Yep. Good professor, though maybe uneven. Classes were never boring but creative. She has wide ranging knowledge. High expectations but she's very kind. Recommended. Not sure if she still teaches here.

Great teacher. Brilliant and inspiring at times. Discussions in class were wonderful. She actually took notes on what we said in class and during office hours to study it and responded to it later.

Thoughtful, responsible professor. Doesn't always teach at UBC but take a class from her when you get a chance. I came away feeling like I had learned something. I retain an interest in Russell and Wittgenstein because of her.

Very interesting. Somewhat disorganized, but that is to be expected in a metaphysics class. Generally, I really liked it. Highly reccomended

Hmmm.... Melinda melinda melinda. At first I wasn't sure how knowledgable she was but then I realized that she acctually did know what she was talking about that but it was almost constantly undermined by her uneasiness and lack of confidence.

You almost feel sorry for her, she seems out of it at times. Once, when asked a question, she sat in a daze for 45 SECONDS until she answered something lame. My friends and I managed to talk loudly without her caring (or noticing) all year long! Easy A.

Ppl say that she is one of the harder phil 120 profs but i didn't think so. I did not try very hard but still got an A. She is fair. The course is easy, but you need to put in some effort.

Trying to stay awake is the most effort you'll have to put into this class.
