needs to learn how to write a test, worst prof ever.
Easy tests. Marks on assignments do not reflect quality of paper, so what's the point in doing them? However, easy A.
Wanna ace this course? Memorize every bold term, and do study guide tests. It's all her midterms and final are based on.
She told me once that women were smarter than men, and I had to accept it. She cited studies with IQ tests, which are notoriously unreliable. She was ridiculously boring, unknowledgeable, but an easy class. Condecsending, as well.
extremely easy A but she sucks as a prof
Gets terms mixed up and pretty much concentrates on feminine and racial issues then actual issues in the text, it gets tedious at time. Her assignments are not well marked. She gives easy marks to slackers and hard marker on those trying to do well on her assignments. Overall slackers will enjoy
If you have read the other reviews they have pretty much hot it on the head. Easy A, boring classes, focuses on her hobby topics and picks faviorites from the ethnic people in the class. Not good at all if you actually want to take sociology for a magor/minor
I don't understand what she teaches us. The lectures are all over the place and the exams have nothing that she has talked about in class.
She belittles students in class, has no manners when it comes to addressing students!
got her as a replacement, what a terrible prof. Her tests are full of mistakes and her lectures leave a lot to be desired. She seems constantly confused, only talks about her opinion and then tests arbitrarily out of the text, she doesn't respond to student concerns. No control in the classroom. Very disappointed.
Alright, people are super mean to her in class everyone gives her attitude so why shoud she care on how she teaches...also going to class is a waste of time.... she does not teach us anything or learn anything..we teach ourselves, she asks questions but NEVER gives answers!
Hard to understand, Unlcear when giving assignment directions... changes exam outline at last minute without notifying entire class.. only half the class recieved one portion of a handout while the other got the other portion because she "ran out of paper".
I got A's in all of my other class and did very poorly in her class. Got her as a replacement because our other prof. became ill. What a drag she is a horrible prof. I would not recommend her to anyone. If you get her as a prof. RUN and RUN fast. She treats the students like they are stupid and doesn't lecture on anything that will be on the exam!
worst prof. ive ever had. she gives assignments a few days before a final. shes stupid all around. she is uncapable of helping other and never e-mails back. she has the morst tests in the world they have nothing to do with her lectures!! if you get her pick up your**** and run for your life!!!
She treats you like you are an idiot. When you ask a question she will zone out then answer no, or she will stare at you incredulously and ask if you were paying attention at all. If you want to know about the term paper or the exams her only answer is to check the syllabus, which contains no pertinent info. She always arrives late, up to 30 mins
If you are interested in this course then you might survive it with her. She's border line stupid and arrives for class 20 - 30 minutes late, and doesn't care about her students, Would not recommend her at all..
Mutters under her breath and thinks I am stupid. Followed me around campus whistling the beetles, very strange.
I honestly have nothing good to say about this prof. Her "essay" assignments carefully itemize your paragraphs in point form (HELL if you're a free thinker) and her heavily-multiple choice exams are 80% commonsense, 10% class material and 10% cryptic or ambiguous questions. And sadly, everything else people are saying about her is true. AVOID HER.
This is a textbook class with this prof...you really dont have to show up..if you read the chapters you will due well!!! Keep on top of the reading and maybe attend a few classes near the tests she did give us who showed up for the last class a hint for the final :)
useless
worst prof ever.. always take the perspective of racism or feminism on everything or expect a low grade.. dont go to class because she is always late(usauly for 30 - 45 mins)and actualy has no idea what she is talking about..any questions will be answered by caling you an idiot and telling you to read your book.. if you get this prof drop the class
Terrible prof. Very often late, doesn't really know whats going on, and issues terrible tests that are all multiple choice with little to do with discussions in class. Just read the text. She makes you feel you have the IQ of a napkin if you ask a question, and doesn't answer anyways. Worst "lectures"(if thats what you'd call them) ever.
This class was by far the easiest class I have ever taken. Everyone needs to calm down this lady isn't that bad. Just read your text book and you will do fine and the paper was super easy too.
She arrived late to our final exam, forgot the multiple choice portion, and still expected us to do the whole thing. Her tests are HARD and she assumes that her students answer questions at mach 3. However, she marks her essays easy as long as you answer all her questions.
Absolutely awful. Late, constantly. Incredibly rude. Borderline Stupid. Run Away if you can, if not don't go to class. If you go don't participate, if she knows your name your done for. It is actually disgusting that she's allowed to be a "professor". GMac should be ashamed for ever hiring her.
