Reviews of professor Laura Adams

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Her lectures are ok, she's pretty decent at explaining concepts and has helpful visual demonstrations. She's very unempathetic: if you miss a quiz(pretty much a midterm), you can't make it up, no matter the excuse. The good things: practice exams, online lecture notes, and generous curve. A lot of the class(lab) difficulty will depend on your TA.

Professor Adams was fine. She was exactly what I would expect a professor of physics to be like. Obviously she isn't an amazing teacher but she has a phd in physics not education. She gave us everything we needed to get an A and the people who did poorly were the people not attending lecture or doing the homework. She also curved generously.

Prof. Adams gave many reasources to help her students succed. She gave generous curves and really seemed to care how her students were doing. Caring does not always corrleate with being a great teacher though, and I often struggled to follow her lectures. Concepts were not always clear and she treated new material as if it were a quick review.

Adams wasn't terrible by any means, but she was far from what I would consider to be a great professor. The tests were challenging (as they should be), and for the most part it was best to prepare just by finding practice tests from people in other sections cause she would only give us 1. Final was difficult but with preparation it wasn't awful.

She makes lots of leaps in logic when explaining problems which only make sense if you know the material beforehand. She writes all of the necessary formulas but doesn't usually explain when to use them or how they work. She does post lots of practice tests and questions with pretty thorough solutions which help a lot.
