Tara is a truly amazing prof. She goes above and beyond for all of her students. She is a tough marker, but she is also extremely fair. She really does care about her students and makes sure to check and re-check that everyone is following/understanding the concepts she is teaching. If you have the opportunity to take a class with her, you should!

Tara was an amazing professor! She always takes the time to answer all questions and will research the answer if she does not have it immediately. She gives thorough feedback on all assignments and is always available over email/office hours. I would highly recommend this course and Tara as the prof!

Tara is really great. She gives clear instructions and feedback to help you improve. Both text and lectures are needed for tests (quizzes). you complete 7 journals in the semester which are APA required. and weekly discussion board posts on black board. Does a great job engaging with students online!

Tara is an amazing woman! Shes super personable and tries to make connections with everyone so you feel safe in the classroom. Shes VERY test heavy though, so her courses will be difficult for you if you dont test well. Shes also very specific with her grading, so follow her guidelines and expectations!

She is a great person dont get me wrong, she just only has one way of teaching and thats it. She is not flexible or adaptable, she is stuck in the past .

Tara is an awesome teacher and I highly recommend her. She is very passionate and knowledgeable about what she teaches. Just pay attention, attend class and study the notes she gives. If you are striving for an A you will have to work for it. I personally didn't use the textbook and was okay, but for those who want a deeper understanding it's good.

Tara is an AMAZING prof who really gets to know her students and has a really unique interactive teaching style. Participation matters so it's important you get involved in discussions. She really makes you think and connect ideas (tough marker for written questions) but overall Sheb brings a fun and upbeat learning enviornment!

She is a really really awesome teacher. But do not expect a good grade unless you live and breath her class. No final or midterm but 7-8 tests worth a total of 65%.. and they are HARD. Shes also super strict about attendance. and has a mark for collegial contribution thats 5% that she is also for some reason really strict about

I've taken 2 classes with Tara and I can't stress enough how great of a prof she is! I learned so much from going to her lectures; not only can she explain the material well, but she also makes you think outside the box. That's why taking her courses has also helped me with my other crim classes. Tough grader but extremely knowledgable!

Tara is great. I feel as though some other reviews are just people who expected an easy A. Tara makes you work for your mark. Her tests aren't the "easy" type. You really have to know your stuff from her notes and the book. If you take crim and/or psyc it's not much new information from other courses. Overall good prof. Funny and easy to follow :)

Tara is exceptional. Her passion for the material is unmistakable and the lectures (and class discussion) she facilitates are vibrant and captivating. The material is absolutely do-able, her exams are fair, and her expectations are clear. She gave a very interesting and manageable topic for the term paper. I truly enjoyed being in her class.

You can tell she loves to do what she does, but she is really tough. I have tried to ask for her help and sort of feel a bit intimidated by her because she makes you feel stupid. She has her favourites so beware. Her marking is TOUGH and expects you to know everything almost word by word. I wouldn't take classes with her again.

Tara is an amazing instructor, I've had her for several classes. her lectures are long but she makes them very easy to sit through. the content is interesting if CRIM is your thing. I would highly recommend - Usually no "tests" but there are weekly quizzes usually about 8-10% per quiz but they are usually out of about 50 or 60 marks each

Amazing! So far my favourite teacher. I can understand how people can THINK she is rude but you can't take it personally. If you are in the YJ program, I can see you getting along with her much easier than if you are just taking a Crim class with her. Hard marker, but she makes you think. All in all, amazing teacher and I recommend her!

I loved Tara! She makes you work hard but her assignments are fairly graded. I slacked off and almost failed my first exam, studied hard and almost aced the second one. Her lectures are extremely engaging and the only class I actually looked forward to.
