Comment:
LITERALLY WORST CLASS IVE EVER TAKEN! I still talk to class mates about how awful she/the class was. I learned nothing. She marks super hard and picky and anything that isn't her opinion/perspective was wrong. Plus the stuff she got us to read was so boring and no one liked it. 10/10 would not recommend.

Comment:
Joanne is very picky in marking, yet she herself frequently makes a lot of spelling mistakes. Very disorganized, rude and unhelpful also. Failing the midterm means failing the course. More than half of the class failed. Avoid at all cost.

Comment:
Worst instructor I have ever taken. She will give your full marks for assignment as long as they are submitted on time, but she will fail you literally for 1%. If you are fail in midterm worth of 20%, you are fail in course. She does not care about rest 80% of course . She will give you F grade in midterm just because of grammatical mistakes.

Comment:
Joanne is a fine and helpful prof. Her marker on the other hand is an absolute handful. The marker does the most intense and picky marking i've ever seen from anyone at Langara. Grading is inconsistent between the prof and the marker. The marker deducts points for the most obscure things and there is 0 room for error in your writing. 3/10 class.

Comment:
Professor Horwood was extremely disorganized. Her course material was littered with misspellings and was really difficult to follow. She arrived 10 minutes late for our midterm and forgot certain materials. Overall I was really disappointed in this course.

First half - she marked so hard, wasnt helpful, but got A- on the final. A lot of people dropped, failed their first paper or got C-. Im pretty the final was scaled, we were all doing pretty bad before. I went to see her for help, sometimes she was good, at times she didnt give you anything. Make sure you write her way, structure is key!

Dr. Horwood was great! The novel was actually really good and easy to work with! Participation in class is combined with easy weekly worksheets for 15% of your grade. There were 3 essays, 2 short, 1 long. She is available and willing to talk outside of class to help with your essay. Mid-term and final were both essays, but not super hard.

You have homework every single week. This was honestly the easiest part... it was easy to get marks because of this but be prepared to fail during in-class essays and take-home essays. The highest mark for our take-home essays was a C+... everyone else got C/D. She is a VERY hard marker and when you ask her for help she knocks all your ideas down.

Very dismissive of students opinions. Her opinion is the only right one. If you dont make your essays on something she already thinks you get a bad mark. Makes essays a sort of pressure that feel impossible to succeed. If youre taking this mandatory class, good luck.

I took her online class and she seemed VERY disorganized. Her expectations kept changing and I found it difficult to navigate as she posted things all over the place. Maybe shes better in person- but I wouldnt recommend doing an online class with her.

Very tough grader, picks on the tiniest things. No way to please this teacher unless she writes your paper for you herself.

Comment:
She is not clear with her grading. Several people in the class didn't understand what was expected of them. And the few times I went to office hours I left feeling more confused than before. She does not listen to what you say but only wants to hear herself talk and she thinks she's the only one who's capable of the "right" ideas.

I won't be taking her classes again. The lectures were terrible, the teacher constantly forgot class materials, her line of thought, extremely disorganized. We were behind on the subjects we were supposed to learn. She made a laughable amount of mistakes in her own work (even many spelling errors) but penalizes you a lot for your own small mistakes

I found her course fun and interesting. She expects you to attend class and work hard. You can not just attend her class and expect to slide by with a bare minimum effort or attitude - which is what is expected of college! Speak up! Interact in class. Work hard. Shes very fair and always able for help if needed. Her lectures are very interactive!
