If you are looking for a good physics class even though you suck at any mathematical. Dr. D'Amato is the professor you should take. She is very nice, caring, and gives you a lot of points to make up your grade. Probably the best professor in the whole physics department.

I love Dr. D'Amato, most caring professor I've had yet! Can't wait to have her again. I learned so much, absolutely loved her lectures, and yet did not feel that the class was unbearingly difficult. WHAT A GEM.

Comment:
I had Dr. D'Amato for the "Finding Your Life Purpose" writing seminar. Solid teacher. She's a fairly easy grader, but the way her grading system makes it easy to get an A- and harder to get an A. Papers are mostly what count, so spend time on them and have her proof them outside of class.

A very involved and time consuming class. All lectures are mandatory, the textbook reading are crucial, her online reading are crucial, and doing the homework is an absolute must.

Take FYW 1113 w/ Dr. D'Amato! I really enjoyed it. The papers are easy, she tells you exactly what she wants and will edit your paper and give it back to you before giving a grade. You can easily get by without reading for every class. Participate in normal discussion and she will LOVE you. She in not biased. Subject matter is interesting. TAKE!!!

Comment:
My new favorite! SO helpful and tries SO hard to make sure everyone understands. Gives plenty of opportunity for extra credit. Daily reading quizzes, attendance points, 3 or 4 term tests, and a cumulative final. Do problems, come to class, and it'll be an easy A! Be sure to take advantage of her office hours!

Comment:
This class was a joke, not the professor's fault, Physics 111 is just an incredibly easy class. That being said, D'Amato is an amazing teacher, Ive seen her outside of class many times and she is always willing to help. I usually prefer teachers that don't spoon feed the information, but it was still a very enjoyable class. Would take again. EASY A

Dr. D'Amato's great. She's possibly the most helpful professor at Furman, and absolutely the nicest. She grades very fairly and you know what to expect on the tests. Do the homework, and her class is a pretty easy B for most people, or A for science-minded people.

Very good professor. Great teacher. The reading was suppose to be required in the class, but we never had a quiz or anything on them, so no one ever did them. Pretty much show up to class and do the papers and you get an easy grade.

Took her for physics 11. The class was engaging, she used demonstrations and movies, etc. You get to use a notecard for every test and if you like physics the class is fairly easy

I never had physics before. Power points and lectures are very helpful. Notecards for tests and quizzes are a huge help. She's always there to help you.

Don't take the class if you've had physics in high school, unles you want to be pretty bored. I did learn some neat things about the physics of everyday life, but it was definitely not the math-based physics I enjoyed in high school.

Such a nice lady. However, her lecturing could be much better- not always confident as a speaker. Will go out of her way to answer questions for you. She might be too nice.

This is a class for non-majors, and it's non-lab. Dr. D'Amato is a very kind teacher and very helpful. She uses a lot of demonstrations to help with the class's understanding.

multiple choice questions on the tests can be tricky. nice to have a notecard for each chapter. lectures can sometimes be confusing... you might have to teach yourself stuff. powerpoints are helpful. extremely kind and genuine.
