Not hot, first of all. Lectures are useless and teach at best 3 concepts from each chapter.

I HATED her flipped classroom situation for macro 1bb3.

She didn't talk much during lectures and wanted us to learn from her videos only. Also forced us to buy her useless textbook. I learned next to nothing from her.

Hate this prof so much she doesn't teach at all you literally have to teach everything yourself

hard midterm test :) class average is too low

Shes the worst professor that I ever have

she's really rude and the worst prof in the school.

She is rude, and she tries to make the course overly difficult. There is a lot of homework because, it is a blended class but its easy. I never went to lectures since they were essentially useless, she spends half of the class talking about nonsense. Econ 1B03 is not an easy A with this prof, so don't take it if you think it'll be a bird course.

Textbook Mandatory for homework :) An average professor and chair of undergraduate studies with no people skills. She is rude in general.

This Prof only spits out what she thinks in her mind in a COMPLICATED way WITHOUT caring how a year1 student who knows nothing about macro. can understand. Midterms were so HARD and surprise because it is different than what you normally see. Her questions only confuses you rather than helping you ready and become familiar with the test question.

Terrible prof. She is rude and treats her students like children. The lectures are irrelevant and her videos dont explain anything. Textbook isnt much better, get ready to teach yourself the whole course!

She is the worst prof I have ever met, I hope I will never see her again.

A really rude person that does not really care about her students. Treats us like kids and when you get answers wrong during lectures it's almost like she finds it amusing or funny that you do not understand the concepts that she is bad at teaching. Also do not rely on practice tests and exams, everything is completely different on the real thing.

Made us buy HER textbook, which was bundled with software that was required for the course because Avenue iSnT gOOd eNoUgH for Miss Bridget. Making hundreds of people buy the book each year isn't very good for the environment hun, but I'm sure its good for your pocket. Can't even resell because you need the software which expires.

Uncaring , snappish person. Claims to be interested in teaching and learning, and who has done quite some research involving students, yet is quite unapproachable and rigid in her coursework and interactions. Forces you to pay $100+, otherwise you lose marks (probably for her personal gain).

Hardest marking prof and worst prof ive ever had.

She does not even care about her class. The time limit on quizzes are so low. It wants you to complete 20 questions some of which are calculation questions in 30 minutes. The averages for first two quizzes were 60 and 50. But even after mentioning the problem, she does not care. The last course that I would want to get in my uni life.

Terrible, worst professor i have. Quizzes are extremely difficult with little time. Live by the textbook!

She is not understanding at all!

She was absolutely horrible and evidently did not care one bit about her students. Was not understanding at all in a time like the pandemic and every time she was reached out to for help, she made the students feel stupid. The quizzes were hard and long with not enough time and her response was "many people did well". The average was 60% -_-

Puts zero effort into teaching. The videos are all from 2017 and there are usually 10-15 minutes of lecture a week. Most of the time she doesn't even lecture and just does interviews with other econ profs. Gives almost no time on quizzes. Ironic that the course is called 'Economics of Bad Behaviour' when her behaviour as a teacher is shameful.

She won't hear your reasoning to anything. Basically, if you have a complaint, missed an assignment, or anything, she'll just tell you "i hAvE pOsTeD iT aLl oN tHe SyLlAbUs". Around 3 assignments a week, even though they're pretty easy, but her lectures aren't informative and you basically have to rely on the textbook if you want to pass.

She gives bad marks for literally everything. I got 6/10 even from a reflection in which the students comments. Probably she did not like my comments and give a low mark. The quizzes are so tough. You have to complete 20 questions in 30 mins. Our quiz averages are around 55 percent. The only change she does is the change in weigh of quizzes.

Every single thing in this course is a tedious waste of time. The tests are horribly difficult because of which the class average is super low, and it's impossible to contact her.

Professor does not teach the class well, communications outside of class are not helpful, and no mercy is shown. Most of the grade was based on only a few quizzes with inconsistent due dates. Quizzes were also poorly organized as moving between questions was not allowed. One of the worst professors I've taken.

First, her quizzes are unreasonably hard but she blames the bad marks on people not watching her videos, which are 5-minute screen recordings of her drawing graphs. Second, she is very aggressive when replying to emails. Be ready for her to just tell you to check her announcements then make a passive-aggressive remark, but that's IF she replies.

