Not only is the book a better teacher, it also has a better personality. Seriously though, the lectures are completely copy and paste off the textbook... and her accent is very hard to understand. If you ask her questions, she'll be defensive, and she doesn't even ANSWER your questions properly. Better choose a different prof!

Very hard to understand her. And the class in really boring. Her tests are hard because some her her questions are hard to comprehend. Her lessons are pretty close to the textbook.

Worst prof I've ever had! Her lectures are pointless-everything is fromt he text- she gets side tracked with useless examples. Is VERY rude to all the students. Does not answer any questions properly. Gets offended for no reason. Ppl have gone to the deam over her. DROP her class now!- not worth it.

Hard to understand and does not answer students' questions. Confuses herself and the class by mixing up different sociologists midlecutre.

really BAD teacher! Doesn't answer your question and is really rude when you ask her for help. Really hard to understand her with her accent and never stays on topic and she skips info on her slides. You have to teach yourself.

She is quite possibly the worst professor in the world! Ok at first you think she's french, WRONG! If she's not french then what the hell is she. Honestly like someone pointed out, the textbook is better then her. Her comments are really stupid and obvious, and her definitions are from the book. AVOID THIS PROFESSOR AT ALL COSTS! SERIOUSLY!!

Every class I spend most of my time wondering how she got the job.

forget very hard to understand, more like impossible, worst teacher ever. havent learned a thing.

Worst professor I have this term. You can't understand a word that she says. I find myself trying more to understand her accent then the information being presented. I feel like I'm back in highschool in that class. She calls people out when they leave class just to go to the washroom, which stops the lecture. Avoid her if you can!!!

This teacher should not be teaching. I'm sure she would be more helpful with another job. She is very rude and is not helpful when it comes to questions or comments. In my class we did well on the exam and she was literally upset for us doing so well. It is also very hard to understand her. Stick with the textbook and you'll learn so much more.

worst professor I have ever had. Desiphering what she is saying is next to impossible. Going to the class seems to make the subjects make less sense, causing you to become even more frustrated with her uselessness. Avoid at ALL costs. How did she get the job??

Omg.worst prof ever avoid her!!!

Cant understand a word she says

Terribleteacher. Can'tunderstand a wordshe says. Makestopics moreconfusing thanthey should be. Spend moretime trying tounderstand the words that arecomming out ofher mouth than theactual lesson sheis trying to teach. you won't learn a thing inher class. sheyells at youif youhave to leave early orgotothe washroom. shedoesn'teven knowwhatshe'ssaying!

HORRENDOUS. I am not one to complain about profs, but DO NOT take a class with her. 10% participation mark is complete BS. Make sure u show up to write ur "questions&comments" on each new chapt. b/c she will mark them for PARTICIPATION and CONTENT. very unclear and extremely boring. avoid if possible.

This prof seems oblivious to the fact that nobody understand half of what she says. While she is pleasant and tries to engage the class in her own way, she would do better to focus her efforts on clarifying her lectures.

Hard to understand and not very helpful

She is difficult to understand and you realize it's not because of her accent it's because she goes off on wild tangents when she isn't reading directly out of the textbook.

OH MY GOD, RUN!!! As a student with an 8.0 average (4th year) you would think that this would be an easy A+ class, but NO, I had to work my ass off for a B. She is NOT approachable, and thinks that an average of 60 is great! you need to do a 4pg paper in groups of 4, a critical review per chp. you read, the tests are NOT representative, shes boring

She is nice, but she doesn't know what she's doing! So many random stories!

Can't understand anything she says, handles questions poorly, doesn't seem to understand course material.

Her accent is almost completely incomprehensible, and her knowledge of the material is mediocre at best. She does seem to want to help the students to pass however, I cannot ascertain whether she has the skills necessary to pull it off. Overall I wouldn't suggest her.The tests are easy as long as you study though.

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. switch out nowwww!!!!

Again, VERY thick accent-hard to understand. But passed that VERY POOR PROF! Lost assignments, can't answer questions. Tests unfair! Very hard to listen to her lectures! DROP OUT NOW!!

drop out now! loses assignments, can't understand lectures, tests are not fair. worst class ever!!!

Lectures did not reflect what was on exams at all.

GET OUT NOW. Attending class is pointless and the slides tell you zilch. Turned me off of Sociology (my major) within the first month.

