Reviews of professor Elaheh Sigari

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She gives incredible pre lecture videos so you understand the topic before class. The midterms and the final were difficult but she gives a lot of extra credit.

Her lectures were mediocre, she was decent at teaching concepts. Her pre-lecs and lecs could be confusing concept-wise sometimes, but overall they got the job done and were just okay. The assignments, lecture problems, and pre-lecture/concept quizzes she gives are a big help. It'll take some work but it's not too hard to pass with a decent grade.

Sigari is a kind and knowledgable lab professor. If you ask her for help, she is there to help you. Her grading is very fair.

Didn't attend many lectures tbh (already took AP Physics 1). Lectures are solid and helpful, but a bit quiet. Lots are on Canvas too. Doesn't like people w/ electronics during lectures.

Minimal HW, mostly just review quizzes for lectures/tests (most of the Q's show up verbatim on the test). FRQ require showing a good amt. of work but they're fair.

Sigari's PHYS50 class is the first ever physics where I was able to actually learn and understand mechanics concepts. I've taken many physics classes and I could never understand anything until I took this class. To do good in this class, just understand the problems asked in class and in homeworks and you're good

Lectures were pretty chill. There were demos here and there depending on the topic being discussed in class. There were a total of 6 quizzes throughout the semester. To study I would suggest reviewing the pdfs the professor posts. Do that and you should be able to do well. No final exam, instead the professor lets you retake a max of 2 quizzes.

Professor S. demonstrated great passion and interest in teaching the course and very much wanted to share that passion with students.Was extremely helpful in providing resources such as in-class lecture, per-lecture videos, practice quizzes and additional problems from textbook. She 100% prepared students for the actual quizzes within her class.

The exams are only 6 quizzes. It is lecture heavy. The review questions are useful to prepare you for the quizzes. Gives you the chance to retake two of quizzes. Very patient with students. The grading is fair,

Sigari is a demanding yet caring professor. Her class is not easy but it is also engaging. If you are willing to put in the effort, you will learn a great deal from this class