From the beginning of the course she was already terrible. One of the last to update the course webpage yet one of the first to assign major homework. The course was graded very heavily on short quizzes. Marks on critical reflection were arbitrary. Communication with her is not helpful at all, avoid this prof

Don't take her class if you're not good at self studying. Worst Professor Ever

Took prof. O'Shaughnessy's first year macro Econ class in my 3rd year(fall 2020) She is EXTREMELY RUDE, her posts on avenue are very defensive and condescending!!! She continuously posted the weekly content late, made so many little assignments due every week that it was inevitable that you would miss a few. Ruthless grading. Overall, horrible prof

Quizzes are nothing like the homework, you only get 30 minutes to do 20 questions and there are calculations.

My advice to you is to stay away from this prof, she is really rude and not a good teacher if you are going into first year you will have a bad first experience with her as your teacher, do your self a favour and take any one else and you be fine.

I do not know how can she be a prof. For the group discussion, she focus 80% on the name of the discussion you post and ignore the content you write. If you use wrong name, you get zero, no matter how fantastic you wrote in the content. She does NOT teach all the knowledges you are required in the quiz and the quiz take 78% grades. DO NOT TAKE IT!

Worst, worst Prof ever meet, have no idea why she can be a professor. When you try to ask her questions, she never gives you the feedback, it seems like an automatic response.

Okay, honestly how is this person even a professor. I mean she is extremely rude and unprofessional, her "teaching" is terrible she has no passion for the subject and her overall attitude is just terrible. She does not care about her students one bit, if you try talking to her she will just be rude to you, she is the worst professor in the school.

VERY RUDE AND NOT UNDERSTANDING.

The rudest prof I'd ever seen.

How can she be a prof? Shame for her

This rating goes along with the entire economics department at McMaster. Overall, makes the quizzes extremely difficult. I complete all homework, lecture videos, and extra work and completing the quizzes on time *with confidence* is still not manageable.

The weekly quizzes for econ1bb3 don't make any sense. I did all my homework, watched all the videos, made notes, finished all the suggested questions, still could only get around 75% on the quizzes(which is already higher than most of the averages). And she doesn't even reveal the correct answers to quiz questions...

If I could give this prof a -5 rating I would. Worst prof at mac. She has 0 empathy for her students especially during a time where students are going through a lot due to the pandemic. She focuses mainly on the title of the group discussions rather than the actual content and quality of the post. How did she even become a prof is my question

Worst course Ive taken at McMaster . The economics department overall has been horrible but this prof really made sure youd leave the course wanting nothing to do with economics again. Very inconsiderate to international students with her assignment/ quizzes timings, stubborn, and unfair with her quizzes. Dont bother studying, it wont matter.

She isn't really nice and she doesn't care about her students. The professor doesn't even let us see what we got wrong on quizzes so we can't learn properly. Her excuse is that there isn't an exam, but micro-econ didn't have an exam and we still saw what we got wrong. Horrible prof that grades opinions when they shouldn't even be graded. She sucks.

The quizzes has nothing to do with the lectures or the readings. I would study 4 days before each quiz to prepare and I'd still end up with 70s. There's honestly no point in studying, as the quizzes are only 30 minutes, with 20 questions and many calculations.

The prof is complete garbage. Didn't care her students. Failed many assignments for petty marks such as not using the proper naming convention or spelling my full name instead of my shortened name that appears on avenue. Wouldn't recommend taking unless you absolutely need to.

The content she teaches aka the textbook required for the course does not contain 50% of the information used on the quizzes. When confronted about the issues in the course she blames the students. Does not take any responsibility for the poor quality of her course. Worst prof I had at Mac easily

I have never seen a prof so SERIOUS about naming conventions rather than THE ACTUAL CONTENT WRITTEN. I pray she gets fired. Worst prof to ever exist

Literally the worst prof I have ever had in my 4 years at McMaster. Took her macroeconomics course during covid as a complementary course. I have never had a prof care more about the naming convention than the actual content. She literally thinks an assignment should get either a 0 or a 100. I have literally never disliked a prof this much.

