Comment:
This class as a whole was a bird course, the prof how ever made it difficult to enjoy. Somethings of the things she says in class are quite questionable and definitely doesn't think before she speaks. The course was useless and should not be a required course for biology majors. If you attend class/tutorials you'll pass with a high grade.

Comment:
She was inconsistent with her marking, moody, and mean to many of us for no apparent reason. If she reads this: There is a difference between being challenged to be better based on merit, and challenged on arbitrary grammatical marking techniques and ability to manage a prof's personality.

I have had her for 3 classes and I adore her. If you go to her class and simply say hi you are in her good books. Come with your work done and every now and then stop and ask her for "help" (even if you don't really need it). She WILL treat you better and your grade will improve. Shes tough, but super fair and forgiving.

If she is not a fan of you, she will fail you and find the smallest things to critique. Ive seen people who she loves get fantastic marks for sub-par work, and people she hates get awful mark for superior work. I had to get another prof to mark a paper for me, to justify getting higher mark then what she gave me. WORST PROF AT LAURIER.

Comment:
Grading scheme makes absolutely no sense and if you do not do what she wants in a specific way she won't hesitate to give you a horrible grade. If you take this class I recommend sucking up and participating in class. This is the first class i've taken in university with that much unfairinconsistent grading.

She definitely care and wants to do well...but her style is arbitrary, unorganized and emotional. I got an A- not from hard work, or from learning the most, but from sucking up and learning her ridiculous marking style.

Comment:
Course concepts are extremely simple/easy. Prof is very disorganized, and very unclear in her instructions. Also a very tough marker, and when challenged she is relentless. On the other hand, she is very willing to offer help or clarity. I recommend getting to know her in this course and attending class as it is reflected in your mark.

If you are a student who just wants a good mark for doing very minimal work do not take this course. She is a hard marker but it is possible to get a good mark in her class as long as you take it seriously and work hard. She will help you if you ask and if you have external problems that are effecting your mark she will try to help you.

The assignments for the courses are unnecessary, especially the activities that she assigns in tutorial. Wish we were given more time in class or tutorial to work in our group for the poster project. She is a extremely picky marker.

She's super passionate about what she has to teach which is good but the amount of work associated with this course was more then necessary.

Guinel is PASSIONATE about science, and about learning. She is a true academic, but as a professor she is very demanding. I was frustrated with the workload she gave us as it consumed my semester. That aside, I have to say she inspired me on a deep level to become more involved in my work. Id say that is a good teacher!

You can tell she does care about her students but she is ridiculously hard and cares more about your grammar than your education. During her lectures she would always mess up words and her excuse was "sorry English is not my first language" but would still correct you.
