To do well in her class just spew back what she tells you during tutorials. She is a nice person who is willing to give extensions when needed. Not great but not terrible.

If you are a first year student, I would advise avoiding her at all costs. She expects you to be 100% accurate with your answers as well as participation being the driving force behind her tutorials.

If you are an average student on a full course load, this will be your worst nightmare. She is one of the most unpleasant leaders and she is very vague. I recommend staying as far away from her as possible.

She will contradict herself and unless you do not do a bit of extra work she will deduct marks. Also, she is a very tough marker to say the least. She will explain books read thoroughly however which is somewhat good.

Please save yourself and do not take a course with her. She reads directly off a sheet of paper, uses the most USELESS power points, posts nothing online and cannot help her students for the life of her. She needs to seriously re-evaluate her teaching methods because she does not help her students at all. How she got hired at York is beyond me.

Comment:
Marcia Bell is completely ignorant on almost all aspects of the course she taught. Her mediocre lectures consisted entirely of her reading directly from her notes. Frequently mispronounced words like "Tallard" and "Miramichi" made her quite difficult take seriously, considering the course was on Canadian history.

Marks inconsistently. Abrasive to hear and to look at. Contradicts herself constantly, which makes it difficult to know what she expects of you in an exam or on assignments. Terrible.

Everything about her is pretty much annoying-her lectures, voice, marking style, fashion. She cares SO MUCH about spelling, grammer & detail-its scary! She does not willingly help you out on exams/essays/assignments. But you will learn a lot in her classes & she will easily give you extensions to hand in assignments!

I just completed HUMA 1740, and I must say that Bell is one of the worst professors I've had. She rambles on in lectures, doesn't know very much on subjects, and is extremely slow in returning tests/assignments.

Comment:
Her lectures were long and boring, she interjected her opinions on political parties. Feedback was non-existent, rarely returned papers. Always had an excuse that she was so busy with her other full time class. The only opinion I wanted from her was how I was doing in class - that never happened. Don't waste your time with this prof!

I have her as a tutorial leader for english and half the time she just rambles on. She is always unprepared for the tutorials and sometimes she dosent even do the readings. She dosent come with any substantial notes and she also takes extremely long to mark papers. She quite obviously shows preferences to certain students and ignores the others.

She seems to be a better TA than she is a prof, i have her for a TA for my english, and she's ok. however in HUMA 1800, she's my prof and is totally ridiculous. also, she takes VERY LONG to mark assigments. very long.

she's extremely prepared, well-educated and knows what she's talking about. She's able to refute anything thrown at her.
