Comment:
I was not particularly interested in the subject before this class but Nikki's passion for the subject and willingness to discuss in the class made it much more interesting and made the workload more tolerable! She is a difficult marker, but she is fair and willing to discuss any assignment with you. Very good at email correspondence.

Great Prof. Super Smart. Big on social justice. Love it how half the students on here think she is a) biased b) a tough marker . . . :-) sounds like a case of very sour grapes to me!

Her class was terribile. She was completely bias in her lectures, and extremely boring to listen too. Her class angered me so much I dropped it.

Comment:
I found her comments and criticisms to be completely useless and more a matter of her own opinion. I felt that even when I went for help I could not get a clear sense of what she thought an A paper would look like. Her lectures are long ramblings and it is hard to get the point of her arguments.

Comment:
This is the worst professor I have ever been subjected to. She should not be teaching. She rants on and on about nothing. God (oh my bad, she hates God and religion and has no respect for anyones beliefs) help you if you disagree with her opinion or present YOUR own point of view. Ummm. isn't that what Grad school is all about???

She is a hard marker when it comes to papers. But the course is really interesting. The reading load is managable and she loves to discuss. Awesome class!!

If you are in Education avoid this class at all cost. It is a waste of time and you learn absolutely nothing. In addition, this instructor asks way too much of students and has extremely high expectations. I have heard nothing but negative comments from her students.

Comment:
Absolutely the most horrible instructor I have ever had in 4 years at UBC. Seems to delight in belittling students. Best way to fail is to disagree with her or offer a different opinion than hers. Avoid at all costs.

Arrogant, twisted individual who offers her own opinion as fact. Hard marker unless you totally suck up. Referencing her work will help your mark.

Comment:
Strong minded woman w/ deep rooted opinions & views. Good at keeping office hours for help, but seems no one knows how to write a proper essay even after 4 years of university education. Not even English majors. Did well if expressed same opinions as hers in essays. Questionable marking procedures.

This woman really knows her stuff and helps anybody who's willing to ask for her help. She has high expectations but not unreasonable. If you still haven't mastered the English language, you might have a problem with her marking but I didn't!!!

Very strict expectations, apparently even English majors don't know how to write properly. Most of our class was advised to go to the writing center for support.
