Susan Watson

Professor Watson is very enthusiastic and accommodating. However, she is very strict in terms of grading. If you do not follow her exact methodology you are subject to losing a lot of points on exams and homework. There was also too much homework. 2 weekly problem sets and corrections for those each week, that came out to 4 assignment submissions per week.

There is so much homework - between labs and problem sets there is always something that you have to be working on. Don't get behind! Even with all of that work, most of your grade relies on the exams. Professor is available, but hard to "click" with.

Prof. Watson is extremely kind and is very enthusiastic about the material, but I found this class to be challenging. I spent many hours every week on homework for this class which was graded harshly and for very little credit. Exams were similarly graded: in this class there is not more than one way to do the problem, if you don't approach it the same way as the prof it will be marked wrong even if you show your work and have the right answer.
