Great prof. I took property and Trusts with her. Really knows her stuff and has enthusiasm for the areas in which she teaches. Pay attention and you'll learn a lot.

Comment:

Undoubtedly one of the best professors at Ludlow. If you want to know how to write like a lawyer should write, then you need to learn from this woman. Her progressive outlook is a breath of fresh air in a generally conservative environment, and she ensures that her Law & Social Justice students have the best selection of material to learn from.

Comment:

She is certiantly very intellegent. She writes very well. She has a mastery over the subject the few can attain - but not that great of a teacher. She doesn't follow a clear line of thinking in class, she has annoying habits that distract and her evaluation methods are suspect. Because she goes on many tangents in class - her clarity is poor.

She can explain the sh!t. She's also able to help after class. Nice. I was bombing the class at the start and ended up doing well. Can't complain really.. pretty good teacher.

Comment:

Brilliant person. One of the five smartest people I have ever met. I suspect she has not been fairly respected over the years. She also has problems escaping the bounds of strict situationally applied logic and consequently fails to extend the structural themes of her work beyond a few specific catagories. Too bad. Her perspective is important.

Comment:

Great class, interesting topics & discussion. You can tell she's genuinely interested in the subject matter, and is interested in what students have to say, even if she doesn't agree. In 1st year Legal Method she gave review sessions on her own time which were very helpful. I can't always figure out her marking scheme, though.

Comment:

A great Prof-but final grading is absolutely mysterious, and this is not a good thing. I don't know if its a curve, or just an aversion to the letter A, but its demoralising to get fantastic marks all the way along and then end up with something less.

Comment:

Why, oh why, do she curve us down? I really dont see the purpose/point when you have a small, bright, engaged class that just does well on the whole. And whats with the non-anonymous marking? I like her views and her as a person, but her unfair marking sucks!!

Not very helpful if you go to her office. She is very bright, but too smart to articulate her knowledge. Makes UNB law school look bad.

This woman is excellent - and I hope she will be able to teach family next year instead of KP. She is clear, and will slow down if you ask. She is a hard marker, but she does so with the intention to make you a better student, & hopefully, a better lawyer

I thought she was great; she's actually very nice but I agree she's not a great lecturer. She's very intelligent and she wants to help students.

Comment:

In spite of her personal flakiness, her lectures are very well focussed and she presents the material in such a way that it's possible to take very complete notes. She's also very good at explaining the subtler points of the reasoning in our cases.

Worst excuse for a prof I have ever had. Doesn't have a clue and has it out for stduents. I would rather choke myself than take another course from her.