Learing with this lady is like trying to peer though a cup of muddy water, run for your life

Well for starters you cannot understand her. Secondly, the midterms and assignment created lots of confusion when she would say one thing and the TA marked differently. Third she would take random attendance. Fourth,if you are in a class called Men Women Society,focus on all three, not how men are the devil and women are opressed in every aspect

Thick heavy accent, difficult to understand unless you like to sit in the front row. Assignment are confusing and not clear, don't bother asking her for clarity go straight to your TA's! Read the text not course pack. studying the slides will not do you any good. And finally she takes random attendance. if u dont need it dont take it.

Run while you still can! She is very difficult to understand, her assignments are not clear. She doesn't understand the material she teaches. He lectures are based 100% on the material in the text/coursepack (she even sources the text in her exam questions), she messed up exam questions but refused to change our marks. RUN!!

It is not her accent that is hard to understand, it is the actual lecturing which is hard to follow. It has very little structure. Trying to follow what she is saying and follow the slides at the same time is useless as they dont correspond usually

Useless professor. made the class write an asssignment in pairs because she didn't want to correct 200 papers...she has four TAs. Accent is too hard to concentrate on. Useless in emails. I had a death in the family and would not be able to work with someone, she told me to find one on virtual campus : |

- Accent is very hard to understand. Going to class is useless, all the slides are online anyways. Did not explain the project worth 35% very well, and made us do it in partners. Makes you buy two books totalling $130, but we never use them, and no questions from the book were on the midterm. Do not take any of her classes!

She has an accent an it is hard to understand her. Her instructions are VERY unclear, and she writes in the syllabus to use a sophisticated language when you email her, but she doesn't understand sophisticated english. She contradicts herself, and the feedback on the papers are IMPOSSIBLE to decipher as her handwriting is disgusting.

She gives participation marks by gatherine tiny papers with your name on them at the end of class. Problem was this wasn't noted in the syllabus and her classes always go past the actual time. I went to 80% of the classes and got 4/10 for participation. Her lectures are EXTREMELY hard to follow (I'm in fourth year, this is a second year class.)

Very disrespectful! Nothing to offer to studetns but feelings of distress and humiliation. She does not hesitate to belittle you in front of other students if you dare to question her methods of evaluation. Useless course!! Just repeats what the textbook is saying. BORING!!!

Worst prof I have ever had

Avoid her like the plague! Midterm class average was 49%! Her TA marks completely different than what she asks you to answer. Her accent is hard to understand but not impossible, its the least of her problems. She gave me a 4/15 for participation, even though i handed all of the participation reviews in and participated in discussions. Terrible.

This professor is honestly one of the worst professors that I have had in 4.5 years of university. Her syllabus is a joke and basically a list of do not do's. Her assignments and expectations are unclear. She will also discuss your criticisms or questions at length in front of the entire class (although she does not identify you by name).

Incomprehensible prof. Unclear expectations on assignments, unclear marking.

Could not understand her and always bugged students for participation. Midterm marking was unclear with no comments. Lectures were not clear and some classes felt useless

Last year of university went off horribly with this prof. Worst prof I have ever had. Did ok in the course, but was left feeling dead inside.

The course was all over the place. The professor was not organized. She has a thick Ghanaian accent and uses old English sometimes. Very hard to understand. Comes off as a bully. She will ask students questions, and when they give a different answer contrary to her beliefs, she will humiliate them in class. Run!!! Do not take this class with her.

This class made for a terrible last semester. She is rude, obnoxious and talks about irrelevant material. Does not address students comments and blows up when challenged on the material she chooses to present. Only presents one side of an argument and over-generalizes. Did not use the textbook and did not count actual class participation for marks.

Well all I have to say is that I took this class as my first elective ever in 4 years of university and regret it. It sounded like a good class until I met the prof. She is very inconsiderate, calls people out in front of the class for talking when she's always 10 min late. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Don't even understand how she became a prof.

All you need to know about her abilities as a prof is what myself and a friend wrote on the teacher evaluations. Question:'How could this class be improved?' My answer: 'I don't have enough time to list all the issues.' My friends: 'The first step to improvement is replacing the prof.' So yeah, I'd say your best off with a different prof.

This prof is the worst I have ever had. The course itself is easy but she is just so confusing. Goes off topic a lot and make you wonder what she is talking about. 1st mid term everyone did bad only a very few passed. Do not take her class!

If you have the professor DROP THE CLASS. She is completely unapproachable, unwilling to compromise, and takes personal offence during class discussion. Yes, she does have an accent, but you can understand her, however, I still believe she should post the slides as she is unwilling to repeat herself. Overall, awful, do not take this class.

