Comment:
I have had a very bad experience this semester taking Dr. Farough's class. I found that she often speaks down to the class, not afraid to chastise students. She was incredibly unclear in her expectations, and in her feedback for assignments. She grades extremely harshly, with little to no feedback on how to improve. I can not recommend her ever.

Comment:
i will say that this has probably been one of the worst classes i have EVER taken, She is extremely rude, she gives almost nothing but criticisms on any assignments, takes forever to mark basically anything you hand her, she has made statements in fem theory where you would think "for a fem theory prof, that's messed up", do not take her classes!!

Comment:
Half baked generalized statements without fact checking. Bigoted and disrespectful of indigenous culture. Sorry for the men in fem theory. I made a joke and everybody laughed she hated it, knows she doesnt have charisma Long awkward pauses when she asks questions no one wants to participate; agree with her or you're wrong. Takes too long marking

Comment:
She was really strict and came off super rude. Not going to lie, I skipped a lot and that messed up my exam grades! Usually only gives 2 exams, 1 midterm and 1 final. There was a group project that was kinda fun but she was super specific on what she wanted but didnt tell us ahead of time.. wouldnt take her class again

Dawn is a terrible prof- do not take her class if you can. Tough grader, not clear with what she wants, and only gives 2 tests and one assignment so if you're not doing well theres not a lot of chances to improve your mark. She was rude to me a few times too.

Dawn is a good prof! I'm not sure why she has so many poor reviews. There were only 2 tests and one assignment all year, but I thought her grading was fair. She even assigned specific page numbers from the text, we weren't required to read each chapter in full. Have good attendance and study the core concepts (which she provides) you will succeed.

Really great class with her! She explained concepts very well and had clear examples. Some might think her lectures were a little dull, but I really enjoyed the way she relayed information. Not an easy marker, but not a difficult one either. She really knows what she's talking about!

Dawn is a very difficult grader and she's often times not very clear with what she wants from her students. I've never failed anything besides her class. I will never recommend to take her classes. I just took it for an extra credit.

Please for the sake of your grade do not miss class. Make friends in said class in case something happens that you need to be aware of...

This is the worst class I have ever taken. It's her way or the highway and any other views are either shut down or discouraged. Especially in a class like sociology it is valuable to have voices heard. She is rude and inconsistent when it comes to marking.

Comment:
Its either her way of thinking or no way of thinking. She outlines what she may want, but if you have a different train of thought getting there then she dismisses it completely. She is of no help even when you go see her. Don't recommend taking this class at all.

Worst professor I have ever had. She was sick for more than 5 weeks in a row and couldn't give quizzes out each week because of her absences so she gave them all back to back during the last 3 weeks. Loved to watch movies and rarely gave a proper lecture. Class would have been great without her.

Comment:
Dawn is without a doubt the worst teacher on campus. Instead of actually teaching, you watch movies and regurgitate it back at her. All the reviews that say she hates men are accurate. Not only that, she ignores actual facts when they don't support her opinion. If I could give her zeroes I would. Avoid at all cost.

Good class, gave us notes that were very easy to follow and stuck to the textbook and used it lots. Tests are easy if you keep up with the textbook reading and study the notes. Would definitely want as a teacher again

Dawn was very fair. She does have weekly quizzes based on the readings, but they are very simple and can boost your mark greatly. Dawn very much enjoys discussion and you will profit from being an engaged student. For midterms and finals she would give you a list of terms to know.there are lots, but if you know them well you are set for the test!

Dawn will make you work very hard for your grade! In some classes she has weekly quizzes- make sure you've done your readings (easiest way to boost your grade)! Dawn picks favorites. She likes sociable people who contribute to discussion. If you don't attend class you will suffer- example: easy quizzes and exam hints in classes with few students.

Dawn is a very knowledgeable professor who is easy to talk to. She answers questions clearly if you ask the question clearly and is a fair and consistent marker on all papers and tests. Be sure to do the readings for this course as there are quizzes and discussion on the material read.Very Enjoyable class :)

It's very difficult to think critically in that class - What Dawn says is the truth and don't question it. If you need this course like me, you should be good at swallowing your pride. Not easy to be a man in that class.

Comment:
Dawn is a great prof. She's clear in what she expects, easy to approach, and doesn't just regurgitate the textbook for the entire lecture. She did give pop quizzes, but as long as you do the readings before the lecture you'll be perfectly fine. I really enjoyed her class and will take more classes with her.
