Comment:

Decent job teaching, but either spends too little or too much time on a particular topic. Class is falling asleep some days. Interested in the students and helping them succeed. Marking is too subjective.

I loved this class. She picked such interesting material. I was totally interested in it. Going to class is a must though, she goes over the material and gives great insight into them which really helps for the tests. Take this class.

Comment:

I also enjoyed this class. I felt I took a lot of content away from it, and am seeing examples of course material in the world around me. If you do the work and the readings (which were enjoyable) you will do well. I got an 80+ by doing just the basics. Overall I did sometimes find the lectures a bit boring, but it was a rewarding class for me. A+

Comment:

Horrible prof! Critical thinking questions can bite me. She doesn't explain what she wants from the questions because "each person will have different questions" but has no problem slashing your answers once you hand them in. I don't think she even reads them, she pegs you at a grade and that's what you get. All class discussion no prof.lecturing.

Um right. She is moody and does play favourites. Lecturing she doesn't establish eye contact in fact she stares at the ceiling. Her lectures will put you to sleep. But interesting material though if you get past the sound of snoring in class.

The class could have been more interesting, but I didn't find her teaching that bad. It is hard to get a good mark.

Comment:

Plays favorites...moody and senile. No tests and that means that her exam was tough and bad marks all around. No sympathy. Marks essays stupidly and no one gets higher than 75%, no matter how good you write (or if she likes you of course).

Comment:

Very odd, she's Catholic but talks like a liberal protestant. Dishes up drek like the JEDP theory to unsuspecting students. I wouldn't take her course to learn anything about Catholicism unless you want to learn about heresy.

Comment:

Taking two classes in a year really showed me that she gave marks based on if she liked you. The material was good, but her lectures sucked ass. She relied too much on notes, and the course lacked in tests to see were you stood in the class.