Does not care about students. You can write a discussion post with good content, but will receive a horrible grade if the title is not written the way she wants it. The lectures she posts are from years ago and are out of date as most of the content on the quizzes are not covered in the lectures or even the textbook.

I absolutely hate her. Very rude and annoying. Please I beg you do not take this class.

This professor does not budge with her grading whatsoever, and she is too worried about proper naming of titles. For a report worth 8% of the grade, she automatically gave a mark of zero to students who submitted the file in anything other than a word doc, regardless of how well written the report was. She does not give part marks only 0 or 100.

It's clear that Professor O'Shaughnessy severely lacks empathy and sensitivity towards her students, especially during a pandemic. A professor is only affective if they are able to sympathize and understand their students, something that she specifically lacks. This course was extremely disappointing - thanks to prof. O'Shaughnessy.

This teacher makes this class way harder than it needs to be. The tests and the lecture content are never the same and she doesnt even go through all the topics in the lecture videos. Safe the say the econ profs are terrible

Very rude prof who does not respond well to questions. She seems to care more about arguing than helping. Her 'lectures' don't match the quizzes and it's overall just a bad experience. Would never take again. Pretty much paid to experience the most god awful , useless course with a prof that is not capable of being professional (very petty.)

Easily the worst econ prof I've ever had. I feel bad because she isn't avoidable in the first year and you will end up having her for Macroeconomics. All I can say is be prepared to work hard, participate, and suck it up because she is absolutely HORRIBLE. Doesn't help out, her videos are mediocre at best, and she never answers her email.

She's the worst prof i have seen in my life... I'm currently in her macroecon course and she doesn't give feedback on assignments or tests just a mark... The one bit of feedback i received was this doesn't answer the question. A sizable portion of my class is in the same boat as me and an email just leads to her belittling you

Super lazy. 2 units were not released because she just didnt release them. Grades were super late. No feedback. I did very poor in the class because I had nothing to work with and she grades crazy hard. No textbook was nice but she just gave huge readings through the e reserves. Supposed to be a bird course and almost failed cause of her.

Not a recommend Econ class unless you need to take it.

Bridget is very apathetic. She reuses these very boring lectures that you have to play at 2 times speed to not die of boredom. All my learning was through the textbook I paid $100 for, not the $1000 course. Grading hilarious, laziest scheme on the planet. On projects, you either get 100%, 60%, or 0%. So lazy. 77% of your grade is multiple choice

Don't try and reach out to her, she won't answer. At the end of the semester our grades disappeared from Avenue and the mark showed up on Mosaic during week 2 of 2nd semester. We didn't get a grade for our final and I needed a 55% on the final in order to finish with the mark she gave me on Mosaic. No transparency and terrible communication.

I had her for first year Econ and she was the worst. Looking back as a third year I realized a lot of professors arent like her. She was very rude and did not help our plus she had this rule where if you failed more than 1 test you failed her class which to first year students, this is a horrible thing to do. I recommend you not take her classes

The course material is fine. Most of the mark, 80%, is from quizzes. If you do well on the quizzes and homework, you can get a B without much studying. Though, O'Shaughnessy does have a passive-aggressive tone during office hours and was not helpful.

I'm really disappointed because I was looking forward to this course. I study like 4 days ahead of the quizzes and still get horrible grades, simply because the questions on the quiz and the required readings/lectures are mostly unrelated. Really passive-aggressive in her office hours, don't take this course if you don't need it.

Absolutely the worst course I've taken at Mac. Lecture material is useless and doesn't relate to the quizzes. Would stay away if it's not a required course. DO NOT TAKE IT UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO.

The majority of the class is done through either textbook reading or online videos (which do not teach the content very well). the courses consisted of 3 large tests each very theory heavy, with many of the questions being contradictory from the textbook.

no help ever

Not really care about students and teacher.

The professor teaches poorly and you just have to teach yourself about the course. I don't get why I am paying all this money to educate myself. She is very passive-aggressive when asking questions to her and very unhelpful. Very test heavy especially with a 5o% exam and total tests weighting out to 85% of your mark. Overall horrible professor.

If you want a profesor to give you no support and dock you marks for naming your document wrong and giving you zeros for submitting as a pdf take this course. Ridiculous.

she is just the worst prof every please dont ever ever take this course. she is so bad i dont understand why are they letting her teach at the university.

