Dagmara is probably the greatest T.A. out there...she's bubbly and helpful and makes even the cruddiest of days wonderful. I will absolutely miss her next year!
I LUV DAGMARAAA!!! She's the BEST!!!
Dagmara is sooo fun, so smart and so helpful... you will do really well if you just do your work...she brings you candy and puts stickers on your assignments too, just in case you feel like takin a trip down elementary memory lane! I bet she is the only TA can say her class had perfect attendance, because everyone came, even on Friday!
Dagmara is the most fun teacher EVER! I would have loved to have had her for all of my classes. She really brings people out of their shells and there are always great conversations in her class. Anything goes with her, and you don't have to hold anything back. She gives students a very comfortable atmosphere to work in! Go for PROFESSOR Dagmara!
Dagmara is the best!:) Everytime a come to her tutorial in a bad mood after all the sciences, and she always makes my day! Friday! I love her:)
Dagmara, Thank you for making every Friday a pleasant one with your cheery attitude and fun, yet smart personality. I truly enjoy coming to class and participating in all the discussions. God put me in the write tutorial and I feel as though I don't want the year to end because I'm having so much fun. You've lost a lot of weight and look great!
Dagmara you are one of a kind! i have never met anyone quite like you (oh and that's a good thing) Your laughter, sense of humour, and positive attitude is what gets me through the week...and our tutorial is a on a friday! lol. Anyway, i wanted to make sure that you got to keep your pepper hehe! Oh and please don't change Dagmara!!
Dagmara is the best T.A EVER. She truly makes everyone’s day. I hope to have her as my T.A again. She is the funniest person I’ve ever met in my life, not only that, she is very helpful, understanding, and caring about her students.
she is so nice and funny as hell...she is so real not bootleg like most teachers keep it up
It's plain and simple, Dagmara is the BEST teacher anyone could ever have!!!!!!
Dagmara is the best TA that I have ever had. Other TA's need to learn from her. I have never met anybody so smiley before!! Thanks for making this year so much more enjoyable! (Btw, Hi Dagmara!)
Great teacher... made it a very enjoyable class. Nothing bad to say about this person.
One of the greatest T.A.'s ever!
I love, love love Dagmara, she is such a good TA, always available (and her daughter is sooo cute). I wanted to stalk her cause i wanted to be in another one of her classes, but we all gotta move on.love u Dagmara, stay sweet and always remember your friend from the hood
i didnt want to take this class, but im glad i did!! shes FANTASTIC and beyond amazing, i know its the start of the semester but none the less, im in love with the course and im in love with her class!!! weeeeeeee!
The pop quizes are a little lame, but she makes up for it with all the candy!!!!!
My first and far most best TA ever!
amazing person. truely caring, truely interesting. and her goal for schools with autistic children is admirable. i look forward to her class. the candy is just a fun bonus.
You Are Great!!! So adorable...keep it up!
Dagmara, you're awesome- keep that in mind over the holidays when you're marking my essay ;) haha *jokes* Have a great holiday! - Kim :) (Friday AM tutorial)
this TA is out of this world! BY FAR the best, THE BEST tutorial leader ever! and I've had plenty too.If you can, get into her class. U will thank urself every time u leave her class with a big smile on ur face and a good feeling deep inside. I feel like a better person from having met Dagmara, she is just so addictive. A++ Friday PM Tutorial rocks
She has too many excuses and never gets work back in time. She has really gone downhill and we still haven't gotten assignments back from last year!!
Very upbeat, always ready to help, very understanding person with many stories. Great T.A!!!!
The best T.A I have ever had, Dagmara is the reason I have not given up on myself. She is the most encouraging, motivating and sincere spirited person I have met, She does not judge you and she always tries to understand what your going through. I am not just glad to have had her as my TA I am glad to have had met her period, shes awsome!
THE BEST T.A!!!!!!! shes sooo helpful, nice, caring, fun, jokes, honest upfront and a smart cookie! tutorials are ALWAYS interesting and upbeat. She is such a great T.A. and you should be GREATFUL if you get her as your tutorial leader :)
OK not bad
Dagmara makes tutorial so fun and entertaining. She is very sweet and approachable. She even took the time to go over each student's essay in class with them which was extremely helpful and appreciated by us. Best TA ever - caring, humourous, enthusiastic, energetic and perky! We all luv ya!
