Good teacher in my opinion. Can be slightly confusing but most teachers are. Tests can be tough. TA lab helps.

I had her for her first semester teaching- she struggled a little bit, but improved a lot through the semester. You can expect her to be better in the future. Her grading is EXTREMELY fair and she wants you to succeed. If you do your part, it will all work out. The class was pretty easy and I learned a lot.

yeah alot of people says she is a bad teacher, not prepared, and unclear... I learned a great deal in her class, she has a great grading system, and is willing to help her students. Make study groups for sure. she has a bad rep, but I thought she was a great teacher and I'm planning on taking phys 106 from her

Dr. Magleby is better at explaining things conceptually than technically. If you expect to attend class and not put in any other work than you may have a tough time. If you do the reading, work with the TAs and attend class she can really help you understand and learn the material.

She was an excellent teacher with a profound interest in the learning of her students. She was more than willing to put in the extra time to help us understand.

Prof. Magleby is a great teacher, she is very knowledgable about the subject matter and truly enjoys it, which makes it a little easier for the rest of it. Really nice lady.

People are too hard on this professor. She had lecture notes that outlined exactly what you needed to know. Test questions were sometimes directly from the pre-tests. It's not hard if you study. This class was easy in comparison to physics 105 that I took from another professor. I recommend her over the others.

Easiest Physics class you will ever take at BYU. She keeps things organized and even prints out how to work out the most missed problems on each test. She shows you exactly how to do the problems so you can get through the homework faster. Her method of collecting homework can be a pain for a week or so though. Highly Recommended!

I loved Prof Magelby. She really wants her students to succeed. Her teaching methods seemed much clearer to me than the prof I had for 105. She tries to explain things in everyday terms by using analogies. I highly recommend taking physics from her, especially if physics isn't your thing. Make use of the pre-tests. They are very helpful.

She was extremely helpful outside class and was very considerate of her students. She didn't always explain things extremely well though.

Magleby's really not as bad as some of these ratings are saying she is. She's really a decent teacher. As long as you do the homework, get help in the physics tutor lab if you need it, and study, you should be fine. Her practice tests were helpful and she was really nice.

She's a really good professor. She honestly cares about the comprehension level of her students. Her class handouts made it so you could pay more direct attention to the lecture without having to frantically write your notes. I noticed there were some students that seemed to hate her guts but I think that attitude is completely unfounded.

Great Teacher! She is constantly helping us see the reason as to why we are doing what we are doing. And she is always there to help. TAs are a definite must though if you want to get a good grade.

She is a very good professor. This class is difficult, but if you go to the TA lab to do the homework, you shouldn't have too many problems. She is very friendly and outgoing.

I grew to like Professor Magleby as the semester went on. It is a hard class, because she expects a a lot of high-quality work. But once you get the hang of it, it isn't too bad.

I really liked this class. It did require work, time, and attending the TA lab quite often. Prof Magleby does a good job teaching the principles in everyday, easy to grasp terms. In my physics 121 class we learned a lot of the same things but they made a lot more sense in Statics. I highly recommend taking the class when she is teaching it.

Great pre-req class! Take advantage of the online homework - print out the solutions and understand them. Hard at first, but the work becomes really easy. Prof M is kind. Go down to the TA lab, even if you are intimidated. If you want to, skip class to go to the lab. The TAs are great, you meet people, and you finish homework fast.

I really dont know why anybody doesnt like Magleby. She is suuuper friendly, here homework is due the same day every week which is nice. She lets you know what will be on the test, no surprises. HW is reasonable, it will take about 3-4 hrs per week, but go to the TA lab and its easy and you meet a lot of people there.

She is a great teacher and cares enough about her students to learn all of our names! The class is easy enough if you have taken plenty of physics. The TA lab is very helpful when it comes to homework layout and difficult problems.

Sister Magleby is awesome! It is a hard class, but she doen't make it that way, that's just the subject. Class attendance might not be mandatory, but you will do a whole lot better in the class if you do attend. During the first few weeks, she memorizes everyone's name. If you have trouble understanding a problem, use the TA lab, they don't bite.

Don't worry about the class, you can do it!

Good lecturer; TA lab is essential to passing; just go ahead and do all your homework in there instead of banging your head against the wall at home. Practice is key; the lectures really are good but you won't master anything without practice. Study the last couple of sections of class well before the final; detailed material does show up.

Tough class but still learned a lot. The most frustrating part of the class is how picky she is with the format of homework and free responses. You can lose quite a lot of points even if you get the right answer.

