Reviews of professor Kim Coble

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I really appreciate Dr. Coble's enthusiasm towards teaching! She is a very supportive figure in the classroom, and I look forward to her lectures. I've been lucky enough to have her through both my physics classes, and I would definitely recommend her. Her expectations and tests are clear, and she is always easy to approach with questions! Do hw!

Do not take her if you have other responsibilities because this class take up majority of you time from the endless amount of studying, projects that she likes to micro-manging and doing homework twice one on expert ta and physical worksheet. Overall her class was definitely built for high school physics compared college

Show up and do the homework and you should be fine. Exams are pretty straightforward and not super difficult. She also drops the lowest exam score. Offers extra credit if you need it. Drop by office hours if you need help on homework or clarification.

I loved Dr. Coble! She always had hands on activities to work on with others. Her grading was clear. Whenever I was confused I went to her office hours and she cleared everything up which made me feel smart after walking out. Plus she always emailed back even on the day before exams.

Dr Coble is amazing and really cares about her students! Class was very fun and very hands on. HW almost every week, tests were straight forward and easy to follow along with. The same materials covered in class appear on the exam. She's really awesome!!!!!

A lot of studying is needed; 3 exams, 1 is dropped, to keep an A: range for 70%+ on exams
Grading has no +/- so it was a pain to see my grade drop from an A to a B after the final
She offers a lot of extra credit opportunities so try to use it, but there's also weekly homework that takes hours to do, which exams are more similar to lectures and lab

Best professor I've had. Lectures were engaging with review of last class's topics at the beginning for a refresher then a new topic w/ in-class practice problems to try on our own and then as a class. Stay on top of HW and ask questions. My advice: find a good group in class to work with, go to office hours, and/or email her as much as you can.

Kim has to be one of the best professors I have had. This was the very first physics class I had ever taken and she made it as painless as possible. She was very straightforward with the structure of the class and the exams as well. Just show up and make sure you understand the material. She also lets you make your own "cheat sheet" for exams.
