Reviews of professor Michelle Girvan

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Girvan is a great choice for physics II, her grading method is very helpful. Lectures come straight from the book, but she explains the topics well. Doing well on the mastering physics homework will help your grade.

Michelle Girvan is great! A genuine angel. I'm currently taking PHYS270 and Girvan most certainly gave me the best experience out of the three general physics classes. Breaks down the information and doesn't dump too much work on your head at once. Doesn't grade too harshly and absolutely gives you everything you need to succeed.

She has no idea how to teach an undergraduate physics course. I took E and M with her PHYS272, and it was a complete wreck. never uses the chalkboard, only lecture slides filled with screenshots of the textbook so there is little to no additional information she brings to the course. Would not consider taking her again for any course.
