As a person Ellen is incredibly kind and caring, I really felt her passion for teaching. However the way the course is designed makes it very difficult to stay interested in the content. VERY textbook heavy, if you don't read you'll fail. She really tries her best to make the course fun but its hard to sit through 3 hours of power point slides.

She is an amazing professor who is kind and caring. If I were to rate her as a professor I would give her a 10/10. Her class on the other hand is super textbook heavy and really hard. If I were to give the class a mark out of 10 I would give a 6/10.

An amazing professor. One of the best I have had at Ryerson. The course itself is pretty dry material, but she taught with lots of enthusiasm & made sure to always clarify & make concepts extra clear. Her tests are a bit hard (short answers) but if you show up to class or re-read the text youll do great! also brings guest speakers often!!

TAKE HER FOR THIS CLASS! She is extremely passionate about OB!! Made me want to show up to class because she is just that good at giving lectures! But the midterms + final are a lot of information so get ready to put some effort in and study for it.... Thank u Ellen ! You were amazing.

She's an amazing prof, but the course is really content heavy which many students hate which prolly explains her negative reviews. We played a lot of games and did activities to understand certain concepts in the course. Some people thought of it as a waste of time and childish but I genuinely enjoyed it.

Ellen is an amazing prof. She really tries to make your learn from getting you to step outside her comfort zone. Tests are very textbook heavy and and very application based however. MHR405 is a very dry course in general but Ellen tries to make it as enjoyable as possible.

Honestly, I don't know a better teacher who is as passionate to teach OB and actually cares if the students are struggling. GO TO CLASS. Trust me you want those participation marks, also she notices who cares about the class. You won't regret taking her class. Know your stuff and you'll succeed!

Ms. Choi is honestly one of the nicest and sweetest person I've ever met. She's very intelligent, and really takes the time to make sure you understand the material, and did her best to prepare us for the midterm/exam. MHR is a heavy course no matter the prof. You have to put in the work to get a good grade, but if you can, choose her.

This course is definitely more content heavy but the prof makes it worth it. Her lectures are really engaging and she encourages participation. She is also accessible outside of class and went over the midterm with me to see what I needed to work on for the final. **Do the revel quizzes and research pool: easy 12%

Dr. Choi is an amazing professor who really wants you to succeed. The course is extremely textbook heavy so its best if you focus on that. While her lectures may be boring, they are a good overview of the content. Class participation does matter. Practice a lot of case studies and you will do well in this course.

lots of reading in this course. prof choi tries to make learning this course fun although it is very textbook heavy. attendance isn't totally mandatory but there are participation quizzes that sometimes relate to what was talked about in class.

She's is a great personality, but she never finishes the lecture in the appropriate time. We miss about half of the content because she's too busy conversing with students about content not covered on exams. A lot of technical difficulties

One of the best profs Ive ever had! She made the lectures super engaging and allowed us to apply our knowledge and actually digest what we were learning. We had live response and in class assignments for easy marks, and break out rooms and class discussions every week where we had the chance to apply that weeks reading. Definitely recommend!

Ellen is a friendly professor, who is truly kind and has the best intentions. However, given the online platform, the constant breakout rooms and group activities are tedious and do not provide the outcome she expects. I felt unprepared for the final and midterm as the format discussed in class in regards to questions are entirely different.

Ellen is an amazing prof. The course is very content heavy and you have to read like 100 pages before lecture.. but once you come into the lecture, it is fun, lots of activities. She tries to get everyone involved and one the best profs I have had

Her lectures are engaging, and she is a wonderful prof. there was an issue with the final exam where it was posted an hour late and that really messed up my exam mark and threw me off game. However that was out of character for her. I ended up with a 3.67 in the course, but I know I could have gotten a 4.00. Shes usually bubbly and approachable!

She clearly put a lot of effort into her lectures and found creative ways to get her point across to help us learn. Also managed to apply what we were learning to real-life situations quite well. One of my favorite professors this semester, although she grades quite hard on exams.

Especially goes over important material that will be on the exam and provides real-life examples with the content. You can especially tell that she cares about her students by going out of her way to make engaging activities that bring the class together.

