Reviews of professor Carolyn Sealfon

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The course is organized in a very bad manner, the professor is very bad at explaining the course material and her lectures make you feel like you are in elementary school with all the random clapping moments throughout the class.

I used to really enjoy physics before I took her class. Poor management, and terrible lectures have made me dread going into lectures and reviewing for this course. She is also running a study on the effect of participation on grades during her course, and did not inform us of that fact at all.

I used to really enjoy physics, now I hate it.

For someone who has problems interacting with other people, this course would be absolute torture. This professor basically forces you to work as a group for everything (you dont get to choose). Even during lectures they keep sending you into break-out rooms to chitchat with others over nothing. The most ridiculous course Ive ever taken.

Professor Sealfon is disorganised, patronising, often condescending and has developed a horrible course structure for PHY131H1S. While the course is designed as an introduction to Physics, and the content is really not very difficult at all, Professor Sealfon is genuinely a horrible teacher. Never take any of her courses.

The exams have legit nothing to do with what we do in class. The class before our midterm had a ppt with a total of 3 (three) slides one was the intro and one was the "see you next week". Worst professor I've ever had in my academic career.

I don't really know what else to say, PHY132 Winter 2021 was an experiment where us students were the lab rats, and all I can say is at least I survived. If you want to learn physics, I recommend taking courses at UTM or UTSC instead, or even taking PHY152 maybe (granted I heard that course is pretty hard to).
