Comment:
Although the course was rather difficult in terms of grading and test material, the lectures were vibrant and lovely. Her beautiful crystal clear and lovely accented voice gave the Classics subject the greatest sound and her passion for the material was contagious. I just found the professor's tests too difficult to pass. She will be missed RIP CLF

She expected quite a bit of detail on exams though she seemed to "gloss" over topics in lecture, as did the textbook, at times. I had really loved CLST101, and did quite well, but this class was incredibly dry, and my marks dropped a good 10% from the previous year.

Great prof! Such a passion for her subject, and so knowledgeable. It's true, if you don't attend class and take diligent notes, her exams are tough. But if you do, you'll be rewarded! Definitely not unreasonable, if you're not afraid to put a bit of work in. Definitely spurred my interest in Classics. Don't be afraid to take her courses! (April'12)

Totally agree with the comment below. Don't even take a correspondence course with her. Just ruins your mark and picks at unnecessary issues. Probably ruined my interest in Classics

Reminds me of Mary Poppins. Great lecturer. Goes off on tangents sometimes. Midterm was completely unreasonable but the final was a complete giveaway. Went from almost failing to an 80.

My marks did not reflect my work in the class at all. By the end of the term I hated that class.

She seemed to enjoy how students squirmed at her ridiculously difficult tests, and managed to make one of my favourite subjects so dry that I stopped attending class.

I enjoyed her teaching style, she moved quickly through the material but it kept it interesting. She is a very engaging instructor, very knowledgeable and passionate about her subject. Excellent class! multiple choice on midterm were a bit tricky

Comment:
I loved classics before I had this professor. I usually never miss class, but I always found an excuse not to attend hers. One of the reasons why I left the department. She made Greek history boring and for the most part her tests were more about stumping the student than to see if they had any knowledge about course material.

Awful, awful advisor. Has ended careers, and damaged the discipline. Department head now. Maybe this will keep her away from graduate students. STUDENT BEWARE!

A solid lecturer, but be prepared to memorize if you want to do well. If you do though, her courses are easy.

I took this course because I thought it would be interesting yet easy but ended up I hating it. She has this bell-like British accent and refuses to speak any louder than a whisper and I usually sat in the back. Fill in the blank tests are ridiculous.

Horrible graduate advisor. Many past students say that in hindsight they should have changed disciplines.

Interesting lectures and seems very enthused about the material. Approachable for help. Sometimes likes to ask for more random facts on tests, though.
