If you ask "What's 2+2?" Her answer is 3
Horrible prof.... the ABSOLUTE worst.....
Run while you can
nice person, but could teach if her life depended on it
ask me questions...i'll just repeat what I said...with different words
no speak english
SYSTEMS, SYSTEMS, and even more SYSTEMS
No teaching ability and a poor example for students
OK, uh, today, uh, class, we're goin' to be talkin' bout how, uh I'm an idiot!
Well, i don't think she knows what she's talkin about...
When she doesn't know what to say she says Any Questions?
Why should I adjust my thinking to yours, you should be adjusting to my thinkin
You can't tell what it is she wants from you and she doesn't make it clear.
HORRID!! Cant teach then insults students when you ask a question BEWARE!!!

RUN RUN RUN.... AVOID NOT MATTER WHAT!!!
GET OUT OF HER CLASS...DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!!
Worst prof I ever had, avoid...!!
run and don't look back this woman doesn't know what she's talking about.
Just because she's a doctor with lots of lawyers, doesn't make her a good professor!
I would give her a -500 if they had a score that low...
She's the worst prof EVER!!!!! She can't even make a complete sentence. Her classes are a huge waste of time!
how do you spell Compatible? Ya yutz...
This prof should take up another profession. She is the worst teacher even for a high school. I wonder if she bought her degrees from the internet. She has no knowledge about the subject and is very unclear about the course material. Please avoide HER!!!!
Worst Prof in the entire world (including grade schools, devry and 3rd world countries). If you absolutely can't change into another class then don't go to her class because you feel like killing yourself after each one and going hurts you for the exam.
Hard to follow and boring lectures, since she makes up every word as she teaches lectures. She is extremely weak as a professor as she has 95% of all her students preparing appeals this semester due to her false preparation for final exams. Drop clas ASAP
sucks big time. makes me wanna drop the course and do it over again. id rather do itm700 over again 4 times than do one more course with her.
Hard to understand her lecture. Very disorganized in course material (not know the chapters on the test, leaves loose copies of midterms so students cheat on the identical questions next semester). Tests repeat the text book.
She is by far the most hurting teacher ever. She had the uncanny ability to drive people to the brink of suicide, myself included.
The worst prof I have ever had.
I've ust been asked by Chauncey where is W372.... What worries me more than being in her class is her coming to ask me where HER own class is.
Drop the class NOW!!!

Worst Prof in the entire world (including grade schools, devry and 3rd world countries). If you absolutely can't change into another class then don't go to her class because you feel like killing yourself ***VERY WELL SAID!!!!!!***
boooring.....i recommend a trip to oakham house before attending one of her lectures
Accusses student of surfing online when they are taking notes. Will insult you if you talk to her after class. Very stubborn teacher!!
Just disgraceful.
She have her own marking scheme. Her style of teaching is disgusting!
An absolute idiot... avoid at all costs...
oh god...you can learn more from a doorknob than her.
By far one of my worst experiences at Rye. Drop the class asap! She is horrible and has tunnel vision. It's her way or no way. Brutal teacher omg i cannot stress enough what a horrible person she is.
DO NOT take this course with her. She'll put you to sleep during her lectures - it's something about the way she talks, monotone? I dunno.... but to top it off she's a hard marker when it comes to the assignment. Good luck if you get her!
The dame's got "issues", .. mahn!
she cant link her sentences together properly
Spare your sanity. This lady does nothing but read the slides. She gets a 0 in communication skills. Also useless with technology (including mice). What a waste of time and money, jeez!
suxs, dun take this class, unless u ave to.
some people just don't have the teaching ability in them... and she definitely does not. all she does is read slides and searches them for answers when she can't answer your question. you're better off reading the textbook by yourself. it's clearer and less irritating.
take this advice, Run. whatever u do, do not take this course with this teacher. She is the lamest excuse for a prof... she knows jack!! and treats her students very very badly... again RUN!!