Dagmara makes each and every one of her students feel important and she truly cares about her students. If it wasn't for this wonderful TA I would have dropped out of school. All I have to say is thank you Dagmara! You have helped me more than you even know. Truly the best TA at York, and one in a million personality. :)
She's a great TA and I will definitely miss her next year, she made my first year amazing, and she instills a sense of confidence in all of her students, i hope to have her as a TA once more in university:) thanks Dagmara, your fabulous:)
Dagmara is a great TA. She's very helpful and understanding. It's almost like she's one of us. I've really enjoyed having her as a TA this year. Thanks Dagmara for all that you do and thanks for a wonderful year! :)
Dagmara is the sweetest person I have ever met. Very genuine and honest. Only wishes the best for her students. Always willing to help. She's also very intelligent. Puts things in perspective and makes you think. Students actually WANT to attend her class. You are truly blessed to have her as a TA or professor.
Personable and helpful in understanding course assignments. Lots of 1 on 1 help with essays. This was my 2nd time in the course & I have to say she was a better TA last year. I blame the actual course this year; there was no direction and the course was a joke. Dagmara didn't seem to be enjoying it like last year, and neither were most of us.
Took inclusive education with this Prof last summer. Really knows her stuff, and her passion for kids with disabilities is contagious. Lots of readings and work for a condensed course, but she makes you care about reaching marginalized children. Plus, she brought in cake on her birthday for the whole class!
this prof is great! i truly miss her! she helps us very much to complete our essays and understand the course!
I just finished a course with this Prof as 1 of my Ed electives. I wish she'd teach all of them! I learned more in 4 weeks about working with disabled kids than in 4 years in the Ed program. She made waking up for 8:30 in the morning worth it. A+++++
ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER!!! Best in the Dept!!!
I just saw "Miss Dee" on the picket lines today and it made me realize how much I miss her class. She's a great teacher and I know she misses us as much as we miss her! Hope to see you soon, Dagmara! Stay warm!
This women is hysterical...my stomach would hurt from laughing so much in every tutorial. She is the most sincere and sweetest TA I have ever come across, she also made a horrible and frustrating class bearable. Only thing that drove me nuts is that she is hard to get a hold of ie: doesn't answer emails, other than that Dagmara is one amazing TA.
From the moment she jumped out of her seat, screamed and ran across the room 'cause she thought she heard a mouse, we all loved her! She's so genuine, and you know her number 1 concern is her students. Wish she taught 3311 too but I may just take a sex class to be in her tutorial again next year.
SHE IS AN AMAZING PROF!! I had her for an education elective and she was great. I hate 7-10 classes but I would never mind being in her class. She was energetic and fun all the time. I'm glad I had that experience.
I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!! She's hilarious, she knows her stuff and she tells you exactly what you need to do to ace the course. Best TA I've ever had and one of the most amazing people I've ever met. I would take any class if I knew that she would be teaching it.
Most amazing and down to earth TA you will ever have in your life. She completes your day and makes you pee in your pants with her hilarious random comments! She is amazing and if she was teaching any other class i would take it ! Wonderful person!
She should teach professors how to be professors - not only an amazing teacher but an even more amazing person - she makes your day with her jokes and a way of being entirely her own - I'm on my last year and wish I had met her on my first so I could have followed her around!
Fantastic TA, very helpful, hilarious! This was a tutorial i actually looked forward to attending. Not only a great TA, but a great person as well.
I had her in my first year. She is very nice and is an amazing TA. Indeed, she is probably the best TA that I have ever had. Take her class, you won't regret it!
So sad this course is over! Never had so much fun in a tutorial in my life! Dagmara makes everyone in the room feel welcome & she is so helpful with course content or anything else you want to talk to her about. She is so real and not fake like other TAs. Love her, loved the course, loved Prof Kehoe! Take the course, you won't be sorry!
