Do not take any classes with her! Especially online classes! She is not helpful, or clear when giving instructors.

Comment:

This professor is awful. I thought that I would really enjoy her class and I hated it. Her syllabus is very confusing and cryptic, and I have no idea what rubric she uses for marking. She gives no guidance on what assignments are suppose to be and then gets upset when no one know what she wants. I would never take a class with her again.

WORST PROF EVER. Very unhelpful, gives everyone low marks, does not reply to emails without getting a dig in about you not reading the syllabus, even though the syllabus is exceptionally confusing, and makes a 3 page essay worth 40%.

Awesome Professor! Very engaging and really cares for the success of her students! As long as you go to class, keep up with the course website and complete the assignments/group work you will do great! She's really helpful and very quick on replying to emails!

Comment:

EXTREMELY VAGUE AND UNCLEAR ON ASSIGNMENTS. Do everything she says as well as the opposite :S. She says not everyone can get an A so I feel like she just roles a dice to decide which students get As and which ones get bumped down to a C!!! Terrible methods of instruction. Classes are useless. You will remember nothing when you leave this class!

Comment:

A great woman, but her instructions are vague & confusing. NO exams, just 5 small group assignments & 1 individual. You can Google her website to find everything you need to know about the course outline. Class attendance gets lower by the week. It's not a class you want to sit in for 3 hrs BUT she lets you out 1-2 hrs early!

Comment:

I took the online marketing course and the contents are different with the class. Those are very realistic and makes you to participate in the class. She is very generous for marks and most people get b or b+ in the class. I only saw her once in the on site test and was very nice.

Comment:

I won't recommend you to have her, she isn't helpful at all, and long and confusing materials and instruction, whenever ppl ask her for clarification on assign., she will just ask you to read her confusing instruction, which ppl don't understand at all.Beside that, if you are feminist type of person, take it and you will find it fun

Syllabus was way too long and confusing. Replies to emails with 3 to 5 words, not helpful. Instructions for essay not clear and too long. Needs to have a text book with more pertinent information, learned very little in this course.

Comment:

She's intelligent, I'll give her that. Other than that, she is terrible. An internet course with interesting material but you can't even understand her grading scheme and she marks incredibly difficult but gives no explanation to what she wants and there's no way to discuss marks. She is incredibly vague with what she expects. Very frustrating prof

Louise is passionate about her subject matter and teaching. She appears to be a bit out there but really knows her subject matter and will go out of her way to help students that express an interest.

Comment:

Louise=such an inspiring professor that anyone would feel lucky to have someone that cares so much, in a sea of professors who don't even come close to being as good as her. You learn so much from her class because she really engages the students and cares about what you think, as opposed to some theory. Very fair grading. Good class,great prof!

Comment:

Gender Issues in Mgmt- the course is very interesting. HOWEVER, she has a marker. She will not review your essay b/c she does not want to go against her marker!!! So although you can point out you were marked unfairly, it doesnt matter. If you have this situation from her.. take it to the dean.

Comment:

I thought I liked her but slowly realized that there are two sides. She likes what she teaches and for those students who she likes she is very nice, but then I got an essay back from her, with insults, not critism INSULTS written on it, and I realized she doesnt live up to her own standards of pedagogy. Not a fan.
