Awesome Teacher!! Thank you for saving my Butt and giving me the proverbial butt kicking when needed!!!
Such a great teacher. Love her! You can tell she really cares about her students doin well in class but in their home life to
Great!
Alisha is so hyper and fun. I would really recommend her, she's great.
I really enjoy her class. She is always funny and hyper so you will not sleep in this class. There is a lot of reading, however it is required in order to know the basis of this course.
Alisha has a lot of energy that she brings to class. There was never a dull moment. She encourages students to participate. Always welcomes questions and is not embarrassed to answer the hard ones.
I cannot even begin to explain how much I love Alisha! She has supported me so much and makes child development seem more fun then it really is. She's also funny And her classes always start and end on time.
Always gave awesome feedback and was available to help out at all times.
I was really not looking forward to taking this class, but Alisha has made it fun. It's clear she knows what she is talking about and always gives us good life examples for behaviour management. As a teacher, she makes me feel that EA's a valued in a classroom. I don't really like the breakout rooms much though.
I really like this class because of the stories and stuff Alisha shares. I'm upset because we used to do a bunch of activities at the beginning but girls in the class complained and they got their way, so now it's more boring for me.
She filled in teaching for my regular prof today and she was great. I hope i get to take a class with her for a hole term
An extremely enjoyable class. Alisha is such an upbeat and positive person and without a doubt, is one of the best Instructors Northern Lakes has to offer

Extremely knowledgeable with respect to course content and uses great examples to compliment the material. She is a top notch instructor. She is organized and very fair. While remaining very professional, Alisha's sense of humour is refreshing. I would choose her as an instructor for any course should the opportunity ever arise again in the future.
Alisha has been a thrill to have as an instructor. She is easygoing and very polite. She has been a pleasure to have as a teacher and I will surely miss her lectures which are always a blast and never dull or boring. One of the absolute best teachers I've ever had in my lifetime.

Alisha is a very good teacher, when you don't get something she takes her time to explain it better.
Alisha is a great teacher, well-suited to teaching at the college level, probably at any level. She is enthusiastic about her subjects and truly cares about each individual student. She makes even the drabbist topics more interesting. She has a great sense of humour and I would be ecstatic if I could take more courses with her; only one left;(
A real amazing instructor who takes the time necessary to aid all students in their work and understanding. I enjoy all my classes with Alisha and leave at the end of the day feeling like I know what I'm learning. Alisha has a teaching method that benefits me and she is clear and in depth. Couldn't get a better instructor.

Alisha is an excellent professor. She is interesting to listen to, knows the content, is funny, and very willing to work with students so they can do well in her class. I will be trying to take more of her classes.
I was nervous that I wouldn't understand the material or have difficulty retaining the information, however Alisha was able to explain the courses content in a way that made sense to me. If I needed clarification on something it was really easy to get a hold of her. She made sure that we were all very well prepared for our tests and quizzes.
Professor Alisha is down to earth and very relatable in her communication with her students. Her teaching style reflects her amazing personality and makes you feel at ease and wanting to learn more about the topics. I definitely would recommend taking Alisha's classes as she makes learning fun and has a real connection with her students!
She is a pleasure to be in class with and looked forward to her classes.
Alisha was very good at breaking down and simplifying difficult terminology and theories in the textbook and her class was very enjoyable and interesting. I would definitely recommend taking her classes!
funny and interesting. makes class easy to do
Good instructor
the best instructor around!
I really enjoy Alisha as a teacher. She is great at keeping us engaged even from home computers. She is like a great movie; I laughed, I cried, I applauded at the end.
Enjoyed the course.
Very chatty at times, and can sometimes go a little off topic, but in a good way because she covers all of the material, and answers all questions even when they drift off topic. All around pretty good professor.
I was not over interested in the Aboriginal studies but I showed up to class because of Alisha. She made learning about something I wasn't too interested in seem somewhat interesting. She always emailed me back promptly with my questions/concerns. She was kind and respectful to everyone in this class.
teacher is friendly, understanding and approachable. she adjust to her students needs.
Alisha's class is so much fun! She teaches the material in a way that is easy to understand. She is absolutely hilarious and is super respectful of all her students. Textbook readings aren't necessary, but are a good way to review things that you find difficult to understand in class.
She is a powerhouse full of energy and knowledge. She makes classes exciting and her level of engagement makes you want to pay attention and be involved in your learning process. Thanks to her honesty and nonjudgmental approach, she has encouraged me to be an active member in my own education inside and outside of the classroom!
Alisha David is an exceptional instructor, her course material is thorough. Easy to follow along with the book. The novel picked for summary reflections was phenomenal. I never missed a class.
Overall wonderful instructor, my second course with her and I would intentionally pick her classes in the future. Engaging lectures
class can get carried away with class chats and it can take away from in class learning time its a good and bad thing discussions can be great but they can get off topic and get long
excellent speaker.