Bridget O'Shaughnessy is one of the worst profs at mac (in my opinion). If you want to do good in this class be ready to read EVERYTHING in the textbook. 95% of the marking scheme is tests, first test is 15, mid term is 30 and final exam is 50. Minimal review questions are also given so have fun.

It has been over 20 days since the completion of the course and the final grade has still not been released. This professor needs to release the grades at a minimum before the start of the next semester. Grades are influential in selecting future courses to take. No reason we should be waiting this long.

She gives out 15-minute videos that cover the basic concepts and expects students to read the entire chapter for the rest of the content. she offers no other resources to cover the content. If you're taking this course as an elective, go for ECON1B03 with Colin Mang; he has about 4 x 20 min videos that cover the textbook sections extremely well.

Just generally a bad Professor!

worst prof ever. I hated her lectures her videos on avenue were bad overall very bad never again

The homework has the number of questions up to 30, and there 12 homeworks, which only takes 5% of the total grade of the course and often use a long time to complete. The participation questions also takes a small percentage in the overall marks.

avoid if possible. youre meant to read a chapter from the textbook every week, BEFORE lecture. gives you almost no resources to succeed besides a few videos a week that usually cover topics outside the textbook. 95% of your grade relies on 3 tests with the final being cumulative 50%.

Bridget doesn't teach! Her content is dulled down from the textbook and her slideshows are super short and incomprehensible. Even keeping up with weekly lectures and homework activities, its very hard to do well on her tests (as seen by test averages). Textbook reading is ok, but YOU should be teaching the course, not a textbook.

She was alright at teaching just her tests made you reconsider your life choices

Provided No Review Material. Online videos are awful, compared to econ 1B03.

Video and lecture content is practically useless so you just have to teach yourself everything through textbook. Just wrote the final and it was ridiculously hard compared to midterms. Was supposed to be half ch. 4-8 and half 9-12, was more like 75% ch. 10.

Level of difficulty for a first year macro course is ridiculous. Midterm and especially final exam questions are way harder than any practice given. Also, she gives really low grades for very small mistakes on the optional work. My friend formatted a discussion post wrong and got a 0.

Don't take this course with her unless you absolutely need to. This woman does not care about students AT ALL and will fail everyone if she could. Get ready to teach yourself everything.

Awful

She is poor at research but perfect at thinking nothing of her students. Exams are designed to be way-off her lectures and the textbooks, her explanations on questions are ambiguous and vague. Definitely avoid her for 1BB, even if she may be the only one teaching 1BB but there should be some other professors teaching this course later on.

She is harsh when it comes to changing the tests a little bit (she wouldn't even raise our marks). Not only that but she expects us to learn the whole entire textbook when it comes to exam seasons, do past exam papers, and review the lessons we learned. She is quite difficult to work with and wouldn't really help you.

Very unorganized professor. Quizzes are okay but the format (where you only answer one question at a time and cannot go back) is very inconsiderate as it doesn't account for students who may need to think for longer than a minute or two about a question. This prof is confused about her own deadlines and needs reminders to fix things all the time.

Professor did not teach nearly well enough for how hard the final exam was, especially considering it was weighted at 50%. I definitely would not recommend this course as an elective. ECON 1B03 with Colin Mang would be a better option for students looking to get a feel for what economics is all about.

If you can avoid taking a course with this professor avoid her at all costs! The worst professor I have had at Mac EVER. She should not be a professor she does not teach anything and does not care at all about students. Even if you have an approved absence through your department she will refuse to except! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

horrible prof dont take this class if u dont have too makes everything so complicated

She is so mean!!!

terrible teacher too strict

HORRENDOUS, AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Unless you have her for a class you are required to take (even then I'd suggest switching your program) I recommend avoiding her. By far the worst prof of all time ridiculously strict for absolutely no reason has no care for her students and never responds to anything likely because she cannot face her own mistakes.

The exam is challenge

I never wore my seat belt while driving to school because I wanted to die before making it to her class. WORST PROFESSOR EVER

would rather drop out then be in her class again

She assumes you know the content already and when you ask a question she makes you feel stupid and then proceeds to not answer the question.

