Comment:

Gillian is positivily the worst Professor I have had in my entire school career. For assignments she either gives no instructions at all, or gives vague details that she will later contradict to another section. She has just given back ONE of our marks over a week after we completed our final exam. If this class isnt not necessary do NOT take it.

Comment:

Worst professor ever. A disorganized mess. Wastes class time pointlessly talking about her vacations. Inconsistent outlines & tells different class sections varying instructions. It's currently 8 days after our final exam and we have yet to receive a single mark back in the course, besides a tiny in-lab exercise only worth 2%. #WHEREAREOURMARKS

Absolutely awful. She doesn't teach the material thoroughly and she doesn't follow the course outline. She doesn't respond to emails on time and she is never around to help students when they need it.

Comment:

Students have written Final exams already and have not received a single mark for any of the assignments handed in throughout the semester. Assignment were completed without instructions, students interpreted expectations. She does't completely read student email or respond to them. She brags way too much about her trips. she has a massive ego.

Comment:

The most unorganized prof i've had. She cares more about talking about herself than the assignments. She doesn't always give outlines for projects and when she actually does they have spelling mistakes and other errors. She claims that her field requires attention to detail but she seems like she pays little attention to this class.

Comment:

She is the most disorganised proffessor I have ever met, doesn't know how to communicate, and talks way too much about herself. Students have no idea what to do for assignments or when assignments are due because she doesn't provide a rubric or written instructions. She changes her verbal instructions in almost every class. even TA's are confused.

Comment:

This is by far the most disorganized course I have ever been in, no one knows what is going on in this class most of the time including Gillian herself. She constantly contradicts herself and it really seems impossible for her to clearly tell us what she expects from us for the assignments. This class had so much potential to be really fun but no.

Comment:

this one of the MAIN reasons why I even went to GCM and was looking forward to this course the most. I was so disappointed by Gillian organization skills and efficiency. I'm sure she's very nice but the class is so messy and all assignments are given at once with no sense of direction or guidance.

No sense of organization, no sense of awareness in the class. Doesn't know her material and has zero contingency planning. Class was extremely clueless and had to acquire help from fellow peers.

Comment:

By far the most disorganized, unclear and frustrating prof I've ever had. Spent majority of the lecture talking about her trips and irrelevant things. Very strict with deadlines, yet didn't even mark some of our projects for our final grades! No feedback for why marks were deducted on projects. Overall terrible experience with this prof.

Knowledgable on the content but not a great professor. She disappointed a lot of students this semester with her un clear grading criteria, and other conflicts.

Comment:

All instructions were vague, changed days before the deadline, and had misspellings. It is a requirement for GCM students but optional for students from other schools. She is the only prof - avoid at all costs and take something else if possible. Will inject snide remarks while you attempt to complete the most basic tasks.

Very vague teacher, failed me because she thought I cheated on an assinment (thought I used image trade) when I showed evidence that backed up the fact that I did NOT cheat she said it was "too late" and I lost motivation for the class after that

Comment:

Hands out the most vague assignments then grades on specifics that were never taught in class. Her final comprehensive exam was easy, but there were many questions that did not have a correct answer. Takes forever to hand back assignments, some people don't even get them handed back. Has many standards for students that she never follows herself.
