This is not a good professor. Too many awful things to even list, avoid at all costs. You will regret ignoring all these bad reviews.

Cool concept for a course and an enthusiastic lecturer, but also an incredibly stressful prof to have. You'll be swamped with readings and work that she offers little help or advice on, and expects you to understand how to write a scientific paper despite this being an arts course.

cool concept for a class but she really ruins it. She rambles on about useless crap for 5 minutes a slide, reads some common sense thing on the slides, pauses and smiles like she said something profound and keeps going like that for two hours. Not looking forward to the papers, already know she is going to be vague and unhelpful. oof.

should be a bird course but somehow it isn't. The lectures are overly complicated- prof never got through all of them in class. The weekly assignments were really cumbersome and achieving a high grade required a lot of work. The mindtap quizzes were absolutely pointless. On top of that, the final exam is a mystery-- no one knows what to expect.

AVOID HER CLASS AT ALL COST Had 2 buy $149 book to gain access to 25% of the mark as quizzes Assignments won't help you learn any concept one bit Unclear on marking standards (Asked for 5 sentences & 3 supporting articles, but only gives this 2/5, but her sample answer has 15 sentences and 5 supporting article) Not enough space but way more issues

Avoid this professor at all costs. Treats her class of university students as if they are in primary school. Made everyone buy Nelson's online learning package even though the school's learning portal would've been more than sufficient. Course content is good; she is not.

Refuses to be clear about what is expected, lectures are all over the place, and makes snarky comments. Also I got a lower final mark in the class than expected, and when asked about what my grades on the last assignments were, she completely ignored me. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Oh yeah, 90% of the class dropped and only 8 kids were left...

Did not explain grades and yelled when questions were asked. Unclear, disorganized notes and lectures, and very dishonest. She is friendly in 1st and 2nd year undergrad courses (took a 2nd year course too) but for grad courses and scientific research her bad habits and actions are dangerous and students will suffer badly. Should not be a prof.

Very friendly. If you enjoy environment related studies, i would say she is GOOD. Her organisation skills must have improved, but are still a tad bit poor.

Comment:

Worked the hardest in this course this semester (I have a 3.75 GPA) and I'm getting a C+. Enthusiastic speaker, motivational, but lacks any clarity or consistency with marking (several TA's mark your papers, and yours will likely be unhelpful). All.group.Work. Do not take this course, it is not easy nor does it give you any skills