This class is awful, she talks and talks each class - nothing of it ends up on the exam. So after doing horribly the first midterm after studying her notes, i studied the textbook for the next midterm and did even worse. She is not conclusive to a good mark at all.
Worst professor I've had this semester. The final exam is worth 40% yet when pressed for additional information about the structure of the exam (number of questions/long answer format ect.) she refused to give any answer other than "It's on your syllabus!". There are two lines about the final exam on the syllabus.
Here's the secret, you get what you put into this class! Attend regularly, participate in discussions and do the readings and not only will you get a good mark, but you'll find she's a much better instructor. Could have used more information about the final (got the check your syllabus reply when I emailed her) but that's my only complaint.
Don't bother attending class. The exams are 100% from the textbook, so your time would be better spent reading the text and making your own notes. I attended two classes before resigning myself to the fact that she is a useless prof. She doesn't understand Canadian accents, and so will completely misinterpret and/or ignore any questions asked. RUDE
I get more frusterated every time I attend this class. It is useless. She teaches from a powerpoint that is straight from the textbook (it even references the pg. #s). But she gets so off topic you have no idea what is happening. She blabs and blabs for 1.5 hrs. Anyone could teach her course, as long as they can work a powerpoint and read.
RUN She is the rudest teacher I have ever had i will refuse to take another class with her If you have a choice run if you pick her be prepared to be offened. Started with 60 and had about ten were showing by the end of oct if u have to take it i would say dont go easy to read it on ur own all the ?s are out of her notes she gives u at the start
She is one of the worst prof's i've ever had. She thinks women are always right, so make sure to take a feminist approach to all essay's. She is hard to get to know, and can come off rude. Make sure to read the text book, and know all definitions.
Absolutely the worst prof i have had ever.! She talks down to you and makes you feel absolutely retarded. If anyone has a chance to get out of her class DOO IT.! She is absolutely useless and even if you go talk to her one on one she belittles you. RUN
She is an insult to Grant Macewan.Heed the warnings!The 1st midterm had little to do with relevant course material.2nd midterm and class notes full of grammatical errors.Takes up too much class time with useless elementary style activities without providing real instruction. I learned more about social psychology from 1 chapter in a different class
She is very direct.. may come across rude to people not used to it. Very Feminist in her views and markings. Does cover alot of material and tests arnt too easy. I had good discussions with her after class about subjects and she was willing to help. She responds to kindness with kindness.. if your rude in ANY way.. look out your screwed
I am currently in Dr. Yesufu's intro to Soci class, & I am at a loss to understand where some of the comments are coming from. I find her extremely interactive & she actively engages the class with every lecture. She is knowledgeable & open for discussions after class. I also find her quite funny, and full of funny pop culture references. :)
Beware of this prof. She is disorganized and doesn't allow for opinions other than hers. Once she found out I was married I was continually singled out and asked if I was in a marriage that held to her point of view. Teaches only from the textbook. Some simply read the text in class and did better than listening to her lecture.
This teacher is absolutely horrible. She is very rude to her students. The day we got our midterms back she called out the first and last name AND THEN THE MARK!!! About half way through people were saying "can you please stop reading the marks?" and "why are you reading the marks out loud?" She continued to read out all the marks anyways. ILLEGAL
THIS TEACHER IS EXTREMELY RUDE TO HER STUDENTS, READS MIDTERM MARKS OUT LOUD W/ STUDENT NAMES, IS LATE FOR CLASS OFTEN, AND JUST IS ALL AROUND A HORRIBLE TEACHER. RUN IF YOU GET HER, DROP THE CLASS!!
You learn more from the textbook then from her class. Point of proof: First midterm I studied all of her notes and my resulting score was a 70. Next exam I just read the textbook; 85. In one class she split the class up between religous persons and non-religious persons, then preceded to belittle and critize those who didnt have a religion.
A little hard to understand at first but most classes were enjoyable. She promotes class participation. Essays were mandatory on every test but we were given topics prior to exams. She never read marks out loud as someone had mentioned before. She marked quite easy in my opinion. I would recommend her for this introductory course.
I have never encountered a professor that was more rude or less helpful. I doubt you read these Dr. Yesefu, but If all of your students are finding something unclear, it would be a good idea to answer their questions in class to to clarify your unclear instructions. The problem is not them it's you!
Very simple assessment of this "professor:" she is a f#%$ing joke. Would probably be easy to get a good mark in this class, but she makes you hate the class so much that it is quite frustrating. This is by far my easiest class, but my worst mark... She more qualified to be a janitor.
