Comment:

I can see Christine being a not great teacher for general 1st and 2nd year courses. However her ability to teach 4th year courses is fantastic. She uses modern, tangible material, and breaks down the course so that your strengths offset your weaknesses. I would highly suggest her as a seminar lecturer.

I'm not sure why Prof. Bruckert's ratings aren't higher. Genuinely enjoyed the class. She made sure to keep it relevant and introduce current events into our lectures. 2 really easy midterms and a final paper that requires no outside research. Definitely would take her again!

Comment:

She is an overall good prof! Interesting lectures and material make the course what it is, she always captured my attention by incorporating videos and even movies in the syllabus. The midterms were short answer and fill in the blank, while the final was a take-home essay. As long as you read the course pack and attend lectures, you'll do fine!

Comment:

Christine is extremely passionate about her work. She teaches the material with great detail, is up to date with contemporary issues, and is always available through email. You have to do the readings to pass, which is expected in university. The readings themselves are easy and enjoyable but make up a lot of the midterm and the final exam.

Comment:

As I normally am a B+ A student , I was disappointed and had my lowest mark of 5 years University in this class, though I did the brunt of the work, Showed up for every class and did the assignments. She races through the material and leaves you with incomplete class notes. I barely passed and it affected my GPA

Prof. Bruckert is a passionate and amazing professor. She knows what she is talking about and teachesgets the message across clearly. Do the readings, go to class and you will be fine for the midterms. Take-home exam 12 page paper - pretty simple. Great class! :)

Great professor. She makes class interesting by adding great videos and guest lecturers. It is absolutely possible to get an A. Go to class. Do the readings. Midterm is very fair, no trick questions. She also gives a GREAT tutorial before all midterms, goes over every article that will be on the exam.

She was a great prof! Very passionate and interesting to listen to. She uses a lot of videos & guest lecturers (who are also very interesting) and its all fair game for the midterm & exam.. she is a fair marker as long as you go to class, pay attention, and do your readings you will do great!

Very interesting topic, her thorough knowledge of the topic helped keep me interested and made the class more enjoyable overall. Her marking scheme was very fair for a fourth year course.

She's very passionate about the subject matter but you have to do alot of side work of your own to really grasp what she's trying to say. Too much use of old videos as well.

Comment:

STAY AWAY. Crazy broad. Seems like she knows what she is talking about, but if you ever meet her-- ask her about idiographic research or nominal and ordinal data. She will likely plug her ears and say "lalala I don't use those words" -- which is what she said to me. She is dumb as ****. Can't believe she was able to graduate.

Comment:

She's a good teacher because she actually forces you to listen and learn. I do agree that her tests are tough and she expects a bit too much with the short answers. I was in every class and took detailed notes and still didn't do great on tests. I think she's good at clearly giving you all the info you need, but is a bit too tough with marking.

I do not like her as a prof at all! She is a really unfair marker. She expects a lot, but isn't clear about what she wants, so she makes it hard to do well. I would never take her class again.

Comment:

Tough marker, you really have to work in her classes. It was not my best mark but in the end I learned so much from her. I really appreciate professors who actually introduce you to things you never thought about before and can change your entire views on life through one class. Chris is definitely one of those professors.