Definitely very kind and does her best to keep students engaged, but sometimes feels too casual and allows students to distract from lectures. Tests were harder than what was taught but still manageable. Make sure your notes are on point and you'll be fine.

Ellen is one of the few profs that really cares for her students & wants to see them succeed. Her classes are very interactive with group work & class participation. Make sure you go to class & pay attention because she will tell you what to focus on to prepare for both exams. Stuff discussed in class are the main topics of the short answers.

Honestly, she's not a tough grader, I met with her one-on-one during office hours for feedback about my horrendous midterm mark and seeing the way she grades my paper, she is honestly not a tough grader. The questions are hard to answer because she wants you to be very specific. She's always willing to help if you ask! so ASK!

Ellen was understanding towards students and some of her activities did help. She's always there if u want to reach out but remember she is not the one that marks the exams but the TA instead. Her D2L modules were great but if you're just studying those its bare minimum so be prepared to read from the textbook or else. Overall great prof!

Overall great prof and likes seeing people succeed. Her classes had many activities but some were helpful and some weren't. If you go to class you will do fine because her tips are amazing. Studying her D2L shell alone is the bare minimum so it might be a good idea to read sometimes from textbook. TA's mark exams and not her. Made my semester!

Ellen was honestly one of the best profs I had this semester! You can tell she truly cares about her students well being and listens to what students are saying. If you read the textbook and listen/participate in class you will do just fine. Without a doubt, I would take her again if I have the chance.

This class opened my eyes to a professor who understands their students and encourages them to participate and she makes the classroom a friendly place to do so. Ellen has been hands down my favourite prof throughout my university career as she respects you as a person and your time as a student and understands you to the best of her ability.

Ellen was by far the best professor I've had in all four years at TMU. Participation matters so show up and give your all to this class because she goes above and beyond to help you both academically and just in general for life. Safest and most beneficial learning environment Ive ever had. 10/10

Ellen made me want to come to class. I wish more profs were like her. She understands her students and tries to bring the best out of them.

Interactive class with a great prof that makes me want to attend class. Very fun group projects and take-home exams. This is the only class I willingly wanted to attend over the last 4 years. very caring and understanding towards all students no matter who you are. she is always open to talk about anything. Most likely the best prof I've had !

Professor Choi was amazing, she was very helpful and very understanding with all of her students. She truly enjoys teaching and cares about the well being of all her students. Definitely recommend her for the classes she teaches!

Dr. Ellen Choi is very passionate about course materials/concepts and tries to incorporate activities to further understanding of information. Good at creating a safe space for learning. However, she is not very structured. Lecture could go off tangent easily. She was also late 3 times in the semester which is more than me as a student.

Great prof, her lectures were great and I enjoyed the activities we did to help us better understand the different concepts she taught us and how they would be applied in a teamwork environment.

Awesome lectures, super interactive and makes you want to participate more. Get ready to read. Reading chapters before lectures is a necessity as she will discuss the topics of the previous chapters during class time.

She's a great prof to take in my opinion. She explains very clearly and is great, the textbook for MHR is very dry as it doesn't explain the terms properly. She explains all the important stuff in class, my tips 1) attend class and take notes 2)note any key terms 3)do the in class assignments you should be good

Of all the MHR 405 profs I believe, she is the best. You can tell she really cares about her students and is really passionate about teaching the course. The course is content heavy so beware of taking good notes and paying really good attention in class. She is super interactive with the class as she wants students to participate more.

gave my boi a retake on the exam. #MyGoat

Her class is super interactive and she has an amazing way to teach her content. There is no midterm nor final, only simulations and a group project.

Review - Dr. Ellen Choi is a great prof who cares for her students. The course in general is easy with some lectures being fun and insightful. Beware of group projects if you don't like working with others. One aspect to improve on is feedback as she rarely provides any. Overall, I would def take her again in the future.

Ellen is the most interactive prof out of all the other MHR profs. This course is lecture-heavy, take the time to make notes on lectures, do the application question assignments, and ask questions as there are many concepts you need to grasp. Attend her lectures for participation marks. Midterm and final were open-book. Overall, very caring & nice!

