Tess is extremely helpful and puts a lot of effort in to make sure students succeed. She's an average marker- not super easy but not too difficult. She makes every very clear and easy for you to be student. If you can't do well in her class, she's not the problem. She gives extension if you really need and is always available to help.

Comment:

Tess is a fair marker and explained her assignments well. There were lots of opportunities for an easy grade boost- a grammar quiz, correcting a paragraph in an essay, or showing her your preparation for a research essay. Tess is a very sweet professor and I would recommend her to anyone! Stay organized and on topic and you will do well.

Comment:

I took 1127 with her a while back. I really enjoyed her class, especially the short stories that she picks are all interesting and worthy. She is very clear and respects and treats everyone equally (unlike Sandra Slade who does not mind insulting students due to her own insecurities).

Comment:

I found her to be very helpful. She's a tough marker when it comes to essay writings because she picks on grammar errors, but it's college we shouldn't be making those kinds of errors; Other than that she's a great teacher and I would recommend her!!

she was really picky and deducted marks for everything. She seems easy going and tells u it's fine but at end u don't get what u want. Evryting has to her way especially with the research paper. I wouldn't recommend her at all. Avoid if u can
