She is a Hardmarker, indeed, and you have to do everything as she wants otherwise... she will cut off your mark... with no mercy... most comment she ever write are "too general, be more specific"
BIAS !!!! HATE HER SO MUCH !!!
The worst ever, very rude, unhelpful, avoid!!!!
vey unclear..very biased..very rude..very hard.. do wtever she says or---no marks..dont understand her mentality..also dont say anything about women, she takes it personally and u get C even if ur presentatin is the best. thts wt happened to me..****
i don't know what's wrong with her? in the beginning of the semester i used to think she was a hard marker as the term goes by i figure out that she is so biased . my overall grade change significancly by 10 percent although i did well in final exam
hard---rude---bias
she is not a honest woman. at the end of the final test, she changed some students' mark in order to make everybody has higher marks. she also has bias of students.
i give her a big fat ZERO... she is bias... the stupidest professor i have never met...
bias, stupid

SHE IS SOOOOOOOOO BAD. I HATE HER. EVERYONE HATE HER IN MY CLASS. STUPID and BIAS
terrible, don't want talk about her anymore
Midterm:B+,Final:A Grade:C What else i can say she is just terrible.Very bias,be carefull people.
She is soooo BIAS, she alwyas prefer her favourite students to answer her questions. Kinda strict on marking and assignments. But she is a talented lady who knows very well about arts.
i would say she is neutral to me, not that biased as people are saying...but not approachable at all because you are not gonna learn anything from this course afterwards :( except for the research eassy (it is worth it)Just wasting $$$ for such a mandatory course for int'l students. I did get an A from her...I'd better thank her for that !
very bad
Good teacher; really learned a lot.
Should not be teaching. Ever.
SHE IS HORRIBLE! She doesn't give clear examples, or explanations for ANYTHING! Ask her to explain why your answer was incorrect - goodluck gettin a straight answer. I haVE no idea how she got a phd, it is beyond me. DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASS WITH HER! YOU WILL waste your time & money; unless of course you can get in her head&see the answers she wants.
Hard work but worth it!
Great class!
I LEARNED A LOT AND HAD FUN!
For some she is bad and her course is difficult but for others it's exactly the opposite.My advice is-do your homeworks and readings on time and participate as much as you can in her class you will be able to get a good mark.I got A just because I did those stuff and I didn't put much effort....if you are quite and don't participate-she will be ba
I LEARNED SO MUCH. GREAT PROF!
It was a great summer course, I had so much fun. She seems to be a nice person but I am telling U, U should do the works otherwise be ready for the consequences, the only bad thing about her is that she is not very fair in marking.
Great experiences
GREAT PROF!
She make us work hard but good results. Learn a lot.
Work hard and she gives good mark. Don't like lazy students.
She's one of those teachers who seem to get their kicks belittling their students. If you're reading this Courtney, get over yourself and try actually teaching rather than tearing down students to build up your pathetic little ego. And try dressing like an adult instead of a middle aged woman trying to look like a cool 20 year old girl.
TOUGH BUT FAIR
She gave me a A on the midterm even I was not sure of answers.
I recomend you take this course from Courtney. She's very fair and gives good marks.
She helped me a lot and gave me a good reference letter.
Very helpful. Now I know how to write essays. It helps a lot in other courses.
I really learn a lot in this class. Courtney helps me learn how to read carefuly and put it in my own words.
I didnt think that Canada was so interesting but Courtney gives a good idea about it.
Courtney is basically good teacher and good person. I really like this course because she explain things very well.
The story Open Secret was really complicated and I felt confused. Courtney explained really well and so its good that I can understand better now.
Professer Fairweather is really enthusiastic about teaching and Canada. She makes it fun to learn about.
My friend told me to take Courtneys class and I am so glad. She is really helpful and nice.
I am really glad I took this course from Courtney. Now I know how to write and make specific examples.
I had a fun year and the final exam was not really hard. Basically I can say that you will enjoy this course with Courtney
I am new in Canada in September and I am really glad that Courtney is my teacher. She understands students.
Little hard marker but I learn a lot from Courtney. Good teacher
Its really lucky to get Courtney for teachers. She answers email questions really fast & helpful.
Don't recommend this class at all!
GREAT CLASS! GREAT TEACHER!
Wow! I didnt think Id get such a good grade! Really good teacher!
You can learn really a lot if you take this course from Courtney. I recommend her!
My English is really bad and Courtny help me lot. I really glad I have good profeser.
Courtney is really good teacher. You should take her course.
Great prof! Take her course & for sure you learn a lot.
IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE THIS COURSE THEN YOU SHOULD TRY FOR COURTNEYS CLASS. WE HAD A LOT OF FUN.
Cortney is a raelly good teacher and I recomend that you should take this course with her.
Courtney is really help me a lot and you can take her course and like it.
Courtney is basically very kind person and helps students a lot. You should take her course.
I learned so much about Canada and Courtney made me feel not so worried in a new country.
WOW! You should try to get in her class because she really helps a lot and i'm really glad she teaches how to write good essay.
I could not pass the course if Courtney didnt' help me so much. Very nice person.
Wow! What surprise that Canada is very interesting.
I learn a lot about multiculturalism. Very interesting.
She is very fair and gives good grades. But if you are academic dishonesty she will catch you.
You can get a really good mark if you always go to the class. But don't miss because she asks questions from the class in the exam.
At the beginning its like she is hard but she's really, really nice.
Very kind, considerate, respects her students and expects respect in return. Doesn't allow baseball hats, cell phones, people resting their feet on the seat in front of them, late comers. Gives full attention and expects the same from her students. In addition, very stylish, elegant, and beautiful. Great teacher when students behave accordingly.
She is strict about cell phones and stuff but she teaches how to write. You should take her course!
Great
She acts nice but she likes certain students. If you start to get B or B+, that means she just does not like you. You will find a lot of people getting A or A+ in the course just for being a friend with her. If you get into any type of argument, your grades will get lower.
GREAT! INTERESTING!
She is very interesting and tells you about different people in Canada in a very friendly way. It is an interesting class.
Very boring class.
Don't take her course, If you want get high marks. she never give high marks.
She is organized in her lectures and her assignments are pretty straightforward. Take notes of whatever she mentions in class. She grades students on participation too (15%). So, make an effort to participate in class daily. Her exams are based on lecture material covered in class. So, attending class is very important.
Very interesting person and class is always interesting too.
She marks too hard for the quality of her classes and her overall knowledge as an ESL instructor is poor. Her explanations are vague, her spelling terrible and she deducts marks for corrections that people at the writing centre make on your essays. Her comments will not help you at all. She gives you whatever grade she wants to. HORRIBLE!!!
The instructor focused more on criticising students than helping them to learn and succeed. Thus, I was not at all satisfied with her approach to treating students, particularly those who did not speak English as their mother tongue; and/ or those who did not have a background in learning English especially with resect to writing.
A terrible instructor and a trough marker.
Her way or the highway; if a students thinks differently from her, she will automatically put him in lower list with bad marks. Not objective at all.
