Comment:

lots of students in my class blamed the teacher for their own irresponsibility. she is a great teacher, you just need to adapt to her style of correcting and learning. only thing that sucked was the group exam since its very likely your teammates will not study.

Comment:

Cares about students learning. Available if youre having difficulties. Expects you to be responsible for your learning. Gives feedback that challenges you. I think she brings out what possible even when I resist. She makes me think for myself. You can disagree with her but she will push back so you got to know or at least argue effectively .

She is a rude person that does attitude to the student when they don't understand. she also gives passive agressive comments on the papers you do and on your personal opinions

Judith is a tough grader but she gives clear feedback and it is possible to improve your grades if you put in the work. She is knowledgeable about her subject and is accessible outside class. Lectures can get boring sometimes.

Comment:

She has a preconceived mindset of what she wants and expects from her students. If you don't do things exactly as she wants you won't get a good grade no matter how hard you work. excruciatingly boring, but the key is get her to like you and you'll do okay!

Challenging, fair marker and you can't just do well without putting the work into it. Did this course in the summer, but really feel like it has helped me with my other classes. Didn't like the class while I was doing it but really glad I had Judith as I learned more than I thought I had. Be prepared to work in her classes.

AVOID taking this prof. Assignments are graded harshly with unclear instructions and feedback isn't useful. Save your GPA while you still can

Seems to side with certain students, if she doesn't like you from the start you'll get crappy grades no matter how much work you put in. Would not take again.

Comment:

Average B+ student down a grade point because, not only are her classes blah; as she just sits there and reads of her PowerPoints which are, just like her, unclear at best. She can be very rude, not just to me but all her students. That being said, she has her rare moments where she teach you something practical and be help you out. Real challenge!

Comment:

This teacher gives me mixed feelings. I learned some things with her and made me wake up as a student and got me to study much better. However, she is a really tough grader. You will feel like you have done a good job and the grade won't reflect it. The textbook is common sense. Just read it for the 2 MCQ midterms. This class is common sense.

You will either like how she teaches or won't. I've taken 2 other classes with her and did well. l've gotten a lot from her classes and as an instructor she makes herself available,gives lots of feedback and encourages participation. I recommend her and have had a good experience.

Comment:

Boring lectures with mandatory attendance. You really don't learn anything in this class. Her assignments don't make sense. She's a very particular grader. Won't give you back your marks even if you make reasonable arguments - Acts as if she is open to it. Group project really brings down your grade. Wont consider the fact you put more effort.

Comment:

I was hesitant to take Professor Grad's class because of the negative reviews Ive read. I love the way she teaches, shes tough but fair. She's awesome and very supportive. Prof. Grad gives a lot of valuable feedback which helps in the logs and final paper. She's there for you and wants you to grow.

Comment:

Jaded (adjective): tired, bored, or lacking enthusiasm, typically after having had 2 much of something. She may inspire you to drop out of your program, for the rest shes very uninspiring. Shes had it & it shows. Theres better out there. B wise when you pick your teachers. Time for retirement. Terrible teacher. Not a good asset.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER. She gives no instructions for her exams "just read the book" and barely goes through the material for the exams. She also gives an tons of workload to do and it's all due at the same time. ex: We have a 40 minute group presentation, a 12 page final paper and another assignment all due in the same week.

Comment:

I took 230 with another prof, and got an A+ in the class, and was really optimistic and hopeful about 232. Her lectures were abysmal, confusing, and left out a lot of info. Her study guides gave no guidance about what should be focused on for the tests, and I barely passed them. I gave up on the class, and took it with a better prof to pass.
