Comment:
She is very set in the way she approches her lectures. I found that she jumped from topic to topic so it was very hard to keep up with what she was currently lecturing on. It was also never clear as to what she wanted in terms of her papers, asking her led to more questions.

Comment:
Sure Dr Daviau is a hard professor, but she makes things interesting and come to life. I had her for a 3 hour night class and time actually passes with her rather than standing still. And go and talk to her and ask her if you are confused, she is fine with giving suggestions on where to look for research information.

Comment:
I thought she was quite old fashioned in her approach to the material. And she is not at all very open to new approaches. A bit of a dinosaur. I went to U of T after her course, and it was much more progressive. She doesn't keep up with new ideas.

This woman is FANTASTIC! She knows her stuff, and is demanding of her students, which one should expect from senior level courses. I've worked for her for three years now, and she definitely cares about her students, although she's not so keen on people who aren't completely passionate about her specialty. I have a lot of respect for her though.

Wow, a lot of people have given bad ratings. I thought Prof Daviau was awesome. She may be hard but she just doesn't give you marks for when she knows you're making stuff up. She wants you to know things. At least you will come out knowing more than you do now.

Comment:
I was sorry to read so many off-putting remarks for Dr. Daviau. She is demanding of her students, but rightly so; she is an excellent professor in possession of a wealth of knowledge & a true enthusiasm for her discipline. I have always found her to be helpful and accommodating. So stop complaining, people! We're lucky to have her.

Sure, her classes are hard but they are senior level courses so suck it up. I honestly learned more in the two classes I had with Dr. Daviau than all of my other archaeology courses.

Best professor in department. People blame her because they are stupid and won't work hard. Stupid people won't get by in her classes, and that to her credit. No freebies in her classes or in life so get used to it loosers!

You have to work for every mark, but your study and research skills will improve drastically. High expectations that will either make or break you as a student. Rather than blame her, try pushing yourself a bit.
