Comment:

Hands down the best professor I've ever had in university. Not an easy class by any means but very interesting. She takes the time to get to know her students and is always there to help. Tip: don't take this class expecting to talk about sports all day. It's much more thorough and in depth than that!

One of the best history profs I have had. She is very intelligent and an expert in what she teaches. Hard marker but put in the effort and it will pay off.

By far the best prof I have ever had. She made the class interesting and the reading load was light. Super friendly and tries to get to know her students. I would take another course with her for sure!

Great Profesor, she makes the material fun to learn, keeps things interesting. She calls upon people regularly and randomly. She always tries to know everyones name in the class. Fantastic overall. I thoroughly enjoyed going to her lectures. Work is fairly easy and she provides plenty of help when needed.

I love Prof. McPherson! She's a good lecturer, entertaining when she wants to be, and explains the material well. Doesn't take crap from anyone. She will walk around the lecture hall, and do NOT go on Facebook! If your computer screen has anything on it other than notes, she WILL call you out in the middle of class, with

Great lecturer, a little creepy when she walks all over the lecture hall. Yet, very clear and extremely helpful, knows her subject.

Comment:

Great prof. Funny, witty, approachable, smart, helpful in class as well as outside of class. Teaches interesting subjects like sexuality, music, cities. Likes to pace the lecture hall when talking, and is prone to randomly select people to answer her questions, so pay attention!:) She is really nice, but don't BS her, she's too smart for that.

She is a wonderful Professor, especially in HIST 1050. Very whitty and interactive. Sometimes she can be a bit confusing and go all over the place. Her lectures were appropriate for the exam, exams were easy.

I am now a student in a professional program but had her for history in my first year of university. The only B+ i ever had. I absolutely disliked her the most out of all the profs I ever had. She is a terrible teacher and utterly boring. Stay away from this class....take a useful subject please

Comment:

My favourite lecture of the trio, but that may only be because of her dry sense of humour. No technological sense whatsoever, but really knew her stuff when it came to history. Her voice was a bit monotone, but as it was only an hour long lecture, it was no big deal.

Comment:

expects forgivness for her humaness (lateness ect) but does not grant the same to students. Very difficult course and subjective marker. Take a course where the prof can provide you with a set of solid academic skills instead of letting you muddel your way through.
