Reviews of professor Noha Waly

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I had Professor Waly for PHYS 218 lab. Professor Waly is a tough grader, and will take off points whereever possible. Her lectures are okay, she goes over the homework on the board and that's about it. The directions on labs/HWs are extremely unclear, but you can always email her to clarify, she responds relatively quickly.

Wasnt clear with instructions on most assignments and very difficult to understand. When confronted with questions she did not understand shes very quick to simply walk away without answering questions, basically teach yourself physics.

I had her for the lab section only of physics 251. In the lab, she is excellent and shows great knowledge of what she is teaching. Her accent can be difficult at times but you get used to it. She gives prelabs a week ahead of time. She explains any questions about what is going on during the experiments and lets students explore and hypothesize

Class I took was discussion based. We didn't have traditional lectures which I struggled with in the beginning. We just talked through problems as a class or with lab partners. She is very knowledgable about the subject and cares about her students! If you aren't used to participating in class be prepared, you will get called on.

Gives good lectures that are easy to understand. If you don't understand something and you tell her she will explain the subject to you in a new way. She always responded to my questions about the homework on weekends through email. She really cares if her students pass.

Very good professor. Lectures are discussion-based with minimal note-taking. She will hand out class activities to complete each day. She gives plenty of extra credit and will work with you if you are falling behind. She really cares for her students and wants them to succeed.
