Reviews of professor Claire Berger

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She's super sweet, so asking her questions in class really helps. I would say that her lectures aren't amazing because she's really quiet and a little all over the place. However, the works level and grading was very doable.

Dr. Berger is very sweet, and I liked her quite a bit as a person, but she's a terrible professor. Her lectures were so confusing that she made the class harder! Before a test, I had to go look at the other professors' notes because Dr. Berger's were so useless. She makes this class so much harder than it has to be.

Her accent at times makes it a little hard to understand what she is talking about, and her lectures are fine. Not the worst lecturer, but not the best either. The course content was manageable, but I had some background in Physics 1 knowledge already. The homework load was also relatively manageable, and the tests were fair.

This is for PHYS 2213 - she is super sweet and very enthusiastic. her teaching is very fast and you'll have to go back through the slides, but she provides great resources. Would recommend using the book, though it isn't required. the class was definitely hard, but the tests were fair and she's an easy grader

Professor Berger is very accessible outside of class, which was very nice as it helped me understand a lot of the material as a third method of getting clarification (outside of lecture, edX). On the other hand, she did spend a lot of time doing derivations, and I found that you had to sit in the front as she wrote a lot on the whiteboard.

Dr. Berger was extremely nice and extremely caring. The main problem is she just wasn't that great with lectures, she spent a bit too much time with derivations and unnecessary complications instead of focusing more on the broader picture. Personally I struggled to understand much through her lectures and had to turn elsewhere.

Berger is the sweetest person but her teaching is very confusing. She prefers to derive equations instead of explaining concepts clearly. You have to attend lectures to do clicker questions. The tests were written by her, Greco, and Alicea though so they were pretty straightforward. Definitely take a different prof if you have other options.

Dr Berger is an amazing person and clearly loves physics a lot, however she's not the best lecturer. It is really hard to follow her lectures and she focuses on concepts that are not relevant to the exam. I probably would not have done as well in the course without the lectures from the other professor.

Her lectures are hard to follow and she overcomplicates the concepts. I used to study Professor Alicea's lecture notes because Berger's notes were all over the place. Still had to attend Berger's lecture for clicker questions.
