Really good prof. Sometimes pretty quiet when she teaches. Doesnt have much control of her class. When people are talking she doesnt stop it.

Comment:

It doesn't get much easier than KNES 1000. She doesn't post any notes online, but if you show up and write down notes you will get an A. Questions on the exams all have to do with the lecture notes, but you need the textbook for the lab reports. She cares about her students passing so don't be afraid to ask for help if you're struggling.

My favourite prof so far. Her lectures are hilarious and she truly cares about her students. Most of the test questions are based on lecture so you should show up if you want to pass. Did not post to Moodle but was patient for students to take notes. Such an amazing lady!

Ilsa has very boring lectures. Her slides are bare minimum so you have to write down what she says. She gets very defensive if you ask her about a question she sent in an email. Constantly had to cancel lectures but a super easy class.

Ilsa is a wonderful professor! She clearly loves what she teaches. Her powerpoints contained all the material you need to do really well on her midterms. She doesn't post her notes unfortunately, so if you miss a class, just hope you have a friend in the class to get the notes from. Tests are simple and straightforward. Loved the class!!

Comment:

Ilsa is a great prof as she is hilarious and easily accessible. She does require the use of an ICLICKER, making attendance mandatory for participation marks. The labs are easy, but I was VERY annoyed with the inconsistent marking by the 6 TA's. The textbook was only used to deepen understanding, but her tests were pretty easy if you go to class.

Comment:

Ilsa is an amazing prof. However, this class is incredibly frustrating due to the lab assignments being marked by the 6 TA's. All of them mark differently (one marks something wrong that another one marks right), it seems like the students just cannot win. Also, only write what they are asking for (I had marks taken off for "too much detail").

Comment:

Nice lady, and will answer your questions IF you make an appointment. Very boring and dry lectures, exams all short answer. Would not recommend taking a class with her as her notes are bare minimum, so you have to try and listen to what she is saying, but can't hear or understand what she is saying. so you never know what'll be on the exam.

Comment:

I took an Independent Study with Ilsa at the 2000 level. She had extremely high expectations, requiring me to create my own study, run my own stats (which is only expected at a graduate level) as well as write my own proposal to the Ethics committee. I also received very little support as she never answers emails. Just be aware of what she expects

Utterly useless class. Beware of the pop quizzes, they'll end up biting you in the but. The class project is ridiculous and such a waste of time. Get ready for a snore fest.

Notes were not very thorough in her PowerPoints and made leaps in what was expected for tests. Overall an easy class but the slides could use a little more work.

Wrote the textbook, requires the textbook, encourages students to rip pages out of textbook for lab. . . .you see where this is going . . . . This really bothers me. Also requires iClicker. Other than this she really does seem like a good teacher.

Ilsa was a great prof! Her lectures were awesome, and very interesting. She is a really sweet lady and will answer any questions you have, if you go to her office. She doesn't answer emails. Her tests are easy, just make sure you study! I loved the class, would definitely take again.

Ilsa is an excellent professor, she's a fair marker and tester. Exams contain material on lecture note slides and topics she elaborates upon in class. High expectations, but is fair. Always willing to help out after class. Lecture slides aren't posted, so come to class!

Comment:

Ilsa is kind of monotone but a 50 minute class with her is doable. She is funny, adding humor into the lectures. There are pop quizzes so attendance is important. There are no surprises on her exams but be prepared to study all of the material, so you don't miss anything. She isn't super warm and fuzzy when meeting for help with assignments.

Class is mandatory as the exams and assignments are straight from the notes/slides in class. If you take notes during class and study it is an easy course

Comment:

This class is an extremely easy A, I barely put any effort into it and came out with an A+. Ilsa makes everything very memorable, and gives funny examples that help you remember. She is extremely easy to approach and will spend time helping you when you need it. You do need at attend class, or at least make sure you get a copy of the notes.
