She is willing to help and willing to answer questions, if you really pay attention and read before coming to class you will do fine, a good physics teacher is hard to find but she wasn't all that bad. She is very enthusiastic about the subject

She is helpfull with a lot of workload to make an A. She also does final curve at the and of the semester because I thought I just got an A- but I ended up with an A

Had no interest in Physics until I took her class. Turns out it was my previous professor that "turned me off" of physics. Tests are not easy but not hard and there is partial credit. You do have to have a clicker for in class lectures. She does demos too and I found them helpful for remembering somethings but some are pointless.

Dr. Forrest is a really good teacher, she does sound rude at times, but thats only to students who ask dumb questions, she really is helpful if you show her that your trying. Study & work hard and you'll get an A

This teacher is actually really easy. Tells you exactly what you need to know on her summary sheets so you do not have to read every single part of the chapters.Gives a formula sheet for the tests. Just make yourself do the more difficult problems, memorize the problems from her reviews, read the book, and the tests will seem almost too easy.

She was actually able teach and not just read the book to me and her tests were very reasonable. She covered everything and her reviews gave you a clear idea of what questions would be on the test. People should probably have reasonable math skills before taking any physics classes and before rating any physics professor

She is very good at explaining the concepts and I actually understand physics better now, Test is written by several prof. If you work on the chapter problems you will get good grades. Physics requires resonable algebra skills, I wouldn't blame the prof can't teach because my math is not up to date.

Every lecture was clear and concise as well as interactive. There was never any surprises on any of the exams as long as you did the homework. She never turned away a student in need of help or ever lost her temper. She made the subject fun and interesting and i would definitely take her again. She gave lots of extra credit and curves generously

She really tries to make physics interesting. Tests are very hard. Class average for the first test was a 52. Make sure you understand everything on a conceptual basis. This class will require a lot of time and work to do well. She replaces the lowest test grade with the Final. To my knowledge, she curves at the end.

If you read the chapters and do the homework, you'll get the grade you deserve. I rated her as hot, not because I found her physically attractive, but because she's smart, philosophically correct (as a physicist should be), and knows how to be rude sometimes. There's not many women on earth like that. Great teacher though.

I liked Dr. Forrest. I didn't find the class overly difficult, her tests were very straightforward but you definitely needed to know the material. Overall she was very fair, she even allowed the grade on the final to replace the worst test grade. And the lectures even had interaction, not just someone talking at you the whole time.

UH and physics just don't mix well from what I've learned. But Forrest is your best bet if you have to take it though. Physics can be tough, but she makes it relatively less painful. Prepare to study. She has interactive lectures, which help. Attend them. Tests are pretty straightforward, but you better know your stuff going in.

She is a very passionate professor, and she loves her job. I can understand her lecture if I read the book prior the class. Students are urged to participate in class, encouraged to ask questions.

She's a really good teacher. All you have to do if pay attention in class, do your homework, and read the textbook. You'll make an easy A or B. TAKE HER!

Dr. Forrest is a great teacher. Really knows her stuff. She is receptive to questions. I personally found the lectures helpful, but I knew several people who did well without going. Exams covered lecture material and were pretty straightforward.

She's very straightforward, go in, get the derivation, class over. Homework is through Connect, fairly easy. Physics department at UH is not creative with exams, study the standard previous exams and this class becomes much less difficult. Required attendance for my section which is annoying considering class is not helpful to your grade.

Professor Forrest is honestly the best professor I've had at UH so far. She really cares about her students and is very clear and understandable in lecture. Definitely the best option if you have to take Physics 1321.

Basically the only physics worth taking at UH. She's clear and makes you look forward to attending her recitations. If you can't take her then don't bother taking anyone else because they're terrible.

Best Physics professor on campus. She takes her time to try to explain everything in a way that makes sense. The most helpful when attending her office hours. (If planning on petitioning for honors credit: do not. A LOT of extra work, better off doing honors section instead.)

The class wasn't easy, it required a lot of extra work and time. However, she made sure that everyone got it in the class. Don't be afraid to ask questions. She is the only Physics professor to have a teaching degree and that really makes a difference I'll tell you that.

Nice lady, very helpful during class and office hours. Encourages participation and questions. Physics is not easy, but she does her best and takes her time to make sure everyone understands. There's a reason why her classes are always full. She's the only physics professor worth taking at UH.

Dr. Forrest is the best professor at UH. Switched from McCauley's class just to get in hers. Very good at explaining the physical concepts. Derives the formulas while solving situations which makes it really intuitive. Highly recommend her.

Best physics professor at UH. Her lectures are extremely helpful as long as you pay attention and ask questions. Skipping class will make things very difficult. Always available for extra help in her office. Respects students and grades fairly. It is a difficult class, but if you put the effort in, she will reward you. Final grade was curved.

Great professor! Loved her in PHYS 1321 as well! Really detailed lectures are great if you missed a reading. At least skim the book before class and you will get full benefit from her lectures. Honors section has more homework, but relatively easy tests. Best physics professor at UH!

Caring. Knows who you are. Sincere. Takes roll. Class is one-third homework assignments (be ready to work), one-third a class presentation you alone will do, one-third final based on all class presentations. Participation translates into grades. Class is small, and one semester hour. Accompanying lab is three hours not rated here.

The teacher is good, but the exams are difficult. One problem with the teacher is that the examples she does in her lecture are way easier then the questions on the exams. Thus, it is difficult know what to expect on the exam. She also made only one of the four tests we had. The other three exams were made by different physics teachers(hard exams).

Overrated, all you really need is your textbook. What I mean is just read it and do practice problems from the book. No reason why you should not make an A. Despite that, I wish I could take her for Uni. 2.

