Laura Lising PHYS115 Anonymous 10/23/2024	This class is not difficult at all, but it is such a waste of time. The class is 2 hours long and 3 days a week and we spend most of every class sitting around doing nothing. The one time our TA taught the class because Professor Lising was not there, we got out in 40 minutes. The actual material from the class is very straightforward forward, but Professor Lising makes the class so slow pace that it becomes very frustrating and feels like a waste of time to be there. Especially when we have already completed the entire worksheet for the day in the first 10 minutes of class. Professor Lising is very understanding and accommodating, but she takes a very long time to explain simple concepts which makes the entire class feel pointless.
Laura Lising PHYS115 Expecting an A- ccampbell 01/10/2024	When I told people I was taking physics, they all thought I was crazy however I'm glad I did. This class is not super difficult because you know more than you think, and Professor Lising pulls out your own knowledge. In class there is a lot of partner activities with your lab partner. The experiments are not all boring, matter of fact one of the things we did in class was make ice cream with heavy cream, sugar, and liquid nitrogen. We also attempted to light a lightbulb with pickles. Professor Lising is so helpful if you need help. She will stay after class or come early to go over with you what you are confused about. She is also very good with on the spot questions. The best thing Professor Lising did was allow us to resubmit our final for a higher grade and that made all the difference for me. If you're an education major and looking for a physical lab science PHYS115 is a great option ONLY WITH Professor Lising!!!
Laura Lising PHYS115 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/21/2022	Professor Lising was a good teacher for this particular course. She spends lots of time going over each lesson and walks around to make sure everyone understands the lesson. I did think that sometimes her teaching methods were a little confusing, because she would be very hypothetical and would make us do a lot of work before actually explaining the concept. Class was 2 hours long so boring at times but overall not difficult, especially since exams were open note.
Laura Lising PHYS115 Expecting an A- Anonymous 10/07/2022	Laura Lising is a great professor! The other reviews are pretty accurate- she really cares about her students and will go above and beyond to help (as long as you ask, of course). The only (very small) drawback to this class is that it is 2 hours long so sometimes it drags on. Also, her exams are open note and she will do her best to help you if you need clarification on a question. And if you have accommodations, she is flexible and understanding!
Laura Lising PHYS115 Expecting an A Anonymous 04/14/2022	I love Prof Lising! She is a really great teacher and makes sure that all of her students understand what is being taught! She really likes to have fun with the class and is always circling the room helping people out with their work! Exams were open note and notes were based off of these packets she gave us. Everything was straightforward and she was great! i highly recommend Professor Lising! This class is only available in the fall so make sure you plan around that!
