What is the retirement age at StFX? Anyone know? I do believe it is time that this one retires. very condescending lady. Make sure you are one of her favourites, if not you are left out. What a disappointment.

She is awesome! The class is tough, but she will do everything she can to make sure you pass, but you do have to work for it. She knows what she is talking about and loves what she dose. If all profs were like her then scholl would be alot more enjoyable! Such a sweet lady!

Comment:
Not such a nice lady. Students get extra points for joining her choir but the ones that do not for one reason or another-have no other chance to earn extra points. Totally unfair. It's an EXclusive policy and should not be allowed-this is university.

Such a nice lady! You really feel as if she cares about your sucess, and that you're more than a name to check off the attendance sheet. At the same time, don't take her unless you're COMITTED-- you will need to study. It probably wouldn't hurt to try and figure out what dependant clauses are beforehand, too...

Wants everyone to do well. She's a sweetheart, and will do what it takes to get you through the course. Tough class, but not if you do the work. She's very passionate about her teaching, which is refreshing.

She's the best language prof. you could ask for. While it isn't an easy class she does do her best to help struggling students and understands that some people are taking the class as an elective. If you do the work though you can get a VERY good mark. I got high 90s my first year.

In my two years, hands down, the best prof I've had. She is extremely pleasant and helpful. This is the type of class everyone looks forward to. I urge everyone to elect her for the teacher of the year award. Don't take the course if you don't want to learn Gaelic, it takes alot of time and effort.

Catriona is everything other professors should look up to. She's extremely knowledgable and approachable, she want you to do well. She gets the whole class involved, she takes her time and doesn't floor you with work. This is not a bird course, take it only if you're interested in Gaelic.

She is a great prof. If you're not good at languages, avoid Gaelic - but she wants you to pass, and really wants you to take Gaelic as far as you can. Very Kind, can get somewhat upset if you don't hand things in on time, but she is very forgiving.
