Wonderful teacher, one of the best I've ever had, interesting person.

Jumps around in lectures, defensive in-class, super-helpful in office hours

easy class, fairly nice. skipped most of my classes, still did well on two midterms. i did my presentation two weeks after it was due and still got 80%. the final was hard (only because we didn't get the questions beforehand, like the midterms)

Very nice lady, pay attention in class, she tests on her lectures not on the text book, need extra help, see her in her office...have difficultiies due to outside of school events, she will help you thru the course and be very easy on the due dates.

sweet lady, class is interesting...the start is kinda tidious, but it gets better. no reason why you can't get an A

She is such a nice little lady! Her tests are not hard, as long as you review before! She is easy to talk to, and provides help if you ask her. She is very interesting, and most people in class enjoy her lectures. I loved taking classes with her!!

A. Bursewicz is the easiest teacher I have had. But she is friendly, helpful, and stays on topic. I am taking another class with her this semester. Make sure you take her, her exams are easy to write. Recommended if u want an easy A.

Sometimes i feel her class is very boring but she is actually nice..

what are her tests' format like?!

Very sweet lady, very helpful, and very intelligent! Makes the class super interesting! Easy midterms and final if you take notes! Pay attention to "example" midterm questions b/c many are actual midterm questions! One of my favorite teachers in

her lectures arent boring but interesting. but can't skip her classes cuz her midterms are based on the notes! she does take forever in marking and handing back exams (ex, 1 month). very nice and helpful too. esp if u want extensions.

A teacher who loves her subject. she's great, always happy, and an awesome teacher. one of the best teachers i have ever taken. take her, i don't think u'll regret it. her lectures are interesting, and well-organized. sometimes, she talksfast though.

great teacher. very funny in her own way. Made the class interesting and fun and a wonderful learning environment.

Good GPA booster. she is a very easy marker and very knowledgable. I found her to be quite defensive and a wee bit of a bitter scottish woman. Besides that she is pretty average.

I've taken many classes with Ariadne and she has a wealth of knowledge. Does not like stupid questions, so if she does not like you, that means you ask dumb Qs. HAha. She is probably the smartest woman I know in real life.

Very good instructor. Highly recommendable. She makes the subject interesting. Anyways, it's just good taking Anthropology with an experienced instructor.

AWESOME..AWESOME TEACHER!!I took all her anthro courses! If you need to boast your GPA then take as many classes w/her as possible.Even if you don't do well on the midterms/essays, she'll still give a great mark.Just smile n nod in class, n she'll love u!

She is so great!! She is the sweetest lady, so cute, and really easy-going. She is not a hard teacher, and is always willing to help. She is awesome! Loved her classes

this lady is so awesome!!! I loved her class, and she is a sweet and funny woman. Her class is interesting and she is really easy to understand. If you actually pay attention in class, there is no way for you to be lost. Highly reccomended

Such a sweet fantastic lady! Took a couple of classes to get used to her style, but very interesting! Any one who complains obviously is just taking her course for credit, and has no real interest in the subject matter anyways.

I took 3 classes with her. She knows is all. I have learned so much in her class. You have to get used to her style. If you follow well her instructions it is easy to get a good mark. Don't be freaked out by her attitude! She's a great lady, just show your interest.

I have taken two of her classes and she is a very good teacher. Any time that I needed help she was glad to give me assistance. If you pay attention in her class and don't ask stupid inane questions you will be well off. VERY interesting classes.

I like her a lot. Just be aware of her personality and don't take offense if she sounds deriding when answering your questions, she doesn't mean anything by it and probably doesn't realize how she can come off (especially as she loves student participation). Hard-ish exams, study your ass off.

Excellent Prof. Knows her stuff & loves it. Great class if you like anthro, if it bores you, don't bother. Teaches clear concepts then wants you to apply them on tests w/ case studies given in class (pay attention to stories!!) & in readings -can be difficult, but take GOOD notes, getting A not hard

She's probably my favorite professor at Langara. She's so nice, very approachable outside of class. And she's so incredibly smart, I learned so much from taking just one of her classes.

great teacher. knows what shes talking about unlike some teachers. pay close attention to lectures and show genuine interest and you should do well.

she is realy nice and helpfull.don't buy her books just attend to her classes and take notes that's all you need for her tests.the only problem is that she only gives you short amuont of time on the exams .her teaching style is more like high school teacher than a college professor but you can learn alot from her .

she is very helpful and nice.eassy to earn A grades from her

A nice teacher,but lectures not very clear.