THIS PROF IS SO BAD. Dont take this class and save yourself a massive headache

Please avoid this professor like the plague. She continually laughs at her student's expense when they propose an opposing view, and even said today in class that she had no interest in debate. She generalizes on all topics covered and this course has turned me off taking any FEM courses in the future. AVOID HER LIKE THE PLAGUE

VERY vague with requirements for all assignments, asks you to write about "feminist theoretical arguments on globalization" but never tells you what they are and they aren't definitively listed online anywhere. everyone is afraid to speak in class because she mocks what they say. cant understand her accent - not her fault but still problematic

Absolutely the worst class I have ever taken. She is a nice person but very difficult and frustrating to communicate with. My group received a 76% on the essay assignment, which was ok for us. Her tests (midterm and final) were so difficult to do well on. Gives no direction as to what to expect. The course pack is essential to passing. READ IT.

She lost my final exam paper!!!!!!! the most awful prof ever. Basically you can not learn nothing in her class.

Disrespectful, unclear, unhelpful, worst teacher I have ever had. She is rude to the students and has a very tough accent. She is VERY rude about this and provides NO help for students who do not understand what she is saying. You basically have to teach yourself.

The worst professor I've had so far at uOttawa. Accent aside, her lectures are all over the place and her line of thought is extremely difficult to follow. She refuses to post notes online even under exceptional circumstances, and was very rude about this. She gives no indication as to what will be on the exam and asks extremely specific questions.

Worst prof I've had in my 3 years at uOttawa. Asks questions about material before we've even covered it and then freaks out that we're wasting her time when nobody knows the answers. Comes across super rude over email. TA was super rude as well. Reads common sense things off the slides but midterm doesn't reflect her teaching at all. AVOID.

Unorganized and at times rude; not clear in her lectures, expectations, or grading criteria. Taught outdated material, examples given were anecdotal. Did not answer questions of clarification well, shut down and ignored opinions that differed from her own. Yet, an easy marker and posts all of her slides, attendance was 5% but otherwise unnecessary.

Went into the course with high expectations and was let down. Prof started our midterm 40 minutes late, almost didn't allow us to rewrite it, and was very rude the entire time. She only let the class rewrite when students threatened to go to the dean. EXTREMELY unclear and rude when asked for clarification. Sad bc this could've been a great course!

Professor lacks clarity in her lectures and expectations. She is not a fair marker, expects a lot from students on midterms and in papers even though she explains concepts very poorly. Would not recommend.

Dont understand her. Just read the textbook.

Ok so I am never one to be negative. this prof is absolutely terrible. I have never met a professor so unprepared and confusing. She told us to buy a 120$ textbook to which i read, highlighted and memorized. and then a WEEK before our midterm, she told us we bought the wrong version and to go get the new one... I AM DISAPOINTED.

the class is absolutely awful. more than half the class bought the wrong book because she told us to and the entire midterm was based off the book no one had. the lectures don't make sense you might as well just buy the PROPER book and teach yourself. we confronted her about the grades and she said too bad even though the midterm average was a D.

Horrible. Had us buy the wrong textbook and expected us to buy a new $100 book a week before the midterm. She is very unorganized, contradicts herself and the textbook on numerous occasions, and has VERY unclear expectations. Took this class for an easy elective, very disappointed. Would NOT recommend.

AWFUL - She always contradicts herself and is never available to students for questions. Most of the class purchased the wrong textbook because of her. Do not take her class if you want to learn and get a good mark.

This prof is one of the worst I've ever had. She's rude to students, doesn't answer questions and never mentions the tasks due. The course subject was interesting but the way she teaches it makes it very boring, not to mention her accent was hard to understand. The lectures overall were disorganized and repetitive, I wouldn't recommend her classes!

Horrible teacher, the worst accent on any teacher Ive ever had you cant understand anything she say. As wel her TA where lost one would tell you something and than another would say something different dont recommend her

She is easy to talk to and you can reach her outside of class but the lectures were very dry and I found I could have gotten more out of the class. Wouldn't take it if you don't have to!

She takes attendance/participation marks which is fine but lectures are extremely dull so it's hard not to want to skip. She is also very unclear when it comes to expectations, whether it's for an exam or a paper. I also found her grading to be a little on the hard side.

There are random in class individual or group "reflections" to do about the lecture to get participation marks (10%), a midterm (30%), research project (20%), and final (40%). Lecture notes / powerpoints are NOT posted online, so you have to go to class and take notes. Ended up dropping after 1 class.

Lectures are completely useless. Just read the assigned chapters in the textbook and study them for the exams. She takes sentences directly from the textbook so answers are easily recognizable when writing the exam. Her expectations for the assignment are not clear at all , so expect to score low on the assignment. exams are really easy.

