Susan Watson

Professor Susan Watson is a really good teacher. Mechanics as the very basic of physics, she has taught it in a very comprehensive and detailed way, which I believe would benefit you a lot if you want to pursue a physic career in the future. Those questions in the homework and exams are really great and thought provoking, but sometimes unnecessarily hard, especially as people's first physics course at midd. Her lecture would be pretty inspiring and enlightening if you have already had a quite thorough understanding about those materials. But if you are not, it would be hard to survive. Generally speaking, I think her teaching style is more suitable for well prepared students instead of someone who expects to learn something completely new to them.

I think that she is a good teacher but that the department pressures people to go into 109 too easily --like if you've taken any physics thing ever they don't put you in 108, but then they move through the course work as if everyone has already taken AP Physics and AP Physics C: Mechanics. A lot of people obviously have, but then it makes it really difficult for those who really don't have much experience because they already expect you to be familiar and understand all the topics/units.

Physics 202 is a very challenging but interesting course. The course material could be very difficult to pick up on but Professor Watson did a very good job of explaining new concepts clearly and concisely. The problem sets could be challenging but were doable if you worked with peers and attended office hours.
