Comment:

Lectures always ran a little bit long and we didn't end up covering all the material but we weren't tested on it. Very sweet, smart and inspirational. Does her best to help out students and is very easy to learn from. The exam was not difficult! Reading the textbook in this class is super helpful as she bases her lectures directly from it.

Comment:

Without a doubt the best prof I've had so far at Queens, and the best course that I've taken! Prof. Ratcliffe can make anything sound interesting. She is engaging, and does a great job at grasping and holding onto the attention of her students. All of her tests were extremely fair as long as you studied off her notes. Wish more profs were like her!

Doesn't seem to care about students. Doesn't take any feedback into consideration. Material wasn't hard, but the test were way too fast paced for what was expected in responses.

Comment:

This is the best prof I had at Queen's. She is inspiring and made otherwise dull material interesting. Fascinating stories - get to know her if possible. She is tough to get time with cause she's in such high demand but it is well worth it (and she gives good support to her research students).

Excellent course for anybody intersted in animal behaviour, or evolution. Good variety of material in the course (psych, anthropology, evolution, it's all there). Overheads > ppts!
