This was one of the hardest courses I have taken to date. I definitely learned a lot, but couldn't stand how unfairly challenging the class was. Don't get me wrong, I like a challenge, but when the course is structured in such a way that the homework is many times more difficult than what is done in class and the concepts require mathematics that is beyond what is expected of students to know, it makes the course unfair. That said, Adenwalla has what it takes to be a good teacher. Hopefully some major restructuring of the course will happen and actually make it a course that is interesting and challenging without making you want to kill yourself.
Routinely made comments about not wanting to teach, how the class was unintelligent, and we were a waste of her time. Made me hate physics the entire semester-- and it's my major.

Confusing or hard to understand

Notes/lecture is confusing
Lacks enthusiasm in the classroom
Poor sense of humor
Professor does not relate to students
The homework assignments and tests are completely different, so even if you do the homework, you still have no idea what to except on the test. Confusing, made comments to the effect of not wanting to teach our class, and overall a poor experience.

Very nice teacher, but gives very difficult tests. If you go to class every day you can pass the class but if you dont put lots of effort into it you will fail. She teaches like an honors course teacher.
