I really enjoy Nicole. Everything she taught I found to be so interesting and engaging. She can be a bit difficult on marking when it comes to tests. She doesn't post her slides to D2L. Never used the textbook.

Nicole is the best teacher I have ever had. She is passionate and knowledgeable about the material she teaches. Her lectures are intense, thorough, and informative. If you're hoping for an easy A, look elsewhere. If you want to actually learn and are ready to put in some effort this is the teacher for you.

Nicole is by far the best prof I had at Camosun. She was willing to help me work harder and get better grades by finding my own learning and study approaches. People saying she is not fair do not understand that she is always coming from the heart and she cares about her students immensely. I would always recommend her and I enjoyed her classes.

Nicole was the reason I switched my major to anthropology. She opened up my eyes to the real world with her inspirational lectures. She is friendly, approachable, and genuinely wants her students to succeed. 100% would recommend any of her classes.

Nicole is the most amazing prof. She is passionate about the subject and it definitely shows. Easily accessible and approachable outside of class time and willing to match your efforts. Nicole is a true gem and the reason why I fell in love with this subject! I would take all of her classes again if I could

Nicole is by far one of my favourite teachers. She is passionate, kind, caring, extremely knowledgeable. I have learnt so much from her classes and really value what she offers. She is very lecture heavy so take lots of notes. She is absolutely available if you need help or have questions and will totally match the effort you choose to put in.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Nicole as an instructor. The project in the class was AMAZING and she is easily accessible outside of class for clarification on topics. Nicole cares a lot about her students and wants to see us do well. An A is very possible as long as you put some effort into the labs and final project. It is a theory class, but very interesting

Comment:

Nicole was an amazing teacher. My first sem. at college and was able to get an A in her class. Attendance is mandatory as she just follows her power points in lecture and doesn't read off of them. Her exam questions are broad which, if you know the concepts well, gives you tons of room to show what you know. Very helpful during office hours.

Comment:

Very harsh when marking, also makes it very hard to even get partial grades on exams. If she does not like one sentence from an essay, good luck getting a good grade. Took the class as an elective and wish that I did not take it, as it is only a problem for my GPA. She is also a very opinionated teacher, and I would not recommend her to anyone.

Comment:

Class was very interesting. However, the questions she writes on the midterms/assignments are not very clear (they are broad questions, so it doesn't make sense how such answers can be wrong). I showed the questions to friends/family and they don't understand it as well. Conclusion: wish I hadn't taken the class.

Avoid at all costs. If you value what is done in class, throw it out the window. You can learn as much watching documentaries on youtube without long lectures. If you're late for class the door will be locked.

Comment:

Didn't respond to any of the emails I sent over the semester, including when I got sick and needed notes. Is not clear in why you got the grades you did, just says "it wasn't what I was looking for." Has strange office hours so she is very difficult to reach outside class. Spends a lot of time talking about her family instead of actually teaching.