Really good prof, good with communicating with students and good lectures.
She is a very caring and thoughtful person. Alicia is amazing to work with, her online classes radiate a welcoming environment. Shes very lenient and amazing when you need feedback or instruction on assignments.
keeps class interesting and enjoyable. your not bored and waiting for it to end.
Enjoyed your class :)
Alisha is kind, caring, completely understanding and SO funny!
I would like to have had more guest speakers and Indigenous presentations.
Her classes are always fun to be in. She does not only hit important materiel, but she adds personality to her delivery. ABST2500 is a very interesting class that makes you think a lot more about of how media plays a factor in everyday life for aboriginal people and non-aboriginals.
Everyone in Canada should take this class with Alisha. I love her because shes so funny but also because this was a class I didn't want to take because I was forced. I didn't really want to learn about a culture other then my own but she made it interesting and now I want to learn more. I know how important Aboriginal eduation to Canadians is now.
Alisha is an excellent instructor! I have had her for many courses and enjoyed every class I have taken with her. For this particular class, it was not one that I wanted to take, though it was mandatory, because I wasn't interested in the course content. Alisha made it very easy to understand and interesting! Thank you for all that you do Alisha!
Was a good class I learnt lots.
She is literally the best teacher i've ever had! she always keeps things interesting, and thats the best way to learn
I find Sociology classes hard but Alisha has a way of breaking the course material down so that it's not only understandable, she makes the content relatable too. Alisha adds her own personality and humour to the lectures to keep the class interesting and engaging. She's a great instructor!
I had Alisha last year and once I seen she was my proff again I was relieved. I knew I would for sure learn something and I knew my questions would be answered in a way I could understand. When discussing tough subjects like Religion or politics, she is polite and considerate about all aspects. You are lucky if you get to be taught by her!
Everything you could want in a Professor!
Alisha has a great demeanor and is easy to communicate with. She is considerate and cares about your education. She is thoughtful and helpful and responds in a timely manner. She is very helpful and explains things in a manner that is easy to understand. Plus, she is funny and positive.
If you have the chance to take a class with Alisha, do it. She's amazing.
great voice
I would like Alisha to teach all my classes, she is very chill. She is smart and makes her slides relevant and interesting. She encourages class discussion and respectfully says if she disagrees and why. My favourite thing about her is that she is very understanding and will give extensions without having a "good excuse" this relieves stress.
Alisha is an amazing instructor. Her slides are easy to read and understand, she answers all questions in a way that everyone will get it. I have failed Sociology before but Alisha has helped me in understanding concepts and such. I would 100% love to have her as an instructor again. Thank you Alisha!
Oh My Gosh, where to start. Alisha is an amazing instructor, she is open, respectful, has a wonderful personality. Being in her previous class, I do enjoy the banter she has with all her students.
Alisha is awesome. I love how she is very open minded to a variety of topics. Always good laughs with her. Alisha is understanding to talk with also about if your having a hard time understanding the topics in classes.
I find this class extremely difficult as I have never been political in any way . Alicia is an awesome instructor and really knows her material. She also very understanding and quick to respond to emails when it comes to responding to difficulties of students.
alisha is an outstanding instructor. there is nothing that i can think of that would make her any better. she provides us with an amazing, the work she gives us is so easy to engage in, the examples she gives us are clear and effective, she is always understanding and it is so helpful. i am 15/10 satisfied with being in alisha's class
Alisha has a positive attitude and works to engage her students which is sometimes challenging when you are online. I appreciate her experiences she shares and takes time to clarify and explain further on topics students may be unaware of. I have a second class with her and would recommend her to others.
awesome
Very energetic and knew her stuff!
I love Alicias style of teaching and energy! I wish she could teach all of my classes.
Great class
Alisha was always very enthusiastic, fun and interesting. There was no danger of falling asleep during her classes! I enjoyed these classes and learned a lot.
Alisha is amazing and by far my favorite professor. She can take the driest material and make it palatable! She is reasonable and works with you as a student. She gives fair grades and grades papers within a day or two. I am very appreciative of her and wish that I could take more classes with her. Her knowledge of the material is great.
Second course I've taken with this instructor and I have enjoyed her teaching style, enthuisiasm and encouragment in both.
I adore Alisha. She shows up, she extends any and every helping hand, she caters to her students, she is remarkably down to earth and kind, and she made class my favorite course all term. It was always a breath of fresh air!
Classes are straight to the point, its good for people who dont like a lot of content thats dragged out more than it needs to be.
Alisha is an amazing instructor! She is a breath of fresh air when it comes to lectures. She is funny and full of life. She grades fair and is always available for her students.
She is the kind of instructor who is open and fair, filled with knowledge, inspires her students, communicates properly, very passionate and confident to teach her materials, friendly in class, respectful, creative, and very professional. I am very grateful I had her as my teacher!
