She gets off as a weird feminist, but she teaches well, and is friendly.

clear, concise.. might be a bit too focused on terminology, but very nice.

pleasant and easy to deal with.... i liked her

Excellent professor. Well organized and clear. Does not tolerate fools.

fairly easy to understand but almost all lectures had a feminist tint to them...

A great teacher, as mentioned previously, does not suffer fools lightly... know your stuff and don't go off on idiotic tangants and you'll do fine

Overall a good teacher, but a very hard marker. It appears that she does not take into consideration that in a intro course this is some people's first look at Politcs. Go to class... bad things will happen if you don't

easy, gives you the exact questions for the exam, class is definitely optional

The beginning of the course can be dull, but trudge through all the readings and pay attention in class and the mid-term will be easy.

Short and peppy, don't talk about christian fundamentalism because she'll bite you in the ass. Good teacher and very fair, Midterm was easy and she provides a lot of overheads online.

She is one of my favourite profs! She goes through everything throughly in class and doesn't try to trick her students during tests and exams. She is also very easy and very interesting to talk to!

I love her! She's helpful, fair and easy-going. She has alot to say and says it well enough to understand. I appreciate the overheads online too! She's wonderful, and probably my favourite teacher!

Her notes and lectures are fairly well organized and explain the concepts fairly well. The films you watch in class you have to be careful not to fully beleive, as they are quite frequently full of propoganda (i.e. Capitalism is the devil type movies).

Nice prof displays info really well. Has a left-wing bias but does her best to show all sides. Good understanding of concepts

A very fair teacher...sometimes entertaining, will go out of her way to help if you go see her with a problem..

so awesome, i loved going to her class. her personal opinions and insights made the course much more interesting than it could have been. plus her lectures are pretty much substitutes for reading the book, so go to class and you'll be fine.

I really enjoyed this class, it wasn't what I expected but she's really accomodating for first year students, which is really helpful!

Very interesting, easy to follow, clear and easy exams!

Great Prof...incredibly smart and insightful. Her lectures are great, but you have to pay great attention, she can get very complex very quickly. However I definitely recommend any of her courses to anyone in in the poli sci. or cjpp programs.

She is a very boring teacher and like others have mentioned, allows her personal views to get in the way of the lecteur!

great teacher. very clear lectures. fair in marking.

Great PROF!

Intro to Pols and the Art of Pols. Fantastic Prof. Easy to follow. Really attentive to the students. Reference material is always there. A Prof without a chip on her shoulder. I'm following her throughout my education!

All depends on that mood of her's. Great authoritarian.

This is the third class that I've had with Dauda - she's a good prof and is wonderfully organized {her notes are all online}. A fair marker and willing to help you out when you need it. One warning: if you're politically on the far right you should start running now. *g*

very nice lady one on one. however, she has trouble controling a large lecture hall. she is too much of a feminist and takes herself way to seriously. she also made the course really uninteresting

What a great prof. Dauda is the best I have had. I LUV the theory she pulls into lectures and her gender stuff is really cool. u rock!

Best professor EVERrrrr. Very helpful during her office hours. Probably the best person to ever live ever.

She is not always that exciting, but she is very helpful and does what she can to provide the class with resources and opportunities to do well.

Really nice, helpful teacher. The subject matter is challenging and she demands alot from her students, however, if you do your course work and approach her from assistance it is possible to do really well in her clases.

Very smart and caring teacher. Work hard and you will be rewarded. Had biggest effect on my academic career at UoG. Definitely a great women and professor.

Dauda is such a crazy lady! she made going to politics in first year fun even though it was such a general intro class. I am definitely going to keep taking class with her. She is also extremely helpful and open to lots of visits during office hours.

was a pretty bomb ass class. dauda explains stuff really well, and the few videos she uses are so helpful.

Great Prof. Explains concepts really well in lecture. Reminds me of Angela Lansbury from Bedknobs and Broomsticks!

She really engages her students, demands a lot but is very forgiving and kind why you struggle with her material. Make sure you stay on her good side- she is a nasty enemy, but a wonderful friend, especially to fourth year students. Get on her good side by sympathizing with her love for feminism!

Great class, she made me want to change to a poli-sci major. She was helpful with questions and allowed differed opinion too. I also liked that she gave us what to expect for exams. She can be intimidating but she is friendly. And such a tiny woman too!