I am having SOSC 1009 with her right now. She is one of the coolest TA! not only that but one of the best human beings I have ever met! I honestly learned so much in her class! Great Teaching method! loved the documentaries we watched.She makes your day so much better! I wish I have her again! If you take her class you won't regret it. :)
Great TA; would have her again at York U
Hilarious prof. She was my TA for SOSC 2110. Probably was the most entertaining class of my life. However, I am an A student but didn't like her marking that I had to drop the course.But it maybe only the course's marking scheme that wasn't good.Other than that she is very helpful passionate understanding,..she's awesome i never met anyone like her
She gives a good hints about what is going to be on the exams and what is she looking for in the essays. BUT ... she talks a lot about her life and because of that material is not covered enough. But she is still nice tutorial leader
She is an awesome TA and a great person! She talks a lot about her life but that's to demonstrate course material. She makes the course relevant to real life. Tutorials are fun and after a week of horrible classes, her personality makes my day!
She is such a wonderful human being. Only wants the best for her students.If u are struggling in the course she will make herself available for extra help & adjust assignment expectations to make sure they are in line with your needs & accomodations.I loved being in her class. U not only learn the material,u r inspired to reach your best potential.
Dagmara is an awesome TA and overall human being. I found the course material for 3112 very dry and uninteresting, but I enjoyed the tutorial immensely because of Dagmara. She is great with helping her students with the course material and letting them know what should be studied for exams. If you have to take 3112 you want her as your TA.
I had Dagmara for both a lecturer and a TA. She got the opportunity to teach a whole class this year, and I'm very thankful that she did. She's absolutely hilarious, really knows how to engage students, and is never boring. I had to leave York for personal reasons but I really hope I come across her in the future. Just an amazing prof!
If there were Oscars for teaching she should get one! Can turn the worst most boring material into a great lecture. Her positivity and love for her job shines through everything she does. As a TA she is always there for her students. Not just academically but as a friend too. Wish every class I took was with her!
Walking into this woman's class is like taking a deep breath of fresh air! Her humorous approach to teaching makes you forget how dull learning can be in classes at York. She never stops smiling & her happiness is contagious. You can't help but be inspired by her positivity in the face of the cards she's been dealt in life. A+ teacher & human being
She's fantastic
Absolutely amazing! Takes time to get to know each and everyone of her students. She is hilarious and makes you not want to miss a class. She is very clear when explaining what to expect for essays and exams. Would take the class all over again just to have her as a TA or course director. She is a great person. Highly recommended.
Her class was the most fun! I usually don't go to my morning classes but this one was just one that i wouldn't want to miss out.
Dagamara is a good teacher, however, she tends to go off track a great deal, you learn more about her kid than you do about the course readings. The class content is interesting but she does not do much expect for talk about her life, so you won't learn much. I would not take her again as I do not want to waste my money but she is super nice.
I loved being in Dagmara's class. She teaches course content through stories and narratives which helps make the material stick. She gives you exact instructions on what she expects in essays and exams and is always encouraging you to come to her office for extra help. Through the strike this year she was super helpful and supportive.
Great teacher. Tests and essays are hard. Liked her teaching style, very laid back. Told lots of stories that made me remember the material better when it came to quizzes and exams. You rock Dagmara! Don't ever change.
She's such a positive and engaging person. She is always smiling and you can tell she LOVES her job. When your in her class you really believe she cares about your learning and success. She's never boring and its like a good movie, when you sit down and it feels like only 10 minutes have gone by when really its been 2 hours.
She is the embodiment of an inclusive educator. Every teacher should take an example from her and demonstrate their passion for their work the way she does. You are privileged as a pre-service teacher to have learned from and with her!
Love her! She's so helpful! She'll spend hours working with you outside of class to improve your writing. She makes the material come to life in tutorial and teaches you everything you need for essays and exams. I will miss this class so much!
Dagmara is a wonderful person and an excellent teacher. Her energy is enough to engage every student in the class. She is very organized and goes over all important course material. Dagmara will be more than a teacher to you; she will be a motivator, a friend, and, a wonderful example of how every class at York SHOULD be!
