The exams are horrendous, the hw is long, but the lectures are the best I've seen in Madison so far.

Dr. Everett was a good lecturer, but also extremely kind. I met with her once to discuss my difficulties with the class, and she was incredibly understanding, helpful, and friendly.

Professor Everett cares a lot about the wellbeing of her students. If you do poorly on an exam or homework, you can go talk to her and she will let you redo hw or an exam problem. Very willing to give partial credit when grading a well. Lectures are derivation heavy, and the home works take ages. Still, a great teacher for this difficult material.

Quality 4/5Difficulty 5/5
Made it her personal mission to take us through the entirety of Griffiths' Electrodynamics in 1 semester. By far the hardest physics course I've ever taken, but grading is very generous (partial credit for explaining where your solution might have gone wrong, writing down relevant equation even if you don't plug in, etc.)

She likes to call her students crazy lol and creeps on them in her spare time.
