Comment:

switch out of her class if you have her for English. her papers require so much, she wants a good copy, a rough draft that has been marked up by you, and she wants you to print screenshots of the websites that you referenced. It takes so much time and so much ink from your printer. It's waste when other profs only require the standard referencing

Comment:

Professor Warnock is an unreasonably hard marker. My main issue with her is that she gives very vague instructions yet expects very precise and exact work, especially in DGD work. Her lectures are quite boring (except for the occasional Monty Python clips), and attendance is mandatory. Feedback on work is also unhelpful.

Comment:

She was a super approachable prof and is really good at answering questions via email or during office hours. But the lectures can get boring and drag on a little bit, other than that she was fine for a first year prof.

Comment:

She's the most caring teacher I've ever had. She spends so much of her time with every student that comes to her office hours because she genuinely wants them all to succeed. She was a tough grader at first but if you go to her office hours looking to actually improve your writing and not just complain about your grade she's extremely helpful.

Comment:

Poor lectures - very vague and unsubstantive. Course reading material she supplies is dull and oversimplified - but at least its free. Do not buy the course textbook - waste of money and absolutely unnecessary. Lectures are very boring, marking is harder than necessary. I did well in the course, but I wouldn't want her as my prof again.

Comment:

Lectures are super boring and she's all over the place, but when you email her and ask for help she is absolutely amazing. She'll go over your entire essay and give really useful feedback so if you take the initiative it's easy to maximize your grade. I never expected that kind of support from a prof so it was a really nice surprise.

Comment:

I get the sense that Ms. Warnock is actually very, very smart, but she always looks like she's one cruel catlady joke away from a breakdown. Definitely tries hard, but really doesn't seem to be able to control her class. Very easy marker and the final exam is open book, but the load is still pretty heavy. And for gods sake DONT BUY THE TEXTBOOK

she is very hard at marking and does not really allow you to write on anything interesting or of your choosing. Her lectures are long, boring and pointless, and she gives confusing feedback.

Comment:

DO NOT SPEND 100 DOLLARS ON THE TEXTBOOK! You will NEVER need it unless you haven't ever written anything in your life. The course package is necessary however. On terms of the prof, she is SO dry and boring. Attend the DGDs, as attendance is mandatory. That is all. This course as a whole is pointless. I hope you enjoy writing about the environment

Comment:

I loved both courses and the way she taught them. She pulls out lots of interesting themes and points us towards fascinating approaches that illuminate the texts. I found her funny and interesting and very nice. I also liked that she was a little dorky - it made her more real to me.

Comment:

I took her Sci Fi class as an elective. The books were great but the lectures were awful. She doesn't control class discussions and topics unrelated to the material rambled on forever. Take this with someone else.

Comment:

Had her for the fantasy literature class, and it was great. The assigned reading was a bit on the heavy side (Lord of the Rings had to be read in a hurry...ouch), but the discussions were good, and her interest was obvious. Don't know about her other classes, but this one was GREAT

Had her for fantasy. Really poor public speaking skills, stumbles and reads over her lecture notes. Very boring lectures, difficult to attend. Marks relatively easy, not hard to get a decent mark if you can sit through it all.

Comment:

one of the worst teachers i have ever had. terrible course subject matter and****ty course pack. annoying boring voice, 5 year old boy writing, and there was little to no guidance on assignments. her marking scheme is not clear. no idea what she was looking for in your essays and no encouragement to think out of the box.

dispite her akwardness, its obvious she's a really nice teacher. i could have done without the numerous science fiction novels & the participation mark but she explains the books really well. be prepared to take notes ! the exam is a breeze !

Comment:

She talks in circles most of the time, reads from a paper and obviously isn't comfortable with public speaking. Rarely looks at the class, except when she asks a question she finds interesting,annoying voice, weird attire. Completely oblivious to her students' activities during class. She also tends to laugh at phallic references and sex jokes.