Very interesting and engaged as a prof. She uses personal and relevant examples to ensure the material is understood. Dagmara cares about the well being of her students and is easy going. Loved her class, wish it was full year rather than 3 credits. Lots of writing, no final exam, 1 small presentation in small groups.
Best Prof Ever! I love her! She is the kindest lady ever. If you can, take this class!
Dagmara is an amazing professor! She cares so much about her students and inclusive education! TAKE HER CLASS
Dagmara is a fantastic teacher. She makes classes engaging and fun, and prepares you for the tests and exams. She makes the room feel like a family. Love her!
I've taken multiple courses with Dagmara throughout my years at York. Her love of teaching and positive energy and ability to relate to each of her students makes being in her class a pleasure. She makes sure you see your ability the same positive way she does and she makes you feel welcome and valued. A one in a million person and teacher.
My favourite professor at York University!! Her lectures are interesting, fun, encourage class participation, and the slides are so helpful for essays, assignments and exams. She gives a paper with possible exam questions, so she really wants you to do well!! TAs Ann and Samar are great too. Also Prof. Davies! A solid course, with solid teaching!
This woman is a breath of fresh air in a department where it seems most profs have ironically forgotten how to be effective educators. Her classes are a pleasure to attend. You laugh and you learn and your reminded that teaching is a calling. You leave her class inspired and motivated each week.
Amazing TA. Hilarious. Makes me want to go to class. Beyond that, just a great person in general.
One of the best TAs in York. Honestly would love to take another class with her. Definitely Recommended.
The best professor I've had at york by far! she is so caring and understanding, as well as runs her class in a way that is welcoming and makes you want to come to every class
Dagmara is such a sweetheart. She makes lectures very interesting by cracking up random jokes. However, she is not an easy marker, you have to work hard for a good grade.
The best professor I've ever had. Genuinely cares about her students. Definitely recommend taking her courses!
the best prof at york!!! take as many classes with her as you can!
such a sweetheart. really loves her students. her lectures are engaging and if you need any additional help she's always willing to help you succeed. a real gem
Dagmara is such an amazing prof, I would 100% recommend her. She's hilarious and makes me want to every class. She adds some of her personal experiences while teaching the course content and it just makes it so much more interesting. Loved her classes so much.
LITERALLY THE BEST PROF I HAVE EVER HAD! she is so kind and respectful, you can tell that she loves her job and that she genuinely cares about her students. Her assignments are easy and understandable just as long as you pay attention and understand the course materials which shouldn't be difficult at all
Overall great teacher. Courses are an Easy A. Her writing assignments are not essay format, but rather formatted as reflection paper; there are no wrong answers. Would be rated higher if she wasn't so emotional. Her classes feels more like a lesson with my elementary school teacher rather than a University Professor. Also ignores all emails.
Love this class and love Dagmara! I was really scared to start university online this year but this Prof makes a zoom room of hundreds feel like a home where everyone belongs. She is so kind and her lectures are really interesting. She provides opportunities for participation and genuinely listens. She really cares for her students. Love her <3
I absolutely love Dagmara. She is amazing and she makes every student feel so welcomed and like she has been teaching you for years. I would most definitely take a course again with her as my professor
choose your TA carefully one thing I can say is DO NOT TAKE IT WITH KRYSTAL you will regret it no matter how chill the prof may seem, she has her own problems too. she barely has time for students, she doesn't reply to emails, no RUBRIC, so many articles to read, she would go over lecture time, high expectations so think twice before taking
Great course. Interesting content.
She is amazing even like you would not want miss even one class with her. She is understanding and lets us put our point of view on the topic does. She is just amazing.
dagmara is nice when it comes to understanding that covid has taken a toll on many people's mental health. however, she gets carried away very easily and it takes her a long time to explain mediocre topics. does not answer any emails. ive sent 6 follow up emails over the span of 2.5 weeks (the only method of contact for her) and got 0 response.
tough grader, never replies to emails, takes forever to return back graded assessments. For instance, the semester is done, there's only two out of 6 assessments that we've received marks for. She still has not finished marking four things. I JUST WANT MY MARK SO I GRADUATE ON TIME. THANK YOU.