This course is content heavy but the exams are application based on the concepts. The way I succeeded in this class was write down which slide number she goes over in class, listen to her explanation of the concepts in class, and then write down EVERY single thing from only the slides she went over on your cheat sheet. Never read the textbook.

She is the best, the sweetest lady. Don't go into any of the exams just having written the cheat sheet as your studying, the questions are application so you're already supposed to know the material with the sheet to help you. Nothing is deceptive about her exams, she wants everyone to succeed and there are many opportunities to receive free marks.

this is my first time writing a review about a prof, but man, ellen choi is the best tmu prof! im extremely introverted and her class made me feel more confident. I appreciate her sm and yall should take her and your appreciation

Ellen is the best professor at TMU hands-down. She is inspirational, genuine, and caring. She brings you out of your comfort zone and creates a safe space to feel silly. If you like more hands-on activities, this is the class for you. Dr. Choi is a wonderful lady, 10/10 would take this course and this prof again.

SHE IS THE GREATEST PROF AT TMU NO DOUBT. Her class was my end of week therapy for sure. She changed things around to help people during the semester and did not mind extending due dates. I absolutely loved her and her class.

Don't trust any of the bad ratings about her. She is amazing! I attended every lecture, but you're good, if you cannot attend every single one. However, you do need to participate and give in some effort into the group portions of the course. Moving over, you can talk to her about anything and she is very accommodating.

She's an amazing person and a great lecturer. The course can be tough for some people, but as long as you put in effort you should be able to receive a good grade. Attendance is mandatory for in-class assignments and she also encourages her students to participate by doing activities / thinking experiments.

Professor Ellen truly changed my life. As a 3rd-year HR student, I've never had a class that made me reflect so deeply. Her thought-provoking lessons helped me understand myself before others. I especially grew in self-awareness and listening. She creates real, lasting impact.

Dr ellen is talented with a different lecture style. She wants to connect to her students on a deeper level. Connecting socially in a classroom is a valuable skill. I only had a few interactions with her, but she still noticed me which makes me think she tries to do that will her students. Advice I give is try to be objective with all students.

People often take it out on her when they dont get the grade they wanted, but shes actually a great lecturer. She explains concepts really clearly and applies it to real life so its easy to remember for exams, her class is extremely interactive but you can always pass. Honestly if you just pay attention in lectures you can easily get a high grade.

best prof ever. easiest course ever

Dr. Ellen Choi is the best prof i've ever had. She is funny, charismatic, and really cares for her students. Her lectures are never boring, there's always a fun activity every class (we did an ice bath once). She truly is inspirational and is the reason my future became clear to me. Idk why there are so many bad reviews, she's literally the best.

Anyone who says she's a terrible professor is just not being honest. From my experience as a student at TMU for three years, she's by far the best professor I've had. This is actually the only class I've really enjoyed, and part of what makes it so good is the group projects and the way she gets everyone involved in class.

The Most fun HR class I have ever taken. it might seem silly at first but really does teach you things that you can apply after graduation

Do not be intimidated by these reviews; her classes were absolutely life-changing. She opened the eyes of so many students, and our class was like one big family; we would get personal and emotional. If I could take this class all over again, I would, and so many people in the class felt the same!

She is amazing and speaks in a way that has you hooked the full lecture. I learned things that I'll take with me my whole life. She wants to get you out of your comfort zone, and as a true introvert, I truly do feel more confident in social settings now. Literally life changing. Wish I could take her class again and again.

she is honestly an amazing prof and is very passionate. She will pick on you randomly but it isn't all bad. Her weekly quizzes are so easy. during the exam, she was actively giving hints to the class. She cares for her students and it shows. Her cold plunge workshop is such an experience. definitely recommend especially for 741.

Very great professor and one of my favourite classes this semester. I agree with all the other recent reviews, this class pushes you to step out of your comfort zone and understand so much about yourself and those around you. If I had the chance I would 100% take another class with Ellen Choi!

Dr. Ellen Choi is an amazing prof! She really cares for her students and I personally felt connected with her. She teaches valuable lessons and makes the class super interesting. The course itself is easy, but there are a lot of assignments. I felt so inspired in every class.
