Comment:
My first year class with Moira was difficult and I was not a huge fan of her teaching. This years course with her was much different. I reached out to her for help and asked many questions. I can tell she prioritizes students that put effort into her class. She is a very caring and nice person, just make sure to introduce yourself at the beginning.

Listen I love Moira and I've taken many of her classes but.. I've found that she can be a bit of a bully and she will point out if you say something stupid. As her classes got harder I found that she would take off grades for things she never told us to do, or wouldn't understand why we wrote something when its exactly what she said to do.

Online learning's been hit-or-miss so far but I really looked forward to Moira's class every week! She is very kind & not a harsh grader as long as you actually read the textbook & watch lectures. She disclosed that online teaching was new to her but put so much care into building the course & was very transparent with us, unlike many other profs

Moira is one of the best professors at STU. She is so sweet and honestly such an inspirational human being (all around awesome). If you take any of the classes within the forensic minor, you will definetely be working for your grade as most things are lab based (takes time). Helps you really take in and understand/apply your knowledge though! (:

She often says one thing then tells you the opposite. She grades as if we have all of her experience but we don't. Amazing professor overall.

McLaughlin is a sweet prof but her lectures couldn't seem to keep my attention, especially at 8:30 AM three days a week. The only reason for giving her a low mark is because of dull lectures and unclear marking at times. Show up to class and put the work in and you'll be fine.

Moira is an amazing prof who really cares about her students. If you want to do well in the class then you need to properly prepare for tests and the in class assignments. If you don't show up, she will fail you. She is very passionate of what she preaches. Overall, great professor and a kind human.

Moira is an absolute sweetheart and I would take more courses with her if there were more for me to take! She is not someone you think you would get close to, but the more you talk to her the better of a human she is! Basically a 20/10 human

Moira McLaughlin is easily one of the best profs at stu! She is passionate about the material and it shows in how she teaches. The assignments are open book and are done in groups so it's a great way to boost your mark! She's very friendly and approachable, and is very respected in the field of physical anthropology. Plus, no final exam!!

Her assignments act well to help you learn the material in class and give you a good feel for the field. She can be a bit intimidating...I found when people asked questions in class she was annoyed. However, she is approachable after class and was willing to help me with a major assignment I struggled with. Very down to earth. DO NOT MISS CLASS.

Moira is the best professor I have had. She is tough grader on test and papers, but she gives many open book assignments to boost your grades. She is always more than willing to help, especially with essays and assignments. She speaks clearly and as long as you pay attention the lessons are easy to learn. You can tell she loves what she is teaching

I have taken almost all her classes, only one more to go. She is the epitome of a real professor and professional. She is approachable and genuinely cares about her students. She expects students to read the assignments, ask questions and complete projects. If you are looking for a role model, she is it!

VERY tough marker, and very inconsistent with her marking. kind of expects you to write the exact thing thats on her mind. however her open book assignments are easy and can help boost your grade a lot, she's incredibly smart lady who knows her stuff. You CANNOT skip her class, you won't pass.

Moira may be the hardest professor I've ever been taught from. Attendance is mandatory, and her tests hit you like a bus. With that being said, she's also the kindest, smartest person you'll ever meet. She really is extraordinary, and is a phenomenal professor. She really pulled me into anthropology, and if you're willing to learn, she's great.

Moira is very approachable. Funny without trying to be. I've taken 5 classes with her and she knows her stuff. Strict about no electronics and attendance. She sometimes does not realize that you don't know quite as much as her. As a prof, she gets her stuff done. As a person, one of the most insightful women you will ever meet.

Absolutely AWESOME professor. She will definitely get you prepared for actual forensic cases. It's a very difficult subject but as long as you put in the effort she'll be extremely helpful.

Comment:
A good professor overall (see the hundred or so other positive reviews.) However, she gives less leeway than she ought when grading written answers on tests and assignments. I noticed she let herself get distracted by late-arriving students, however quiet their entry, and seemed annoyed when someone would raise their hand to ask a question.

Class attendance is mandatory, with no mark toward attending, she is not helpful. Clearly evident she has favourites especially when marking. Very difficult marker, does not explain things well. I definitely do not recommend her for any class!
