test. WORK HARD, or you wont pass. REDO EXAMPLES

She's very clear & organized in her modules about work, quizzes, and the test. Don't be afraid to ask for help, she cares and she's very helpful! Quizzes every time you go to class, tests are super lonnnng and pretty hard. Zoom is optional but helped out SO much. Labs are so tedious bc she grades really hard. Make friends and work together! No EC

Professor Schnurbusch is probably your best bet for any physics course at MtSAC. Took her online and her lectures are very clear. If you understand the lecture and study, you'll most likely be able to do the exams. She knows what she's talking about and she's very organized. Her final was really hard though so be prepared for that.

She is a great professor. she teaches you important concepts . focus on her lectures and understand how to do multiconcept problems like a problem with energy, inertia, and momentum.. all in one. overall, if you can show you understand the route to the answer then a math error wont hurt you but if you show you clearly dont understand it will cost u

She's a great physics professor. Like all other physic professors, she has long exams and gives tons of labs. But she's not terrible with partial credit on her tests. Exams do NOT reflect quizzes in difficulty; make sure you understand the material. My advice to anyone is to just be prepared to spend a 1-2 hours practicing physics every other day.

Very organized setup by this professor. For every meeting you can see what will be covered on that day, so you know what to expect. Gives great feedback on every assignment. This class is very organized and if you understand and learn the concepts (projectile motion, forces, moment of inertia, center of mass, etc..), you will do good in the course.

This is a tough class but she made it very straight forward. She's also always willing to answer questions on quizzes, hw, or labs. If she fits your schedule, please take her. The level of rigor and expectations she places on you will prepare you for future engineering or stem related courses. An A is not impossible :) I did it so you can too

A really good choice for 4A. Probably one of the best physics prof you that you can bet on. Exams are expected to be difficult but its Mt sac so that is considering that. I would advice you to take her as she is probably a lifesaver to your GPA.

She is decent, in the fact that she wants you to succeed well. Physics is not an easy subject really but her guidelines is made very clear on everything that she expects. Probably a solid choice for 4A and hoping to take her 4B.

I took her class in the past and she was amazing. My friend took a different 4B class and he struggled while I found karen to be extremely manageable. Exams and quizzes reflect what we learnt in class and the class practices are really helpful to consolidate your learning. Best professor for physics in mt sac.

Karen is a very respectable professor that actually understands the material given. Unlike my physics classes I took in high school, I can see that she can explain material very thoroughly. She's the best choice for physics because of how she wants you to learn and succeed. This class is not easy tho.. :)

Karen's 4B class is difficult. There are quizzes almost every class, and the tests are challenging, however, I feel like I've learned way more than I would have had I taken an easier class.

PHY4B was my most challenging class, but Professor Schnurbusch made it manageable. The topics were exceptionally difficult, yet leveraging her resources enabled me to pass. This class pushed me to the point where my other classes becomes easy.

The most organized and respectful physics professor on campus. The way she teaches is direct, clear, and admirable unlike many teachers who try too hard or too little to get their point across. I will admit the workload is a little much right now but I can already tell that this is a teacher I want to take again for 4B. Good luck.

Picky grader but gives good reasons for what she does. Open for questions.

If you really want to understand Physics, I recommend you take this professor, since her teaching style is clear. Lots of practice problems in class after lecture. Problem solving is fun when you have passion for it. Otherwise it gets hard. Tests are hard in general but straightforward so make sure you study hard for it.

AMAZING class! Loved having her as my professor, and 100% wish I could take her for more classes in the future. Schnurbusch is very organized, and you'll know exactly what your homework load is for the semester basically from day one. Trust her process and WATCH THE LECTURE VIDEOS. Exams never had any surprises on them, just covering the lectures.

Hardest class I've ever taken, 100% would take it with her again. She wants you to succeed, and will set you up to do just that if you trust her system. Watch the lecture videos, do the practice problems, do the homework, and review for the exams. Follow that framework and you'll get an A. Genuinely one of the best professors out there.

You will not regret taking her for Physics. I had her for 4B and 4C, and the amount I learned of both was UNREAL. She cares so much about your understanding of the subject, and will field COUNTLESS questions before, after, and during class. Watch the lecture videos and review the material semi-regularly and you'll do amazingly.

Professor Schnurbusch is very passionate about physics and teaching to her students. She provides a great sum of example problems, labs, homework, quizzes, and exam preparatory material in the form of a worksheet. In my experience, this class is very time and mentally consuming, so prepare to give it your 110% if physics isn't your own passion. GL.

Prof S. is very organized and fair. The course schedule is consistent, and she never throws something unexpected at us. Answers to quizzes, CW, and an example problem for each lecture are provided as resources to study. This is a flipped class, so you watch lecture at home. Her lectures are clear and organized and she grades exams fairly.

She explains difficult concepts very clearly and spends time a good portion of classes teaching you how to solve problems that will look very similar to quizzes, which are every class, and test. Physics is hard and will be time consuming no matter who you choose, but Karen will do everything she can to help you succeed.

Professor Schnurbusch is an incredible professor. She will go over the material until it is almost engraved in your mind. As long as you do the homework, watch the lectures, and do the practice problems during class, it will go smoothly. I also highly suggest to go to the SI sessions. Beware however, she is a very tough grader but gives partial cre

Physics, regardless of who you take, will be very demanding. However, with Professor Schnurbusch, she sets up the class in a way where you have repeated exposure to the material, and by the test, you should be fairly well off. Quizzes are almost every class, but overall don't impact your grade too much and should be viewed as a learning experience.

Gives a pop quiz every class but they're quite easy if you look at her lecture notes. She starts every class with example problems and if you can do those without help, the exams are very straightforward. She truly wants her students to succeed and her teaching reflects that. Only annoying thing is her formal lab reports. Best physics prof at Mtsac

One of the best physics professors at Mt. SAC you will ever have. If you have the opportunity to take her, I would do so, as she cares deeply about teaching you the material in physics. Lectures are online-formatted, and she does a 5-minute recap in class. Quizzes are also given in every class. Overall, one of my favorite physics professors.

Best 4A prof at mtsac.U watch lect before coming to class, do short quiz, prac prob, then lab. Cool thing for me was: prac prob/hw look like quizzes/exams.She is very nice, don't hesitate to ask questions,she provides very good explanations. She puts a lot of emphasis on labs/lab reports, so make sure u understand the material and ur data is good

Take her class. She is by far the best physics professor. Physics is just hard and she gives you a lot of work. As long as you study the given material you should be fine. Take her!

She was one of my favorite professors. She assigns a lot of homework and there is a quiz every day, but they prepare you and help you understand the material. If you want to learn, she is the best.

Great professor for 4B, you'll definitely learn a lot. There's a lot of work to her class from homework to the labs, but if you stay on top of them you'll be fine.

I went into 4A thinking I would be scraping for a C in the class. However professor S. is one of the best professor's I've ever had. She really does care, and is willing to work with students to push back due dates or improve grades. She teaches concepts well and answers all questions answers them well. A great professor and made physics enjoyable!

Prof. Schnurbusch is a great professor. She puts a lot of effort into organizing the class. The class is structured well, with lecture videos, homework, and quizzes for each lesson. It prepares you for the exam and ensures you know the material. Great professor! I wish I had her for Physics 2AG.
