Comment:

Worst advisor ever!! She refused to sign me into a course i needed, because i wasn't in a program that needed to have taken it in the first year. She is rude, condecending, and doesn't care about her students. She tries to scare them, and does nothing to help students.

Comment:

She is the worst course coordinator in the world. She was completely rude in her emails to me. She stood at the front of the class and lied to everybody. She cant organize the course worth a crap. I think she must have little mans syndrome. Hint to everybody: dont take biology until she has not part in it whats so ever!!!

Comment:

Hot helpful at all, you are just a student number to her, and she doesn't care if you ever graduate. Is very intimidating and makes you feel stupid. She doesn't make any time for you, and makes you feel like you're wasting her time during the appointment that you had to book a week in advance.

Comment:

She is a horrible woman. After a screw up on the administrative side of a project of mine, I emailed her, and she somehow believed it was MY fault that no one had accepted or rejected the article I had submitted. She has no respect for the students, and it shows. Avoid her at all costs.

Comment:

I feel like a number and a child when I go talk to her. I find her disguisedly condescending. Also, I was totally shocked when she asked for a photocopy of my grandmother's death certificate when I was obviously in terrible shape about it. She not kind, or helpful, in my experience.

I've been to see her a few times and she's always been extremely nice and helpful when I've seen her. To me at least, she's been a great Advisor.

Comment:

She is of no help in anyway. She will answer you one way and then say another. She is rude and has no time for students. She favors people with good grades. If she actually tries to even answer your questions she gives you useless, ambiguous information. When needing information go to any other source possible.

Comment:

She is the WORST person I have ever met in my entire life!!Her responses are always abrupt and rude. She has never actually helped me with anything. She obviously hates her job. I switched to Linda Allen b/c I hated her so much. I dont even know why she is still here. Word of advice, STAY AWAY FROM LARSON!!!

Comment:

She is my advisor. I asked her questions before ever even coming to this university and she was NOT helpful at all. I try to avoid her. Her responses are always abrupt and rude. She has never actually helped me with anything. She has also been rude/prejudiced to myself and my friend just because of our heritage.

Comment:

Makes you feel just like a number and clearly hates her job as an advisor. Asked another program advisor for help, always! Fails miserably as any positive aspect of the College of Biological Science. Nasty personality, no interest in student progress or helping.

Comment:

She has no time for students, and manages to make you feel like an idiot everytime you see her.If she has too many students to counsel maybe she should step down.She says she'll do something and then doesn't.Her assistant Heather is much more encouraging and patient.Promote Heather and fire Larson.

Comment:

As a counsellor she fails. All she has to do is show students respect and that she cares and more positive remarks will be seen. I've been here 3 yrs,I saw her in my first yr and she more or less hustled me out the room..went back in 2nd yr and was so upset that i didnt have my prog evaluaion
