She is the best Lae professor at Seneca,explaine the materials so clearly that ganna stay in your mind forever.Just read her notes ,you can get good marks but remember that you have to be able to understand her words cause she speaks fast and it might be difficult for some student to get her words.

awesome, go to class and take the note, explain clearly, and get everything.but sometimes it is hard to make clear what she write on the blackboard.
She is very nice and makes sure that what ever she teaches is related to the topic!!!! the best teacher I have ever had!!
Lotsa notes involved (well it is a law class) but nonetheless an excellent teacher. Knows her stuff and makes it interesting. She is funny, she could do stand up comedy without trying.
I didn't like her personality, but she is very clear and make course interested with real life examples.
Amazing teacher... it's considered a difficult course but she makes it so easy with many examples and a lot of notes. If only more professors were like her!
This is da best teacher ever. She is like crystal clear. She actually takes her time and explains and rush like other teachers who just come to class and leave. This is what i like about this professor is that she actually gives her time to students and effort. I will recommend u takin dis professor. Fran u da best :)

Fran Smyth is not only one of the best, she is LEGENDARY. SHE IS GOD! She will go through course material very clearly. She should consider a job as an military officer, because of her strong personality or a storyteller, because she always likes to tell stories relating to the course, She will make your day. HAIL TO FRAN SMYTH!!
Hail to Fran Smyth, Greatest professor until the end of time. Something your unclear about, ask Fran and she will make you understand crystal clear of what concept is important
Fran Smyth is a legendary GOD. She is supernatural, and fiery. Anyone cause trouble in her class will pay for it by facing her fiery personality. She deserves her place equivalent to that of Zeus. She will help you understand if you are not sure of something. she likes her job alot. HAIL TO FRAN SMYTH. GREAT GOD OF SENECA

Hi Fran
Fran Smyth is a legendary GOD. HAIL FRAN SMYTH LEGENDARY GOD OF SENECA
If there is one teacher in Seneca who cares about students and is smart, that would be Fran. She is amazing and kind.