Just horrible and unprofessional

It is not her accent. I wish it could be so simple.

Prof. Aggor's class was an elective for me. She is a really easy prof and tells you that you need the textbook, however, she covers everything on exams in her Ppt. She just reads off the Ppt. all class so showing up is only necessary for attendance. She takes attendance every class that accounts for 10% of your final grade. really easy GPA boost.

Just don't take it, it is not good for your mental health, ignore student question and when you ask for an exam outline, she said: you are not studying for a mark, she won't give you any help, can not control her class time.

Do not take it unless you really have to. Hard marker, and won't answer emails. Even when I complained she refused to help me. Zoom lecture go over the hour and 15 minutes. Lectures are unorganized. Mentally exhausting class. Just do yourself a favor and never take a course with this prof :)

She does not have an exact rating scale and she did not grade you even you did homework on time!

I would definitely NOT recommend taking her class while school is online. She made 17 slides last a 3 hours. Also told me she would reassess my mark and never got back to me. Honestly she's nice, but she's not good at making the course content engaging and she's disorganized. Readings are not actually required.

The material was okay and I wasn't overly enthused in this average class. There were 3 hour lectures weekly, and the exams were automated multiple choice with rudimentary questions. Her teaching was iffy and it took her two months to give my class back a short research report that she was capable of grading, but was just lazy to do it.

No offence but I couldn't even understand what she was saying. Her lectures and the way she talks is very disorganized. she doesn't give clear instructions AT ALL!! she just expects us to know everything ourselves and then gets angry when we email her. she is not understanding of students at all and she doesn't even let people speak in class.

I wrote the positive review a couple of reviews down and I now take it back. Definitely avoid this professor unless you don't have a choice. Avoid emailing her, she is nice in class but has been very rude not only to myself but to my classmates via email, if she even replies. Unreasonably harsh grading out of nowhere. Everyone had issues.

rarely respond to emails, and when she does her answers don't make sense. Lectures are unorganized and confusing. slideshows are filled with spelling and grammatical errors that make them nearly impossible to understand. relatively fair grader, but assignment criteria is confusing

What a fascinating class but unfortunately taught by the wrong person. The prof is not clear in her grading. Very tough and at times stubborn beyond reason. She seems to be on defence mode even when the students' questions and concerns are appropriate. Would suggest taking this class but with a different professor.

I took this course in the summer of 2022, and she only uploaded PowerPoint, nothing else, no live or recorded lectures. I can't imagine spending over 4000 Canadian dollars for this kind of education. She'll tell you to reread the textbook if you don't understand anything! This course is a joke! She does not teach at all! Avoid at all costs!

If you want an easy credit to fill a spot in your time table this is great, other than that I learnt nothing. She reads paragraphs off power-points, has numerous errors in almost anything she writes in her notes, or questions she forms on exams. Her final online exam had missing words in the questions. She should not be a prof. Very rude too.

Don't go to the lectures.

I audited this class to see if the poor reviews were accurate. She repeats paragraphs from her slides, and is very rude when speaking to students. Seems like an easy course, but I would avoid this professor.

NO NO NO, NO! even if your life depends on it, NOOOO!!!!!!!!!

The class itself is really really easy. Exams are all online and MC, and papers are graded very easily. My criticism is mainly towards the proff as essentially all the learning comes from the textbook. You don't really learn a lot from her and she drags out 6-8 slides a lecture across an hour and 20 minutes. If you want the easy A go ahead.

lectures are boring, just repeating the slides and readings, confusing assignments

The lectures are so boring and dry, she talks around the same couple concepts for the entire hour and it's hard to grasp what we could be tested on based on the materials we've covered so far, and our midterm is next week

Hard to understand. Inaccessible after class. Won't take responsibility for messing up your mark. Held an online midterm and messed up everyone's grades and then lost our original marks and blamed it on the students. Dry lectures. No rubrics or grading criteria provided (even upon request). Avoid her if you want to maintain your GPA.

I though people were being dramatic in their ratings and I was wrong. 1. During lectures, the prof often made significant mistakes and had to be corrected by students. She says doesn't fact-check her information because it would take too much time (!!) 2. The textbook was entirely based on the USA 3. MANY typos and missing words in exams

Attendance isn't mandatory but lecture slides are not posted. Both the syllabus and lecture slides were filled with grammatical mistakes. Lectures are quite hard to follow, no headings, and large blocks of text that make little to no sense when you try copy them down. Very disorganized class, hard to grasp the content and prepare for assignments.

Broke SASS confidentiality, has no idea how Brightspace works, randomly assigned a project worth 10% that wasn't on the syllabus
