Reviews of professor Linda Reichl

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Reichl as a person is wonderful and very sweet, but she can not teach. The only reason this class was doable was because of high school physics experience, so if you don't have any, please don't take her. Lectures go way too fast and she reads off of notes, not the best at explaining concepts during class. Tests are online but are fast paced

Don't take this class, or actually try to avoid physics at UT in general if possible. If Peter is the TA, also do not take this class! Maybe she is a better professor in person but online just read notes with pre-worked examples. Added a test to the syllabus after the ice storm and final exam is worth large portion of grade, avoid at ALL costs.

Wickedly smart, and it's to her downfall. She's too qualified to teach this class. Doesn't teach very well, most lectures are just her writing over her own notes. She doesn't know how to teach people that are unfamiliar with the material. The tests were also next to impossible to complete in the allotted time.

Dr. Reichl is very accomplished in physics, but when teaching, it's mediocre at best. Unless you are already REALLY comfortable in physics, you will be struggling to understand anything the whole semester because the pacing is lightning speed. Granted, physics at Ut is already difficult as it is, so Reichl isn't the worst if you learn on your own.

Dr. Reichl is super knowledgeable and caring. This class does have a faster pace and covers a broader range of topics toward the end. Lectures are hard to follow along but the slides are great to read. Reading those before doing homework in Quest would make life much easier. It requires effort but is still doable.

Very top notch professor, the material is really hard for physics but I feel she does a great job doing her best and she always tries to bump the curve as much as she can. Sometimes her class can be dreadfully long spent on homework problems rather than the actual material.25 percent of the grade comes from HW, discussion attendance and attendance
