Very good instructor. Encourages students to think and participate, not just read out of the text. She is very fair and flexible; good sense of humor. She prepares students well for exams. Great instructor overall. If you din't do well, you didn't put enough work, effort, or time into your own education.

She was great! And halarious! She really respects her students and expects a lot from them. She posted all her notes on blackbaord, which was extremely helpful and made studying much less stressful! This probably was the hardest class I had last year but I still got a good mark. If you put in the effort, this class will be fun!

She was amazingly helpful! She couldn't have given a clearer guideline for the essays, and I followed it and got a really good mark! She doesn't MAKE you do weekly summaries, but they are optional, and helpful! Class was fun too! If you follow her advice and hints you'll do fine. I really enjoyed Elizabeth as a professor!

Great personality and teaching style. If u enjoy learning about humanity take this class! I found it to be very enlightening and she is enthusiastic. I walked away from this class with a new view of the world morally and politically. She wants you to well, gives u all the tools,even essay writing workshop which is not her responsibility.

Great class, everyone whom I spoke with enjoyed it and appreciated her clarity and effort. No other instructer put as much effort into making sure we understood the material. Clear guides and notes for everything, even essay writing which she gave us a month to complete. some students struggled but not because of her, maybe it was the concepts

She is very clear and makes theories relevant. with everything she gives u to succeed it is not surprising that she expects u to do well and her marking isn't as bad as people say at all. I enjoyed this class very much and reccomend it to anyone

Elizabeth is an excellent professor. She is able to provide examples that are relevant and presents material in a way that students can relate to. People who say the class is difficult either aren't reading the assigned sections, coming to class or are not engaged. She takes the time to help, offer suggestions. GO TO CLASS and you will do well.

Knows her stuff, makes her expectations for assignments and papers clear. Teaching style is rather straight forward, she is always willing to talk after class or during office hours. Be prepared to get pushed in terms of time and work invested, as she expects a lot from a 100 level course. Polish submissions, marks hard. Overall great professor.

I think that she is awesome. Class was interesting and relevant. She provides guidelines for what is expected. She is not a hard marker if you follow her explicit guidelines... She made it apparent what was going to be tested, which is nice too. I would take another class from her.

Loved this class!!! Elizabeth is such an awesome and funny professor and I really want to take another class with her. VERY fair marker and is clear on her expectations. Midterm and Final took a long time to write but were VERY easy as long as you were paying attention in class! Attendance is mandatory, but she will make you WANT to come to class!!

I'm completely baffled by some comments. When she gives the stats for how well people did on assignments, a HUGE portion of the class gets B & higher. There are NO surprises on the exams-she makes study guides and basically gives questions right off of them. She posts notes, and makes dense material interesting and comprehensible. Best prof I have.

It's sad that some intro students don't appreciate how straightforward Elizabeth is. In all my other classes (and I am an Engl major and poli minor) no professor was as explicit. I followed it and got an A+ on the paper, good marks are possible if you actually listen to her!

She is just fantastic. Best course I've taken in 4 years. It changed the way I think about everything. Workload is really light, and she sets it up so you can succeed if you read, show up, and pay attention.

Very fair teacher, make sure you do the readings and you'll be fine. Even just use Sparknotes and you'll get by if you attend class. She was always very welcoming and quite funny too! My favorite university prof

I thought Elizabeth was one of the best teachers, that I've had, a difficult marker, but one that explained what you got wrong, and what you could do to improve very well. She was well-versed in her knowledge, and challenged us to learn.

Great Prof! Challenging but teaches material very clearly.

Wanted to drop it before starting because of bad phil experience last semester. Glad I didn't. She's very polite and helpful and gives lots of material to help with course. She makes it very interesting and encourages class discussions! Great notes on blackboard, good study guides, no surprises on exams. Very fair marker! Definitely recommend her!

I loved Elizabeth. I did not really like the course itself, but you can tell that she really wanted you to do well, and she was just the coolest, and nicest person ever. If I had any further interest in Philosophy I would for sure take another one of her classes.

I love her. Panasiuk is cool, interesting, eccentric, witty, and is passionate about philosophy. Fair marker, who sets out clear expectations. She also genuinely cares about students as people. One of my favourite profs ever.

Awesome teacher. Very clear about expectations and easy marker. Also her lectures are hilarious.

