Comment:

There is A LOT of material for each module, and much is completely unnecessary, just by reading the chapters of the book is good enough to guarantee you an A. Take the quizzes and reviews seriously and that should be more than enough to receive a really good grade.

Overall fairly good. Was an online course so not as involved as she'd be in reall person, I'm guessing. My questions were answered quickly and timely feedback.

There are 12 modules. A quiz after each module worth 3%, the 2 lowest grades are dropped. 1 assignment. 2 tests. Really easy, just do the reading.

professor lo is one of my favorite professors i have had in university. she is approachable and gives extremely clear instructions on what she expects on assignments. If you attend her class, (read the book) and study hard for her exams and attend class (participation points) you will get an A.

Comment:

While Dr Lo seems distant, if you can make her notice you, then she'll remember you forever and take interest in your education and career goals. If you listen to her, pay attention in class and follow her rubrics, you'll get an A. If you aren't interested in having to work hard, maybe University isn't for you.

Comment:

Elsa is very quick to answer emails and will reply extensively when required. However, I learn best with past-papers and taking notes from the textbook. When I asked her for some past papers, she ignored the question twice and finally decided not to give me any. The Sixth Canadian Edition of Educational Psychology is a textbook EVERYONE should read

Comment:

My classmates and I received no feedback on our work nor any idea of what our grades were until well into 2nd term. No one had any idea if they were passing or failing. The readings were very heavy. The textbook (Pearson) is very expensive, and includes an e-text and online component that no one is able to access because no course code was provided

Comment:

I think she could've been a bit more involved in the online course. By involved I mean, giving pointers of what topics we should really try to understand vs less important ones, powerpoints that don't come directly from the book might've been helpful. Perhaps pointing out articles from reader that are worthwhile.

Comment:

Seriously great teacher. The negative comments are from people who dont read the text book and who got a low mark. I did it intensive and ended up with an A-. I would take her again in a heart beat. We had a study group which helped a lot. Do practice tests and read the text book and you're fine

Comment:

honestly she is not that bad a teacher.I heard from students that took her class that her exams are hard but her exams are not hard at all. BUT: You have to read the book. If you study from the book you will do well. She is picky on what she wants in assignments you have to be very precise.

She was flexible, fair and friendly when I needed it. I think if she senses that you are a hard worker and are putting in the effort, she will fair.

If your read the course outline and what it says, you don't need to worry about getting a good grade. I took the online class and I like it.

The course itself when studying on you own is very interesting. BUT prof.Lo isnt helpful at all. She is extremely judgmental. The most difficult grader I have ever come across.Thought I was doing amazing until I received my final grade. Almost everyone I know failed.If someone else is teaching_AVOID

Comment:

Went to the first class where she told us that her class average is a C, although some people also fail. She then proceeded to tell the class that often it is in her courses that students discover that they have learning disabilities. Excellent class to take if you don't mind getting a horrible grade that will bring down your gpa, otherwise AVOID
