Reviews of professor Claire Berger

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Berger's personality and vibe is great but the lectures were generally unhelpful. She went over concepts pretty quickly but the examples were sort of helpful. Labs were generally pretty good at helping you understand material. Tutoring will be your best friend. The test are absolute hell. If your taking this class, try to get Munoz.

Really nice, accessible at office hours, wants her students to succeed. Not the best lecturer, goes off on derivation tangents instead of teaching important content. Variables used in equations are never fully defined with SI units and vector conventions. Stopped going to lecture ~week 4 and using EdX alone and group studying got me an A.

Without having any prior physics experience, this class was very difficult for me and Professor Berger's lectures were only somewhat helpful. For the first half I found it manageable, but toward the end I found it easier to watch videos online than attempt to understand her explanations. That being said, she cared about the students deeply

Unmatched by physics professors.

Professor wrote on the small board at the front of the class for a lecture of over three hundred students. Instead of explaining the material she chooses to derive equations while running her class like a reverse classroom. While the only saving grace is the fact that her courses are Modern physics. Best suggestion would be listening to Munoz.