You will pass the course only if you learn the study materials yourself.
worst prof i have ever had at ryerson, and ive had my share of bad profs. her material and how she presents it is dryer than the arabian desserts. dont know what the board was thinking when she bacame part of the faculty. has a tendency to over emphasize some words, i dont konw y? final thought, switch ur prof, if you dont then i warned you.
she is highly educated. BUT that has nothing to do with how she teaches, which is by far the worst ever. Boring classes, her exams are fair, although this years final was really difficult, only because she added a finance question in, and most of the material she did not teach. dont take it w/her.
Great class, because there was no point in going to class. Went to perhaps 3-5 classes all year, her lectures are very boring and all off of powerpoint. Study on your own, and enjoy time away from her class.
Don't know where to begin she does not reply to emails, her lectures are more boring then anything that I can imagine to date. Be prepared to be in vegetated state when in her lectures. Tests are fair, and inclass assigments are alright BUT BEWARE she is a GPA killer for people who don't participate which is what ur gonna do in a dull class likethi
The only reason WHY NO ONE LIKES DATABASE! Be prepared to bore urself to death when u choose her class...not clear and will always hear "any comments, any questions" and she cant even answer any of them....sigh...waste of time and energy
Better than most profs @ York(Itec) prog. Prof.Chauncey actually goes over the important things in the course. Offered great help during office hours plus easy assignments/tests/exam. Past students just complain bcuz they didn't do well and never seeked help; unfortunately, she does not put up with suck-ups (to change grades).Welcome to university.
she is very conceptual, cannot connect to students, and does not understand questions very well.
Bring a pillow to her class. I'm falling asleep right now. Even an XL caffeinated drink will not put off the inevitable, you will be comatose by the end of lecture.
she's boring! That's for sure. Also, she can't teach. She just reads from the powerpoint and ask the class "do you have any questions" like at the end of every slides haha. Also, if the class does good for the midterm, she will try to give the class a harder exam (which she did). Just skip her class and read the book!
"Any questions, any comments" Thats all I learned from this 410 course she is teaching. Also, She doesn't answer your question clearly and she doesn't follow the book. Morever, She doesn't give out instruction clearly as well, even with the use of BB. Hence...do not choose the course she teaches...you will learn nothing from it.
Never had a teacher like her before in the history of my life... she is as useful as the as a penny in your pocket which can get u nothing... No need to ever come to class as she only says 4 words " Any questions, Any Comments !! ".. She doesn't follow the course outline and lags behind too much ... overall she is the most useless prof.
No Comments
Do yourself a favour, DO NOT take any of her classes, as you will not learn anything useful. She's very unclear about her instructions for assignments (i.e. you have to "guess" what she wants because she doesn't tell you) and she does not answer questions properly --if at all. She's also very rude, and unapproachable.
Someone PLEASE push this woman in front of a train, bus, or any other large moving object. Don't even bother going to lecture, you'll probably end up dumber than if you just read the material yourself. Nothing actually covered in class is on the exam anyways. How can this woman still have a job?
Worst Midterm Ever. Worst Prof Ever. Didnt have to be as hard as it was, wow. Studying for this midterm will barely help at all. The info you think will be on there will have little to no emphasis(ie. SCM). She clearly says certain things won't be on there but they magically appear. All she says in her lectures, "Any questions, any comments."
The only reason she gets 1 for anything in my ratings is because it won't let me give a 0. Terrible. Unorganized. Told us what we needed and didn't need to know for the midterm, but I guess she lied. Not only has this prof stressed me, but also wasted my time and money. If I need to take this course next year, that's a year of life and money gone.
One thing. Can someone tell her to stop being arrogant to her students!!!
No Comments
Carol would probably be better off teaching a PLM 100 after those exquisite plumbing stories in class. She really got a round of applause when she unplugged that toilet on one of her vacations. Too bad all she gets in ITM410 is students standing up in the middle of class yelling at her and telling her she can't teach, and boy are they right.
