She's a good teacher who teaches this course at night. If you have to take Phys 100, take it at night from her. No homework and papers! The tests are little difficult but manageable. Highly recommended!

She was great, Night class is the way to go. No homework, no papers, Extra credit, it was too simple.

Great teacher - the way to go! Night classes are by far the way to go. Ireland keeps the course manageable and clear. Otherwise Physical Science really does suck, however the night class is great.

Ok, can I just say that she is HOT! Good thing she can't read my thoughts. ;-)

Good teacher. The comments about her looks are true.

she is extremely smart and a very good teacher

I hate the subject matter, but taking it from her ist he way to go. Her lectures weren't boring, which is a must for the 3 hour night class, and I recommend taking it this way if you don't like the idea of having to attend a lecture or a lab 4 times a week.

She's smart, entertaining, and a very kind and genuine person. I'll admit it was really hard to sit through 3 hour night lectures through material that I find absolutely boring, but she made it somewhat more bareable. Our class was the pilot for the new book though, so I can't say how it stacked up comparatively.

way nice lady, but not the easiest class on the planet. go to the labs!!! those TA's know what they're doing. Highly recommend taking this class from her, but you got to stay on top of the work. study your butt off for the tests.

It's not her fault the class is tough, the department mandates what has to be taught, and they write the tests. That said Prof. Ireland is the way to go. She explains things well and lets you know what you need to know. Make sure you do all the homework and get to know the TA's since they grade it all and they can be very objective.

Good teacher, didn't confuse us like some of the substitute teachers did.

I was really apprehensive about this course at first. I was actually dreading it to tell you the truth. I ended up loving it because of Pro. Ireland. I of all of my classes I would fail this one and I ended up pulling an A because I went to lecture, read the text, used her review sheets, and went to the TA's for help. Great Class!

I took the online class. It was really hard but there is lots of support materials.At Prof. Ireland's suggestion I used the TA lab by calling them long distance. It really helped. The teacher couldn't really explain anything because she is afraid of revealing something that is on the test and of course this class is taken by 100s of students/year.

I took this class on-line. She responded quickly to my e-mails and was very courteous. I felt the tests and assignments were reasonable and fair - she really wanted me to learn the basics and wasn't tricky. I got additional help from a website she suggested. I did like the class.

I did horrible on the first test and thought that I had done well. She was willing to meet with me and asked me some questions and I answered them correctly. She helped me see (and solve) a life-long issue I had with multiple choice test. She cares and really helps students that take ownership and are wanting to learn. I still use what learned.

Good teacher, fun lectures. The other professors and TA's were good in helping me with homework, tests, and grades. Difficult questions on the tests though, they were not written by an english major. But other than that is a good class.

Small class at the Salt Lake Center. She was always willing to listen to me and help me out if I ever had any questions. She is easy going and kind. I'd take it again from her.

Very good lady, helpful and understanding. I recommend the class

Professor Ireland has some occasionally fun demonstrations in lectures and she is always willing to answer any questions and she wants class participation. No assignments other than reading the book to help on the test. She's very kind but some test questions seemed tricky, especially since I am not very good at understanding science.

Great teacher, super helpful, she is willing to talk on the phone with you and is very good at answering emails. Tests weren't cake but her grading is fair.

Very nice and willing to spend time with each student to explain difficult concepts. This sometimes took the lecture on a tangent, but was interesting.

Prof. Ireland was helpful and prompt to answer any question I had, as well as directed me to online TA review videos. The review assignments before tests helped to know how to focus studying for the tests. Overall I learned a lot in her class.

Sister Ireland is good. If you put in the work, she meets you halfway. She lets you do test corrections which helped me learn a lot. Her lectures have seemed to get more interesting as the semester goes on.

Take this class from Dr. Ireland! It is well worth the trip up to Salt Lake once a week (the front runner is free!). Its physics 106 and isnt a cake walk, but it is 1,000,000X easier with Dr. Ireland than any of the professors on campus. I put in about 3 hours a week of homework and study and am sitting at a solid A going into the final.

