Comment:
This is quite possibly the worst class I have ever taken in my entire life. The quizzes she makes are borderline impossible and have nothing to do with the actual labs. The tutorial videos are old and unhelpful. She made us switch lab partners every week, which somehow made the class more stressful. Take this class at community college instead.

UH HAS TO do something about the physics labs and science department in general. I have no idea how you are supposed to prepare for these quizzes. The fact that most people bomb them should be indication enough that there needs to be a fundamental and structural change in these classes. Label all ur units and focus on doing well on the lab reports

UH needs to do something about these physics labs, I can't even express how horrible they are. this professors quizzes are a nightmare, impossible to study for, and I did not feel prepared for any of the quizzes or the final at any point in the semester. seriously, if u can take this lab ANYWHERE else, do it. good luck!!

Comment:
She dismissed the difficulties of students taking quizzes. In 2021 she overrode my grade to zero, because, she couldn't see my face, hands, upper body, and scratch paper while calculating, I emailed her she said "I will not discuss this further" she doesn't care for her students and would rather silence her students' concerns.

Comment:
This is by far the worst professor at the university. I can barely understand what he says and he needs to learn how to teach. Every time I asked this hairy clown for help he would just get annoyed and frustrated for no reason. Someone please tell the dean to fire him I do not think teaching is for him.

Comment:
Just don't take physics labs at UH with Dr. Maric. The quizzes and final are over questions that have nothing to do with the actual experiments. Averages on quizzes and finals are consistently below 50% but as long as you score around the average you're guaranteed a B. Please save yourself the headache, take this class elsewhere.

Comment:
actual labs=easy. quizzes= Qs not over the lab, and asking u to derive equations the quizzes were very hard, with very low averages. what is the point of making them so difficult. the phys1302 tests were much easier than this lab. the final ave was a 42%. Why havent they changed this format? why is the school ok with this?

Comment:
Physics lab is one of the most time consuming classes i have ever taken at UH. 5 quizzes, 1 final. The quizzes and final are structured in a way where the answer to the second question relies on the answer to the first, so each question is unsolvable unless you get the first one correct. If you get the first question wrong, you pretty much failed.

Horrible. She is the worst professor in the entire history. She has designed this course so the students will fail no matter what we do. The quizzes and final have nothing to do with the lab that we do. The TA doesn't even know what is going on. Take at a community college if you can

Comment:
Pre-Labs and Experiments were relatively easy although small mistakes can result in large deductions. The Quizzes and Final Exams are generally not reflective of the content or experiments and the quiz average was generally around 30-40%. Class experience is also heavily dependent on a good TA since they can help immensely during the experiments

Comment:
This physics lab was the worst class i have ever taken at UH. My TA took points off for the tiniest things. I did well on the experiments and failed just about every quiz. I don't think they care if you actually learned the material as the quizzes intentionally try to trick you. I didn't think this class was going to be as bad as people said it was

A nightmare. I would study for the quizzes and just end up guessing. The prelab and experiments are fairly easy. The quizzes will tank your grade, and youd prob end up guessing on the final. Dont even bother emailing her because youd prob end up worse, shes passive aggressive. I hope she finds peace in her life, because she makes ours difficult

I hoped that I would get into an accident every time I had to drive to this class. Absolutely hated it. I am usually a straight-A student but no matter how much I studied for this class, I did badly in quizzes. NO CURVE. Doesn't respond to emails. TAs all grade differently. Final is awful. Just drop out at this point. She has no sympathy. Just bad.

hardest class at UH and its just a lab! harder than orgo and thermodynamics combine. why? because the quizzes are very hard to do well in and they are hard to study for. The Final as well was very difficult. I ended with a horrible grade but still managed to get a B. Idk how the class was brutal but the curve went crazy. good luck folks...

Having a good TA is the key here. The course is violently difficult. The quizzes are nearly impossible for any student taking any other courses. No formula sheets on quizzes. Memorize everything you can and how to apply it. The lab manuals required but the info in it isnt enough. Outside help will be needed.

I made an account just to leave this review. Worst professor I have EVER had. She has no regard for her students. No compassion, no understanding just cold. The quizzes always average at 50 and the final is impossible. If you care about your GPA DO NOT TAKE HER. I promise taking her course will only leave you frustrated, stressed and angry.

She is nearly impossible to reach and seems to show no regard for her students. I emailed her because I was sick and rather than helping get through the course, she just suggested I take it in a different semester. Her average for her quizzes is less than a 50 each time. Something is not right.

I heard and saw the reviews of this class and I thought oh how bad can it be? YEAH, IT'S BAD. The lab reports honestly depend on which TA you would get and luckily my TA was pretty nice. However, she made the final so fricking hard the average was a 40. She is also so bad at replying to emails. I want to give her a zero just like how she did to us

I came into this class hoping Prof Maric would not be as bad as the reviews said. Sadly, I was very wrong. Quizzes and Final does not reflect what is learned in lab, and are ridiculously difficult. Grading is unclear, she changed quiz grades without explanation. Prof is difficult to contact and rarely replies. Stay away from this course if you can.
