Professor Jain is a very nice woman but she is by no means the best professor. I did learn quite a bit in her class but the way she teaches the subject can get confusing and oftentimes I didn't know what was being taught. Her tests are simple but they're short so it's easy to get a bad grade on it if you don't know all the material.

Physics is a tough subject, but I really liked Professor Jain a lot. She was down to earth and very willing to help her students. (She was in the tutoring center twice a week all semester long). She assigned a bunch of homework questions so that everyone practiced the material. Tests weren't bad at all. Highly recommend her!

She's very helpful and will def take her time to teach the material. She is not easy at all however. You have to make sure you do the homework and practice it nonstop. She gives one extra credit problem on tests, but no partial credit on any of the test problems so either you have it right or it's wrong. She doesn't curve.

I took her for Physics 2 Lab. She is very caring, allowed us to fix our labs for full credit.

what's the point of review sheet for the exam if the exam is nothing like review sheet? that's one major thing I do not like about her class. she is excellent lecturer but very difficult. I would never take her again tho. I had no other choice but to take her. even her lab is not easy. Professor Mohit for physics far more easier than her.

She is a brilliant professor when it comes to teaching but when it comes to exams, she is unpredictable and difficult. So I would never take her again. I'm taking her lab as well. her Lab is also difficult. go for easier professors.

If you want good grades, you must write a lot of notes. write down the problems she does in class, write down the problems from cengage. do all the problems from review sheet. you can use them during the exam. all her exam is open notes. she is just difficult but as long as you got those notes, you are fine. but she made this a very hard class.

Take a lot of notes each class. because all her exams are open note. if you want print out the problems from cengage and use that as a note, you can. Also she does problems (not similar to cengage) during the class, take them as notes as well. she provides formula sheet. It's a difficult class because if you don't have notes, you will be lost.

she literally gives you every advantage possible for you to do good in the exam. but you MUST pay attention every class. her class is not easy. if you don't want to stress out, take someone else. and YEA, take all the notes .

I will not take her again but She is very caring and intelligent. she cares about YOUR grade. she extends time for exam or Hw assignments if needed. reason I won't take her because too much work and anxiety. if you want good grade on your exam, take notes because she let you use them in the exam. exam similar to in class problems & cengage problems

Professor Jain is very generous with extra credit. She is approachable & wants you to succeed. There is nothing easy about physics, but she explains everything thoroughly and will go over as many times as you need. Understand concepts & youll do well in her class, & to understand you must practice. Yes its a lot of hw but it's necessary.

I got an A but in the beginning I had C. I had to work hard to end up with A. If you want to pass her class with A, you must write a lot of notes (problems from web assign and problems that she does during the class). write them down. I know its a lot but it will help you entirely during the exam, Because all her exam and quizzes are open notes.

you have to bring your A game in this class. so that means you have write notes and participate every class. if you're lazy in her class, you most likely have to drop out. she is hard and expects the same from you. so write notes and online hws. she let you use your notes in the exam which is HUGE plus. online hws are similar to exam.

If you want to learn physics and pass make sure you take prof. Jain. If you write notes and do your homework you can easily pass quizzes and exams. She is also willing to help you during office hours if you don't understand the material.

Her class is solely based on the notes and homework assignments from cengage. she also shows different problems during the class.. you need to study them because exam is exactly similar to cengage and problems that she shows during the class. not the easiest class. but she lets you use the notes during the exam. she is very smart and helpful.

Professor Jain is simply amazing but not easy... She is a tough grader that's true, but she will give you tons of good feedback to do well in her class. The lab was a lot of fun althought the lab reports need to be flawless or you will be taken credits away. Overall, take her if you are interested in learning.

Active participation and thorough note-taking are non-negotiable. Laziness isn't an option, failure to engage may lead to dropping out. she sets high standards, mirroring the expectation for students. Doing online homework diligently is vital; it closely resembles exam content. A significant advantage is the allowance of note usage during exams.

This class is not easy at all. however the concept is simple, (Do the hws = pass exam). Cause exact same questions from cengage. however, there's a lots of questions. You have to write a lots of note (during the class and from cengage hws). I personally won't take her because of too much work. But overall, not the worst professor.

Professor Jain is amazing! She will make sure to push and motivate you to do your best. Very accessible in her office hours. Although she does assign a lot of homework, the exams were similar to the homework. Prof Jain is very caring and often gives student's second chances. Overall a great professor for both lab and lecture.

She was hands down the most caring professor I've ever had. She cares about individual students and their grades. It's pretty difficult to fail her class, because of the amount of chances she gives people to get their grades up. Just show up, try your best and if she sees that, she will help you out as much as she can.

She's a great professor for lab! She makes it pretty hard to fail, 85% lab reports and 15% final. The lab reports are long and annoying at times but she's always available during office hours for help! She'll let you revise them for a higher grade too. I'm not good at physics but I'm glad I took this lab with her.

She is super sweet and cares about her students! I only have her for physics 1 lab so I can only speak about that. Her labs are straight forward but she can be a strict grader. She drops the worst lab grade and the final is open notes. Personally, I'm not a fan of physics but she makes lab bearable.
