Comment:
Her lectures can be a bit dry, but they are very clear and well-organized, and the labs are awesome. Exams are easy as long as you take good notes and study a reasonable amount. My only complaint was the text book, which cost me $230 and wasn't used nearly enough to be worth the cost.

Passionate, but the course was dry. Maybe not her fault though. Pretty sure I fell asleep once or twice. Don't spend the $180 on the book.

I'm taking my 3rd class w/ Gay. I love her.While 111 and 213 were dry (all lecture) the info was interesting and she is passionate. LOVE the labs. Didn't use the texts. You must take notes to get a decent mark. She's very accommodating if you miss a lab. I really like her classes.

She is a good teacher as long as you take decent notes, anything she writes on the board write down. Multiple choice is for the most part is fair, (make sure you read the vocab from the text) but she marks hard on the written parts of her exams, be specific with dates.

Comment:
Terrible teacher, I'm sorry but you can study all you want from the textbook and find as many practice questions online and it's still difficult to succeed in her course. Boring lectures straight from her own notes put you to sleep and no study guide or hints for tests is ridiculous. If you are looking for a B go for it, anything higher forget it!

Comment:
She never uses the text, although it is manitory to the coarse. You have to read outside of class time. In class, she tends to go off on wild tangents about things that excite her, escpecially mummy children. All of her lectures hold something relevant to the coarse, so it is best too copy everything down.

Comment:
Gay is a lovely prof. It is clear that she is passionate about the subject. If she could somehow incorporate a bit more interactive learning, it would be even better. Her exams are challenging but fair though sometimes her multiple choice questions focus too specifically on dates. She is a fair marker when it comes to written work.

Comment:
She's a pretty decent professor, almost seems a little condescending at times though. Tests are of average difficulty but she focuses on eras and dates and places too much! I cant rememeber all that! What's her accent? I cant tell! She'll get annoyed if you talk to your friends in class

Gay is an extremly knowledgable teacher and cares about what she is teaching. She is very easy to talk to and has a great rapport with her students. Her exams are not easy but they are not that hard, just do the readings and go to class and you will pass. She is very leniant and listens to her students.
