Vipond marks WAY to hard. DO NOT TAKE HER if you are not SUPER SERIOUS about learning everything she's talking about (I wouldn't know, I dozed off half the time). Not easy, not fun, definately NOT RECOMMENDED.

Comment:
Vipond is extremely knowledgabl, although not the most vibrant personality or teaching style. She is a lovely woman, very appraochable, and extremely helpful. However, I think that perhaps she is not for everyone, and if you are not that interested in History, then perhaps you need to stay away from her classes. For serious students only.

someone wake me, I fell asleep. Soooooo boring, interesting books but poor delivery of information. I often find myself dozing off or just looking outside for the most part of the class.

Terrible. At any given point 1/3 of the class was asleep. It was so hard to stay awake. DO NOT TAKE.

I really do not understand all the negative comments that are posted here. Dr. Vipond is very clear and informative. I recommend taking this course.

Comment:
Dr. Vipond delivered decent lectures throughout the course. She occassionally threw in a personal anecdote to liven up the history. She has specific knowlege of Canadian broadcasting history, and a strong enough general knowledge of Canadian history to be effective. The text for this course is an excellent accompaniment for the lectures.

Comprehensive knowledge of the subject matter. But doesn't really speak in the most interesting way. Text books were awful. Canadian History in General is uneventful I think.

Mary Vipond is an amazing resource for us to have at Concordia (she wrote "The Mass Media in Canada"). She really knows what she's talking about, and is helpful and approachable. She seems to work better with smaller class sizes.

Dr. Vipond is very boring and unsure of everythig she teaches. She poses every ten seconds to think about what she'll say and that makes her class a nightmare. She's not interesting and makes you regret taking her class...
