Professor Darici is the BEST physics professor at FIU, and I've had many. If you didn't pass this class, then you either missed many classes or didn't do the HW. Test problems are like the HW. Dr. Darici makes physics easy to understand using step by step instructions for those of us who are not math/physics gifted. This plus a generous curve = A

As long as you look through the textbook examples, watch her lectures, and take sufficient notes, you should have no problem in this class. She posts practice exams for the 2 exams she gives - one online and one in person. The only things that get you on exams are dumb mistakes. Easiest Physics 2 professor at FIU if you're willing to work a bit

Wouldn't take again

Her lectures did not explain anything. Everything I learned was self taught. The exams were extremely difficult even with study sessions and tutoring from the TA.

Watched her first lecture video ... well her voice is a little irritating to say the least. But has a really great curve, I think it's 54 is passing. 2 tests proctored and 1 test online which is only 10% of your grade. Gives credit for using the write equation, drawing diagram etc. Taking again for Physics 2

Took it online, the tests are hard but doable. Just use different resources to study for each chapter.

Online course is really difficult. 4 exams and 7 quizzes. Be prepared for the the exams. Lectures are long and tedious. Exams are difficult than the hw problems you do. The hardest course I have ever taken. Take it with someone else if possible

Her voice on the lecture video is brutal. so hard to listen to. Read text book, solve examples and do the practice exams or just take it in person honestly.

Unless you're already good at physics and have a relaxed schedule to be able to take the tests at random times in the middle of the week, on campus, take this class elsewhere.

it is a teach yourself class. Her lectures are posted but her voice can be really high and it is very difficult to watch them in one sitting. Exams are based on problems from the back of the book. hw are online. The Class TA will do a review with exact problems. TA is very accessible and will help. Darici is non-existent but curve is very good!

I took her online and I found the class really difficult. You pretty much have to teach yourself and use any resources you can find (chegg study helped me a lot). Her lectures are a bit hard to understand but she did provide a lot of resources online. Her grading scale does help out a lot; a 50-60% as an overall grade is a C.
