Reviews of professor Laura Adams

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I think Laura was actually a pretty good professor. Physics is just difficult, so if you weren't willing to put in the work, you obviously weren't going to do well. She is a really caring person who goes out of her way to give back points and help those who are struggling. I went to her office hours a lot and she really helped me with some topics

This is her first-semester teaching so she deserves some slack, but this class is just so painful with her as a professor. She's very intelligent and sweet and I have nothing against her as a person, I just find it very difficult to learn from her. She flies through the basics and expects us to have a prior understanding that is unattainable.

She does not posses the ability to communicate concepts effectively. The way she explains problems in class is only useful if you already know everything. Her tone is lackluster and she often skips explanations entirely. If you take her class, be prepared to have to teach yourself all of the material on your own as if you do not have a professor.

Exams are tough. There are better professors at the university of minnesota that are way more helpful when it comes to grading compared to her.