She is such a beautiful professor. She deserves a crown as she is the queen of my heart. You will learn a lot and become smarter with her. Proud that we have her as Seneca.
Best damn prof you try your best and go to her for extra help shell give it, she may seem a bit scary but deep down inside shes very sweet i took her class and dropped because i felt overloaded and then i made sure i take her again when i felt ready for more courses she is amazing
She is amazing !!! Its been 2 years and I still remember what she said in class ! She talks with such enthusiasm that you dont need to even read the textbook you will definitly remember what she says. Attend all classes and use the notes she gives you to study and you will be just fine !
She keeps everything she say nice and clear! You'll remember almost everything she say in class and her notes are very helpful! You won't even notice that it's already time to leave because you'd be too focused on her discussions. She will make sure that you will understand everything you need about business law. Will definitely take her again!
she is just amazing. one of the BEST BEST professors. she makes things very clear and very understandable. i even didn't buy the book. love to be in her class... she is so so amazing teacher. one of the best pro ever had.
Fran is FRANtastic!Beautiful inside and out! She will teach you everything you need to know. She is so great at teaching and so inspiring. She'll tell you that she doesn't believe in boring subjects, because it depends on a professor to make it fun or not, you'll 100% agree with her by the end. Fran is the best professor in Seneca, simply the best.
She is wonderful.Not easy marker but quite fair.I enjoyed her class.
Good and fair teacher. Not an easy marker but very fair. Work hard and then you can get A. Choose her!
Best pro! I really like her. But not a easy marker, try your best you can get at least B
Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic with what she does. Hard marker. When it comes to assignments your on your own. Study from her notes and you'll get an A or A+.
Interesting and knowledgeable. Not easy marker and fair.
Super love...don't miss it
She explains so well and it is really easy to understand!! you are NEVER gonna REGRET if you take her class!!!!
You don't really need the textbook for her class as she posts her notes online. Understand the concepts and answer the case study questions correctly and getting an A will be easy. For m/c her questions can be difficult but read carefully and it will be fine.
SHE IS THE BEST! No seriously. guys, if you have any chance to take her class, do it! I have enjoyed every lecture with her. She is so inspiring and so smart! Love love love
super crazy, poor guy
She is an excellent professor! So enthusiastic in the lectures and really engaging! She is a bit of a hard marker on the cases analyses but it`s still worth it! You can achieve at least a B if you work hard but with the articles analyses,make sure you understand the articles and ask her for approval first! I will miss her! Thank you, Fran!
The greatest teacher I ever had! Her class is so interesting! I wish I can have her for every Law class that I need to take. Her test might be a little bit harder than others, but if you pay attention in her class and review well, you will get a good mark. she is very kind, one of my assign late for a few weeks, she still give me some mark.
great prof amazing energy
Amazing teacher! She makes the subject fun and interesting. She's always full of energy and really tries to help you as much as possible. But she has no patience for people who never show up for class then goes to her office expecting her to teach them what they need for the test (she told us about a student who did this). And she hates cheaters!
She is AMAZING!!!!!! U will never get bored at her class!!!!! She is a easy marker and willing to tell u what u don't need to worry for exam. Attend to her class, understand her notes, you will be fine.
Fran is one of the best professors I've had at Seneca. Lectures are interesting and applicable to today's business world. OUTSTANDING!!!!
She's hilarious! Makes a boring class very funny and exciting. Gives a lot of real-world cases that make law concepts make sense. She's one of the authors of the textbook and she uploads chapter notes so she teaches everything you need to know. Wish I could take her in future classes.
She is really good prof. gives real life examples some are very controversial yet true examples,
Amazing professor! Very smart, her lectures are interesting and give really good life experience. Love her !
First meet I think she is mean for calling names and making bold statements. But as classes go along, I gain a lot of essential knowledge that is very helpful for my future. Her lectures are fascinating and it has never bored me. I am happy to tell you guys that she is a fantastic professor so don't worry taking her, however effort is required.
She's really great. She gets the point across very clearly, come to her class and you're guaranteed a B+. She's hilarious and you will never fall asleep during her lectures. Sit at the front, WRITE YOU'RE OWN NOTES even though she give you ones, she emphasizes a lot of things. Makes law interesting.
Very easy market. When writing tests you can here Fran Smyth's voice in your head. She's too good at teaching. I wish most of my professor were like her. Very lovely professor. Take her you will be very glad you did.
best prof. ever had, interesting lectures. Prof. makes the course really easy for you.
Good professor. Straight to the point and very clear. Just wish she would use her textbook more often.
Amazing!
Awesome Professor,one of the best in Seneca , you are blessed if you get this professor for law. Just attend the class regularly and read the notes, A is guaranteed. She has mastered in the subject and has vast knowledge and command over the subject. By end of the semester you'll be able to apply your learning in real world and that is fun!
Great professor! Make the difficult boring law corse very interesting, the course material will be very useful in the future career and real life. It does require reading to memorize the terms and basic knowledge. I enjoyed her class so much, since this is summer course, she only teaches half, I wish she could of teaching the whole thing!
She is a really great prof . You will never get bored in her class. She made the law easier to understand and fun. Remember to read her notes and go to class!
She is hands down the best professor I have EVER had, she makes all concepts incredible easy to understand. I wish i could have her as my only professor
come to class , listen attentuvely, you good. She uses real lufe situstiond to explain explain each topic.
Good prof as everyone known. Make sure you come to class even attendence is not required. but she teaches everything you need for test! book is not needed
The best professor I have had in my 3 semesters at Seneca. No question about it. She lectures with great passion and detail, she'll draw you in. She makes notes and gives them to you so you only have to worry about listening. Put in a decent amount of effort and go to class and you should get an A and learn a lot along the way.
Amazing professor
If not teaching Business Law, Fran could easily be an actor. Every lecture is as if she's acting out a play on stage. Who said monologues are boring and put people to sleep? Give Fran's class a try--it would be the wisest decision you've ever made. Her tests have no tricks--everything is in her notes/lectures/textbook. You reap what you sow.
Fran is a great professor who go over the lecture with detail. If she does not talk very much about the concept, it will not be tested on the midterm. Her marking can be hard because you need to put examples and support with evidence to get the mark what you need. This course is hard, but it can worth of your knowledge.
Lecture heavy classes can be such a bore, but with Fran the 3 hours can just breeze by. She provides notes for the lecture on blackboard but also writes notes on the board to supplement it. She's incredibly passionate about what she teaches and surprisingly, its a lot easier to remember topics when someone is yelling it out.