Very easy to earn an A if you go to class and listen. She's very approachable after class. Exams are reasonable.

It was pretty slow and boring at the beginning, but once it picked up I began to enjoy it a lot more. She is a lovely woman, and a decent teacher - ask questions! She knows her subject and is very approachable. She asks the class a lot of questions that seem rhetorical, but waits for someone to answer. No one does and it makes the class drag by.

One of the best instructors that I had here at Langara. She is so helpful and willing to help you till the end. AS long as you come to classes and pay attention, you'll guaranteed to get a good mark.

she's nice

I don't like this teacher. The class is SO boring. She'll talk about one thing and then she'll go off into one of her stories which sometimes doesn't even relate to what we were discussing in the first place. She's making me hate anthropology. The only positive thing I can say about her is that she knows her stuff very well.

She is a walking encyclopedia; and a very amusingly queer woman. She's a tad disorganized, and content of exams are unclear---the second mid-term will most likely royally screw you. Anal, but lovable.

She's like your crazy great aunt Bertha: you just want to give her a hug, sip tea and chat about kinship nuances... That being said, she's very tangential and takes a very long time to get through material. It was not uncommon to come out of class with 2 lines of notes. Partly because she takes forever to write things on the board...

Very nice and sweet teacher. Very old school though, Won't give even half a mark if vocab word is even a bit off. 2nd exam hardest but very good teacher.

Great prof. easy to listen to, interesting stories that relate to course material. Take lots of notes on everything, even if she says you don't have to write it all down. She will ask for an example in the midterm/final. Study notes and attend class and you will get an A. Prof. often late/cancels class.

Greatest teacher, if you listen carefully she says some hysterical things. Not a hard marker if you study mildly and pay somewhat attention. Really lovely person, ask her for help and she will give you the answer you need. Take her class!

She's a wonderful person. Definitely an odd duck but in an adorable way. If you listen to lectures you will do great on the tests. Usually tells you exactly what will be on them. She's lived an interesting life and her stories are inspiring/interesting. She's hilarious in her own quirky way. Really a unique soul.

Sometimes she can be a bit patronizing, but i don't think its her intention. She's a very good teacher, although a bit old school. Pay attention in lectures, and don't be bashful to ask a lot of questions, she thrives on it, and class actually gets better with more participation.

Very passionate and intellectual teacher, hard worker uses every minute of class effectively, is never boring. I enjoyed every minute of her class. I like her style, very clear, and interesting. She is very particulate examinations, students have to be interested and study. One of my best teachers, certainly the one I have enjoyed the most.

This is a great class she really knows her material.If u don't like to study and only want an easy course do not take this class. This is an amazing teacher requires students care and effort. I would take all her classes if I could.

She's certainly eccentric and can sometimes have trouble controlling the class, but is very smart and knows her stuff. Says some hilarious things and has some interesting stories. Not a class where you can slack off and get by. Don't ask stupid questions either, or she gets irritated. Does not like repeating herself. Tests are hard too, study!!!!

Great teacher. She is hilarious. You truly have to be somewhat interested in Myths, legends,&folklores. Even if you don't know much about them, you will by the end of the course.Very helpful, overall fun class:)

A lovely woman with a cheeky sense of humour. She's clearly passionate about her field and is a treasure trove of information and interesting anecdotes from her vast life experience. Her classes, however, are not necessarily easy. She has high expectations of her students and exams can be challenging. Study hard, attend classes & you'll do well

Lovely woman with a huge breadth of knowledge in her field. Her syllabus provides little useful information, but the course is quite easy to keep up with if you attend regularly. Old fashioned and a little quirky, but the exams are easy and lectures are pleasant. If you're interested in the material, her class is worth taking.

HOWEVER I would only recommend her to people that are serious about anth. A's do not come easy - her exams are extremely difficult because of the style she uses. Try not to get first class of day, she often doesn't show - save your sleep. All-in-all be prepared to have fun and fail. "you get the idea"...

wow, she is the easiest prof i have ,i start study only the day before exam everytime,but i still got 24/25 for both midterm,essay will be easy if you read the article,you can go to her office and ask if u'r on the right track,but please be polite to her,or she wont be willing to help u

If I could take another course with her I would in a heartbeat. I got an A+, I'm a B student. Her material is extremely interesting and she hands out bonus marks like candy if you follow her instructions on writing essays! The tests are where you'll be writing essays, I don't remember writing any outside of testing. So in class is always nice :)
