Comment:

The assignments along with the exams were not too difficult, however effort needed to be put into the assignments. She is a fast grader, and I received my grades for everything within a week and a half of submitting them. Participation in her classes is very important, especially in any online class. She is a very reasonable professor.

Comment:

She has a hilarious and bit of a dark sense of humour which made going to lecture enjoyable. Considering it was an English course, there was a reasonable amount of reading with one novel covered over two or three weeks. Hard marker. She picks apart your essay and points out even small grammatical errors.

This Prof is hands down one of my faves. She was so nice and easy to talk to regarding assignments and very understanding. Her assignments are very easy if you read the outline and follow her instructions. Definitely recommend her and her classes!

Comment:

She seems like a really nice and caring person and is also smart and funny, so I would have loved to hear more from her, rather than the class. Since it is very discussion oriented, you hardly learn anything. The material is interesting and so are the readings she chose so this class had the potential to be better than it was.

Comment:

I had her last semester for British Lit and she is great. She's quirky, pretty funny and really sweet. Although, I find that she often lets discussions go on for too long, especially when people in the class aren't saying anything of significant value. She does take home midterms and exams which is fabulous as well. Overall she's really great.

Comment:

The first time I had her in Children's Lit I did not like her at all. HOWEVER, I had her the next year for social crime and critique and she was incredible! It was one of my favourite classes EVER and she opened my eyes to a whole new genre of English Literature! So even if you didn't like her in 210, try the crime class, it's great!

Lectures were very interesting with a wide variety of material used. I could recommend this course and this professor! The only negative is that she takes awhile to return assignments, but that may be because she is teaching other courses.

I loved having Bryce-Wunder for two of my classes. she is funny and loves getting the class into discussions or debates. she has great insight and is extremely intelligent and kind. her exams are easy but her essay marking is pretty difficult.

Comment:

She is phenomenal, and makes me proud to be in my program. Dr. Bryce-Wunder cares about what her students have to say, and is always looking for people to add their own insight to her class. She opens your mind, plays with it, makes you giggle because of it, and is an absolutely fair marker - you definitely get out of her courses what you put in.

Comment:

I really enjoy her classes. Her tests (including the final) are really easy if you have paid even the slightest bit of attention. I will agree with previous comments that she does tend to let discussions go on too long. She isn't the easiest marker in the world for essays, but she's fair, and gives good comments if you bother to get in in on time

Comment:

Bryce-Wunder is a national treasure. A TREASURE! Not only is she quirky to boot, but she has such an appreciation for the underbelly of Scottish culture. She may seem intimidating, but she is soooo freaking cool.... I have been in two of her classes and have yet to be disappointed... plus, she appreciates an opinion. A++

Comment:

In my opinion, this is a very disorganized, unprepared, vague prof. Like other students have said, her slides are WAY too cluttered and provide little guidance for students. She never cuts students off. She's a weird marker, and is apparently above putting comments on work. AVOID HER, NOT WORTH IT!!

This prof is very unapproachable and nervous...What I learned most this term, is about three people in the class, their little brothers, their childhoods, THEIR B.S. .. Hello I didn't sign up to learn about some chicks lifestory!! Avoid this class...its a WEE BIT average as the prof might say!
