Comment:

This teacher was the hardest grader I've had at Ryerson yet. This was supposed to be an easy class but ended up being the hardest class I took this semester. She graded both my assignments that I worked hard on very low and when I asked for a remark she graded them even lower! Would never recommend.

Comment:

This course seriously takes a lot of work. You will be put in a random group that you would have to work with for the whole semester (so many group assignments and big projects). It's a hit or a miss. However, she is a really kind and approachable professor. She makes every class engaging. The exam required so much writing but was easy.

Comment:

Professor Sniderman is by far the hardest professor for MHR523, her marking is very harsh, even remarking the work marked by the seminar leaders because "they are too lenient". Her exams are far longer and harder than the other classes (ex. 17 hard long answer questions for the midterm, whereas other classes all had 11-12 easy questions). Stay away

Sweetest prof you will ever meet, asked our class how she could improve the exam so its easier for the class. Made a lot of people go into human resource since she makes it so interesting. Gives non graded quizzes every week to review what we did last week and it helps a lot. Go to class and take a lot of notes you will be good.

Comment:

Pat is very sweet and dedicated to her job. She loves teaching and she takes it very seriously, it's only difficult when the students get talkative and she's so kind it makes it hard for her to get a hold on the class. Her grading is pretty tough, a bit unfair really when you see the criteria on the rubric. Assignments are easy when not in groups.

Comment:

Pat is head of the HR department and does the recruitment for all the HR stuff at rye. That being said, her class was the hardest HR class for first year compared to other profs. She's cute and sweet, kinda corky, but she takes things seriously. Go to the lectures, follow along on powerpoints as the info comes up on the exams. READ THE TEXTBOOK TOO

I like our class discussions - participation is key. She makes it very engaging. However, she is a tough marker. Group project was very stressful and we tend to get a mark ranging from 50-60. Study hard for the final as it will boost up your mark. Got a B best that I can do since group project was very low. Attendance is also mandatory.

Comment:

She's a kind and wonderful professor, but she is a tough grader. Make sure you really understand the concepts so that you ace the assignment criteria. Participation matters and she takes note who participates. She also has quizzes at the beginning of her powerpoints (no marks, thankfully) but they are helpful for reviewing last week's materials.

Overall I would say Pat Sniderman is a good professor who cares about her students. However she can be a tough grader. Definitely do not memorize the concept, but understand it.

Comment:

She's a nice prof and tries to encourage students to participate. She reviews the previous lecture by asking potential midtermexam questions. This helps to make you see if you really know your stuff. Her lecture slidesfiles are not organized with many slides from last week's lecture to current. She often has trouble controlling her class.

Very hard marker. She doesn't really explain what your mistakes were when you ask her. Her lectures are so long and not very engaging.

Pat is such a nice prof and person. She has a genuine interest in her field and it is evident throughout the lectures. The course itself in my opinion was a rather boring one but she tried her best to keep the class entertained. The midtermfinal were based on her lectures, slides and textbook and were fair. Overall very good prof.

She's a really sweet lady, who has a lot of real world experience. She's really knowledgeable in HR. She is extremely helpful, and will try her best to make sure you understand everything. The exams are a bit tough, and the material isn't the most interesting. Her lectures were short. Textbook is a must.

Awesome prof. Really enjoyed her lectures... skipped every lecture before the midterm and got a C then went to every lecture and got an A on the exam. She made me want to take more HR courses. Recommended.

I really didn't care for this course when the semester started, but it ended up being the one I attained the most knowledge from and attended the most. She is very thorough with the material and makes sure you fully grasp the concepts. The book is only useful for assignments as she says you'll only be tested on the points from the lecture slides.

I miss taking her class!! Now when i look back, it was a great learning experience. The seminars were fun as well. She's the main reason why i gained more interest in HR. You can really tell she's in HR because she made us do a survey about how the mid-term was and made adjustments to improve the exam. Thank you Pat! :)

Very helpful and responds to emails quickly and interesting lectures. She is so cute and funny. One of the better profs I've had. I dont like how the class is bug but she does try to get to know you if you put your hand up to answer a question. DONT BE SHY.