Absolutely horrible, never take this course, if it is required, switch your program from Commerce to Eng, commerce is the hardest program in the world. This professor has to the worst human to live. Took my calculator even tho it was legal. I want to die everyday because of her course. GG

Only take this course if you ABSOLUTELY have to for your program. This course is purely self taught by students. O'Shaughnessy does not answer questions, instead she says, "email me" or "read the outline". She fails students on their assignments on not using the proper naming format.

Just wrote the exam for 1BB3 and this was likely the worst two hours of my life. Extremely difficult compared to midterms and practice exams, almost like I wasn't even writing for the same course. She gave me a 0% on an assignment without even evaluating what I wrote just because I named it wrong. Absolutely childish.

Prof marks super difficultly and makes tests super hard.

horrible prof avoid class at all costs

Sadly my first introductory class in uni, her pessimistic attitude made this class unbearable and I was quite worried that this would be the next 4 years of my life, fortunately it does not have to be this way, there are several great profs who contribute to an overall enjoyable learning experience, this cannot be said for Bridget O'Shaugnessy.,

It is a week and a half into the next semester and I still don't have like 25% of my marks back on Avenue and my grade isn't in Mosaic. Feedback and criteria on rubrics is also terrible, so don't expect to know why you're getting the marks you are unless you go to office hours and ask about each individual thing you got marks off for. Hate her bro

Absolutely terrible prof. We didn't start to receive feedback/grades on assignments until the end of November and I am still missing some of my grades. It is almost the end of January and we still have not received final grades. She is incredibly difficult and picky when it comes to naming documents and discussion posts. AVOID.

awful in every aspect

No proper lecture, but assigns so much reading from random textbooks. The course content feels like an after thought. Picky with file names and formats. Department chair had to email students to apologize for her not releasing our final marks. It's been 45 days since the exam. (Still no marks)

Prof sucks

Very poor professor with very poor communication. Failed to tell us about file types for submission, then wouldn't agree to mark my submission...then finally agreed but penalized me unfairly. Unclear rubrics and no feedback. It's been almost a month into the second semester, and let alone our final marks, we're still getting term work marks.

The course was poorly run, with outdated readings and minimal feedback during the term. Over a month after the final, we still don't have our grades, and marks for mid-term assignments are appearing randomly. While the content was interesting, I wouldn't recommend it due to the professor's lack of effort.

prof is bad

Makes no sense why she is the only prof for macro. Very unstructured lectures and her notes are terrible. Always cancels lectures and if u don't title a discussion exactly how she wants u get a zero. If u are not in commerce do not take this course.

AVOID HER CLASSES AT ALL COSTS; extremely unfair; I got As in all and failed in this course bring my GPA down. She fails discussion posts for switching the first name and last name place in the naming convention. Idk why she is still teaching; If you HAVE to take this course, do it in the summer with a different prof

Not a big fan of her marking techniques and her lack of care towards students.

Really bad Prof avoid if possible. Tough marker and very specific. Doesn't teach important concepts during lectures and says to watch her awful videos where she lets out disgusting gulps every 3 seconds. Do her extra work provided but make sure you follow every guideline or you will lose 50%.

Let me be clear material isn't hard. Her videos are incomplete, and feel loweffort. You cant rely on them. In Micro, everything was covered in the videos, so maybe I got too used to that. Not to mention she complains in the afternoon lecture about repeating herself from the morning lecture, which just adds to the feeling of low effort. Switch out.

Does not care about students well being/ success in the course. (Lots of students feel this way)

Worthless.

DON'T TAKE THIS COURSE IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

Her lecture notes are awful, terrible communication and she simply does not care about the students. Her videos are bad and discussion post guidelines are ridiculous. It's a shame that commerce students are forced to take her macro class as a mandatory credit because it is the worst. IF YOU ARE NOT IN COMMERCE AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

please run away

She couldn't be worse. Impolite, bossy, not teaching well, .... Should be changes with more educated and nicer people.

I don't know why McMaster University let professors like her teach to poor students. She is disrespectful and puts minimum effort into teaching properly. If she has survived so far, it is probably because of Aleksandra's effort, not her.

She is mean. I don't dare to talk to her because she may shout as she did before. I think those rare good reviews are written by her family otherwise no one would be happy with how this person behaves and teaches.

