Reviews of professor Antonia Zipfel

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Physics 1 is supposed to not be such an intense class, but she makes it such. Most of us are not even physics majors, I am a ComSci major that just needs to get through physics 1 and 2, but this is proving to be harder than my 4000 level COP classes due to her lack of teaching the material, excessive HW, and harsh grading. DO NOT TAKE.

Lecture was a complete waste of time. Show up five minutes before the attendance sheet shows up and use a good cheat sheet. Do not miss any homeworks.

What ever you do, don't take this class. There are other professors who teach the same subject at a much easier level. If you are looking to take this class for your major DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR AT ALL COSTS.

Her syllabus says "treat this class like a part-time job." Um, no. Also, she teaches w/o doing any examples like you would see in math class. She simply regurgitates the textbook, rather than translating the textbook. You should really treat this as a self-learn class. Lots of KhanAcademy & Chegg. Search "ib physics data booklet" & use the pdf doc.

Takes attendance at the end of every class. Not very good at explaining things & doesn't provide examples. Takes off points on hw and tests if you get the right answer but don't do it her way. TRY TO FIND ANOTHER PROFESSOR IF YOU CAN. Textbook & hw online: about $160. Good luck if you're taking her class, but you'll need more than that to pass.

A lot of the math concepts requires you to have prior knowledge of calc 3 and differential equations. Most of the time, her lectures consists of deriving the formulas which is fine, but she doesnt explain how to apply them. Her tests have multiple choice and 3 written responses, in which the written portion is worth more than the multpile choice.

Useless lecture, mandatory attendance, impossible tests.

Do not take this professor whatever you do, wait next semester to take another professor save yourself the time and stress. Unless you are Harvard or MIT material student you won't pass this class higher than a B. Lectures are straight out of textbook and she does not know how to communicate information. If you do take this class expect a C.

Lectures are mandatory but POINTLESS. Nothing in her lectures are on HW or exams. She lectures as if you are a Physics major in graduate school. Excessive HW, does not help. Her tests are graded harshly. She does provide study guides prior to exams which help a SMALL AMOUNT. Take this class at another college if able! It's not worth the stress.

she is truly horrible when it come to understanding any of her material its while lot of theorem that isn't even part of the quizzes or exams