She is funny. She is always there to give assistance and tries her very best to help her student do their best Overall she a very amazing person
Alisha was such a bomb teacher. Always looked forward to class when she was teaching!
Amazing Professor, one of the best I have ever had. When I was attending the University of Alberta, she out ranks the professors I had at the U of A. She is very clear about assignments, her grading system, always replies to emails as quickly as she can, she give amazing and helpful feedback on submitted assignments. I would any class she teaches.
Alisha teaches concepts and theory in sociology in a way that bridges and gaps in understanding, makes the insane content very clear, relatable, and entertaining. Was my best instructor this term.
She is really good at making things that I read in sociology and feel like they dont apply to my life REALLY relatable and funny too. I also had her for AbSt last term. it was the most eye opening class ever. Theres so much racism now and I feel like everyone should have to take that class with her. Take AbSt instead of Soci if you have the choic
It has been a long time since I have been in school, so Alisha really took the time to make sure the material was easy to understand. Alisha is a great professor.
Alisha is very professional when it comes to teaching! She uses videos, detailed information and prepared us for our quizzes and assignments! I loved her as a teacher!!
Very high energy and engaged in the material. Found her enthusiasm keeping me focused and on topic.
Great instructor. Made the course.
Alisha is an amazing instructor! Super clear when giving explanations of heavy material. She made the class interesting and relevant! I would 110% take another class with her if given the opportunity!!
Absolutely amazing!!!! Makes learning fun, very engaging , high energy great sense of humor very knowledgeable hoping I have her for future courses. Have a great summer!!
This is the fourth course I've had with Alisha and she's always been wonderful and sets students up for success. I honestly wish I could take all my courses with Alisha. Highly recommend.
I absolutly love her as an instructor.
Absolutely an amazing instructor. Thank you for always helping me with questions that aren't always related to the course you teach, sorry for being awful at replying to your responses. You've helped me so much and I appreciate that & you a lot! :)
Very prepared. Understands the pressures of student/work life very well. Wonderful class instructor!
one of the best teachers i have had. she always keep class interesting while on topic. She marks assignments very fairly and is super easy to contact. i hope i get her again!
I've had Alisha for Indigenous studies, Sociology and leadership courses. She genuinely loves teaching. She is good at talking about sensitive subjects that are discussed in these 3 courses. She is also pretty funny and does great voices! I've had many teachers over the last 3 years and she is one of the best!
Alisha was one of my favorite professors! She is clear and precise in her lessons. She is also a great leader, by serving us as students through influence on decisions. If you contact her for an extension, she gladly lets you, and you can tell she has a heart full of love. :)
Alisha is an amazing instructor. I thoroughly enjoyed her class and I hope I get the opportunity to have her again!
Alisha is AMAZING. Her classes are so interesting and fun. She knows way more about her subject than just whats in the text, so she adds a lot of great info and is super at answering questions. Clear assignment instructions and on the easy side for marking, which is never a bad thing. Love, love, love her. Favourite class every week!
Alisha is really nice and a fair grader. She's flexible with her students and understanding.
Caring and a wealth of Knowledge. Appreciated the down to earth and always gave 100% percent in classes. Evident that people enjoyed this class. My only feedback from someone that listen to recordings is that they were very long with lots of side chatter. Had to skip through lots to get to the course material after a long day.
Loved the lectures; information made easy to understand with relative examples.
I love Alisha! She gets you intrigued in all the lectures. I work fulltime, and i watch the lectures at home when i get the chance, but she has such great teaching methods. she genuinely cares and is always positive.
I am not done this course yet, I just wanted to say how awesome it is to have someone teach me about wellness in a way that is accessible, honors mental health, and does not glamorize diet culture. I was nervous to take this course but now I wish that I had a teacher like Alisha several years ago when I was really struggling with my self esteem
She genuinely cares about students and wants them to succeed. Alisha is an excellent communicator, easily accessible, and easy to listen to.
Great teacher! Very mindful of issues discussed in class and very informative.
Alisha has been the best teacher throughout my program. Since my first semester, I've made sure to check for her name in my upcoming classes. She is a rare gem!
If you have the pleasure of getting into Alisha's class--you've won life. She is the best! So fun, so knowledgeable, and makes learning the material super fun. She laughs a lot, will joke around, but knows when to be serious. 20/10 rating from this cat!
The most organized teacher ever. Conveys a very open, and understanding personality, without any judgments. Alisha is very smart but extremely humble in the way she conveys her intelligence. I loved having her as a teacher.
For just starting in University Studies this has been a great class. She gives great feedback and explains clearly what she is asking for. Alisha is a caring teacher when grading and not biased at all. I will look forward to another class with her in my academic future!