Great introductory class. The material is organized and clear. If you take notes, the midterm is easy. A handout is given for the final exam, which is extremely helpful.

very nice professor. helpful during office hours. just a little too feminist, but pretty good lectures. Does class discussions, which helps to understand certain topics

Prof Dauda gave very engaging and enthusiastic lectures. The textbook complemented the the lecture material. I went in with very little knowledge about politics, and learned so much. She has great posted lecture notes, and is VERY helpful during office hours. Although she clearly has feminist views, I found it added to the course in a non-bias way

While she clearly has a passion for what she does, and broadcasts her ideas clearly and well, I can't help but think that she takes a first year introductory course way too seriously and expects far too much from her students. Also, she seems to have very feminist views and focuses on gender far too much, and it really takes away from the class.

She presents lectures very clearly with very detailed summaries put up on webCT usually before the lecture. She encouraged class discussion and had complete control of her class. If you whispered during her class you'd get stared down! Fair marker, and very easily approachable. I hope to have her again.

Great prof, attending her office hours will do wonders for your marks. Midterms and assignments are completely fair, she even gives you the final exam in advance so there are no surprises. I would definitely look for her again when picking my poli sci courses.

Extremely feminist, and forces this views a bit too much.. As an upper year student taking this course, she definitely took it WAY too serious for an introductory course. She is very approachable.

You have to do the readings! In ANY of her classes - from her first year intro pols class to her 3rd year classes. If you do not keep up you are screwed. She is very helpful but will not budge on the syllabus if you have an issue - there's no doing an extra assignment if you do poorly on a midterm or paper.

Incredible prof, she changed the course of my academic career. Do the readings and you'll do fine, she gives exams in advance so you can prepare easily. Very fair, very approachable, and extremely intelligent. Special interest in gender politics, which apparently annoys some... though why, I have no idea.

She really is a great teacher and you can tell she wants her students to succeed. Go to class because she makes a hell of a lot more sense than the text. Plus she's super helpful when it comes to assignments.

Professor Dauda expects a lot of her students so definitely do the readings and put extra effort into your assignments. All in all,I found her to be fair and very helpful. You can tell she wants you to succeed and fully understand the material. Highly recommend her!

Really good prof for a first year class. Wants to see her students do well. Provides final in advance so that students can prepare in advance. Midterm was easy. Is very approachable, either through email or office hours. Lecture material can sometimes be dry but she does a good job presenting it.

Didn't like her in the beginning, but by the end, my mind was changed completely. Print off the lecture slides and write as you go - SO much easier. Go to class, read the text, put in the work on ALL assignments. She is helpful and a little unapproachable, but still nice.

Prof. Dauda is a sweetheart! She cares genuinely about students' success. She is the most approachable and caring professor that I've ever had. Readings are necessary in her 4th year classes, but they're interesting and it pays off since she structures all assignments around the readings. No midterms/exams. Short papers. Presentation, but it's easy

Nice. Funny. Easy-going. Smart. Clear.

Nice and funny and an amazing prof!

To say Dauda is one of the best professors would not do her justice. She is one of the best people I have ever had the honour of knowing. She shaped so many people's academic careers and really defined what university meant for me. I took every class I could with her and I enjoyed them all. Only word of caution is her readings are heavy!

She is amazing.

Prof Dauda is most definitely a sweet woman, one of great character. This leads her to actually care about her students marks. The problem for me, and some other students I spoke with, was that she was unclear at times compared to other political science teachers covering the same topics. Online participation is key to success in this course.

ONLY professor that has 3-4 time slots for office hours. Very helpful with exams & essays. She WANTS you to succeed and will help you get there if you're willing to do the work. She's VERY intelligent and will see through your B.S. She's very successful but treats you like an equal. She's funny, and a great lecturer and takes away the intimidation

Professor Dauda will be one of the very few profs that I will remember 30 years from now. This class was such an incredible opportunity.

Amazing woman and prof!!!! If you need help, don't be afraid to ask! She loves to see her students succeed and keep some peace of mind all in one. LOVE HER!!!

Seminar based class. Participation is very important. She is a hard marker but gives good feedback and is always willing to meet with you and discuss things. Gives lots of guidance throughout the course. Knows what she is talking about it. The material is pretty interesting. Worth it. Learned lots.

I really enjoyed this class; between the content and the breakdown of assessments. It was very hard to do well on certain portions of the course, however, others were fine if you participated and did your work. Prof Dauda is extremely nice and willing to help outside of the classroom, which helps a lot for this course!

Dauda changed my perception of feminism in a very positive way. As one of only 5 men in a lecture of about 100 students she never made me or any of the other male students feel as we were out of place. Dauda also had a great way of explaining concepts you have heard before but from a perspective that makes more sense. I would recommend her courses
