Comment:

Not a competent professor. Insists on APA formatting, but clearly does not own a copy of the publication manual. Changed due dates for assignments 3 times. Not at all engaging - often lectures for an entire 3 hour class block. I know more about this woman's personal life than most of my family members.

Rude, arrogant, condescending to students and inappropriate in her personal sharing of information and degrading toward students. Very inappropriate for a professor teaching social work. Big borderline!!!!!

Comment:

quite boring. explains things okay. tests are pretty easy as long as you know the material. found her to be quite an easy marker. no reason to avoid the this prof, really. she was pleasant, though in the past apparently she was quite rude..maybe she took the student evaluations into consideration?

I never thought I could be interested in research until I took a class with Brenda. She has a way of keeping your attention. She will be one of those profs. you can't help but remember....

Comment:

Brenda is a very delightful, articulate woman. Her tests are fairly hard, but she makes up for this by being flexible in other ways. She really promotes a good work ethic, and motivated me to really work hard, and do my readings!! Hard work will pay off in good grades!

Comment:

Once i hated research. After this course, i hate it even more. I found her very condescending and rude and impossible to approach for help. Her classes are airy-fairy and then the tests too hard. Her office hrs seem to be 10 mins per week in reality.
