Comment:
I don't know if I was more scared to see her, or if I was more scared to not see her, because she might see me.. She was very clear in all explanations, but I felt like I was going to get a stapler across the face at any moment. On the bright side, here in St. John's I make no Excel errors, because I'm afraid she will drive out to beat me senseless

Comment:
Often times Darlene gets labelled as just extremely mean and ruthless but that's not completely true. She expects a lot out of you and doesn't have time for nonsense. She definitely knows her stuff and has a passion for physics. If you listen to what she says and perform your labs carefully you won't mind, and may actually like Darlene English.

Come prepared. Read the labs and make notes so you know what you are trying to do. Don't waste her time asking obvious stuff like: Do I have to put points on my graph? She knows her stuff and does not like worthless time-wasters.

By far the worst professorlab instructor I've had at MUN. She degrades, insults and generally treats her students badly. If your an engineering student then get ready for a bad time, you'll get no respect.

Comment:
Generally insufferable lab instructor. Pompous, inconsiderate, and spiteful. If ever you find yourself needing to take this course, don't mess with anything in the lab. Also, don't ask about anything in the lab prior to messing it up, she doesn't like that. Do not miss prelabs, submerge partially in water, or feed after 12pm.

Comment:
Really clear and thorough with her explanations. IF you have the nerve to ask for help, she will answer. However, she will make you feel like a complete idiot. The only word to describe how she grades labs is "wow." Be prepared to lose a mark for tying up your shoes the wrong way.

Comment:
She is not only one of the worst instructors I have ever had the displeasure of meeting, but she is also simply a horrible person. If your in engineering she will have a personal vendetta against you. She is not at all helpful and openly puts students down for seemingly no reason. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Darleen came off to me as not a helpful person at all. She seemed pretty mean too. But once you got to know her she seemed alright

Terribly lab instructor. isnt interested in helping students to understand material, rather she assumes if you dont understand the concept you are to be beliddeled and made fun of, but not helped. grades really hard and not personable. her assistant instructor was very helpful however. without him i would have done ver very poorly.

Darlene is indeed a wondefful person. Her charming personality puts me at ease while taking part in physics labs every Tuesday morning. Her soothing words when answering questions make me realize I can do good and I am not stupid. (...this is just in case darlene is reading this, if you want something close to the truth, go visit hell)

She is the reason I'm not taking physics again next semester. She's rude and not helpful. Thumbs down.

After taking 1020 and 1021, I realized that she really just wants you to put some effort in. If you ask a stupid question, she'll respond with a stupid answer. Tough grader, but now that I am past first year I realize how much she prepared us for the labs.

Pretty bad when someone is paying money to be in a class and the lab instructor is very rude when she is asked a question.

Comment:
Mrs. English was a very stern professor when I had her. Any attempt to connect to her socially was brutally put down haha. She knows her material but sometimes the message is lost with the other irrelevant info. I honestly did not feel comfortable in her lab and it was really really long.

Extremely rude. She'll answer your question, but only after she makes you feel stupid.

She can be a very intimating person at first, snippy with the questions. I figure she's just tired of first years though, cause once you are more than "just" a student to her, she is really quite nice. I wouldn't recommend her if a little insult makes you tear up, but if you can get past that, one of the best teachers of Physics around.