I took 2111 this year with Dagmara as my TA. She did a great job keeping everyone engaged on zoom and gave us lots of opportunities to improve our grades. She teaches a lot of classes so it's hard to catch her on email but she warns you about that. I would take any class she was teaching.
I appreciate this prof very much. I struggled alot this year and her live lectures every Thursday made my week bearable. I looked forward to every class. Today my final grade was posted along with an email from her saying I could still submit a missing assignment to improve my grade. I appreciate her care so much to see all her students succeed.
A really great class, lots of opportunity to participate even in the zoom class. Prof really cares about everyone doing well in the course and was super understanding during the pandemic. Fun assignments and interesting lectures.
Highlight of this whole first year of uni was logging into her lectures every Thursday. Class would be over at 6:30 but most weeks Miss Dagmara stay in the zoom with us for another hour to ask questions or discuss the lecture. She really makes you feel like your success matters to her. She's the GOAT!
I had this professor for SOSC1801 during the f/w 2020-2021 term, and it was an absolute nightmare. Never gave feedback for all the written assignments, had impossibly high standards when marking but never even made them clear to us, its like she purposely gave low grades to keep the average down, never responded to emails. DONT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
I loved the course content in this class and liked that there were lots of small assignments through the year. Dagmara is hard to get a hold of on email but has multiple office hours every week on zoom for you to drop in. She's a really nice lady. I appreciate that she made her class synchronous this year. Would take more classes with her for sure
Dagmara is a great professor and I definitely recommend taking her class. Her lectures are very engaging and enjoyable.
I LOVE Prof. Dagmara as a person, however, I really didn't like the course grading. If you got a nice TA you will LOVE this class but if you don't (like I did) then good luck. They all grade based on different things, some use rubrics and others don't. The course material is interesting and the prof is funny but I hate the TA's A LOT!!!
AMAZING, inspiring, loving, deeply cares about students. Created the most nurturing zoom room live class! I've never seen anything like it. Funny, engaging. Class material was really useful + real-world applicable. Disorganized, posts on eclass late+rarely responds to emails but stays to talk after class. Would LOVE to take another class with her.
Dagmara is an amazing prof and truly cares about her students. She teaches the material with a passion and actually tries to help the students understand. She explains the material really well. However, the TAs mark really hard. if you get a good TA then you will enjoy the course but if you don't then you will hate it. BUT overall prof is amazing.
Dagmara gets carried away so easily. a 30 min long explanation could be summed up in simply 5 mins, yet she keeps on talking about irrelevant content. she loves to talk about her life and is impossible to reach outside of class as she does not respond to any emails, and she does not mark anything. only 2/6 assignments graded after the exam!
Dagmara is a great TA for Comm in everyday life with Prof Kehoe. She goes over lectures and assignments in tutorial really well. I didn't have to watch the lectures because she covered everything that was important and explains it clearly.
I heard great things about this prof from reddit and after our first class today I can say for sure she is �� can't wait for next week already. So kind and funny and the material looks interesting. For term 2 she let's us generate the health Controversies we want her to cover. I feel like first year online will be great thanks to her.
G.O.A.T. This woman is the absolute best professor at York. After sitting thru 2 weeks of new classes this year I miss her so much already. Her lectures are amazing and she's literally the nicest most genuine person. Wish I had all of my classes with her this year.
Great teacher, her class is very manageable and she doesn't bombard you with essays or time-consuming tasks. All long as you do the readings and take notes at the lecture, her class won't be challenging.
Dagmara is a great ta for 2111. She is super supportive of her students and offers lots of opportunities to ask for help after class or in office hours. She goes over the assignment expectations really well in class and you feel like she genuinely wants you to get an A in the class. Really looking forward to in-person classes with her in January.
A good and easy course. Pretty easy assignments and not too many of them. It's really helpful to meet with Dagmara in office hours. She goes over everything with you that you need to do well on the assignments. Gives extensions too. Too bad the class wasn't synchronous as it would have been nice to get to know her better.
I just submitted my midterm for this class and now I have to miss it until January. Awesome first semester, can't wait to see what the next one will be like since we pick the topics we want to study and then she builds term 2 around that. Merry Christmas Miss! See you Jan 10th!
