Caring and relatable prof with kind grading rubrics for exams. Honestly lectures are unnecessary if you are capable of self-study due to the nature of the course content. If you are able to tackle and make a solid effort on 60+% of the problems from the textbook I'd say you are 90% likely to get an A.

This class felt like she was throwing equations at us and we had no clue where they were coming from. The amount of work was also ridiculous since she changed the format going online - she even said that the graders were constantly overwhelmed. If you put in the work (and check solutions!), though, you will get a good understanding of the material.

She's not bad! Gives great real life illustrations. Always hands out plenty of practice materials before the exam. Doesn't do the best at explaining complex topics, but does REALLY well with simple Mechanics explaining

Prof. Crone is an intelligent professor and very helpful in office hours and with questions. Her lectures are extremely boring though and hurt my interest in the subject because she takes way too long on algebra and simple math. There's also a ridiculous amount of homework that doesn't really help with learning or the test. Discussions are key.

Professor Crone is an incredibly intelligent professor, but wow her lectures were incredibly boring. The content learned in this course seemed interesting, but most of the time was spent brushing over the derivations and instead doing long calculations. Homework took a long time and was tough to reap valuable information from.
