Comment:

An amazing prof, was scary at first but that's because she's aware of how lazy students can be during the summer (I took her summer course). She is a tough grader, but gives really good feedback, and is a good example of a tough-love teacher, who is likes to talk about her experiences in relation to the course. Good prof, would take her courses!

I took her class in my first year. She seemed kind of scary at first but late you'll realize that she really isn't! The things you learn in her class are really interesting! Just attend all the tutorials and do all your readings specially her lectures! Her exams are mainly based on her lecture notes. Its all easy A's if you do your work.

Comment:

An incredible educator who is truly passionate about her work and teaching. She is definitely a character ( a little sassy) but she has an incredible heart. Genuinely wants you to succeed and understand concepts once you finish the course. Human Rights in the Global South is a fabulous course that will open your eyes remarkably.

Comment:

Yes, she is horribly scary and intimidating at first, but throughout the year our entire class realized it was all a fronting. She truly is an amazing person overall. Forums were easily graded, lecture notes were given, and she eases the mood with her hilarious stories. Class ended with a round of applause. Fave professor so far! Amazing class!

Comment:

A bit unprofessional, swears in class, will not give a satisfactory answer to your question, will call you out for basically anything and everything so be careful if you're breathing too loud. Hopefully if you have a good TA you'll be fine because the course material is interesting. Just not sure what her problem is.

Comment:

Her lectures are amazing. Although she provided us with notes online for every lecture, I still loved going in to hear her lectures because she provided beautiful stories and personal experiences that really help you grasp the course content. She is strict in the sense that she does not want phones out; she wants you to pay attention to lectures.

Comment:

Nadia is one of York's best professors. What she wants from her students is clear, and her teaching style allows grasping of complex concepts in an easy manner. The films and readings she assigned in class were really engaging. She made lectures enjoyable and fun, but DO NOT BE LATE, especially on the first day or she will call you out.

Comment:

very intimidating prof, takes pride in being that way. Does not like to give A's even though you deserve it , the highest mark you can get on any assignment is a 90. This class was a nightmare. Sad because I really enjoyed the course material. Interesting class, would have been better with another prof.

Comment:

Yes, you basically have to beg her for help. If you ask a question, she'll either answer you in a rude tone suggesting you are an idiot or she'll tell you to "look it up". As a prof, she's not helpful at all. You're basically on your own. She definitely thinks way too much of herself and that she is way better than you. Would not take again

Comment:

There is a group presentation and she WILL criticize and embarrass you in front of everyone. She's a fair-tough marker, and makes a lot of mistakes because she uses letter grades. She wrote "High B" on my assignment and inputed that I got a 70, which doesn't make sense. You don't have to attend ALL of her lectures, but you should attend most.

Comment:

Is a very blunt person, can be very hard to pay attention because she calls out everything you do, very strict rules in class and doesnt use the full amount of class time. Is very hard and uncomfortable to have an opinion because she will fight you about it. The exam were marked hard I found but the rest of the year was pretty easy.

Comment:

Course marerials are interesting but she is a very bad prof. She talks just half an hour and then you must watch the most boring video for 1.5 hour! It is not a good GenEd course at all and basically you can do well if you are a gendered studies major.

Comment:

Hilariously blunt! She tries to engage the class to connect the material to the real world for participation marks. But she rarely gives A's and never A+. I'm an A student but the highest I got from her is an B+ on essays. For tests, better put in a lot of detail! and $100 for course kit!? barely even used it. don't buy it

Comment:

The material may not always be interesting but the professor always made it engaging. She made an effort to learn student's names, ask for our opinions and talk to us. Can come off as intimidating but is quite rational and understanding if you talk to her one on one. VERY passionate and knowledgable. A great prof.

She isn't always the easiest person to get along with. She will call you out if you come in late, etc. However, she is a very good teacher. She is passionate about course material and she can be very inspiring. Overall, she has thought provoking lectures that will benefit you if you are interested in the subject.

Comment:

Do not take courses with this prof. She handpicks a small number of students that she likes, and is very rude, threatening and intimidating. She claims that she is busy all the time and WILL NOT HELP YOU during office hours. She has very conservative ideals and insists that she is correct all the time. P.S. Her course kits are absurdly expensive.

Comment:

I took this course to fulfill my GenEd requirements. Group work was a major part of the course. She's funny and is a story teller but once u get past all that she really doesn't have a nice personality. She does have her group of preferred students that she talks. Having a one on one in her office might be one of the most painful experiences ever!!

Comment:

This professor is a bully. Sure, she can teach. But at the end of the day, if you need help she's agressive and rude. She was even speaking about how people leave her office crying. I believe that her ratings have made her feel invincible. But remember, Habib, everything one deserves comes in due time.

if you show up late to a performance, the performer takes offence so dont be late. She gets mad at students who come in late & disrupts her lecture nothing else. She is passionate about what she teaches & opens your eyes. She always informs students of everything & ALWAYS replies to emails. Great prof, loved her! taking her other course now :)
