Good profs don't usually get many submissions but Clare deserves lots! She's the Undergraduate for G.E.M. at UW and seems very experienced. She uses her knowledge and experience very well. She also dresses very interesting and semi-fashionable. It's nice to see that she tries!

Awesome prof. Knows what she's talking about and has very interesting points. Love how she integrates economics and history into her geography lectures. A real treat to attend her lectures. On the plus side, the tests are rather easy!

Solid prof. she explains concepts very clearly, excellent speaker, midterms are fair. However, the content can be dry at times and the essay was marked very hardly. Shes very open minded and friendly.

Comment:

she speaks down to the students. her class is purely history and economics based so if you are expecting geography, you aren't going to get it. She is rude and does not explain any concepts. she merely recites historical facts about canada.

Comment:

This course is excellent. You really get to learn a lot. The big project was fun and wasn't hard.Her midterm was OK but the final was so loong that I had trouble holding my pen up in the end. This is the most tiring final exam I ever had. Had 2 other courses with her and shes perfect! Strongly recommend her!

Fair midterm and understands student demands--enabled either 15% or 25% value on midterm (35/45 final). Easy to follow lectures, you should be able to get a decent mark by coming to all lectures and paying attention.

Comment:

Claire is alright.. she's kinda boring.. but that may be the subject.. Her course notes are dumb.. Charts with no explanation make no sense when studying.. You have to go to take notes for the class.

If you want a structured and straight-forward class, take it. Just be prepared for dull, boring lectures. It's all copying off of her overheads. She has no charisma.

Comment:

She's one of the best profs I've had in my 5 years at UW. Her lectures are structured and very organized. She takes info right out of the assigned readings which helps people who aren't inclined to do the readings. Overall she is a great and I recommend taking her courses to other students!

Comment:

Great classes - all profs should use her as an example of how to teach a class. The number of classes I've taken where they just read off powerpoint slides and put you to sleep. Very helpful and understanding, great classes. I actually looked forward to going to class, which is a first... Very well organized, interesting, good speaking voice, et

interesting way of presenting material (class debates etc) however lectures are DULL and hard to concentrate on. She presents things in quite simplistic forms and marks quite difficult.

Extremely organized lectures, which makes material seem straight forward. Very fair midterm and final, and fair term paper marking. She's helpful if you ask for clarification and responds pretty quickly to emails/questions. One of the better profs I've had! Take this course with her!

Comment:

Wow. Have you ever heard one of those radio/book on tape type stories? (CHIME! "turn the page children.") I have a large block in this class b/c I can't get over how forced and odd her voice and behaviours are. The book of notes is****. & even completed notes are challenging to follow.
