I've had her for three classes in my first year of university. She definitely made my transition from high school to uni amazing. She is the most caring, gentle person ever and I aspire to be like her one day. She is a hard grader, but not as hard as Warren Heiti (oh my god). She is super accepting and understanding. Favourite prof!!!!!

Maureen is excellent! Super caring prof, definitely worth taking the time to talk to and visit during office hours. She has the ability to make liberal studies a breeze of a class if you take the time to talk to her and take her feedback seriously!

Comment:
Maureen was a real treat. I have never been a very confident writer, so I took Liberal Studies as a means to get my English credit. She gave great feedback, was encouraging, and I got high marks on my essays for the first time in my life. She wants you to succeed, so go to the seminars and speak up every now and then.

Maureen is very understanding and caring. She gave great feedback on all of my writing assignments and really helped me improve. Her lectures sometimes tend to drag on but overall shes still a great prof. I made the mistake of not reading nearly enough of the texts and procrastinating too much but still did alright. She grades really fairly too

Maureen is lovely. She is VERY academic and has high standards for all written assignments. Very approachable but is a bit awkward socially. She is great otherwise. Must do the readings for her classes ( I took LBST 315 and LBST 360 with her).

AMAZING PROF!!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. SO CARING AND UNDERSTANDING. INTELLIGENT. She embodies what a professor should be like. David Livingstone and Mark Blackell could learn a lot about being human from her. She should give them private lessons on how not to be pretentious and condescending, although nothing would sink into their thick skulls.

Maureen is a fabulous lecturer, knowledgeable, open minded. Marking- being that she is a skilled editor, her standards are very high, difficult to get an A on a paper (make sure you have another "eye" to proof read anything before handing it in to her). She is very helpful at answering questions in and out of class. I enjoyed her and the class.

Maureen is very hard marker, especially considering she did not provide specific instructions on writing style. This comes from a student with straight A's in English. If you've had her then you'll know her preferred style.

Comment:
I only had Okun for lectures, as our class was split in to a few smaller groups for discussion classes. Her lectures were perfectly fine, but the memory that overwhelms everything else is that of her several-feet-long grey hair.

Fantastic professor, rare combination of a true intellectual and a gifted teacher. Genuinely respects and cares about her students. One of Malaspina's best, can't say enough good things about her. She's wonderful!

Maureen is the kind of person who speaks to everyone as though she knows, trusts, and likes them like a friend from Wayback. Also an excellent teacher.
