Reviews of professor Kendra Letchworth-Weaver

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Weaver was an awesome professor. The class is very hard and the tests are worth a lot, but she gives tons of extra credit and she's very helpful if you attend office hours. The Lon Capa homework can be really confusing but you have an entire week to do them. Overall, I found the class entertaining and I learned a lot.

This python course was a joke. I know as much coming out of it as I did going in, except maybe how to do extremely basic physical modeling in python. I do not recommend this class at all

She keeps the class very simple and doesn't give a ton of work. You dont need to go to lectures to learn the material but she takes attendance. Tests are really hard but she allows open book corrections.

Flipped classroom, so if you enjoy learning from a textbook/watching videos every day then take her. Physics tests are on Sundays 7-9 so you get 5 ruined weekends, you have homework due before every class & on Thursday nights. I recommend Hughes & Melnikov if you can get into their classes, but Dr. Weaver is okay for learning physics.

Dr. Weaver is a great professor. I took this class as someone who had never looked at code before and actually learned something out of it. It's mostly a "learn how to become a scientist" class with some python lessons. Its mandatory for Physics majors which makes sense, since it introduces you to pretty much everyone in the department

She does not teach, AT ALL. unless you already know physics you will struggle in this class.

Sweet lady but awful professor, do NOT take her for a Gen ed. There is no point even coming to class because she doesn't teach well. She knows what shes talking about but she has no idea how to teach it. When she answers questions she just makes things more confusing. She teaches the class like we already know everything.

She does not teach at all. She goes over the pre-class quiz for five minutes at the beginning of class and then you do group work for the entire class. I taught the material to myself with the textbook, and was still confused all the time. She also has assignments due on canvas at 5pm, which is extremely inconvenient. She never gives any feedback.

She grades fairly, answers questions well, and is fun to talk with about physics during her office hours.

Dr. Weaver is an incredibly understandable woman and genuinely cares about her students. So long as you are putting forward a good effort, she will always give you as much help as you need. She was incredibly reasonable with extensions when real life came up. Absolutely fantastic professor!
