Reviews of professor Sylvanie Wallington

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She can teach extremely well, when she explained anything I remembered and understood it. The first concept is a bit confusing but its gets easier. About 4 quizzes and weekly hw. 2 exams and a super easy project. The hw is graded on completion and the quizzes can sometimes be a little challenging - should be fine if you study and pay attention

To be honest, this professor is among the best. She literally gives off mom vibes when she treats her students like her own children and genuinely wants everyone to succeed. She makes a special effort to ensure that her lectures and theorems are clear. This is coming from a student who has never taken physics in high school before PHYS 1401 / 1402.

The most amazing professor I've ever taken. Attendance isn't mandatory but her lectures are very helpful and her demos are cool. She's very generous when grading and the textbook is free! Professor Wallington genuinely cares about you learning and is very quick to respond to emails. She's simply the best!

I didnt have Professor Wallington for the lecture part of this class but I had her for lab and she was such a hard grader when it came to our labs. She acted like we were supposed to be professional physicists when doing an online lab. Make one wrong calculation? Shell hake at least 5 points off. She was a nice person but her grading was annoying

Overall, decent intro level class, especially if you want to knock out a Q and a Lab at the same time. Everything you need is in the lecture notes! Tests can be tricky, so read the slides carefully. Prof. Wallington is passionate about her field, and rewards students for participating & asking questions. Big curve at the end, so it's hard to fail.

Everybody fails the exams, don't worry she curves the exams hard. The homework takes forever and is generally much harder than what is taught in class. Most people get A/B in the class. Attendance not mandatory except for labs, but you should show up if you want a good grade.

Took her for 1401 & 1402 and she is the best professor at UCONN. If you want to do well in class, go to her lectures, do the homework, and ask questions! She's always available and truly cares about you learning the material. The class itself is not hard, she makes concepts super simple and she's very generous when grading quizzes and exams.

Professor Wallington is okay. Her course isn't hard but her teaching style isn't helpful and her tests often have trick questions. Study guides aren't too helpful and coursework doesn't matter much just the exams really. Most of my classmates got below a 75 on the midterm so that's all you need to know.

Pro. Wallington is an amazing professor she cares about everyone passing her class! As long as you listen to her lectures and do the hw which is super easy a 10 year old could do it , you should be good.