She is the worst teacher ever. This is the second class I have had with her. Most of her classes are offered at night through the CE... do it if you want a good grade. The only point of going to this class was seeing Marco blow up at her the other week :D
Decided to drop the class, despite getting a reasonably good mark on the mid-term. The class was creating too much unnecesarry stress and I felt I was not learning what I needed to. I was also sick of tolerating a teaching style that involved constant disorganization, rudeness and chaos. What a waste of time, money and mental energy.
HORRIBLE Professor. She does not know the course material, her lectures are loosely based on the course text and outline, and she is extremely disorganized. Avoid this professor at all costs, switch you major or school if necessary.
All I can say is that she has improved and looks like she's trying harder to teach students now. Her ITM410 midterm for Winter 2007 was FAIR, perhaps a bit on the easier side. You must attend her classes if you want to know what to do for each assignment and she likes to make full use of each class.
Not a very good teacher, very disorganized, assignments are not explained well, and she doesn't fully understand the material.
Very useless professor and obviously does not know her material. It is a shame that she had to teach such an important course (ITM410). I did not learn a thing because of the disorganization.
Everyone slams Chauncey but if you attend class and pay attention to her instructions you can do well with little to no effort. Subject matter can be boring. Talk to her if you're confused and she'll do her best to clarify. Ask lots of questions regarding assignments and you'll get better grades, speak up in class and you'll do alright.
Stay away from her.
She is the worst teacher.Very disorganized & rude & ignorant towards students. Seems as if she doesn't know the material herself. Theres been a few times where shes been stumped by students and couldn't answer simple questions. Does not seem like she likes to help. Her favourite saying is "ITS NOT MY JOB TO.." & "U've got some catching up to do."
She isnt all that bad. She can be rude or get annoyed quickly when students dont clearly read whats posted on blackboard, but wouldnt we all? Getting a good mark in her class is simple. Show up so you can write the 2 pop quizzes, do the small weekly assignments, and write up your final report which uses most of your weekly assignments anyway.
Even after hearing all the bad things about her and after all the bad things i've read about her on this site, I tried to enter this class with an open mind. It was all downhill from there. She is unable to provide any insight, pop quizzes cover material not yet covered, and she does not explain what is necessary to complete any assignments. Waste.
Worst prof ever, think she would have learned her listen after getting in trouble with the director. THINK AGAIN. She STILL cannot teach, she doesn't read your emails, I got DENIED to see her in hours. She teaches you irrelevant stuff, you're only going to get screwed later in other courses that requires BPR.
she is not qualified to teach these courses that she's currently teacher. She should not be a teacher either. she should go back to her old career or something. I am disappointed that Ryerson hired her. Even if i did well on her tests, the education from her is not worth it. The suppression, stress, confusion i felt was not worth it, but i madeitby
professor is not good enough to teach this course.she is hard with marking, explaining her assignments and her course meterial doesnt meet university academic standards just a quick tip if you have no way out except taking this course from her then always be nice to her and show her that you are learning alot from her course.
do not take this or i would say anyother course from her.she doesnt teach at all and she marked like she is the best prof of the university and its all student fault if they are not doing well in the course.worse teacher ever
Typical class = 1/3 repetitive presentations, 1/3 powerpoint slide reading with little elaboration 1/3 lab work where she is of little to no help. Tests barely reflect lecture and are clearly pulled from textbook database. Better learning can be achieved from simply reading the textbook. She is useless.
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.
Unfortunately what everyone says here is true, she is terrible, she may be smart (PhD) but she cannot teach, rather express what she knows during class. Hard marker, doesn't understand in depth what she is teaching, i didn't believe all the hype but i've been through it now.. if you can take it with someone else.
This is practically the first time I have been penalized (both academically and mentally) for trying to think constructively in a course. Her course materials are pretty much low quality recycled material from other courses, doesn't understand what she teaches, and worst of all rude/degrading at a personal level. Try really hard to avoid her.
She is a terrible teacher with little to no social skills. Why is Ryerson paying this prof. Can they not find someone with some course material knowledge. Or at least a decent individual.