Nothing difficult about this class, it's all straightforward. A good amount of workload for a 3 credit course. Prof is really generous with extensions. The final exam is fair, right out of the lectures. Not easy to get ahold of the Prof on email but lots of office hours even on the weekend. Good choice for an elective.
I love her. I love her class. Best course and prof at York. The end.
Dagmara is an amazing TA for Comm in Everyday Life. She's really positive and supportive and goes out of her way to be helpful with assignments. She gets that we're struggling and she helps in anyway she can. Now that we're back on campus it's nice to meet her in person. Overall she's a great person and teacher.
Awesome class and awesome teacher. Definitely will take other courses with this professor in the future.
Pretty easy course, haven't spent much time on any assignment and didn't get anything below 80 even when i didn't properly read the readings or watch the lectures, very doable to do any big assignment including the final overnight. The only minus is that she never replies to emails, like ever.
Dagmara is a great TA for 2111. She'll spend lots of time outside of class on Zoom to help you do well on assignments. She's really understanding about life. She gives lots of opportunities to hand in work you missed. A great teacher and great person. She made another year on Zoom a lot easier to get through. Have a great summer Miss!
Her lectures are always long winded because she gets carried away too often. She has high expectations for a first year course knowing many in the course who are first years don't have the experience to write good university papers. She does not respond to emails nor provide any feedback on graded assignments. The course content is interesting.
I'm graduating this year & had Dagmara for class 2 years ago. Looking back on 4 years at York I can honestly say that she is one of my standout profs. I remember the community she created in our classroom & genuine caring she gave us students. Her lectures were never dull & the assignments were creative making sure everyone could succeed. A+ person
Dagmara was very funny and you can tell she cares a lot about her students. She even brought us donuts on the last day of class, she is a sweetheart. In terms of work, it is not too bad, she is kind of a tough marker in a sense but if you follow her instructions you'll be fine. Dagmara if ur reading this luv u xoxo
Best course and best prof! I'm waiting to see what she'll be teaching in the fall to take more courses with her. Dagmara is such a caring and supportive person and her lectures are interesting, timely and provoke you to think. You can't go wrong taking a class with her.
Her lectures are great, but your grade basically depends 100% on the TA. As a professor she's fun and engaging but is slow to answer emails and kind of leaves you hanging if you have something urgent.
Best prof in my 3 years at York!
Its the highlight of my week to go to Prof Dagmara's class. She's awesome and the class is super interesting and the assignments aren't too hard.
Such helpful TA, very happy I was in her class.
Best prof. Best class. PERIODT
Nice profes!!!!!!
Honestly most charismatic professor ever, so entertaining and very informative.
As a first-year student, Dagmara has to be the best professor at York. She's caring, always has a smile on her face, and is generally such a great professor. She cares about your mark, unlike most professors. The assignments and exams are super easy! She gives you a study sheet for the midterm and final. I also recommend Kelston Cort as your TA :)
Oh my god!! I've never left reviews, but Dagmara was easily the best prof I had this year! She is the most kind, funny and flexible prof you'll have, she basically hands you the guide to success if you ask for it! If you can, make sure you pick her as your TA as well, tutorials with her were never boring and always informative. Take her class asap!
She has such a kind heart and really wants to see you succeed. She has a clear passion for the course content. She presents multiple angles about difficult issues which then you can take an informed position about. Dagmara is a great professor and amazing human. A one in a million person who makes each of her hundreds of students feel important
Prof Woronko is hands down the best prof at York. The course is so interesting. If you're thinking of going into a health profession this course will open your eyes to positive & negative aspects of biomedicine. Weekly topics are presented from multiple perspectives & the final paper gives free reign. I wish every course was taught by Dagmara
One of the best profs at York.. Would definitely reccomend her class to anyone! Hilarious, caring, and overall teaches in an amazing way!
Dagmara is a character always finds a way to change up her lectures in a way to make them accessible and easy to understand. she is hilarious and loves to insert her personal stories (and celeberty crushes) into lectures whenever possible!