RUN AND DONT LOOK BACK

very unprofessional, dosent teach at all

guys people are not lying when they say she is the spawn of satan. avoid at all costs for the love of god. i would rather dip my eyeballs in bleach and eat them than take her class again respectfully

Got to the point where I made myself ignore she existed.

Literally horrible. Do not take this class willingly. Not only did she cancel lectures every other week, she gave next to zero practice for the midterms which left everyone totally unprepared. The only practice she gave us was 2/3 textbook questions per chapter. The content itself is not hard, it's just her that makes it impossible to learn.

She doesn't even teach I don't understand what she's getting paid for. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS.

She is awful. She does not care about the students. Take this course in summer to avoid her.

The professor who missed three of his nine classes, I've been in school for years and I've never met a professor this outrageous.She doesn't care what you write on your assignment just that your name is formatted correctly

She is very bad at both teaching and communication. Someone called us dumb for giving bad comments (two comments below). I am wondering if this person is genuine how could know that got A on the course which is not finished yet.

Useless prof, everything in this course is self taught, the only point in going to lectures is for the bonus participation grades. She's missed 3 of 9 lectures, I have genuinely no idea what they're paying her for. Claims to be passionate about blended learning, yet she can't figure out how to hook up a computer to a projector.

Bridget is a terrible professor, take Macro with someone else if you can . SOS

terrible prof

She's boring. Don't even bother attending her lectures. Teach yourself using the textbook and online modules.

the fact that your reading this says enough

Words cannot describe how much I dislike this woman. She's the lazies prof ive had this year, no effort into teach the course, videos are horrible. Just dont take this course unless you have to because these the only option.

Can't teach, Doesn't know how to use technology, Worst prof at Mac

She literally cancels class 10 mins before start time and she's done this multiple times…

Would not even consider miss oshunussy a prof because she was away majority of semester due to breaking limbs, contracting diseases, and going on vacation. When she broke her finger she had some lady write on the board for her and they were not on the same pace. Tests are not generous and very heavy. No formula sheet. I would rather go 2 jail !!

cancelled so many classes, doesn't explain topics in class. Tough grader, terrible videos online, and doesn't even show up to her own exam.

Theres one reason i tagged it inspirational, i was inspired to die. Thats not even over exaggerating, everyday on my commute I hoped the go bus would just set ablaze. I got A+ in all my courses and this course I just took the exam and im expecting a C. I did over 10 practice exams but she changes the wording and makes it confusing so much.

If you're commuting and this is your first class, check A2L often for last-minute lecture cancellations! She has cancelled with less than an hour's notice before. Exam questions don't match the video content and are purposely tricky in wording, so be prepared for that."

The final exam and midterms were not as bad as people are making them seem. Several questions picked right out of her study guides. However, she cancelled several lectures on short notice, was rude and annoying, asked us to watch her useless videos and made the course way more difficult than it should have been.

Worst class I've taken. The slides would be blank, and nothing taught in class. to understand the material you'd have to read the textbook, watch her videos and teach yourself. Also cancelled 3 classes (out of 12) and to get the extra marks you'd actually have to go to the useless lectures. Would never take a class w her again - choose a diff prof.

She's a grumpy lady

Honestly this course was so terrible it made me question whether i was qualified in pursuing a future in economics. I missed the second midterm because i had a family death and my final was worth about 75%. The way she worded the final was so odd and tricky for absolutely no reason. At this point i hope i just get a C so i can get into my program.

Took this class as an elective out of personal interest. Ended up being more stressful than my important courses. Stay away.

This is NOT a bird. I repeat this is NOT A BIRD. If you take this class with her, it will only give you unneeded stress. She doesn't teach in lectures and relies on short modules (underexplains) and the textbook (overexplains). The examples given in homework also doesn't help you prepare at all. The exam was also very difficult to understand.

PowerPoints during lectures mostly contains information on textbooks, and sometimes more important information that is not mentioned on textbooks. The textbook reading takes a couple hours to just chew through.

Absolute no humanity.

Professor never responds to your email, doesn't care about her job at all. Do not take her class and waste time on if it's not necessary.

Terrible lady that just wanted to get paid and do not care about her students at all. Decided to go on a trip to some other places and skipped classes. Tests were very difficult and a lot of the contents weren't covered. Do not take her class.

