    "comment": "Ellen doesn't know how to teach. She is very knowledgeable in the field of physics, but I wouldn't have known it by attending her lectures alone. She attempts to provide demos that never work out correctly, and she doesn't check to see if students have questions. When she does try to answer student questions, she usually ends up confusing the class",
