Comment:

Her lectures are interesting and force you to analyze daily routines/objects in a new, enlightening way. I enjoyed the course's focus and the readings (articles, not long books) were simple to understand and interesting. However, the marking for this class was brutal. The criteria and guidelines were broad; well-written essays receive bad marks.

Awesome prof! Her lectures were focused and informative, while also being entertaining and interesting. I learned a lot from her classes. She's super considerate and personable - also very articulate! Would definitely take more of her courses.

Comment:

She is sometimes hard to follow during lectures but the content she teaches is very interesting and her teaching style rocks. She always tries to connect concepts to real-life examples that we could relate to (ex. showing clips from What Not to Wear).

Comment:

Really thoughtful and interesting prof! Nice and wants her students to learn and get something out of the course. People were a bit rude by packing their bags early and talking during class because they thought she was confusing and too wordy. That's true, but it's also what makes her so unique and suited for the complex art of cultural studies.

Very effecticve, and likeable. she's not all up on a high horse like some profs. She's easy to listen to and she makes sense! She's also very worldly which makes her super cool!

*snore*... wha.. huh? Did I miss anything? Oh, no, just the same thing she's been saying for 10 minutes! Multiple choice part of the exam was easy though! LOVED the videos. Made up for her lecturing.

Boring. Repetitive. Takes her a long time to get her point across. Like the videos though!