Solid class. Decent lectures. Tough concepts, but those will be there for any professor. Very reasonable grader. Option to get points back on some exams. 2 hw assignments each week. 7 midterms, but 4 were in class.

Dr. Ireland knows her stuff and is more than willing to help you succeed. Teaches in a way that makes difficult topics easy to understand.

Not super heavy on the homework but the tests can be a little harder than the homework. She offers test corrections (receive 1/3 points back). Would definitely suggest taking physics from Laralee.

Professor Ireland teaches very clearly and will answer any question you have. Essentially, if you read the textbook then you'll understand all the concepts. Tests were normally open book/open note, but often expanded ideas beyond what was discussed in class, so make sure you fully understand the concepts and applications. This was a blended class.

Dr. Ireland is a great professor. She is a very fair and understanding person! The classwork is a lot of textbook reading and there are a lot of exams.

Wow, this class was TOUGH. Sister Ireland is a great Professor but this class was a killer. Trying to learn physics online is quite difficult. There are weekly homework assignments that take 2-3 hours and there were 7 exams + a final. Be ready to pay attention and study super hard if you want to do well. The average for the class was a C+.

Great class & format for during a pandemic. I got most out of the lectures when I went, but still learned a lot from reading the textbook.

This course has wack concepts. There were 4 exams (all open note, book, and internet), but we have 4 finals (still open everything). You have classic readings and little assignments to do with the readings and classwork, it is pretty manageable. Professor is pretty good at explaining concepts and helping students. Good teacher for this class.

Great professor who explains things easily and is available outside class. Not a hard class or a hard grader. I'm not a stem major but her class was easy to follow and understand. Would take from her again.

I loved Sister Ireland's class. She explains things really well and my TA was so helpful. It may have been because it was online, but all the tests were open note, book, and internet. There's not a lot of homework, and the homework assignments weren't super hard, since she goes over them with you. I would definitely try to take this class from her!

Dr. Ireland was a good professor honestly! However the class was very test heavy which made it exceedingly difficult to receive a high grade. The tests averaged 60-75. The TA's were ABSENT and impossible to receive help from. If you are going to take it, I would just warn you that the tests will contain information meant to trick you.

Professor Ireland is one of my favorite professors that I have had thus far. She was very fair when grading assignments and exams. She gave specific and positive feedback on the concepts that I needed to work on, which I greatly appreciated.

Science is not my fav so I didn't love this class. Dr. Ireland is very entertaining though and is good at explaining the content. Tests are 32 questions so it hurts to miss just a few questions. Overall, it is pretty manageable if you do the readings and take notes in class.

All around a very solid choice. You can't go wrong by choosing this Professor. She completely understands that most people don't give a lick about science and just need the credit so the class is built that way. The reviews are very helpful and I appreciated the nods to religion throughout the course.

Loved her! Her lectures are clear and concise. She gets to the point and helps you understand the material you need for exams. She really cares about her students, and makes learning interesting. For this class you will READ. You need to make an effort to pass. The material can be difficult but she's always there to help out. Totally recommend.

She really cares about the material and her students. Gave class time for HW and had really fun lectures. Get ready to blow some things up in class! No essays, and you got a page of notes for every test. But the tests are hard. You need to study and read the textbook! Understand main ideas and you'll pass her class.

Professor Ireland explained each topic simply and clearly. As a student who struggles with science, this class was very manageable to get an A. There are 4 tests and a final, but you can bring a page of notes for each one. If you understand the review slides, you'll be fine. You only need a 90 to get an A.

Outside work is fairly chill. As long as keep up, it's a good class. 90% is an A. Easy. Ireland explains things well. Cool experiments in class. Having a good TA really matters, so if you don't get a good one, find one. Lots of little assignments, labs, essays, etc. Good general. Learned a lot, but builds on high school knowledge quite a bit.