Best lecturer I've had at MacEwan to date. Uses PowerPoints for every class but doesn't rely heavily on them. Lots of class discussion made for lots of interaction. Has a comedy club atmosphere yet professional. Hardly used the textbook at all, but she does a great job of explaining concepts. Gorgeous. Only downside is she's a difficult marker.

I am a student at a different college, and this class was harder than I expected: the course workload was very light, but she didn't grade any easier than other profs I've had. I got an A- and I didn't do any of the readings plus did the essay/assignment a few hours before they were due. She is a really good professor and I enjoyed her personality.

She is amazing. My favorite teacher. She is so subtely funny and makes class so entertaining. She is so smart and uses the most relatable examples to explain pretty complex concepts. She is the type of prof that will stay after class to talk to you about the lecture. She's kind of eccentric but in a really good way. Not to mention super adorable.

She is very kind, helpful and funny. Exam can be a bit rough, but mangeable.

I had Elizabeth every morning, 3 hours, for 3 weeks. She made the 3 hours fly by. She's hilarious and entertaining and makes learning fun. However, if you're taking this class thinking it's going to be easy, or a GPA booster, don't. Elizabeth is very laid back when she teaches but her exams are tough and she's excedingly specific in what she wants.

She was so helpful and funny. Her lectures were amaking. Going into Phil I didn't know what to expect. I wasn't interested in tht course itself but Elizabeth really changed that! If you put i an effort you will do well

Elizabeth is a great professor. She is so helpful and hilarious As long as you put in the work you will do well. I wading her office hours a lot and she helped me and walked me through everything. Great prof!!

Made me love philosophy and going to class! Very interesting and funny lectures. I would highly recommend!

Elizabeth is incredibly funny and laid back, and she's great at keeping the class engaged. Philosophy is pretty hard but she really helps you understand what philosopher's argue.

I found Elizabeth to be good and being marked on only 4 things was great. Everyone has posted about how you have to do the readings but her lectures explain the readings, so I didn't read one thing and I did good. Go to class because she adds on from the powerpoint and if you do that you'll be fine

She always cracks jokes during her lectures and tries to make these ancient philosophical theories relatable to our everyday life. Very helpful and is always willing to answer any questions. Very understanding. Posts power points online but I recommend still attending class because she goes way more into depth. gives a fantastic study guide, too.

Very interesting material, she teaches it well. Lectures slides are posted on Blackboard, so no biggie if you miss a class. 3 major assignments so put if you put in the work you'll get a good grade. Very good marker and will give feedback on how to improve or what your doing wrong or missing. Gives very clear outlines.

I've never really been interested in philosophy, and even though I was scared to take that course at first, Elizabeth made me like it a lot. She's super funny, makes class enjoyable and interesting. She's very accessible outside the classroom as well. She also gives great feedback and wants you do well. I highly recommend her. She's amazing!!! :)

Elizabeth is a great philosophy professor. She's kind and answers questions well and is easy to approach. She posts powerpoints after each class. Tests were easy (just study her practice exams) and assignments (2) were acceptable: not much to hand in. She's an easy marker who will give you great feedback and a fair grade. 10/10 would recommend.

Not only the most inspiring lectures Ive ever had, but the most hilarious professor Ive had at MacEwan.

This was my first philosophy course and Panasiuk made it really enjoyable. She is super funny and I hardly ever found her lectures to be dry. I also think that this class can be a pretty easy A if you are into writing papers and putting in the work with a bit of reading.

Panasiuk is incredibly smart, hilarious, super fair, and leaves me thinking and inspired after each lecture. Was a total GPA booster for me, too.

I couldn't asked for a better introduction to philosophy. Loved the topics. Panasiuk basically gives the midterm questions on a study guide from which she picks a few. Essays are short, and she gives lots of information on how to write essays, and feedback so you can improve on your next one. Lectures were interesting and inspiring. 10/10.

There are lots of readings, however i read none of them and she goes over them so concisely I honestly didnt need too. She was so cool and made lectures really fun & also just was a good teacher who genuinely wants you to succeed. Shes a decent marker & I recommend for a fun class

Panasiuk is not only an amazing professor but a wonderful human being. She genuinely cares about students, and her classes were the highlight of my week. 10/10

Elizabeth is one of the best professors I've had at MacEwan. She's incredibly intelligent, funny, encouraging, and was amazingly helpful with lots of office hours and live sessions because she understood remote learning is challenging for students. A prof who actually cares about her students.

