Comment:
Absolutely loved her and the course! She's funny in a quirky way and cares for her students (even though she may seem a bit cold one on one) and the material. Group projects make up the majority of your mark but the TAs are easy markers. The textbook is very helpful for the exams and can be read in 2 days max. Would recommend!

Comment:
Her two classes were extremely easy if you have any interest in ecology and birds. Keep up with her classes and you'll ace the course. Labs are a LOT of work but if you spend the time on it, you'll do insanely well. My two highest marks in my university career thus far!

The courses are easy if you care about ecology at all, and she teaches the topics well. Her two classes I took have been two of my favourite so far at Western.

Somebody please fire this woman. She is awful. How do people like her manage to get hired in the first place. She honestly gives Western a black eye.

Comment:
The worst professor I have ever had. Do not ever take this course. She only talks about birds, reads directly off her slides and is unable to answer basic questions in class when people ask her. She spends so much time talking about her research experience in the middle of nowhere and very little time actually teaching. Never ever take this course!

Decent class, found the topics reccuring, which is benifical. Final exam was very fair-straight outta the lecture notes. Labs are fair. Prof was excellent

Comment:
I had her for both conservation and population I do not recommend her courses. She spends the whole time talking about songbirds and nothing else. She is extremely useless to talk to regarding assignments and lecture information. All of her arguments are one sided and she refuses to acknowledge there is another side. She even dodges Q's in class.

She is very well organized, & obviously passionate about conservation biology. However, she can be intense, & I didn't feel comfortable around her. The textbook was useless.

An awful course. She provides no notes and moves so quickly that there is no time to copy notes. This class took as much time and effort as my other four classes combined. If you don't have to take it, don't

She's a very good lecturer, but the last assignment was kind of stressful, but we also had all term to do it. She really does care about conservation biology, and it shows in her teaching style. She can be kind of cold to talk to.

The last assignment was completely unreasonable and it stressed me. Truly cares about conservation biology but I think she expects too much from her students

Comment:
She can be a little frightening and intimidating. But then sometimes she's super nice and frankly, that's scary too because it makes me wonder what the heck happened. Her expectations on projects can be a little too high.

When I heard she was married, I cried for 2 weeks and said 'no, it isn't true'.