Professor Ireland does a really good job at explaining confusing concepts! We learned some interesting things in this class. You don't have to do the readings to do well. There are two assignments due each class, but you get multiple attempts. You get a note sheet on each exam. Overall, a pretty easy A and an enjoyable class!

Dr. Ireland really does her best to help her students learn. She's good at reading the room and slowing topics down when needed. Physics will always be hard no matter what, but Dr. Ireland is your best bet. & super accessible outside of class. 50/50 for math and conceptual understanding, so make sure you understand both.

I really enjoyed taking this class from her, I always found the lectures to be interesting and she teaches in a way I could understand. Cool demonstrations. The tests were a breeze if you went to class and read. (the textbook is actually really well written and not boring)

Professor Ireland's class is good for what it is. Nobody in the class is particularly interested in the physical sciences, and this class is catered towards that. Assignments are easy enough, and the tests aren't bad if you allow yourself to make a good enough study guide for it. Go to class and the TA labs/reviews, and you will be fine.

great professor, great lectures, you can tell she cares about you but also knows her stuff super well. 10/10

4 exams and a final, one page of notes front and back for all of them. Lessons and classwork are due every day you have class. I bought the textbook and never used it. My TA was amazing. This class was a lot of work, it wasn't easy but it wasn't necessarily hard. The tests were okay, some of the questions were easy some were hard.

The class is EXTREMELY organized and structured so that anyone can get an A or A-. Lectures were very to the point and questions were always answered. The classroom is "flipped", meaning you learn the material before each class and review it in lecture, it is usually around 12 pages of easy reading. TA's are not very helpful, don't rely on them.

I absolutely loved this class! Professor Ireland was super fun and interactive. I've never liked or understood science material, but when reviewing for the final, I found that I still remembered details from the very first units. This class is so well organized that it is easy to understand and remember the content. The TAs were very helpful too.

Dr. Ireland is a really good professor. If you do the lessons before class, pay attention in class, and go to lab you can pretty easily get an A. The tests weren't hard if you studied and did the practice tests. She is always willing to answer questions and explains things really well. All practice questions are very similar to test questions.

She is an amazing person and teacher. She tries her best to make sure that everyone understands the material and goes out of her way to answer questions in class. Class is usually a recap of the lesson the night before, and she will go over the commonly missed questions. Tests weren't too bad for me as long as you understood the concepts.

The class is structured by someone else. Professor Ireland is nice. Dr lawler who is in charge does nothing and obnoxious to students. Sometimes it come down to be rude. Ireland is a sweet lady balance out the disorganized course. Love it

I'm not really into science, just took Physical Science for a general ed. Dr. Ireland understands that, so she focuses on what you need to know for the tests instead of diving into the topics deeply. The workload in this class in not too heavy. There are 5 exams which are a little difficult but not too bad.

Professor Ireland is not only one of the most sincere professors, but she does everything she can to help you succeed. TAs are super helpful and do lots of reviews. As long as you pay attention in class, at least skim the readings, and go to the reviews you'll do fine. Actually such an easy class!

Honestly shes fine. Youll mostly deal with TAs. The class is kind of fun and kind of sucks at the same time. Tests are riduculously hard. Go to the TA reviews and youll be fine.

I thought this class was so hard. Great professor, always willing to help and answer questions, but I hate physics. Maybe I'm not a physics person I guess. But it's so test heavy and the tests are really hard, I failed all of them that weren't in class. Textbook was helpful.

If you are lazy, do not take this class from her. She makes you work for an A. If you want an easy grade, then take from someone else. The tests are insanely difficult. Go to the TA labs every single day and you'll be fine.

I took 105 from Francis and failed and retook from Ireland and got an A-. Most the people that struggle in this class is because of the algebra. Ireland teaches the concepts very clearly. It is a hard class but it is relatively simple once you figure it out. Tests are not written well IMO, but overall it is doable. I liked her more.

