Comment:
We used a poorly designed class website instead of e-class, it was a hassle. Marking criteria was not clear at all. She doesn't show up to office hours regularly and when she does the help is very ambiguous. She is defensive with her marking and fairly unorganized. As a lover of political theory this class was a let down, skip this prof.

Cressida is one of the best prof I ever had. She is very knowledgable, helps you to think further and takes time to give you advice on drafts. Recommend 100%.

She is a tough marker but she gives feedback and will explain. Loads of reading. Need to show up and participate because of 20% of your mark... No texts however only mini reading responses of 500 words.

This class will change how you look at the world. Dr.H challenges you think very hard (be expected to really apply yourself...this is a THINKING course). The amount of reading was reasonable, but alot of critical examination after. Hard marker, but reasonable. LOTS of writing in this class - no m/c or any kind of easy stuff. Class is illuminating!

Having taken several courses with Cressida, I can honestly say that she's one of the most inspirational and intellectually challenging profs at the U. Brilliant, hilarious, and compassionate - a winning combination. She's the prof that will change your worldview.

Great teacher. Loves her subject and it shows. A pleasure to listen to, basically the only reason why I attend school at all is to listen to her lecture.

Brilliant and totally hot. She was one of my favourite profs and is an all around wonderful woman. She did shut up some people in class, but only because they were offensive, ridiculous and wasting the rest of the class' time. I recommend any class she teaches. Go Cressida!

She tries to control everything in the class and shuts up people if she does not like their opinion. Not a good strategy in graduate-level courses.
