Comment:

Gillian is one of the most disorganized profs I've ever had! We never got assignments back, and she was way overdue on the final marking deadline. I emailed her twice because I wanted to pick up an assignment I handed in, and she never responded. She would always send announcements on D2l about the trips she was on which she skipped class for too!

Comment:

Gillian was the most disorganized professor I have ever seen. Grades for assignments were not given back until basically the start of the new semester, much after the official school deadline for final grades. All assignment guidelines were unclear, and changes were made to assignments extremely close to the deadline. Would not recommend taking.

VERY disorganized and rude to students, not easily available (forgets office hours and does not care to reschedule). Misses her own lectures and expects us to be there.

Sadly learned nothing from this course. Thought I would leave with more Typography knowledge but doing an assignment on emoji's isn't exactly the kind of university content I thought I signed up for. An unfortunate experience that was mostly taught by other students.

Gillian is nice when you talk to her one-on-one, but she doesn't know how to properly teach this class! She's knowledgeable on the content, but is unorganized and doesn't give clear instructions. It's been two weeks since marks were supposed to be on RAMSS, but I'm still waiting. This class was my open elective, and I've never been so disappointed.

This prof doesnt help you in the slightest. One time a student had to literally force her to answer a question that it is her job to answer, the student then said that she needed to teach that to all of us, to which she replied you try telling that to 250 students. That student then helped all of us for the rest of the lab, while she did nothing

Gillian is positivily the worst Professor I have had in my entire school career. For assignments she either gives no instructions at all, or gives vague details that she will later contradict to another section. She has just given back ONE of our marks over a week after we completed our final exam. If this class isnt not necessary do NOT take it.

Worst professor ever. A disorganized mess. Wastes class time pointlessly talking about her vacations. Inconsistent outlines & tells different class sections varying instructions. It's currently 8 days after our final exam and we have yet to receive a single mark back in the course, besides a tiny in-lab exercise only worth 2%. #WHEREAREOURMARKS

Comment:

The most unorganized prof i've had. She cares more about talking about herself than the assignments. She doesn't always give outlines for projects and when she actually does they have spelling mistakes and other errors. She claims that her field requires attention to detail but she seems like she pays little attention to this class.

She is the most disorganised proffessor I have ever met, doesn't know how to communicate, and talks way too much about herself. Students have no idea what to do for assignments or when assignments are due because she doesn't provide a rubric or written instructions. She changes her verbal instructions in almost every class. even TA's are confused.

This is by far the most disorganized course I have ever been in, no one knows what is going on in this class most of the time including Gillian herself. She constantly contradicts herself and it really seems impossible for her to clearly tell us what she expects from us for the assignments. This class had so much potential to be really fun but no.

this one of the MAIN reasons why I even went to GCM and was looking forward to this course the most. I was so disappointed by Gillian organization skills and efficiency. I'm sure she's very nice but the class is so messy and all assignments are given at once with no sense of direction or guidance.

No sense of organization, no sense of awareness in the class. Doesn't know her material and has zero contingency planning. Class was extremely clueless and had to acquire help from fellow peers.

By far the most disorganized, unclear and frustrating prof I've ever had. Spent majority of the lecture talking about her trips and irrelevant things. Very strict with deadlines, yet didn't even mark some of our projects for our final grades! No feedback for why marks were deducted on projects. Overall terrible experience with this prof.

All instructions were vague, changed days before the deadline, and had misspellings. It is a requirement for GCM students but optional for students from other schools. She is the only prof - avoid at all costs and take something else if possible. Will inject snide remarks while you attempt to complete the most basic tasks.
