Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Extra credit, curves, and partial credit help a lot, but students still describe tough exams and heavy homework as the real cost of getting an A.
Online evidence comes from one easy PHYS50 prep review, while in-person evidence shows a much harder physics workload.
Is the course easy?
The course content is physics-heavy, dense, and often fast or exam-driven even when the professor explains clearly.
The online PHYS50 prep review is easy, but the in-person PHYS4B, PHYS2A, and D004A reviews repeatedly describe challenging material.
Is attendance flexible?
Some reviews mark attendance as mandatory, while others say it is optional but important for keeping up.
The only online review marks attendance mandatory, and in-person reviews are mixed between mandatory and optional.
Is this professor recommended?
Most students recommend her for care, clarity, extra credit, and curves, but a vocal group warns about exams and workload.
Online evidence is positive but minimal, while in-person evidence is broad and mixed.

Remote format
Low confidence · Best fit for Easy A Hunter
The only online review describes PHYS50 as an easy prep class with lectures, quizzes, and cheap external homework.
Main concern
Evidence is thin because there is only one online review.
What students said
“Its a really easy class since its a prep class.”
“Mainly just lectures and quizzes.”
Exam style
Reviews show tough but curved exams with some formula support, and they do not clearly prove proctoring or open-book policies.
Assessment risk

“She also provides an equation sheet on the exam as well as an integral sheet with common integrals used in the problems.”
“The grade is almost 70% finals and midterms.”
The online review mentions quizzes but does not clearly prove proctoring, webcam, open-book, midterm, or final policy.
“Mainly just lectures and quizzes.”
Student evidence
Top student voice
“Physics is tough but not the professor.”
“She explains clearly with helpful illustrations and truly cares about students.”
“With effort, an A is not impossible.”