She is a really good teacher and willing to help students when they have questions, but sometimes does a poor job explaining things, which requires help from the TA's. The homework is pretty tough but the tests aren't as bad.

Professor Magleby is great. Always willing to help and the class is designed very well. She's really focused on helping students. Lacks a little bit in the clarity department and sometimes has trouble understanding students questions, but she genuinely wants to help and makes sure she's always available to do so. Defiantly would take again.

Sister Magleby gives so many resources to help students to learn. She hires a ton of TA's that work anytime from the early morning to the night. She gives out handouts and was very accessible outside of class. She is very caring. Lots of homework. The people who give bad reviews are those who haven't taken responsibility for their own learning yet.

Prof. Magleby is an amazing woman. She's patient with her students and wants them to do well. She has a pretty clear structure, yeah it is strict, but if you follow it you will do well. Do the homework, go to the TA lab, and participate in class. Take it in the spring if possible. Test heavy--but don't be deceived, if you don't do it, you will die.

Most of the grade comes from tests, but at least one problem on each test comes directly from the study guide. If you do the homework and listen to her hints in class, tests are very doable (4 hour time limit). The final project was easy, individual, and fun. She let us use the solutions manual when we got stuck, which I loved. Give her a chance.

I had no physics experience at all before this class and I did fine. She's a good teacher and cares for her students a lot. If you ask for help from her and go to the TA lab often you'll do fine in the class. There's a lot of HW and it has a strict format but it helps prepare you for the tests.

Professor Magleby is the kindest professor I've had so far! She is very understanding of what students need for hw and exams, and she provides exactly what is needed for both of them. She gives a ton of homework help in each lecture, and the exact solutions for corrections. Exams are great, they are only what is on the hw, with conceptual questions

Magleby is great! Her tests are normally just multiple choice and she gives you everything you need for them. I did need help from the TAs a little more than usual on the homework, but then I was ready when the test came around. You don't want to miss lectures, though, because you'll fall behind. She's really nice and enjoys teaching. I love her!

People either like her or hate her. I thing her excitement makes class fun. She shows videos and other real life application which helps digest concepts. She emphasizes main points several times in class so things stick by the time you do homework. Homework was tough because there was so much to learn and so many reading quizzes.

She makes you grade your own hw. Eww. Decent lectures, but I think she's been teaching this class for too long. Decent enough class, but does have a decent amount of work involved.

I don't know why there are poor ratings, probably because this is an intro-level class & freshmen are just salty cause it's their first time they actually had to work for a grade. She is an amazing teacher, clear, organized, and really works for your success. Hard concepts, but you have everything needed to get a good grade if you actually try

No clue why people hate her, probably because they're lazy and you actually have to do the homework to solidify material. The hw is pretty accurate of how the tests are, and she is very good at making sure you have the resources to do well. Super understanding to the difficulties of online learning. It's really not that hard and she is awesome

Stephanie is a great teacher, but beware of her tests. They can be confusing at times but the content is not hard to understand. I would 100 percent recommend. The home works do count a lot, so beware. Also, there is a bridge project that she never really teaches you how to do it, but with few youtube videos, you should be able to get by.

One of my favorite teachers! Tests are pretty easy as long as you can do the homework & understand it. You grade your own homework which is nice because it is worth a lot of your grade. She is very flexible and even canceled large assignments because of covid and online learning challenges. Ignore the bad reviews, she rocks and the class isn't hard

Overall she wasn't a bad teacher. She is very kind and caring, and was always ready to answer questions or help with a concern. Sometimes her teaching wasn't the most clear or concise, but she does well enough that you can understand the material and do ok. Your grade mostly comes from the hw and the tests.

Professor Magleby gives hints for the homework every class period in order for students to get started and gives a lot of hints as to what will be on the tests. Tests are conceptual and mostly multiple choice. Homework isn't terrible, but there are some problems/units that will trip you up. Other students had more issues with her than I did.

Prof. Magleby is the best. Her lectures are clear and fun, the HW load and tests are reasonable, and she gives you ample resources for studying. She also gives hints for all HW assignments at the end of lecture.

I loved Professor Magleby; her lectures were effective and enjoyable, and she is very understanding of the hardships that come with school and this class specifically. One annoying thing is she doesn't use the online grade book, so it's hard to really know how you're doing in the class until you get your final grade.

How to Pass: Step 1 - Go to Class. Step 2 - take pictures of homework help. Step 3 - Go to TA hours when you work on homework. Step 4 - Rinse and Repeat. Her exams aren't the worst, but they are graded heavily. Her homework help is only provided IN CLASS. So take a good photo while you're there and try to sit in the front for good photos.