This instructor is nearly impossible to understand, and she hammers on a simplistic point for hours - literally. Yes, I know what the word means. Despite being late, she insists upon giving marks for attendance. Unless you want to bang your head off a desk every class, avoid this instructor.
I got a 100% in this class, and I never even attended. Her midterms are easy: straight from the textbook and her notes (posted online.) Essays are interesting because some classmates got 60s when I got 100s. Just be direct and concise, and include feminism as that's a huge aspect of sociology. Tests usually include 3-4 major essays, so be prepared.
Found at times she was very degrading and made you feel unintelligent when needing to ask a question.
Very rude to students and calls them stupid if you have to ask a question, makes you feel unintelligent and stupid. Incredible hard to understand when she's talking. Posts notes on Blackboard before classes and does not take attendance so if you can teach yourself at home, do it. Avoid this class at all costs.
She teaches you very little so it's a good thing the class material is easy. She sits on one slide all class and beats one example to death over and over. Assigns long papers a week before they're due and makes them due the same day as the midterm. Also takes a while to mark essays and gives marks at random. lovely lady but DO NOT take her class.
She's a terrible teacher. She is extremely rude to students and thinks she is a Sociology God. If you ask questions, she will get mad & go off on a tangent about how dumb you are. The class consisted of a 8-pg research paper that was basically just completion marks, 2 midterms and a non-cumulative final. Just read the textbook and you'll pass
If you are looking for a GPA booster, this class was exactly that for me. If you have a question ask her personally. As long as you're not rude to her, she won't be to you. Clear respect for women. I thought that my class enjoyed the Science vs Religion debate. Get the textbook and rely on that for exam. Use basic cause & effect thesis for paper.
Great prof. Very passionate about sociology. Also she is knowledgeable in the subject matter and open to questions. She has tons of real world experience to relate to the class material as well. Attending class is mandatory imo (if you want to do well) as some of the questions relate to the in class group discussions // debate.
Good gpa booster, read the text and you'll do fine. Her lectures are boring but she knows what she's talking about.
I previously took this class with Adenike in the spring term. I feel that she taught the class very well. It was not difficult to pass and get a good mark! All you have to do is show up to class, take notes, and do the readings. There was one paper which came with a clear guidline. The midterm and final were also pretty straightforward.
She is an awful and very rude professor. The slides she reads off of are word for word from the textbook. If you read the textbook instead, you will pass with flying colours; that's what I did. She has test questions on examples FROM THE TEXTBOOK that are not covered in class, so read the tb and you'll be fine. EASY gpa booster for sure.
Had her for soc 100 and was a brutal class, half of our students would leave before the end of class. Super boring and her exams were based off of common sense.
Awful midterm questions. Easy marker for research assignment. Bland class discussions
Midterm questions based on in class discussions. Basically just read the book. Didn't have a friendly demeanor and calls you out if you aren't paying attention. Has lots of funny stories to tell though
She showed up late to class at least once a week. Rude to people when they ask questions. A lot of midterm questions taken directly from the textbook and not discussed in class. She marks crazy easy for the research essay though, it's basically a completion mark.
Worst professor at MacEwan ever. Rude to students, and she either doesn't show up half the time for class or office hours or strolls in 10 minutes late and rushes through 16 slides in 20 minutes. Not really sure how or why she's still a professor...
This is worst prof I have ever encountered. She was late to nearly every class, does not use blackboard at all. Her slides are exactly what the text book says. Her lectures are very bias in favour of her Christian and Traditional beliefs. She no-showed my final and the term paper was a joke because everyone got 100-110%. Shes peaked.
I think shes a great teacher. Although there are many bad reviews on her she was a great teacher for myself.
Sociology was interesting and a pretty easy class honestly with her. Her accent is hard to understand at first but you get used to it and she is quite nice. All the slideshows she goes through are posted online and the textbook is absolutely necessary and you really do have to read it entirely to do well on the tests. Good class overall.
The class consisted of 2 midterms (mc and small essay), a paper, and a final. She marks super easy on the essays and most of the multiple choice is directly from the textbook.
Absolute worst prof I have ever had. Does not care about you as a student, she never cares to help. She replies to emails- but not with answers. Every time I'd email her a question, she would tell me there's enough information said about this. Try to avoid her if you care about your mark and your well-being honestly. Stubborn and hard to deal with.