2 classes w/ her this year. She's not a bad person, but she's is a pretty bad teacher. Her linguistic skills leave something to be desired, her courses are poorly planned, she is a slow marker, and gives unreasonable deadlines. You can get an A if you're willing to put in a lot of work and effort.
Worst professor ever encountered. Vague instructions that she will NOT clarify. Course material is irrelevant to the textbook. Parts of the test are from the text, which she does not teach at all. When asked for verify instructions, she will not answer and respond in a condescending manner. I have never disliked a prof until her.
worst thing about this prof is how absolutly clueless she is about her own idiocy and inablity to teach. avoid at all cost
Knows absolutely nothing. Just makes students present for the first hour of each class, then rambles on about terrible slides for the second hour, then holds a mandatory and useless lab for the third hour.
she was the worst! She could not even form sentances properly. I hated this prof! Run away as fast as you can! My whole class was in agreement about how the class and the teacher were both frustrating and useless!
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.
Avoid with all your power. Will ruin you.
Simply put... the worst teach ever in history! I would say avoid at all cost, but that isn't possible. Make peace with God.
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!
Now that I'm in ITM 800, the stuffs that she supposed to teach but didn't really come back and bite you in the a**. She is ridiculously easy if you make friend with her. Stay after class, put a good show for her. She likes it.
Chauncey was absolutely terrible at what she did, and still is.
Course outline doesnt contain phone#, email, prof name, # of assignments is inaccurate(said 4,but 10). 45 hours spent on weekly assignments, 20 hours on a report paper, exam was a week early covering less chapters; no notice through email or course outline of change... teaches nothing in class ; 66% of class does nothing(stdnt prsnttions+lab) bware
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.
The worst. Pulls notes out of nowhere and is the most unorganized professor ever. Doesn't even know how to use Word let alone teach anything about ERP. Holds extreme grudges and loses your lab marks. Avoid at all costs.
At least she passed me for ITM 410. She is quite vague and her lectures are very boring. Just read the textbook instead. Her tests/marking is fair. Overall...she's bearable.
very bad prof... all she does is lecture but her schedule is very messed up. All she taught for 6 weeks is just 2 chapters!!!
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.
Worst professor I have ever had. She can't answer questions, her lectures have nothing to do with the book, and she is completely incoherent.
No matter how smart you are (3.5gpa) she does not know how to mark. People that gave the wrong answers get perfect while the right answers are found to be incorrect. Please stay away from this prof..she really is ignorant and lives up to everything you heard about her
She only taught 10 pages of the book for half the semester. She made a girl cry on the final project and though i pity her sick mother don't EMO on me in the class.
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)!
She has no knowledge on the subject, no clarity, lectures are useless, marking is awful (NO FEEDBACK), we dont know what we did wrong! Guidelines for final project very vague, since she doesnt give feedback we dont know how to fix our problems!
She was so bad I had to drop her class. Now I'm taking it in the summer and I have 0 problems. Strange thing, I hardly even recognise that it is the same class, which is scary, when the heck was she teaching us? Worst part, wasted $800.
AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE! only take this class if you are both stupid and very lucky..you might just end up with an A+ ...ppl like me (gpa 3.4) avoid her at all costs or your gpa will go down!!
No IT knowledge and it was evident she had no IT background before reading the other comments :(
When asked a question she goes back to the slide and reads it off the slide. No clarification. Waste of time going to this class.
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..
pop quizzes are fair, hint do the online quiz before you do the pop quizzes you will know when the quiz is( bring a pencil) will be on blackboard. Dont ask questions you will be more confused after.
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.
I only went to this class once and ended up with an A. The course material is really dry but everything is literally straight from the textbook. The final exam was super easy.
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.
lol, just lol.
I learnt everything from the book. She's useless. Do yourself a favour and ask a friend to check and see if there's a surprise quiz. If not, don't bother and study from the textbook/powerpoints because she's useless. Absolutely useless.
Does not provide clarity throughout the course, learn everything yourself from the textbook. My advice AVOID, AVOID, AVOID.
Very hard to understand her. Learn everything from textbook. Overall class is really boring. I dont take her class.
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.
