Comment:

I was surprised to see all the mediocre ratings given that the summer section only had two quizzes (all mcq) a final that was all mcq and a chill group report. She was very understanding of the circumstances that everyone's in and so considerate. Everyone did well according to the grade distribution too!

Honestly this class is supposed to by easy but she makes the exams so unclear on what the right answer is. She is nice I must admit but she doesn't prepare you for the exams. I even wanted to see my final because I thought I did well and got a bad grade she never answered me, I emailed a few times. And I am the type of person to study!

Comment:

This staffing class is admitted to be easy. Easy lectures and not heavy on homework. Some teachers can make hard courses easier and some can make easy class harder. I wouldn't take her if there were other choices. Her class is extremely long and pointless. i feel suffered sitting there.

She's a decent prof. Her lectures were straightforward and she's very clear about what you'll be tested on. Our class didn't do well on the midterm, so she made the final non-cumulative and more heavily weighted to help. Would take again!

Comment:

She is a nice teacher but gives very unclear instructions. It is almost impossible to know what she is expecting of you. Marks extremely hard and only provides general feedback. If you don't need to take this class don't do it.

The learning environment she creates is ok, but the way she marks the paper is extremely hard. It is better avoid her if you want have a good GPA!

Comment:

Very nice lady, good sense of humour. Classes are a little boring, but then again class usually is. Extremely helpful and patient if you see her for help. You can do well in this class just by studying the slides, but I'd recommend going over the textbook a little bit. She's not the easiest grader, but not the toughest. Would take her again.

Comment:

She is the opposite of inspiring, approachable and knowledgeable. If she's the only prof left and you have no choice to taker her for 222 (like me) come to every class for the attendance marks, but bring other homework, because her lectures are pointless. She has no practical experience with management, so why she teaches this class, I don't know.

Overconfident, conceited and not very clear. Always in a bad mood. Read the book and and understand the articles assigned.

Comment:

Avoid! She provides minimal feedback and does not grade fairly. Doesn't answer e-mails very often. Exams are all essays and TA takes off tons of marks with no reason. Everything is very vague. Her teaching methods are completely outdated and there is no group discussion whatsoever. Never asks questions or involves the class. Horrible class.

Comment:

Prof. does not connect with students in class. She is not very helpful, seems pissed off and grumpy most of the time. Her teaching methods are outdated and uninteresting. Her exams are essay style with one mid term project.

Comment:

She is the only prof for this course. Attendance is mandatory for participation marks. She doesn't give much feedback on the project. Although the course contents are very easy-there is not much material to cover (our final had 3 chapters!), no one got an A+ or A. The final is case based.

Comment:

This teacher has a good sense of humor and use mainly slides, videos and guest speakers.She likes the participation of students. You can read the textbook just to clarify terminology but it is not necessary to read it in detail. She has a T.A. to grade projects and exams. Exams are only essay questions but are doable.

Comment:

Her classes are really boring, but you MUST attend, both exams are around 25% on stuff we covered only in class not the book. Don't bother reading the book, follow her slides and you'll be fine. Make friends with her, she will love you for it, ask alot of questions. Left with an A-, but I was in the high range, she doesn't give much As.

Comment:

Not a good teacher, poor clarity, less effective on clarifying concepts. Does not reply emails and prepare students at all with the final exams point of view. You will hardly get a B if you will take her class. She will really make it hard for you to pass exam and the assignment.

Comment:

She is very helpful and has experience and knowledge. But She will deduct a lot of marks from your group assignment and finals. Be careful with your group assignments and finals.
