Comment:

Genevieve is a nice prof. She is funny and highly energetic. I got a B+ in her class. This class was a lot of work. It had the workload equivalent to my other 2 classes. MAKE SURE YOU START the POP the moment you get it. You can't finish it 1 week before the deadline. 10% attendance, 5% presentation, 20% project, 30% exam, 20% POP, 5% quiz, 5%SASS

Comment:

AVOID, for a class that could have been very interesting she makes it brutally boring, reads off slides, vague assignments and test reviews, marks unreasonably hard, gives no proper feedback or instructions, keeps track of attendance and deducts marks if not attending. Info on diversity should be up to date not 10+ years old & loves killing trees.

if you actually care about your GPA AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS. She gives out so much freaking homework, all with unclear guidlines. The worst part is that Shes only helpful if you see her outside of class and that too is only if youre lucky. Our entire class got a B- on our projects. and when you tell her she marked you wrong she says idc

Comment:

Avoid!, Mandatory attendance every class, deduction of marks if you skip. VERY vague instructions to assignments and when you ask her about clarification she gets annoyed. Lectures are extremely boring, she just reads off slides, too many words on slides and content is outdated (statistics on slides and readings are from 10+ years ago)

Comment:

For something that could've been interesting and fun, she really sucks it all out. You would think she'd communicate better being a communications teacher but her assignments are so unorganized and unnecessarily confusing. She's very defensive and passive-aggressive. Tip: Just go in and out of class. Avoid talking to her, she yells sometimes.

I loved Genevieve as my professor. She is extremely organized and gives you step-by-step outlines to complete everything required. She's extra at times but she cares about the students marks. Only complaint I have is the workload, but its the course outline not her assigning it. Every assignment was extremely easy and prepares you for the final

Avoid. Seems nice in class but if you are unsure about anything, she makes you feel stupid for Asking questions. Tedious assignment worth 5%. Useless quiz, 50 multiple choice questions, worth only 5%. The peer evaluation for the team project is done... wait for it.. as a team. wastes sooooooo much paper.

Try your best to avoid her at all costs, even if it doesn't fit into your schedule. She marks super tough, she wastes so much paper, there are endless handouts, lot's of group work and there are assignments due weekly. Furthermore, she is so bad at giving clear instructions and when you ask for clarification she gets offended.

Prof is nice. Kills a forest in papers for her classes. Her instructions for group projects are so unclear and she really needs to figure out a way to make her instructions easy to follow. I did extremely well but, she wasn't happy about the performance of the group.

The run down: Doesn't post PPs she prints them for you, A LOT paper is wasted by her printing things throughout the term (bring a big binder), lots of tedious group assignments that DO NOT have a clear criteria at times. The midterm has things that weren't discussed in class and the final exam was a MARATHON of all group assignments.

one of the worst teachers, if not the worst teacher to date, she thinks she is so organized when in fact she is the most disorganized person at Ryerson, took this as my PR, was one of my worst decisions at Ryerson. Not only is she unclear about what she wants, she is also rude when you try to clear up the confusion. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment:

Genevieve is a little crazy but her heart is in the right place. You have to go to class because there is group work every single week that is due days after it is assigned. You really have to stay on top of it! The midterm was all mc so beware! The final is all application, which is great because it's basically a summary of all the group work.

Comment:

This course is mostly about group projects. Basically there is group-oriented work due every week and most of time we don't even get a full week to do it. The content is not difficult but she has her own way of doing things which are very obscure and vague. If you are taking this course as a minor, avoid lol. Overall, she is sweet and nice person.

You are assigned group tasks every week, and she is very tedious about small things like what to label your document or email subject line. Luckily enough, I had a very organized team, but I can see how annoying it would be to have poor group mates. Genevieve herself can be very sweet, but kind of crazy at the same time lol. I did enjoy it though.

OMG, the amount of paper work and assignments we did in the class was countless. She hands in a ton of paper for the assignments some of which is useful and the rest goes to waste. She is a nice person, but not a great professor. She is sweet but sometimes can get on your nerves with her annoying nature LOL.