She's super funny, but a hard marker and is very specific with her criteria (that she doesn't share until you've already written the exam). She is super disorganized, doesn't respond to emails very often, doesn't post something until later than promised. This course is very interesting and fun, but I don't recommend if you want an excellent grade.
She teaches a subject I am really not interested in, but her lectures always managed to straddle the line between being very informative and very engaging/fun to listen to, which made it significantly more tolerable for me. She's very personable and approachable, and she really cares about everyone. Overall really really fun professor
She is hilarious and I loved her
I am not a sociology person myself, but this course had inspired me about so many public health issues in society today. Professor Woronko engages all students in the class, she cares about her students, and facilitates discussions in tutorial and lecture. Grading is very subjective however.
I would take any class with Dagmara! Seminars fly by so quickly because of the great convos and interesting content. She is a gem in the university and every course taught by her is amazing. Too bad she doesn't teach them all, ha ha!
SOSC 1801 is seriously the best class I have ever taken. Dagmara is absolutely hilarious, her lectures are very fun to be in, and the assignments and exams are very fair. The only thing is she isn't the best with remembering to post the content or readings. Can make it difficult to do well in this class. Still amazing class though.
If you really want to enjoy a gen ed course and learn useful and fun things, take 1801. Dagmara's lectures are awesome. They make you go home, tell your parents and friends about them, and then have debates around the kitchen table. She is a great lecturer and an even greater person. I'm really glad I chose this course over the other health gen eds
The course is super fun, Dagmara is one of the most joyful professors at York. I had Evan as my TA and he surely made the learning experience even better.
Dagmara is an amazing professor - hilarious, caring, and teaches in an engaging way. The course is super interesting, and unstuck study was a big help for exam prep.
took this last year + always recommend this prof bc going to lecture is so worth it. she is hilarious and inspiring and i loved the topics. 2 readings + video assigned per lecture and exams are 100% writing and i did ok, so make sure you do your homework. my TA was very nice and marks okay, the strike cut out final essay + exam so i got lucky
Prof Woronko is probably the most hilarious professor at YorkU lol. She is also a caring professor and her lectures were always memorable. The grading criteria can be quite vague though, and she also replies to emails very slowly or may not respond (she has many classes). There's also a lot to read, but the content was interesting & informative!
Nicest woman in the whole world. Genuine interest in the course topics and willingness to explain the same concept as many times as you need. Very honest and human.
Most sweetest professor you'll ever meet. extremely caring and understanding with everything if you're struggling/cant do an assignment due to personal struggles/etc. best tutorials i've attended. very smart and clear and perfect. Love you Dagmara
She is a great TA. So passionate about the course materials. She makes you really care about them too. I wish we could have had class in person but each day on Zoom was fun and engaging too. She gives lots of support for assignments and will talk to you after class for as long as you need to ask questions. I'll take more classes with her for sure.
her class is a must take. Absolutely hilarious professor, her lectures are amazing and so easy to pay attention to. The content is amazing, curated, the class and its assessments flow like a finely oiled machine. Get to know your TA, do the readings and you will leave the class with a good grade, new understanding of the world, and great memories.
Dagmara is my favourite professor. she is a hard marker, yet fair. BUT she doesn't respond to emails regardless how many you send/ what the matter is. she'll admit that she's ignoring you in front of the class without any regard which is frustrating. sometimes her behaviour is childish when she's a grown woman and should act like it sadly.
Love this course! Dagmara is so genuine and caring and cracks you up everytime in lecture. The course content is so interesting that you don't want to skip a class. Beyond that she is so caring to all of her students. She will spend hours after class talking to students and helping them with any concern. She really wants everyone to succeed.
Dagmara is wholly unpretentious and down to earth. She does a great job of making her lectures interesting, and is a great person to talk to. However, much course control is in the domain of her TAs, notably what constitutes good work or not. My TA was not great at all, so I had to work very hard to do well. Pick your TA very carefully!
as a student who took sosc 1009 for credit, i was prepared to not read or not paying attention in the class, but in her class if you failed to pay attention, it will be extremely rare. probably the best prof in yorku
Amazing prof, hilarious and great assignments and exams are reasonable (a little hard). But overall really enjoyed taking her class.
