Comment:

Dorathy is a very informative prof. She gives a lot of insight and clarifies whatever she says. She has a bit of a monotone voice but it is not that boring. She uses films well and is very clear in what she says. And sometimes, the class participation is quite amusing and fun.

Comment:

Dorothy Moore is a nice lady, but her lectures are not very interesting. She's monotone, not entertaining, and very biased! She killed the course for me and others. She's definitely not the prof for me!

Good prof, and lecturer. Have to be good at taking notes. Really enjoyed the class. Good as long as you have a good T.A. Get john paul, he was a nice guy that marked hard but not unfair. Overall, good first year class!

She knows what she's talking about but takes one side. This course is extremely biased and utter brainwash. Devout and conservative Catholics/Christians, Muslims and Jews beware!

Comment:

Content was excellent. Lectures were very dry. Need to be good at taking notes. Don't try to copy her words exactly. May seem fast paced but she often rephrases everything she says to make sure you understand. "In other words"... Do the readings before lecture and you will feel much better about what she is saying. Get a good TA!! (Kerry Taylor)

Comment:

She herself isn't a bad professor. Her test were too long for 2 hours (3 essays in 2 hours; common). Depending on your TA you can do well or not. The TA I had was very picky it had to be exactly what he wanted. I would not recommend this course try choosing another 9-credit course if possible.

Comment:

This class was horrible. I had no idea what the lectures were about because she was so all over the place. I never learned anything in lecture. The only reason I did well was because I always went to tutorial and had a good T.A. The T.A. was a tough ass but forced you to do your work and thus do well. The prof. does not teach at 1st year level.

Comment:

Very organized and clear. Concepts are communicated very well and lectures integrate well with the readings (although the films are a little boring). TA's are also very well educated and are genuinly interested in the course content. Show up to lecture, take really good notes, do the reading, show up for tutorial...maybe even talk - you'll be fine.

Comment:

Very organized professor whose aim is to make material clear and understandable for students. This is a first year course, so the material is quite general kind of background. Any problems and questions can be discussed directly with the professor who is very approacheable and open for students. T.A.s are not very tough as well.

Comment:

At first she seems really smart and intimidating (during exams she gives death glares to everyone) but if you actually open the course kit and do some readings you realize she lectures completely on the stuff right out of there. However, she's well spoken and entertaining as far as professors go!

Comment:

Dorothy definetly knows what shes talking about! But uses HUGE words that go over many of the students heads at a very high speed causing more confusion then necessary. Loved the material. Loved what we learned. HATED the prof. and tutorial LEADER! very bad first year experience!

Comment:

Her speed in talking wouldn't have bothered me if she USED SLIDES! Unfortunately, other than movies, she used nothing. However, she is fairly repetitive + material is logical, so you really just need the gist to get a good grade. She has a VERY liberal social perspective, and you may be offended if homophobic, or misogynistic to any degree.

She is a great prof. I really enjoy her lectures and she is so passionate about the topics. If you go to lecture you should have no problem doing well. Frances is the BEST T.A., she is very helpful and a genuinely nice person. This is my favourite class and it has sparked my interest in human rights law!! Would recommend it to anyone!

Dorathy is a great prof. she's extremely passionate about what she speaks about. she doesn't lecture too quickly. sometimes its better to listen first and then write later. graham was the best t.a.- go to lecture and you'll ace the course- she's VERY organized!!!