Professor Ireland did a great job in her lectures, I always thought they were entertaining and informative. It's easy to get an A in the class if you do the assignments. She gives lots of opportunities to try questions again on the quizzes and the in-class questions. The hardest part was keeping up with the frequency of the exams

This was an incredibly difficult class for me, but Professor Ireland was so supportive and helpful. I would have preferred more explanation in lectures (normally we just did practice problems) but she was very present and willing to help. Go to office hours, get to know her, and you'll do fine.

Prof Ireland is great at teaching and she's happy to answer questions. I didn't go to class after the first few weeks, but did the pre-class work and went to THE TA REVIEW before the exam. You're allowed one paper of notes for every exam, and it's helpful to just write down what they go over. Overall, easy general credit and the professor is good.

Dr. Ireland is a great Professor! The class is well formatted and if you put in the work you'll do well. T.A Labs, class and Exam reviews especially, are a must to do well in class. Everyone is very willing to help you succeed in this class if you take the first step

She was super awesome for physical science! There are quite a few midterms, but that that's up to the course makers. She does a good job of helping students know what is going on and what is expected of them. She trys to make the class involving and fun.

Great class to take first semester. Definitely is a wake up call from high school but this is a perfect class to introduce you to the workload of college. If you do the lessons and pay attention in class you will do well.

I loved this class, and I did very well in it, even though I am a business major. The TAs are super helpful, Professor Ireland is available outside class, and the class isn't that difficult overall. The tests aren't bad; you get a sheet of notes on every test, and it's all multiple choice. Overall, a good time, just do the work and go to class.

Professor Ireland is a really good instructor. She teaches difficult concepts easily and gives lots of support. She makes sure that every question in the class is answered by her or the TAs. There is a lot of work but as long as you don't procrastinate, you're all good.

Dr. Ireland was a great professor for PS100. Her lectures were engaging and she broke concepts down very well. She was accessible outside class and always willing to answer any questions in class. The exams weren't too hard and we got to take a page of notes into the testing center.

This class might be lecture heavy there's a lot of fun learning and demos she does. You'll enjoy learning about a lot of the content, it's fascinating.

Ireland is a great professor! Just do all the homework, ask questions, and make a notes sheet for the test. She explains things well.

She was a great teacher and did a great job at helping us understand difficult topics.

She was great

Awesome professor, she explained all the topics well. Has fun demonstrations for a lot of the classes. Decent amount of homework but it's pretty manageable. Tests aren't too bad and she prepares you well. Overall had a great experience.

Good professor. Her lectures are helpful as long as you pay attention during them. Lots of homework as you are required to complete the work outside of class and then go over it during class but overall not too bad.

Sister Ireland is INCREDIBLE. You will have to put work in to understand, but that's because of the course material. I love the way she structures the class because you learn about the topic before coming to class, and then she bases the lectures off the things we struggled with in the online lesson. She is SO LOVING, SO SMART, AND SO INSPIRING.

I enjoyed the class cause I felt like I could go at my own pace. Homework and classwork was never crazy long. I never really used the textbook, just used the homework questions to learn the basics. TA reviews were super helpful.

This class is really easy if you have a good background in science already. I took physics and chemistry in high school. You can tell Professor Ireland has a deep understanding of physics and she is very good at teaching this class. She geniunely cares about all her students. This was one of my favorite classes this semester.

The class is fairly easy; there's just a lot of busy work. It can get deep into very technical details, but the tests are mostly based on remembering concepts rather than solving problems.

I loved Sister Ireland! She is a very caring and kind professor. She lets you know clearly what she is looking for, and genuinely wants you to succeed. However, the class itself does require a lot of effort. If you are willing to do all of the classwork, readings, and study for each of the 4 midterms you will do well. (go to ta reviews, SO HELPFUL)

Professor Ireland is the sweetest! She truly cares about her students. Everything is clearly laid out and if you just do all the work when you're supposed to on time, you will thrive in this class. If you dislike science as much as I do, I would recommend going to her office hours and the PHYS 100 TA lab--they are so helpful!

You have to read the textbook chapter and submit a quiz before each class period. But they really aren't that hard. Reviews before each midterm/final, and the questions are straight out of the reviews.

great teacher
