Comment:
She's a very nice professor, understanding yet firm when she needs to be. Quite frankly, she sets an example for the rest of the department. Although the course was difficult, I feel as if she is a great person to guide you through its challenges. I can tell she really wants you to do well.

Comment:
Ruxandra was such a fantastic prof! She was caring, always willing to answer student questions, and thoroughly clear at explaining. The lectures are fast paced, especially in the beginning, but don't get too scared because it's all in the textbook and the problem sets/tests are fair.

Comment:
Ruxandra is an amazing professor! She is caring, her lectures are amazing, and all the assignments made sense. She made sure to answer all the questions she received and work on her lectures from these questions. However, her lectures were extremely fast-paced and that was a big shock in the beginning. The class was a breeze, though!

Fun prof, lectures are easy to understand, and problem sets aren't too rough, just time consuming. Love her in-class demonstrations!

Comment:
A nice person but won't really pay attension to students in lecture - doing her own blackboard writing almost all the time. Problem sets are lengthy. Exams are fine if you go to every tutorial and do the problem sets. A great deal of problems in the exam are similar to what you have seen, so won't be too hard.

Comment:
Very clear lecturer. Serbanescu expected students to keep up with the material and solve problems from the textbook without assigning homework. Second year university student should be able to handle this responsibly, but it seemed that many students did not solve problems and so found the course challenging. Very approachable professor!

Comment:
Prof. Serbanescu was intimidating in first year physics, it's true, but can you blame her? She's dealing with swarms of mark-grubbing premeds. In the upper level course I took, she was great. Very, very nice.

She looks unapproachable, but is actually VERY helpful... needs to work on her appearance, I guess. A good coordinator
