I get other comments here. But Pooja was very helpful. I dont think she was rude. First sem of teaching. Very helpful. Somewhat difficult to understand. Is better than other physics profs I had

This class is not hard. She has an accent but if you try to pay attention it is easy to understand her. Despite what people are saying she is very nice. People are rude to her by talking all class. Go to her office hours and she will help. If you think this class is hard its because physics is hard/you are dumb not because Pooja is a bad prof.

Dr. Puneet teaches with a lot of passion. Her accent is hard to understand sometimes. There is a lot of noise and disturbance in the class. Her prelectures are good but more work. Overall, Dr Puneet is very kind and understanding. She is available all the time for help.

Dr. Puneet is a very educated professor. She is very sweet and passionate about her work and the information in her courses. Her only downside is that she has trouble controlling the classroom, but if you show up and show her respect her lectures are good. Tests are easy and very clear, and she curves often.

Dr Puneet is a nice prof. But this class is too noisy because of 200 students and most of them with no respect for their fellow students or the prof despite Dr Puneet's constant warnings and requests to maintain decorum. I could have learned better in class but I felt I couldn't really grasp coz of distraction. Dr Puneet works one on one to help

I really like Dr. Puneet. She's definitely much better than my AP Physics 1 teacher in high school. She tries to go through the material thoroughly. Although, she does rush when she's about to run out time. The exams are fairly easy. She's very prepared and will give you old practice exams to help you study.

Great professor. Yeah, physics is hard and this is COLLEGE. You're going to have to do work outside of class, but you have resources to help you. Sit in the front, pay attention, do your part, and you'll get the grade. Always willing to help her students and she really does want you to do well. Daily quizzes but they're not hard. Take her class.

She is not that bad. If you can learn the material and do the examples and practice problems then you should get an A. Just make sure to practice and study.

This is my second year taking Dr. Puneet and she's great. I feel that since it's an intro to Physics class (I and II), students relate their grades to her, but she is always more than helpful. Since the first day of class, she tells students that she is always looking for feedback about herself and it's apparent that she is active in improving.

I had both Dr. Pope and Dr. Puneet for physics. I think Dr. Puneet is better because she gets right to the point and doesn't dance around the information (like Dr. Pope). She is very good at answering questions. The only thing people complain about is how quickly she talks, but it's not even that bad. She is ready to help whenever needed.

Gives a lot of extra points back on tests but they're still difficult. You'll also have clicker questions every class that are hard and you don't have much time to figure out the answer. Def wouldve taken Pope if I could have.

Dr. Puneet is extremely understanding and caring. Her lectures can be pretty heavy, but you'll be okay if you zone out every once in a while because she gives you everything you need to succeed. I recommend going to her review sessions and doing all of the practice questions before exams. Attendance is graded.

I honestly don't understand the low ratings here. She was a pretty nice professor and I didn't think the class was that challenging. There are definitely too many weekly assignments, which was annoying, but none were super difficult & they provide a lot of cushion. Re-working the ExpertTA problems helped me get A's on most of the exams.

I took Dr. Puneet's General Phys 1&2 classes. She talks fast, but provides recordings of every lecture to rewatch. She is very responsive over email and goes out of her way to answer questions. She is very knowledgeable and helpful when you need it. Her exams are fair and she doesn't try to trick you. Offers a ton of resources and is there to help!

I think a lot of these bad reviews are simply because the class and its contents are super hard. As a professor she is amazing and so caring! She goes into depth during lectures and is so kind with questions.

Had to take this for a natural science. Math is involved, so understanding equations was not that hard if you understood the math. Tests were really straightforward and you were given all of the equations. Homework every week and something due every class, but really not that bad. In class quizzes every class, but they really help you with material

I don't understand why she has so many bad reviews- this is a tough course, of course the tests are hard. There's an abundance of resources to succeed. She is understanding and gives extra credit too. If you put the work into this class you will do well. and her accent is completely understandable so ignore everyone saying that its a problem.

I think a lot of people give Dr. Puneet a bad rep because the material she teaches is inherently difficult. I will say that the top hat participation questions in class make up more of the grade than I think the should, but other than that if you attend lectures and pay attention the class is mostly a breeze with the exception of the hw.

Teaching: Goes through plenty of examples, iClicker questions will improve understanding. Would be better to not derive equations and do more examples. Professor: Easy to talk to and will take time to ensure that you understand the material. I HIGHLY recommend paying attention to the lectures as studying for the exams will be way easier that way.

This is for PHYS2230 (Physics 2 lab). Teaching: Depends on the TA, the manual is BAD, DO NOT BUY IT, it has NO instructions and the post-lab questions will be on canvas, it was a WASTE of money. The TA will explain what to do, I suggest writing it down as he will have to go table to table. Lab reports are completed during lab time. Easy lab.

She is a very dedicated and caring teacher. Honestly, I am appalled by some of the reviews here. These fail to mention one of the most important things she teaches a 200+ student section. So, this is really a problem with the university rather than her teaching style. She is always available outside the classroom. Very caring and kind IMO.

I don't understand why her ratings are so low because she genuinely helped me learn so much. It's a hard class, regardless of the professor. She lowkey gives you the answers to the TopHat questions and they're usually pretty simple. After each question she discusses them to give you a better foundation of basic concepts, which helped me a lot.

if you plan on taking this class in the summer, make sure you have time for it! had homework everyday from main + lab section but Dr. Puneet was accessible outside of class and very accommodating. I had to teach myself a lot of the material, but the videos can be a great reference as well. would recommend this class, just plan accordingly!

Dr Puneet doesn't deserve the ratings she has. Physics 2210 is a hard class, but she teaches it well. Her lectures and demonstrations are actually pretty interesting if you pay attention and participate in class. The homework's suck per usual, but do them and take practice exams and you'll do well.

I enjoyed this class SO MUCH more than PHYS2070! Dr. Puneet WANTS to see her students succeed and is very accessible outside class. She is a very dedicated, kind, and caring. Her tests are incredibly fair along with her class. I watched the videos from Pope to supplement my learning and redid all questions from class & passed with flying colors.

She explains the topic very well, especially if you reach out to her with specific questions outside of class. Some examples and homework problems weren't helpful relating to the test because the homework requires a calculator while the test doesn't. In class, real-life examples are used, which help comprehension, but more examples would be better.

Goes over a lot of content quickly, very kind and tries to make sure everyone understands. Tests are reasonable but there is a lot of homework (i spent like 4-7 hours every week on just this class) Lots of resources available though. Getting through the class trying to understand the material + the HW was really hard, making exams relatively easy.