Hybrid classes are annoying but Elizabeth is a gem. The material is super interesting, and she didn't give any timed exams which takes the pressure of memorizing a bunch of stuff. Writing assignments were straightforward and she gave lots of helpful feedback. Super kind prof!

Elizabeth is a really good professor. Her learning outcomes are the clearest I have ever received from any other professor. She speaks very clearly and goes over material to ensure that everyone knows what is important to be understood. Anyone who says this class was hard must have not been trying at all!

I took class with her back in 2022, It was one of my very first university classes! There was an expectation to read and work through the readings but she unpacked things really beautifully as things went on and did what she could to encourage us online to talk and engage with what she was saying. I recommend her as a prof to many!

She feels like a mother to me. Very organized and passionate. Everyone's saying she's the hardest marker in the world but I'm not Shakespeare, and I'm not failing her class so maybe that's on you. She actually cares about her students and is very kind. Sometimes she makes you work in groups and I hate that but I survived so I guess it's fine.

I honestly adored Elizabeth. I could listen to her lectures all day. The class discussions definitely sparked my fire the day. That being said, I do agree that she's a tough grader. For an intro class, I was super surprised that her expectations were so heavy on essays practically being on a 3rd-year level. There is no room for mistakes.

Elizabeth is hilarious and super caring. Her lectures are excellent and super entertaining. She explains complex concepts in ways that make sense. She grades easily on papers, but her tests were a challenge. The midterm and final were all written, which was tiring, and you need to know these concepts deeply. Highly recommend attending lectures.

engaging prof however alot of reading in this course. exams are hard but essays are super easy to do well in and she gives greatfeed back on them too

Elizabeth is super nice and her lectures are engaging. She is a tough grader but gives good feedback on essays.

She teaches concepts clearly and methodically. Occasional group discussions during lectures and weekly readings. She's very kind and helpful during office hours. The midterm and the final were all written, but you'll be fine if you attend her lectures. I found her quite lenient on the reading analysis and the essay.

Extremely intelligent, compassionate, and funny. She will make you think, question your own moral faculties, and even come to define who you are as a person. She makes philosophy fun, engaging, and thought-provoking. She will mark tough but fair. Understand the main components of the philosophers. Work hard and you will get and A.

Elizabeth was an awesome prof. Her lectures were really good, she used some really beneficial examples to explain course content and you can tell she really enjoys what she is teaching. Do the assigned weekly readings! Her feedback on midterms and written work is beneficial. Just be aware tests are hand written long & short answer as well as T/F.

I loved her class. She made it super interesting and I'd definitely take one of classes again!!

Professor Elizabeth is engaging and makes philosophy fun. Lectures are excellent, but tests can be challenging - stay on top of readings and use resources like Unstuck study for study prep.

She teach well, provide detail slide, reading to practice. 3 exam 1 final, tough grader, she suppose you to write a lot in exam like for one page. 15 MC or TF

PHIL 100 is primarily a reading course. She is very nice, and it is clear she loves discussing what she teaches. She used a lot of real-world examples, which helped on the exams. The exams were handwritten and she expected a lot for 50 minutes, but if you studied and knew all the pieces discussed in class, there shouldn't have been a problem

She is a very nice woman who is clear and concise about what is on her test. This is a class where it's important to attend class and take notes because you won't do as well on the tests if you don't attend class. The readings are easy, all provided except for the work that you have to get yourself. I highly recommend her class

She clearly loves the course content and engages in discussion on topics in every class. Attendance isn't mandatory, but it is tough to grasp the subject matter if not in attendance, as she usually adds evaluative response content to her discussion around the slides she goes through in class. She has a few jokes and is always open to new takes.

Overall, she was a good teacher. I can tell that she really cared about what she was teaching and the classes overall understanding on each topic. The tests were hard, in order to get an A, you need to know the subject matter through and through because even if you think "she wont ask me what priori is on a test", yes she will.

Wonderful professor. My lecture was 3 hours long every Tuesday, which is demanding and can be very tiring even though the content is fun. Pay attention and write notes, I survived off of just reading the material and studying off of her power points but you have to know the information well because there is a lot of written. She is very helpful!!!