Stephanie Magleby is one of the most kind, competent teachers in the ME program. She cares a lot about getting her information across to her students, and understands her material well. I absolutely loved her class, and any time I didn't understand something, I'd ask her about it and she'd explain it. The TA's are all true homies as well.

Dr. Magleby is very sweet and cares a lot about her students. Not sure why all the negative reviews because she makes dynamics so so easy. Lectures are a bit disorganized but she is very clear about what material is on the tests and gives many answers beforehand as well as lots of tips and help on homework. Very down to earth too.

Professor Magleby is good at explaining difficult concepts in an understandable way.

Professor Magleby taught well, I think her homework system is really good at helping us learn. You do have to keep close track of the assignments though. TAs are vital, they got me through this class. I think her low rating is undeserved, everyone I've talked to also thinks she's great!

Professor Magleby taught the class well. There was a lot of homework, but there were many TA's that were able to help me along the way. There are 3 exams in total, 3 bridge projects, and homework basically every day. As long as you go to class and talk to TAs and classmates, you should be fine.

The material is very hard, but she teaches very well. She does a quick walk through for the homework at the end of each class, and it makes a world of a difference. She also has us do a final project, but it takes like no time at all. VERY HARD, VERY WORTH IT

You have homework due Monday, Wednesday, Friday, but its usually only a few problems each time, and at the end of each class she gives some tips to help you with it. Tests were really difficult, but the class was a good, and lectures were focused on solving dynamics problems.

Professor Magleby teaches difficult concepts very simply. If you come to class and pay attention during lecture then you will understand and if you didn't quite grasp the concepts then you have access to TA's who are super helpful. If somebody does bad in her class it is because they don't show up to lecture or use the other resources given.

I took CCE 103 Fall 2023. I came back to write a review because I miss professor Magleby so much! She has a gift of teaching and making learning accessible. She made me believe I was capable of doing engineering. I miss her teaching style. Her expectations were clear and she always gave exam help. The TA's are so helpful. She wants you to succeed!

Professor Magleby is by far one of the best on campus. Her lectures are clear, concise, and actually help with exams and homework. Expect 4-6 hours of homework a week, doing the hw is the best way to prepare for the exams. The TA's for this class are key to getting the hw done efficiently. Don't waste time trying to figure it out on your own.

Magleby really cares about her student's success and gave all the tools we needed to succeed. Lectures were great at establishing the foundation, HW cemented it. 5ish hours of HW per week, but Magleby gives a lot of in-class help and the TA lab is regularly staffed. Take advantage of the TAs!! Tests are a breeze if you can do the HW by yourself.

Magleby cares about her students as she makes sure to learn everyone's names. She is really clear about what is on the tests and gives help with the homework. Her lectures are a repeated every year and have a ton of fluff, which can be a bit annoying. There is built in wiggle room for assignments, but she probably won't make exceptions as a result.

Professor Magleby is great at explaining tough concepts. Her homework system helps a lot, though you need to stay on top of assignments. The TAs are vital too. For study prep, unstuck study and other tools like ChatGPT were super helpful.

Great teacher!! I took statics from her and I absolutely loved it!! She explains the material very, very clearly and is understanding. You'll need to work to get the homework done, but it will help you gain a fantastic understanding of the material.

The class is tough, I'm a lot slower and I spent around 5 hours a week doing the homework. I got a 50% in physics 105 so i was worried about this class, i got a 97% in this was a fraction of the work. People make this class seem way harder than it is. Work hard in the beginning 3-4 weeks and the rest is down hill. She is a great teacher.

Professor Magleby had very clear expectations, but she really wants her students to succeed. The material is tough, but the TAs are always available and great. She gives lots of answers to the homeworks & how to work through them on slides at the end of class, so make sure to attend & take pictures - slides aren't posted anywhere. Loved her class!

She teaches the concepts then basically runs through the homework with us in class. She is particular about the way you do things, like formatting and such, so you have to be meticulous with that. The homework can take 2-3 at a time if you get stuck, but the TA lab is usually pretty helpful.

Prof Magleby is very fair and wants you to succeed. Statics is not an easy class, but it is manageable as long as you go to lectures and hit up the TA lab for sure (do NOT waste time trying to do the HW on your own). She is VERY particular about formatting, and it's a learning curve, but not bad. The tests are beasts, but overall, not the craziest.

This is one of my favorite classes because of Professor Magleby! She truly cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She gives homework help in lectures and makes it possible to get a good grade with a lot of effort. The TA lab is a blessing and definitely worth going to. I thought I wasn't cut out for physics until I took this class.
