Comment:
I was very surprised by this instructor. I approached her after class for clarification on a comment that she made about my writing and she made some very unprofessional comments. After attending two more classes with her I eventually transferred to a different section after she insulted me during a class discussion. Surprising behaviour.

Comment:
Laverne is very nice. I found that she tried to be fair to everyone and to each person's point of view, even when difficulties arose. The activities done in this class were different from what I expected, but it worked out well. As long as you read the material before class, you were alright.

Comment:
I hated her style of teaching. She forgot things often, once actually repeated the same lesson plan from the previous class. She's getting to old and stubborn to teach. Second worst teacher yet. (Lisa Storozynski is worse)

Her feedback and criteria are very unclear. As already stated, she either loves you or hates you (if she hates you drop the course while you still can).

Comment:
She's either really sweet and nice, or scary as hell. There's no in between and no predicting when her mood will swing. I found her to be very disrespectful to her students and a huge time waster. If you can't accept that only her opinion matters in the class discussions, don't take her class.

Comment:
I think LaVerne has a passion for teaching english and wants to see her students succeed. She is helpful and friendly. Some people might take her sense of humour as mean but she's really very sweet. She challenges her students but she also gives her expectations right away and helps you to acheive them. I have learned a lot from her!

I don't know what all of these people are talking about! As much as I was dreading taking English 105, I ended up enjoying it with Lavern! She was sweet and you could tell she is very passionate about what she does. Don't listen to these bitter English students!!

Comment:
I have never met a more deceitful woman.DO NOT take her class if you are disabled unless you enjoy discrimination.DO take her class if you have time to learn from failing.She believes you learn more from failing than learning. She needs to retire before the university comes to it's senses.

Comment:
Laverne is an extremely helpful university level instructor. She challenges her students to think "outside of the box". I took Eng 099 with her and drove out to Chilliwack to take her Eng 105. She expects university level work from her students. But she respects her student's opinion and cares

She comes off as a nice lady, but she's always making people feel inferior and dumb if they do something wrong. I did well in the class but I don't agree with her teaching style.