Absolutely awful. Taken as a condensed summer class as a fourth year. asynchronous. Conflicting grading criteria, the expectation is to read the entire textbook as well as take quizzes on one specific day with zero flexibility. comprehensive final with a nonexistent study guide or midterm to go off of. course content disappears after due date.
I found her "teaching" abysmal. It was very clear that she wasn't wanting to be teaching a summer class and lacked motivation. Her feedback was minimal and non-helpful. She appears only to use other professors' material, none of her own. Not enough room to fully describe her ineptness. She didn't even fill out her introduction.
In emails she incorrectly spells your name when replying, not understanding at all and did not engage once with her students this whole term.
weekly quizzes never reflected the lecture content, just the textbook. Discussions were fine but everytime she comments feedback she uses CAPS LOCK AND IT SOUNDS LIKE SHE IS YELLING AT YOU. Its not a completion mark as some might say, she definitely reads them and if you miss something important, you'll get a 80 instead of 100 even if well written
Quizzes are not clear and are set on one date only, with no flexibility for an online course. The modules are disorganized and messy, not following any particular pattern. They have clearly been reused and are riddled with spelling/grammar errors. Does not interact with you.
I'm currently taking it asynchronous, and it is so much work. This class should be easy, but she makes the workload very heavy. The modules she puts up online are useless since all the quizzes are solely from the textbook. There is no use to read through the modules if it doesn't even help prepare for the quizzes. Just read the whole textbook.
the professor demonstrated rude demeanour in emails, upon bringing up class material issues I was met with extreme passive aggressive and snarky comments. They expected a particular standard of respectfullness but it was not reciprocated. Only address emails as DR not (Hi, hello, to whom it concerns,) or get your head cut off.
was quite rude when answering emails. her final had some outrageous questions to answer. would not take this prof again as my GPA suffered due to the fact she refused to give me the extra marks for the work I did on an assignment that said was for extra marks in the syllabus
TERRIBLE PROFF AGRESSIVE doesn't teach. final was a joke, tested on useless parts of textbook you would think to skip over. given short amount of time to write, too many questions. 1 quiz stated for you to read the Tb, notes etc b4 asking questions
All of the quizzes and final are text based. In order to pass the class you have to read the text. The online modules are not much help.
Worst professor I have ever taken. Does not consider ensuring the course grading requirements are concise, which caused alot of confusion when responding to the discussion. She is not formal in her own writing, and it seems like she doesn't even care about helping her students. Avoid at all costs or prepare to be upset!!!!!
Awful instructor. Conflicting information between online and course outline. Rude and abrasive when asked for clarification. Writing is terrible, poor spelling and incomprehendable for university level. Copy and pastes the course outline in response to questions instead of replying. Disgusted that this instructor is allowed to continue teaching!
She is extremely rude. Questions are not answered when emailed and she insults you if you don't understand. Terrible grammar, which makes the quizzes hard to understand. Copied and pasted information from the textbook and does not explain how assignments are supposed to be done, yet she will get mad at you if you don't do it the way she wants.
I would honestly avoid this prof at all costs. Prof gave horrendous feedback on discussion posts; the rubric/criteria for said posts are poorly explained and contradict what is being asked. Fair amount of reading since she does not provide any useful information or it is literally copied and pasted right from the textbook (not useful for any quiz)
Idk what's all the hate, She is pretty good. Gives decent feedback and the quizzes and final weren't hard at all. I took the class online and did well. Don't get me wrong at first, I was scared because of her reviews but people change. Give them another chance
I took the class online asynchronous; she was able to design the course where all the content was readily available and had clear instructions for completion.
I believe you get out of a class what you put into it, however, that is not the case here. Avoid this professor at all costs. Teaching in non existent, the syllabus and course has conflicting information, quizzes are poorly worded and the feedback on discussion posts is poorly written (shouty caps, poor sentence structure). DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.
HORRIBLE. She responds to emails in the rudest way. She grades the discussion unbelievably tough. Quizez and finals are from the textbook, but I always ran out of time and was never allowed to view the quizzes. I didn't learn anything, there were no lectures and no help at all. The only thing nice about the class is that it's open book and online.
I'm not sure how she's still able to work at MacEwan, given the horrid reviews. Her feedback on discussion posts was extremely rude.She gave me an 8/10 and said I didn't talk about the topic when I did. I dislike her attitude. The modules are messy. Just memorize the textbook because she doesn't teach anything. Thankfully, this course was online.
Rude. Feedback on discussions was borderline mean. She trashed my use of paragraphs while simultaneously making about ten thousand grammatical mistakes.
