Ahh Dr. Northwood is by far the best prof I've had at SFU! She explains concepts very clearly and in different ways to ensure every student understands the material. She also does amazing review sessions before exams where she highlights the most important information. I would take another class with her in a heartbeat!

Comment:

This class was one of the best classes Ive taken in awhile. The prof was just overall so thoughtful and caring, she made all her tests extremely fair. To do well on the exams, I recommend pretty much memorizing all the lecture slides & doing the Wiley plus/assignment questions (I didnt read the textbook much). Its very easy if you put in effort!

Lecture Material was quite interesting. However, the learning objectives and exam materials can sometimes be inconsistent. Exams were not bad tho. When asked with certain questions she commonly refers to the textbook. Her review sessions were ok at best although not the most efficient. She is very nice and quite passionate about teaching.

Dr. Northwood is literally the best! She makes MBB as fun as possible despite it being a hard course. Her exams are so easy if you just study her slides and are always so straightforward. No trick questions whatsoever and tells you exactly what she expects. Definitely recommend her for every MBB class!

Prof Northwood genuinely cares about her students. The course is pretty heavy, and she tries her best to teach you everything you need to know for the exams. If you want to do well in the course, study the Wiley questions, her lecture slides, and the tutorial questions.

Comment:

Dr. Northwood is such a cute professor. We faced several technical difficulties in this class, and I felt really bad for her since she didn't know what else to do. However, her exams were questions based on WileyPLUS, and she will tell you specifically what to study. She is very sweet and teaches you a lot to learn!

Dr. Northwood is one of the most passionate professors I have had. She obviously loves what she teaches, she is so sweet, and explains concepts very clearly relating it to real world situations. Her slides are way more detailed than her lectures so go to class to save the work.

She has an adjusted grading scale that makes 81% a B- and she has made no adaptations for students during covid 19. Her excuse is that she always done it this way. Has their always been a pandemic???? trash teacher.

Dr. Northwood made MBB 231 as painless as she possibly could. She clearly explained what would be on the exams, emphasized the most important material, and streamlined the material so that studying became a lot less overwhelming. Lectures often started with a funny anecdote, and she added a lot of humour to the sometimes dry material.

If Dr. Northwood taught any class, I would seriously be tempted to take it. She is amazing. Her lectures are clear and concise. I have perhaps in my long years at SFU never had a professor who was more clear on what they wanted you to know. She may have many exams, but it is because she wants to make sure you really understand the material

By far my favourite prof! I find people either love her or hate her with no in between but she's hilarious and she likes to talk about her cats. She makes it so easy to do well because she tells you exactly what to study. I promise if you go to lecture and listen to what she tells you to know you will do well.

I don't think I ever saw Dr. Northwood in a bad mood once. She's super friendly and easy to engage with. Her lectures are very digestible. Her grading was a little on the difficult side. Some tests she tried to make "easier" but wound up making them harder; at least for me and I may or may not be stupid lol. She was super clear about final material

Northwood is a pretty knowledgeable professor and creates a fun/relaxed environment. She relates material to real world stuff if you don't like the usual bland mbb material. Super clear on what's on the exam and so tests are relatively easy with the averages being around 76%.

Currently taking my 3rd course with Dr. Northwood. Made it my goal to take as many courses as possible with her. She brightens my spirits every time I enter her class. An MBB degree isn't complete until you've taken a class with this LEGEND. Her selfies with her cat, cat stories (disasters), and cat memes (that she makes herself) are hilarious
