This lady should be stripped off her teaching license. Keep on reading the slides during lecture and make 75% of the class fall asleep. If you are unlucky enough to have her, treat her nicely and pretend to respect her (admittedly low) intelligence. And make sure you answer her dead-easy questions too. If so, you will get an A without much trouble.

No one would take her class if she wasn't the only prof that taught it. She is very unclear about her expectations, and you have to ask her the same thing several time if you want a semi-clear answer. The only good side to this course is that you don't need the textbook and there is no final exam, but the business case is long and kinda tough.

she gives vague non-answers and refuses to clarify. Her assignments read like they were written by elementary school children. It is impossible to give her what she wants because she won't tell you. My brain hurts when she speaks. I have no idea how she became a professor, or how she keeps her job. Avoid her at all costs!!!!!

the only good thing about this course is that i didn't fail (just barely) and I hopefully will never have to deal with this prof ever again! I have a A- average and this prof gave ME a D-. I have never hated a professor so much! she should not be teaching period! DO NOT TAKE ANY COURSE WITH THIS PROFESSOR IF YOU CAN HELP IT! SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People I think at the salary range of ($117514.80) she would be getting more attention from getting the course material prepared. Although who would have known.

She is the worst professor I have ever had. I have had her twice. The first time was for a really important course. Now I am screwed for the course that relied on her course to teach me something. "If you can't do something, teach it" holds true to her. Well by that logic she should be teaching people how to teach.

She is one of the best Prof. in Ryerson for ITM410. I am surprised how students have written negative comments about her here and it can be misleading to the students look for information about her , she is not all that bad as may have commented here and going to the class with negative opinion or skipping the lecture or labs doesn?t help to do

After the mid-term bomb dropped, people were left decapitated... legs, arms, feet gone! I found this website a bit too late. Why?!?! Be nice to her and STUDY real hard, even if she doesn't tell you to. Get a jump on the BCR, and you'll be alright.

I liked this prof. from day one. She has a good sense of humour and her lecture is interesting and clear to follow. Her tests are based on what she talks about in class and powerpoint slides. I never bought the book and ended up with a "B" in the course. Final report is a huge amount of work, do it early as possible, takes a lot of time!

I was happy with this prof. I failed the mid-term by 2 marks and still managed to get a final grade of "B". You can get perfect on the labs and powerpoint presentations these marks will save you if you don't do so well on the tests. Make sure you do well on final report all those marks add up as the tests are not easy. Study hard from text!

Terrible prof, doesn't know how to teach. You're best off buying the textbook and studying from that to pass the midterms but you still gotta show up for a full 3 hour class to do a presentation and lab which is complete bull and a waste of time since she doesn't teach you anything. Do not take this.

Out of all the profs I ever had she is the WORST prof ever. Completely unorganized and never prepares for lectures. You are not going to learn anything from her. She lost my assignments and can't answer any questions. You will deeply regret if you take her. Doesn't follow any schedule and it is impossible to know what she wants.

Worst experience ever. Avoid having her. "Teaches" way behind schedule. Due dates cant be on weekly/final assignments ANYWHERE (on the assignment itself/blackboard). Doesn't reply emails. Teaches content that doesn't even relate to the chapters.

Chauncey, not a bad prof if you go to her class. Shes not a good communicator of emails however so that is the only problem. To succeed: you MUST attend all classes listen to what she says, GO BEYOND her expectations so if she wants 2 pages write 10

The absolute worst profs I've seen/heard of in TRSM were all teaching 410, John Peco being the only exception. This prof is an ITM legend: Doesn't use blackboard, written instructions for assignments are incomplete, overall instructions are deceptive as hell. Passing will feel like a fluke. This lady and Helen Cheng should not be teaching at all.

WORST PROF EVER!!! Seriously, she struggles to read off the lecture slides. If you want to get good grade in her class, write more quantity over quality. BS your way around. Ask her simplest of questions which she knows how to answer, and you probably already know the answer to. She will feel smart answering it.

Horrible prof, if you have a question and ask she will reply back with, "Well, what do you think?" OR "Use google, that's what it's there for." Was the prof that was on youtube where student stood up to her for teaching badly & James Norrie had to come in and quiet everyone. Norrie made all students sign contract for 5% bonus marks to midterm.

You will believe it when you see it! She cannot answer any question, because she does not understand or know anything! Have no idea how can she teach ITM courses if she has PHD in library science and bachelor in Biology... Only Ryerson University can hire a prof like her. Worst "professor" I'v ever had! She makes 125 000 a year (see sunshine list)!

I'd have to say that the quizzes and assignments were pretty fair BUT she is very unclear and she doesn't know her stuff. Her lectures are boring and waking up at 8am wasn't worth it. You don't even need to show up unless there's a pop quiz. Just a heads up, your textbook will be your go-to throughout the semester..

I went into this class expecting the worst but surprisingly this class wasn't bad at all. She told us when we had a pop quiz (to bring a pencil) and her online quizzes and pop quizzes pretty much made up the final exam. She's not helpful but the class itself is very easy with her.

So, as you may see, many people didn't like this prof very much. I personally thought she's a good prof because she explained every single term you needed to know. The textbook is pretty helpful but it's not really used in class. Her quizzes were straight forward as well. I suggest you take this class if you are willing to read from the text aswell

One of the dullest teachers I've ever had. The first lecture has a packed class then they disappear the next lecture. Just show up for quizzes and leave. A pretty nice lady who has good intentions. You'd think though that an ITM professor would know how to work a computer.

Well, she isnt that bad of a professor. When I saw her on my time table I was grieving. Her lectures are very very boring and impossible to pay attention in. Laab is ridiculously easy. Everything she does is straight out of the book so dont worry. If you go talk to her, she's a very sweet professor, very easy to talk to and also very polite.

I had her class 20 years ago.. I did ok, but it had little to do with this professor. She did not stay focused on her subject matter during lectures, leaving us confused as to what to expect on the tests. Passing the midterm depended on who you knew taking the same class taught by the other professors. No Change in 20 years? Disappointing.