It is an absolute pleasure to learn from someone who is so passionate about teaching and passionate about the course content. Online lectures were engaging and she provides many clear examples of the concepts that are relevant today. It is clear that she cares deeply about her students and provides them with the best opportunity to be successful.
This professor gave us lots of activities to do in the classroom which helped me REALLY understand what I was doing rather than remembering stuff for a quiz. She is awesome!
She is the best teacher i have had to learn from all my years of study. she is just marvelous, she makes teaching fun and learning easy.
Very non- judgemental her kindness for every human being shines through in her passion, her integrity is impeccable
Im so glad that I got a chance to be under Ms Alisha. She is just so good professor and she knows what she is talking about. I just love her.
Love her personality!
Shes amazing. I hope I have her classes in the future.
She is amazing!
Very professional and caring. You could definitely tell that she loves to teach the topics and is very knowledgeable. She was also very understanding when it came to extensions or circumstances, and always tried her best to help students who were struggling with those aspects. Definitely one of my favourite teachers and made this course fun!
Didnt care about the way the classes were taught. Felt there was alot of information missed because some people learn with chatting. No notes posted or slideshows to read. Not a great way for learns who learn beyond chatting
This is my second class with Alisha and I really recommend her. Her slides, notes, and assignments are posted weeks in advance on bright space and she gives good feedback really quick. Nice person and interesting content!
This professor is extremely friendly and caring. Her lectures are very interactive and informative. Alisha made this semester an enjoyable experience, and makes it clear that she values all her students. The way she can covey course material shows that she is passionate about this class and its content! Overall she is a wonderful professor.
She is very knowledgeable and shares lots of stories and examples to help you understand! Made learning engaging, fun and easy.
Alisha feels like an advocate for all her students. She's an amazing instructor. She teaches and marks fairly. I have a hard time processing and understanding information at times and she is easily approachable and took time for phone calls to explain assignments which helped me understand them more clearly, and helped me maintain my B standing.
amazingly great
I thoroughly enjoyed this class. By far my favourite instructor. She is very caring, makes the content interesting and has great teaching methods. She adds humor and different stories and analogies making learning so much easier.
Her grading of our assignments was reasonable. She responds immediately with our concerns. Alisha is a kind professor to everyone.
She is very nice and approachable.
just awesome, love her!
Alisha is an EXCELLENT instructor. Online classes can be tricky. But Alisha is SUPER informative, organized, accessible, kind, friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful. This makes everything much easier. Highly recommend her classes. I rate her 10/10. She totally sets students up for success. And good instructors are what make successful students :)
Alisha was perfect as an instructor. She was knowledgeable about the course, taught well, and had a soothing voice that made learning easy.
Alisha cares about her students and wants them to succeed.
Alisha is young and personable, and makes going to lectures exciting! She interacts well with students while staying on task and teaching the material. I learned a lot from her, and I hope to have her as an instructor in future classes!
Amazing professor! Captivated my attention and made us feel confident in our ability to learn.
Alicia responds very quickly to correspondence, uses humour in her lectures and appreciates participation. She is very receptive to feedback and requests for extensions and is understanding of student stress
Alisha is so kind and full of knowledge that it encourages you to do well in her class. She was very generous with time extensions and omitting questions that the class seemed to struggle with. She really seemed to care if we succeeded. It was a pleasure to be in her class and I hope to learn from her again in the future.
Alicia was very kind and personable, she returned marks in a timely fashion and was always entertaining and had a great energy about her.
Alisha is wonderful! She is very knowledgeable and makes the material applicable to real life. She is understanding and caring, and gave really encouraging feedback on assignments. Her lectures are engaging, interesting, and fun. I would definitely take a course with Alisha again=)
Alisha, is a funny easy going professor that listen and cares about her student.
Really fun and engaging in online classes. Very accommodating on due dates.
Professor Alisha is engaging and accommodating. The material is interesting, and she makes it applicable to real life. Using resources like Unstuck AI alongside the textbook helps with study prep. I'd gladly take another course with Alisha.
She is cool...
Professor Alisha David is amazing! Her lectures are clear, engaging, and inspiring. She truly cares about her students and gives great feedback. I'd love to learn from her again!
I wasn't excited about LDER but it was my favorite class because of Alisha. She is so smart, approachable and kind. She's also funny, and engaging (sometimes my boyfriend thought I was listening to a podcast). I grew up disliking school, but if there were more educators like Alisha, I would have loved it much sooner. TAKE. HER. CLASSES.
Alisha is one of the best professors! She consistently makes the content engaging and informative. I appreciate how she includes self-care activities in each class. The assignment instructions are straightforward and effectively help apply textbook knowledge. I hope to take another one of her classes during my time at NLC.
Alisha is a very caring and compassionate instructor.
Alisha is amazing as she went above and beyond to explain everithing, remind us about the classes , quizes, and make sure we have everithing what we need to do well in her class.
