Biased and plays the 'favourites' game. Terrible professor which perhaps illustrates how terrible a teacher she was.

Comment:
She knows her stuff and really cares about all of her students, even if the students don't think she does. She was awarded the Excellence in teaching award in 2004 and deserved it without a doubt. She doesn't know it but she has helped change a lot of lives for the better through her contact with student teachers.

Comment:
The prof. can teach for sure, but she can be incredibly unclear in her evaluation expectations and has a very dark side to her temperament and personality. She questioned the efficacy and motivation of aspiring teachers who were married with children. Some of us can teach without being spinsters.

What a witch! She intimidates her students. Whoever decided to give her a teaching award should have had their head examined! One of the worst profs I've had in six years of university!

common sense approach to schooling who gave us a view of the big picture. I respected her the most of all the educators there. Someone who has actually been in education at all levels. Tells it like it is.

a totally biased prof,....proof is in the positive votes by her favourite students. A poor example of how a teacher should teach.

Comment:
Hands down, the best prof I had last year. There's a reason she won the award for excellence in teaching. Whiners beware: she'll smoke you for doing a slack-ass job, and reward those who do the work and contribute--a rarity in the faculty of D'uh.

If you do the work, you'll get the marks. Her class actually takes effort, unlike every other course in the faculty of ed. People don't like her because she forces you to both work and think. And she doesn't tolerate disrespect

Shirley is one of the few profs to prepare students for the real world both academically and socially. Great prof, making the most of a dry class.

One of my favourite education profs. Although her course material seemed dry at times, I now realize its relevence after having been teaching for a couple of years now. She has a great deal of experience to share and is very approachable.

Sorry to the whiners, but if you do the work, contribute in class and pay attention to the discussion (NOT to MSN) you'll do well. Shirley wants you to do well, but you have to work for it. Great prof, great class.

Shirley was my advisor for practice teaching, and she was very tough to say the least. Looking back at the year now though, I really value what I learned from her and all of her helpful advice. Just make sure you proofread everything.

It's time for Van Nuland to retire. She has already done enough damage to ruin any future career in teaching for her students
