PHY3063: HONORS MODERN PHYSICS

  • Qualities of instructor which contributed to success of the course

    Always available outside of class, enthusiastic, wants students to improve


  • Qualities of instructor which hindered success of the course

    Information presented too quickly in class, would be helpful if she gave out printed lecture notes, too much information in too short of a time, difficult course


  • Opinions of course, including printed material

    Textbook is terrible and needs to be changed, too much material is being covered for a 1 semester class, structure of the course fits too many topics into one semester, texbook lacking in complete derivations and decent explanations, textbook has too many mistakes and too verbose for a physics class, too many errors in text in physics problems


  • Additional comments to improve overall quality of the course

    Should be more examinations, provide printed material add an extra exam b/c there was too much material on the first exam, three exams plus a final is better than the two that we had


  • Any other comments

    Have a test on just chapters 1-2


  • Did you feel that the material was covered with sufficient depth of an honors course? (Please keep in mind that we are obligated to cover the majority of material in the text; we have limited ability to reduce the number of topics covered.)

    yes, depth was good for each topic, one person said "no"
