Reviews of professor Julia Laskin

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Absolutely no quality control in lab. Multiple experiments didn't work and we were punished harshly for the grades thatoutside of our control. If you don't mention one arbitrary thing in each section of the lab report that isn't told to us, you get 0 credit for the section.

There are many writing assignments in this course, they are frustrating and difficult and everyone got a low score. Do not take this course.

You have to work on the labs, papers, and hw for 15+ hrs a week and if you ask for any help, the prof and TAs will tell you "I don't know" because the "cheating" policy is inane (they'll hide students' Qs on the online forum). They also don't know how to use solver, doesn't teach you it, and then marks points off if you do not get it exactly right.

I have enjoyed having Dr. Laskin as a professor, she clearly knows what she is talking about. She gives students information in lecture that is applicable to exams. Great lecturer!

If you do not do well on the first lab report, do not fear! So did everyone else. Dr. Laskin makes sure that everyone is able to improve by providing detailed feedback and adjusting her methods if students are not doing well. The class seems overwhelming at first, but you will quickly learn to manage your time.

Awful course, the most difficult course I have ever taken in my whole life. I spent 20 hours per week on this course, I think I got depression because of this course
