Lianne is by far the kindest and most caring prof I have had at my time at UVic, especially given the pandemic and online classes, she is so understanding and compassionate. I found the material in her class very interesting, engaging and easy to follow especially given that I have no background studying film! 10/10 take a class with her!

Lianne is lovely. She genuinely cares for all students and is very welcoming to all ideas with films and papers. Even with the annoyance of Zoom, she made class worth your time.

Easily one of the best professors at UVic. She is so caring and understanding, she will give extensions without needed a solid reason. With classes online I have found teachers are less understanding and personable but Lianne is the polar opposite, I wish she would teach all of my classes.

McLarty is, hands down, the most wonderful prof I've had at UVic. She is passionate about the subject matter and an engaging lecturer who is more than willing to interact and inspire her students. I learned more in her one class than I have in two years of my minor in film. Attend class, watch the films, and ask questions, you won't regret it!

Dr. McLarty is a fantastic professor. Her lectures are clearly worded, she makes time for student comments and questions, and gives very specific feedback. She's very down to earth, funny and knowledgeable/passionate about the subject matter. She also allows for generous extensions on assignments. One of my favourite classes & profs at UVic!

Comment:

Hollywood Genres was a fun course to take with Lianne. Great selection of movies (e.g. Full Metal Jacket, Bridesmaids), although her lecture style can be confusing at times. The course involves 2 essays, attendance (easy 10% if you show up), and an optional midterm.

Easily one of my favorite professors at UVic. She's a little bit confusing when she talks about course material, but is very thorough. I'd take whatever class she ends up teaching next semester--she really cares about her students.

Lectures go on forever, repeating her points 5x before moving on. Ends midsentence to jump to another tangent, never to return to the original topic. Just when you think she's done, she'll keep going. In my horror cinema, we managed to have enough time for around 20m of actual movie time, in a MOVIE class

Lianne is one of the best professors at UVic. She is compassionate and treats students very fairly. She gives lots of flexibility in terms of assignments, quizzes and essays, putting the responsibility in your court. I will definitely take more courses with her in the future!

I took her classes for 2 times and I am a big fan of thrillers. She is very kind, helpful and would like to answer your questions. She tells students to watch their eyes when she turns on the lights after watching films every time, and I was touched by this detail since no one of my other teachers does this.

I like watching movies and I chose this course. I like her analysis about the movies, and she is really fair on marking papers and the deadlines. Though sometimes she repeated her words several times, it's not a big problem.

Reads off of notes, repeats the sentence 3-5 times saying the exact same thing. Constantly says what's my point and forgets what she's talking about, and never remembers again. Marking is hard comparative to what she teaches you.

What a lovely woman! She is super personable and always ready to answer any questions you have in her office hours or through e-mail. I like writing notes, so I appreciate when she went over the main points again so I could get them down. You can tell she really loves film! I just wish we would have gotten to everything in the syllabus...

She was very interesting, open minded and fair with her marking. As for the repeating, I would rather a teacher repeat interesting information in a nice manner then one that could care less what my name is or what I thought. She was by far one of the best teachers I have had at uvic.

Comment:

I love film but this class was hard to handle. The topic could have been made more interesting if only she made it more engaging. You know you're in an intro class when the prof feels the need to repeat herself 6 or 7 times on each point she makes. And another way to say that would be...
