Reviews of professor Kathryn McGill

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She teaches things slowly and thoroughly in lecture, and it genuinely helps.  Physics is a hard subject but she does her best to help.  Weekly quizzes are free response and sometimes tough, but you get partial credit for showing work.  Highly recommend!

Although it's physics 1 and ridiculously hard, I honestly would've failed without Dr McGill's lectures. Seeing her adorable dog every morning brightened my day, and her lectures were so organized and concise that I really preferred her over Prof Zhang. I did have to work my ass off for a B-, but Dr McGill was still an amazing prof.

Physics is probably the hardest weed out class at UF, and it will generally suck. That said, McGill is the best professor in the department. She has balanced lectures and the exam questions she makes are the most approachable. The class is graded almost entirely on 3 exams. It's a tough class, but the class did best on the exam that she made.

She wants to see you pass, seriously. She went over the questions I got wrong on exam 2 with me during office hours, which was helpful. The lectures were average, so I recommend study edge

This professor was not astonishingly horrible but definitely wasn't great by any means. She kind of explained stuff in lectures but mostly wrote answers down and skipped the explanation. Be prepared to teach yourself for this class.

Ms McGill is a very caring professor that I took for applied physics 2, yes physics is hard but she tries her best to make the material understandable. You have to study for this class for sure.

Professor McGill is funny and teaches very well, all lectures are recorded. She uses iClicker as extra credit and the grading scale is curved, 85% is an A! She really knows how to explain Physics and posts all the lecture notes. Of course, the quizzes and exams were hard but that's just how Physics is and she definitely made it much easier.

This class is not hard if you do the hw for real. Her lectures are very clear. Hw tips are usually given in lecture. Participation questions are extra credit. You can get up to 5% extra credit. Practice tests are made available before exams. Quizzes are based on the hw. Very knowledgable and approachable. Loved her.

Prof. McGill is an amazing teacher. She teaches concepts as if she is teaching small children (which is GREAT, she won't let you leave lecture confused given that you pay attention). Genuinely cares for grades and student wellbeing. However, course is exam heavy and all Q's are multiple choice. MASTER practice exams and you should be fine.
