Comment:
One of the most arrogant profs employed at UBC. She has built a career illustrating the harm of colonial methods and practices, yet she treats people in exactly the manner she opposes. If you want to leave UBC with some shred of self-esteem, don't take her classes. She builds up her self-worth by taking other people down.

Comment:
Pretty terrifying. Her presence does not encourage participation at all. She makes no effort to make students feel comfortable in her class room. Her readings were really difficult at times but she was helpful in clarifying them.

Sneja is wonderful! I love her dry sense of humour. If you can write, you will get a good grade. Although she appears a little elite, she is amazingly intelligent. I would take more classes with her!

Comment:
Simply brilliant professor. Of course, you need to do your readings and be willing to participate actively in class. Her class is demanding,but you'll learn a lot not only about feminist theory models but also how to think outside of the box. She encourages and assisst hardworking students. One of the MUST have studying experiences at UBC.

Comment:
First impression was she was quite scarry and looked aloof, but actually she's quite helpful and motivating provided that you do your work in class and at home. If you're a serious student and is prepared to take a challenge, Sneja is the right prof to work with.

Comment:
Professor Gunew is a very interesting and helpful teacher. Her classes encourage participation and the opportunity to work out your ideas with others rather than just being lectured to. She is very busy, but this reflects the pressures on academics rather than anything to do with her teaching. I also enjoyed her dry sense of humor.

Comment:
If she were any more snide and contemptful of students, she might just give everyone an "F" outright. Though theory is challenging, it takes a gifted teacher to convey its relevance and utility. Gunew is neither a gifted teacher, nor much of a feminist, and should not be allowed to teach, period.

She's helpful if you've done some independent thinking before you ask. A brilliant but busy scholar. Frugal with words, so may appear cold on the outside, but actually warm person.

one of the worst profs I've had, didn't seem to care at all about her students, somewhat arrogant and wouldn't answer questions when you asked

Extremely lacking in intellectual generosity. More interested in her career than in students. Often condescending.
