Reviews of professor Arunima Singh

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
If you have taken AP Physics before, this class is your best choice by far. She offers extra credit on all her tests and doesn't take any attendance.

Honestly if you are good at physics youll be fine but if you arent her lectures just confused you more. Her first test is so easy but after that the class gets harder and the test are 10 questions multiple choice so good luck with that. No curves for anything and no extra credit. Id take literally anyone else.

The lectures had me dozing off. The final exam screwed everyone over, especially after being told it was multiple choice then it ended up being a free response. It was the worst exam ever. Make sure to do well on the first two exams. There is not much homework. This professor knows what she is talking about, but does not execute the material well.

Prof. didn't show up for half of the lectures, and left us with a substitute lecturer the last month of the semester. Insanely difficult homework compared to lecture material. You will need to read the textbook and learn physics on your own if you want to pass this class. Average score on the final was 45%, which should tell you something.

Lectures have a good mix of example problems and explanations. If you are focused in lecture and do the homework the class is easy. If you don't try to learn the material the exams are hard. The practice exam is extremely similar to the exams. Dr. Singh is happy to answer questions and is available for frequent office hours.

It was great that the professor would write digital notes to help break down what was on the slide during lectures. She also had live demonstrations to show to the class rather than have us always looking to only the screen.

Boring lectures and lots of homework but the two exams are easy and have 20% extra credit each. Final is much more difficult, mostly free response and heavily emphasizes the last unit. Midterms combined are 40% of grade, and final is 35%. I did pretty bad on the final but the extra credit and lenient grade scale only dropped me from an A+ to a B+.

Professor Singh was a solid professor, but sometimes hard to understand in lectures. I personally took AP Physics 1 and this class was basically a review of that. Attendance was not mandatory so I ended up just doing the homework and tests and I got by fine. If you have already taken physics 1 this is a good class to take.

Dr. Singh taught our class for almost a month before quitting, citing covid concerns. Instead of continuing on zoom or another online option, she got a very poor-quality lecturer to take over. Although she attended the first few replacement classes on zoom, she never made an effort to inform him what we had covered in class and he ignored students.
