Reviews of professor Carolyn Sealfon

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
To an extent, in Dr. Sealfon's own mind, the way she teaches is beneficial, so she deserves some mercy. However, the unrelated image for tests that we did not have enough time for, was unfair. The difficulty in class/slides was nothing compared to the tests and she knew and did nothing about it. She practically made the class impossible.

Don't know if I can say anything new. The main problem here is not that people have a problem specifically with the quizzes. It's that she poses these ambiguous and confusing Q's with image analysis in midterms, but we only learn from the textbook which has nothing to do with the quiz. She knows this as well but says there's nothing we can do now.

Worst class I've ever taken. I would've dropped if I didn't need it for a program. Lectures are awful and the homework does not help you prepare for the quizzes at all. The quizzes are straight up brutal and also the weirdest structure I've ever seen. She has no mercy. Curved down students on a final that a lot of people failed.

The content of the course is not too bad if you took High School physics. But this is not about the course, it is about the Prof. She doesn't teach during lecture as she assigns the textbook to read and annotate before class. The tests/midterms are unfairly difficult as the questions do not cover lecture content. Not a good first year experience.

WORST PROFESSOR ON EARTH DONT EVER TAKE ANY CLASS WITH HER SHE SHOULDNT EVEN BE A PROFESSOR.LECTURES ARE TERRIBLE SHE JUST POSTS ONE OR TWO QUESTIONS IN HER SLIDES AND EXPECTS US TO SOLVE IT AND TEACH THE REST OF THE CLASS. SHE THINKS THE TEXTBOOK IS ENOUGH TO TEACH OURSELVES. HER TESTS ARE SO BAD AND SHES SO DISORGANIZED ALWAYS CHANING HER MIND.

I did not learn a single thing from the course. Basically, physics knowledge for this course would come from high school courses from Grade 11/12 or AP Physics courses. The marking scheme was also unbalanced. Overall, going to her lectures was pretty meaningless. Understanding her lectures was more difficult than understanding the content itself.

jesus never again the material isn't so bad... it's the test Like u can't really study for it. sure you can watch few khan academy videos to grasp the concept, but practicing the "old fashioned" physics questions won't prepare you for the stupid 6 question online brutal format quiz. the lecture was so confusing.... please avoid at all cost.