Unclear grading guidelines and rubrics. Does not take questions at all if you try to ask her. Absolutely terrible.

A random lady puts her paycheck first instead of her students.

Awful exam, terrible experience, average was below 60 for both MIDTERMS AND EXAM. DON'T take this class.

Tons of homework, in the first day of class she basically said everyone needs to spend 18-24 hours per week on this course or else is likely to fail.

Never ever replies email after work, very unhelpful and don't take her

Incredibly inflexible and unreasonable.

DON'T TAKE THE COURSE UNLESS YOU WANT A 1.0 GPA

By far the worst prof I've had at McMaster. She was cold, rude, and unprofessional—responded to emails after ages with 1-line replies and spelling mistakes. Zero empathy, harsh marking on petty details, and useless feedback. Caused constant stress with her attitude. Harsh grading and zero support. Avoid at all costs.

Forces you to pay over $100 to access the MANDATORY homework. Automatically enrolled in a textbook nobody wanted. At least I get email replies, even though they're extremely rude. Why teach if you hate your job and everyone around you?

She never makes it specific which material is and isn't on midterms, just throws a bunch of slides and textbooks at you and tells you you need to learn material on your own, she doesn't cover any material in class.

Had her only for around a week and a bit and you can just tell she does not care about her students, she hates reading emails and discourages us from them, and proudly stated her grade average on tests is in the 60s

had to come back and give her a one

assigns so much work and tests, very inaccessible, and cancels all her lectures so you have to teach yourself

Makes things due at 11 pm for some reason, reads off slides for lectures, cancels lectures for fun, and is just an atrocious prof in general

Her lecture slides were just really uninformative, they were vague, lacked detail, and if you're going in studying the slides, she will have her ways to test you on things that weren't even on them, so good luck taking her class.

She is not very professional and does not care about the students. She also cancelled class and wouldn't curve the midterm even though everyone failed.

Take 1BB3 in the summer u dont want this prof. cancels last minute, she canceled 3 times before the midterm. everyone failed and she didnt curve it. DONT TAKE HER IF U WANT A DECENT GRADE

Missed like 4 lectures out of 12 and has been late to ever other one. She clearly doesn't want to seek advice from students who want to help her improve her course or teaching, and doesn't want to learn to use echo360 to give out marks as she gave up on it half way through the semester instead if learning how to use the tech. DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS!

Too much homework for no reason, useless slides, shows up to class 15 mins late (50 min lectures) and cancels 3 (out of 12) classes last minute when students take the effort to show up to class. Course isn't too bad, but she doesn't care about us learning and puts her paycheck first. Don't take her if you don't like grumpy old ladies. Avoid her!!!

engaging lecturers, makes things due at 11, I got a zero one time because I labelled my assignment with an extra underscore by accident, showed up to 8/12 lectures all year and didn't bother to fix her technology, makes things WAY more complicated than they need to be, didn't curve test when everyone failed because she didn't teach ANYTHING

Hard class

she is stubborn and just avoid her, class isn't hard, she just stuck up.

easy class, annoying prof.

worst prof at mcmaster

This is the worst professor I'll ever encounter. She constantly missed class and showed up late, couldn't get any of her technology to work which even led to getting rid of participation marks as a whole. Additionally, her practice material was unlike the final at all. It shows she does not care about her students, and her marks reflect that.

Worst Professor of all time!

THE WORST PROF EVER. I cannot express how much I don't like her, she is always grumpy and makes the final nothing like the content. She cancels every lecture a few min before. The average was below a 50 for the test and she still didn't curve it because she said no one shows up to class but SHE DOESNT TEACH. Don't take this class ever.

This class is basically an independent study with a very grumpy supervisor. Lectures are optional (for the prof), teaching is rare, and the exams feel like they were written for a different universe. Asking questions seems to lower the room temperature. Learned a lot about stress, not much about the subject.

If I had a DN I'd write her name down. Istg she's got an issue with everything in life. The only reason I got that grade is cuz I self taught and one of my other friends helped me. She's actually insane and should go to therapy

Definitely the worst prof I've had. If you have the option to avoid her please take it. I'm just lucky I took economics in high school which got me through to the midterm. My A- was achieved in spite of her teaching.

Often late, no study material
