Comment:

This is a teacher for people who don't like to think. she does not challenge the class, punishes students if they don't regurgitate her crap on papers and does not really know the material herself. But she is clear and simple.

Comment:

Sara's a decent prof. She's fairly knowledgeable about the topic, and did a good job of relating Plato and Aristotle to the modern world. I can say that we also got some really fun debates going in my class, even if they did go off topic. She's not particularly hard marker. Overall I think Sara did a decent job.

if you're interested in critique rather than standard contextual summarization this is not the class for you. no thoughtful analysis by the prof, and none is encouraged by students.

Comment:

This prof, is boring, basically uses her class as a correspondance session, and knows very little about philosophy or poli.SCi. She also uses tainted books like the Strauss version of the Repulic*.*$$$ If you need evidence just look at the Bush administration consists of Straussians. Now why would we grow these men in Canada as well! She knows not.

Comment:

Clear and concise. Doesn't punish you on assignments if your argument is different from her own. Allows you to choose your own topic for the term paper. One thing: Has trouble facilitating class discussion:) Nevertheless, I Recommended her.

Comment:

I found the class to be pleasant and rather easy. Don't need to actually read the books, just going by what she says in class is enough to get you through easy. Not challenging at all. She's actually kind of dumb.

Comment:

I agree with earlier comment, should not be teaching political theory. Someone who does not know the basic information that they are telling their students. And you must agree with her opinion, regardless of how much you back up your own theories. Would never ever recommend taking another class from her. Also incredibly boring.

Comment:

She may look nice but i find her to be a hard marker. When writing an essay or an exam be sure to only use the text b/c if you use other sources or have an opinion on something forget it. I do not recommand her at all; however, thats my opinion and maybe if you have her you might like her alot.

Comment:

She should not be teaching theory. One of those profs that if you don't say what she wants to here, she won't mark you high on your papers.She doesn't have an original thought to say, not to mention the mistakes.Should have dropped it and saved myself the money by only reading the books instead of paying for her class. Nice person though

Comment:

I really liked pash, she was very clear, fostered dialogue. She did stick to the texts - but I found that she was very wililng to go into more detail outside of class if you asked her about it. I would definately take another class with her.

Comment:

She does have her favorite students, otherwise she is a pleasant instructor. She makes mistakes in her lectures and has trouble answering question from students. Obviously, she has minimal knowledge of what she is trying to teach, but she is a generous marker even if you are not one of her favorites.

Comment:

Pash is not a great professor. Absolutely a nice lady, but why she is teaching theory is beyond me. Very good at pointing out the obvious - she pretty much reads the book word for word, says "isn't that interesting" and calls it a lecture. She's a big fan of "mind maps"...Take theory with someone else so you know what its really like

Comment:

She's a teacher? Huh. I thought she was just a glorified grad student--given all the mistakes she makes. I second-guessed my decision to take Pash's "class" when she wondered aloud if the French Revolution had happened in the 1600's--then stared blankly out at the students to await verification. This was "The Gong Show" of academia.

Comment:

I love Pash! She was so clear and interesting, and I didn't hate being in class at 8:30 in the morning! Kind of hard marker, but fair. Helped us on papers-Actually sits with you and takes 45 mins or so to go through your paper with you in her own time, I really appreciate profs that care like that

Comment:

I've had Pash four times and she was great all four times - clear, concise, tells you what she wants. She is a fair marker and is very open minded in terms of various ideas. Tests and assignments are always fair. Pash, you rock the political science department out... God bless.
