Comment:
2017: LECTURES WERE SOOOOOO DRY. i have never been so bored during a class, was a great time to catch up on other classes. She expects you to read a lot, but she gives you interesting novels. She is a very tough grader, extremely picky on exams and midterms. She can come across as sweet, but can also be very sassy (not in a fun way)

Comment:
Brace seems nice at first look, but she's not as cute as she appears. Her lectures are VERY boring, and she never comes to class prepared. She wings half the things she says most of the time. Grading wise, it's confusing. One paper she could be an easy marker, the next it seems like she didn't even read it.

Comment:
I had Patty back in 2001-2002 and I agree with all the comments that she is a tough marker. I had to take her classes since they were compulsory courses. She's a great lady but get ready to work really hard for a max grade of 72 or 73. I wonder if anyone could honestly comment that they received an A in her class?

I loved Patti- she was a great teacher. A real tough grader, definitely not a class to take for an easy A. Quite a few papers, but overall she really made sure I understood the texts and was always open when I needed help.

I love Patti - she's brilliant and funny and passionate about things that I didn't think I was interested in but I could see her point. I'd take her again

Great teacher. She's a tough marker with essays, but it only pushed me harder, which is what a good prof should do. Sometimes it was hard to get a class discussion going, and she'd get peeved when no one responded to a question asked. Overall, good prof.

Patti is one of my favorite teachers here. She's kind, helpful and very understanding. It's so easy to talk to her and I have had no problem asking for extensions on assignments. I would definitely take one of her classes again and recommend you take her class.

I loved having Patti as a prof. She was able to keep me fairly interested in what was going on, and when though I didn't read most of the material, I was still able to understand what the books were about! I would love to take a class with her again!

Comment:
Patty definitely does love the subject she teaches, and is a very nice person. However, her classes are very dull and boring, and usually cover material that never appears on tests. Her marking is also really hard! I would avoid taking a class with her at all costs!

Did not enjoy this class at all. Could have easily done it at home on my own. She uses sparknotes!!! Not a good teacher! Did not help when asked. Would never take her class again.

Comment:
I am astounded by these comments. Patti is LU's finest English professor. She is consistently intelligent in lectures, and helpful in her feedback. She actively engages with students' writing on even the most mundane papers. And the comments that imply she is unduly harsh to male students are simply untrue.

Comment:
Patricia Brace is the best professor I have had at Laurentian. She knows her subject, and makes it as intresting as it can be. It is very clear she loves her job. As for the grades, she is a fair grader, and if anything in your personal life would arise, she is more tha willing to give you a few days grace for your projects.

Comment:
Well, she's thorough but gives too much info so you have to sort through to find the relevant stuff. Quizes aren't too bad if you do the reading. Essay marks are sort of low. She's nice, and tends to give the same mark based on first assignment
