Comment:

She's one of the best professors I have ever had. I came into the class taking it as an elective and I am now planning on continuing with Latin. She gives homework every class and it will be corrected by next class. There's a quiz a week and then two midterms. As long as you keep up with the work there's no reason not to do well.

Lyn is an amazing professor who really cares about her students and works to adjust the class according to our specific abilities. Although Latin requires a lot of commitment and hard work, she really inspired my interest in the subject and I am now planning on taking Latin with her until I graduate!

Lyn is so awesome. Approachable, encouraging, eager to help, truly cares about students, makes class enjoyable cause she's hilarious. Her class is the one to which I look forward to going. It's easy to get frustrated with Latin but she makes you want to work hard. Amazing prof, amazing person. TAKE HER CLASS IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU.

Comment:

The best instructor I've ever had in more than 10 years of post secondary education at 3 universities in Canada. Those who want an easy course shouldn't take Latin (or any ancient language). Those who truly want to learn the language could not get better instruction than from Dr. Rae.

Lyn is a fantastic professor. The best I have had at UBC. I found latin very difficult, but she was very helpful. I even cried in her office at one point (post-midterm, second term), and she was very consoling and eager to help me optimize my studying. If you try hard in this course, you will do well - even if you find the material difficult.

I've taken a lot of language courses and Lyn is easily the best language prof I have ever had. She makes Latin easy, which is an incredible feat considering how difficult the language is. She is also always willing to help, and puts in 110% effort into making sure her students are happy. Awesome!

Best professor that I've had at any University so far. Clearly has a passion for not only the subject that she's teaching, but for creating a wonderful classroom environment that students feel comfortable participating in. I took this course as an elective solely based on the positive reviews listed here and was not disappointed!

Comment:

A really good prof. She definitely doesn't believe in filler words and doesn't pause in her lecturing but is more than happy to stop and clarify in the middle of her lecture if anyone asks for clarification. She really cares about student success and does all she can to help you succeed and is just generally super friendly and approachable.

I really enjoyed Professor Rae's lectures. She's very articulate with lectures and what we need to know for exams. She's always ready to clarify notes or accept questions at the end of each class. She's a great prof!

A SUPER prof! Enjoy going to class and almost don't want to do bad so that you won't disappoint her. Your problems and concerns are her #1 priority. Crystal clear and willing to make it so in any way possible. Marks very fair and tests are fair as well. Gives plenty of opportunities for you to do well while still making you earn your mark.

I really enjoyed her class. She's great at clarifying things, and is easy to talk to one-on-one. Her lectures are well-organized and interesting, and exams are fairly straight forward, so as long as you study the notes and required readings you'll do fine.