The homework is tough, but the solution manual is out there on the internet meaning your hw category should be an A. Dr. Forrest is an expert at explaining complex concepts in layman's terms. I will be taking her again the following semester, because she is just that good. She does curve, by how much I do not know. DO NOT DIE BY THE CURVE.

Very good Professor, I took her for Modern Physics 1. The class is very difficult, by nature, but is to be expected from a class of this level, however she made it very interesting and presented the material in a very clear and concise manner. She cares about your success if you show up and put forth an effort. The tests are hard, but managable

Expect homework every week. Tests are tough but she curves at the end and the lectures are really good; she goes in depth and will always answer any questions you may have. She is definitely the best physics professor at UH so I took her for both 1321 and 1322 honors, no regrets. Find the solutions manual because it will help you tons on the hw!!

Forrest is one of the top physics professors in UH. She will cover theories and proves first. Then she covers multiple problems. DO NOT look up answers to HW because you will not learn the material properly. Exams are departmental so go online and search for previous semester exams and practice with those. The exams are easier than the homework.

Forrest can come off as rude but that's just her sense of humor. I had a very difficult time in this class, despite her very detailed & helpful lectures. Failed all 3 exams but good grade on final (all-nighter), which replaces lowest test grade. Lots of extra credit w/warm-ups, but weekly homework sucked & wasn't helpful. In-class demos for 10%.

You'll learn the material by showing up to lecture and doing the hw. Tests are hard but easier if you do the HW! She's always willing to help if you ask, whether it's in her office hours or in class. She's really nice and explains things thoroughly.

Only put textbook mandatory because you do have to get MasteringPhysics for the weekly homework (due Sunday nights). I really like Dr. Forrest and was surprised because of all the negative things about physics at UH, but really the lecturers (that I have heard anyway) are all great! She gives extra credit, and going to class really does help. GL!

Good professor. Works out examples in the board and teaches good. Also she likes to do demos in class. If you want to do good in the class attend lectures, read the chapters and practice as many problems from each chapter before the test. Tests are hard but there is extra credit, a curve, and final test replaces lowest midterm.

I dreaded taking physics as I had never had a proper one prior to this but Forrest is not that bad. Yes the course requires you to study hard/practice/learn on your own in order to succeed but that has nothing to do with her. Forrest gave out extra credit and a huge curve. Failed one exam and did meh on the others and still got an A, #1 tip-study!

Dr. Forrest is fantastic. The perfect amount of sass and caring. She lectures well if you do have her for a lecture class, and she has a great teaching style in lab settings. Her grading may have been a little inconsistent, but no deductions were undeserved.

She does a great job of going over the material and is always available to try and explain the concepts. Has students answer questions all the time (by semi-random selection) and does a good job of keeping people involved with the material.

Physics is hard. Doesn't matter who teaches it. The only way to make an A or B is putting in the time and studying it yourself.

Tests are extremely difficult for this course. Well, this course in general is extremely difficult. Homework required a lot fo outside help and tutoring (some from Forrest, who is accessible). There was an extra credit assignment. Her lectures are clear and she answers questions well; it's just the content of the course that's really hard.

For the average UH student, this message should be ignored. She is a great professor compared to nearly all the other physics professors at UH. However, in terms of deep critical learning, she isn't always capable of answering your questions. This is in contrast to the MIT professors, but she is the best of what there is at UH.

Good professor that pushes her students. Can be both nice and stern when it comes to seminar and lab. Will often ask questions you don't expect and give proper explanation to answers.

Professor was great, physics just wasn't for me. One thing to note is that the homeworks don't line up very well with the tests, it's all the same concepts but it feels like something completely new. Attendance isn't mandatory.

Like always tests don't match up with homework assignments but the curve is helpful. I got 50s and 60s on all the tests including the final and finished with a C.

Dr Forrest is a good professor she has a lot of patience to answer and explain questions. Physics is not my forte, but Dr Forrest made it as painless as possible.

She has great lectures so be sure to show up to them otherwise you miss out on a lot. She does upload her notes but the lectures are not recorded. She is very helpful both in and out of class. The exam is difficult in part by the use of expertTA. It is not good for preparing you for exams. I had to rely on youtube. She is funny and friendly.

She's a great professor for physics. Participation in her class helps learning the material and the homework is pretty easy. She's easy to understand and she answers questions clearly :D

Loved her as a professor and was very caring during office hours. However it was difficult to study for tests and the homeworks proved difficult too. Ended up getting my grade because I struggled so hard with physics, but she was still supportive the whole way through.

She's the best professor you could take for physics. Physics will always be hard and so will the exams, but Professor Forrest does try to make it entertaining and engaging (she does live demos). Be prepared to study A LOT to do well on exams since her homework (on ExpertTA) is forgiving.

her lectures are a little confusing but her exams are so easy, just learn to use the equations and this class will be a breeze. doing the homework and practice that she gives you is more than enough to study for the exams. 3 exams and 1 cumulative final, as well as hw and some small teamwork worksheets in class

the exams did not match any homework and review that was covered during the semester, you have to study other ways, go through the textbook and expertTA. very kind and caring proffessor

**PHYS 2325. Great professor, goes through a lot of good examples in class. Review the examples in her notes and homework problems for exams and youll be fine. Very helpful and encouraging in office hours.

Dr. Forrest was a great physics professor. Her lectures presented information clearly. There were weekly homeworks along with warm-ups. Tests are not too bad as long as you understand the material in the homework and study beforehand.

Very sweet, good at explaining. Honestly doesn't really curve but you'll get many opportunities for extra credit so don't bank on the curve.

Tons of legroom to do well on other portions of the class rather than the exams alone. Study her PowerPoint problems, she reuses questions on exams, or highlights information that will 100% be on exams. Class isn't curved an insane amount, so do study. She offers many practice problems on Expert TA, worksheets, and her lecture problems.
