Comment:
seems like a great prof! however all the content that's in the lectures, you'll learn a second time during your rta 104 labs. meaning it was generally useless to go to the lecture. Lori is super sweet though, nothing against her, but the lectures are pointless.

She is one of the best professors that I have ever had. Super passionate about what she teachers and it shows through her teaching ability. She gives great feedback and really makes sure you understand before moving on. She's also very funny and makes it a great learning environment that you want to be in. She's also real easy on the eyes so nice

Lori is ma girl. I had her last year for my first time for radio production. I always heard she was a great prof, and she definitely was! She was intriguing to listen to, funny, and there if you need extra assistance. I'm looking forward to taking her courses again this semester! You won't be disappointed.

Amazing prof! Great lectures with lots of examples and practical information. Great lab instructor with clear instructions and very helpful. She's really nice and has lots of experience in the industry. She encourages and inspires her students! Assignments were lots of fun and a good mix of independent and group work. Fair marker.

Lori is a very engaging prof that gives fun presentations. While her lectures are superfluous at times, she's an awesome lady that loves her students. Highly recommend.

Teaches through examples which is the best way to learn about electronic media. Very helpful and always willing to listen and provide advice. Usually brings in interesting industry professionals as guest speakers!

Made for very interesting lectures. Provided tons of relevant and interesting examples. However, I can see how some people might get the impression that she's not the nicest person. She does have a cute butt, though.

Dedicated to the course material to a fault. Thinks that typography is the most important thing that anyone will learn about in post secondary education. Marks reasonably but holds grudges if anyone doesn't agree with everything she does. Labs - a lot of time spent watching her fool around on her computer at the front of the class.

A good teacher, she knows what she is doing. But I had to lower her "easiness" & "clarity" level because of a test she gave us which was ridiculously specific. Either she and/or her TAs didn't do their job right with a 44% test class average.

I have mixed feelings about Lori. She's a great prof, clear, prepared and engaging during lecture...but something about her personality it seems overtly fake. Regardless, her classes are easy as long as you do the work. She is fair and returns grades ASAP.

Amazing, simply amazing. One of my favorite teachers at Ryerson. Her lectures are AWESOME; she makes you actually excited to go to class. Didn't have a lab with her so I don’t know that side of things, but as a lecturer this woman can be my future wife. And no, not only because she is hot! :D If you have her, you are so lucky! HAVE FUN! oh if you p

Excellent lecturer - very informing and entertaining. I didn't have her as a lab instructor, so I don't know her too well, and cannot comment on how she marks or how she deals one-on-one.

She has the ability to make people feel very small and worthless without realizing it (hopefully). But if you stick up to her and actually get to know her, she can quite nice and fun to talk to. And you can learn a lot in her classes as long as her TA doesn't have an attitude as well.

Good looks are not a guarantee for didactic excellence. Unfortunately, Lori does not seem too concerned about issues that do not concern her...even if they are important...too bad!
