Comment:

For a boring course, she made it as engaging and enjoyable as possible. Not only that, extremely helpful and approachable. It's easy to connect with her, and she is also one of the more easier graders I've seen. I'd definitely recommend a class with Dr. Stafford!

Comment:

Dr. Stafford is the best prof I've had at MUN to this day. She is so intensely passionate about philosophy, and her lectures, far from being boring, cookie-cutter factsheets, make you actually think and stay with you after the class has ended. She's so engaging and so, so sweet. She is the reason I am doing a Philosophy degree!

Comment:

While I found her alright to talk to personally, in class she is boring and expects everyone to have deep intellectual insights on everything when most of us are fighting a losing battle to keep our eyes open. But if you try to pay attention and take good notes, you should do ok.

Comment:

Toni's a passionate teacher, but her articulation's very unclear b/c she doesn't simplify. She can be friendly, but she's also a bit off-balance - definitely the 'hit or miss' type, so I'd plan my visits accordingly.

An engaging prof. If you don't go to class and expect to get by on notes, don't bother. Explains the material very well. One of the best profs I've had so far.

Comment:

Very clear with subject matter. Managed to handle complex topics in a manner which made it significantly easier. If you don't go to her classes, you won't be able to copy notes from others (her board notes are haphazard and random), but if you actually go to class, pay attention, contribute and work, you have little chance of doing badly.

I hated her. She was disorganized, unclear, unprofessional, never gave notes...taught class like it was a second or third level course...very very boring. Save yourself the anguish and suffering...take my advice

Comment:

i would consider this philosophy class one of the most agonizing things i've ever gone through. It's impossible to have any type of reasonable dialogue with her. She treats students like ignorant infants, forgetting that she is teaching a ****ing INTRODUCTORY COURSE. she's the epitome of the intellectual elitist. save yourself the bother.

Comment:

Found her class a little boring and difficult to go along with. She's helpful where possible but spend most classes going over simple grammer issues. We are not in high school anymore. If people are having grammer problems they can go to the writing center.

She is a very nice lady, but a bit confusing when explaining things. And I wish she didn't show up late for class all the time.

She's crazy & cheesy...but she knows her stuff. Very smart woman & willing to help anyone who shows interest. Thought I learned nothing until after the term was over & I started talking to people about it. Learned ALOT.
