Reviews of professor Samantha Wojda

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
You'll basically teach yourself. Her prerecorded videos are incomplete and confusing. She used a flipped classroom method; in class we only did practice problems, which is not useful if you don't know how to do them. She literally never fully explains a problem on the board. Exams are hard. But, she's nice and lenient for curves and due dates

Had 4 midterms, and a cumulative final, but Wojda gave tons of partial credit and week long grace periods on homework. Really lovely and accessible professor, truly cares about her students and helping them succeed. It is still a hard class, but it's possible to get a good grade so long as you put in the effort.

Super heavy lectures. Throws a lot of information at you and expects you to understand immediately. Labs are kind of rough, but not impossible. Exams are almost all multiple choice, with a few short answers. Not horribly difficult. A good grasp of anatomy will save you a lot of time.

One of my best professors. She is very understanding and willing to work with students. Very fair grader and if you devote time to learning the topics you will do fine. There is a decent amount of work and you should stay on top of it but she is forgiving with late-credit and the four midterms are pretty easy. Most accomodating teacher I've had

Make sure you come to class--Statics and Dynamics moves fast, and Wojda's lectures and in-class examples are really good and clear--really helps you understand the concepts. Exams are insanely hard, but she's really accessible outside of class and makes sure you actually understand the topic. She also gives amazing, insanely generous partial credit

Statics by itself is a hard class. However, Dr. Wojda is very understanding of its difficulty and will make sure every student in her class has to opportunity to succeed in her class. There is a ton of homework but the grading for that and the test are very forgiving and can still get full credit after one week it was initially due.
