Comment:
This class is the hardest class I have ever taken in my life. Dr. Later is an unbelievably hard marker, ALWAYS posts lectures 1-2 weeks late, takes forever to return marks for papers, and seems to mark papers in regards to what she wants to hear, even if the criteria for the assignments state that you can have your own opinion, not just hers.

Lectures are super interesting and engaging. Incredibly tough marker who gives very little feedback/resources to help you improve.

Had a course with her last semester and still have not received my grade. Thought maybe it was bad timing for her as to why she was late for everything but guess not. I have another class with her tomorrow (couldnt avoid it) for new semester and have not received any word from her, even after emailing her last week...

Nearly impossible to get an A. She took weeks and sometimes even over a month to grade papers and was not clear on requirements for most papers.

Loved the content and found her grading fair. However, her lectures were about two weeks late the whole semester and the schedule for papers and tests was not adjusted. I am still waiting for marks and the next semester starts in a few days. I would not take her online classes again due to a lack of care and punctuality.

Comment:
AWFUL. There was little to no criteria for papers and she marked insanely hard. Seems as though you needed to write what she wanted to hear even if she asked for your own opinion. Shes late for everything, lectures were 2 to 3 weeks behind, I STILL have not received my final grade and she does not email back in a timely manner. Yikes.

Comment:
She started the class late, stayed 1-2 weeks behind on lectures the whole time and didn't even have them all uploaded by exam time; her lectures seemed poorly prepared and dull. She hasn't handed back almost any grades, even now, and the one she did hand back I found was ridiculously harsh for how she teaches and with unclear criteria. AVOID HER.

Not sure how she teaches in person but DO NOT do an online class with her. She was 2 weeks late to post EVERY lecture but kept all the due dates the same (didnt even have all the lectures out before the final exam was due). I have handed 3 papers in and have gotten no feedback so far, first was handed in in November. She also doesnt email back.

The only thing was that I felt like to get a good grade in my writing, I needed to write what she wanted to hear rather than my actual opinion. So yeah, she says shes a hard marker and its true

If you're an international student - run. Even a bright Canadian student doesn't really have a chance to get an A. The course is unbelievably hard and Genevieve is the toughest grader I've ever met. However, her lectures are amazing, very informative and interesting. This course with her will work for you if you're exceptionally good already.

Dr. Later's intro to uni writing was overall a good class for me. Lectures are discussion based and if you take notes of the important points and tips she gives you will do well. Lots of reading assigned, but attendance is the most important. She is a hard marker, but if you can really understand what she expects ( which can be hard) you'll do good

Comment:
Over the course of the semester I found that Dr. Later was very open to offering outside help to me however, I felt as if it was more of a waste of time than being beneficial to my writing. She would communicate that my work and effort was exceptional but would consistently be overly critical, almost to the point of being unfair.

One of the harder teachers I have had, however if you are ready to put in the work the results will come. Always very approachable and is happy to take time to help you improve on your writing. Usually alot of reading, however you can get by in the course by not doing the readings and just attending the lectures to get the notes.

Comment:
Genevieve is respected, professional, and old fashioned with her teachings. She has a no electronics rule (she will call you out in class), and loves working with very old stories. I found her to be a little disrespectful towards some students at times but all together she was a fine prof and if you have to take her class, you'll survive.

Comment:
Do not take Genevieve as a business student. Teaches English from a artistic perspective, not an applicable one. Very poor teacher, and teaches a course that lacks real lectures and tests on material not covered. Course was more useless than glow in the dark sunglasses. Example she asks for first person in a course called intro to uni writing.

Comment:
If you can accommodate Genevieve, she will accommodate you. As a teacher she is a Yoda with gifted vision and soul of philosopher,with diplomacy and shrewdness of a business person. She has the skill-set and tenacity to help her students, but the nature of somewhat thankless job deters her from it, and rationalizes her students as University grade.

It was a 3 hour lecture, but I was engaged the whole time. She has lots of interesting things to say and the class discussions were really good. The content for the final exam was all based on what we discussed in class, so attendance was mandatory. I enjoyed her so much that I looked up what she was teaching next semester so I could take her class

Comment:
The class was a waste of time. She gave a 10 minute lecture on the semi-colon, a 5 minute lecture on the colon and told us what pages to reference in the textbook for citations. I was mainly graded on 3 major papers and she is highly critical, but does not always give very clear instructions as to what she expects.

I really liked this course because it really made me think at a university level. Her lectures were really interesting because she really made us think about different types of issues and topics that are not discussed on a daily basis.
