Very rude teacher. Exams were brutal and extensive. Do well in her assignments and you'll be fine.

Worst teacher I have ever had in my life. Goes off on tangents in class and makes little sense. Teaches things that are irrelevant, and doesn't teach the things that we are expected to know. Her exams are brutal with random questions out of the text book that she never talked about it class. She should not be allowed to teach.

Tests are ridiculous and she never listens to anything you say.

This woman is awful! I think she loves the sound of her own voice. She doesn’t stay on topic in class, she is very redundant, and rarely comes to a point. You basically have to teach yourself in this class. Her exams are really annoying. Sometimes she does not reply to emails.

I had Giselle. I do not believe her to be an ethical teacher. She does things to protect herself rather than help the other students. She singles people out for no reason. She did a "seminar" style class which basically meant she could come in and ramble about the topics rather than presenting real info. Not helpful, not useful, tactless.

Very judgmental, not a good instructor. She talks excessively about her personal life. Very stubborn. Terrible instructor for clinical, avoid.

Great for a chuckle, not so great as an instructor. "Lectures" were useless. You're better off just showing up for the weekly quizzes, then skipping class and just doing the readings (and there will be a lot). Asks the most stupid questions on tests. They're either really easy or really convoluted.

Mediocre health instructor, horrible clinical. AVOID clinical with her. She's not organized, does not give back constructive criticism. Likes to use her superiority to justify her actions. Got mad when we weren't signed of on ceiling lifts post midterm when she was the one who canceled clinicals or says she was busy with others to sign you off.

Her class discusses your assigned readings/podcasts/articles. So you must come prepared. Her quizzes are randomly pulled from her test bank online so, your classmates will have different questions than you. I felt this was unfair.

Absolutely horrible teacher. I felt I did not learn anything from in-class lectures, which are mostly discussion based. Be prepared to watch ALOT of videos and pidcasts as a part of your readings. She's stubborn and uses phrases like "not that I care" openly. Her exams and grading criteria are absolute mess!! Avoid her if you could, sadly not.

Lectures are optional to attend as long as you attend the scheduled in class quizzes. I learned nothing new from attending her lectures. I missed most classes and did fine in her course. She was also slightly rude and overbearing at times to some students at random. She's not a great teacher but it isn't impossible to do well in her class.

1209 Class was straight forward. Does not teach. Goes off topic so its mostly self-taught. 1263: AVOID, DISORGANIZED, uses her authority and makes unreasonable amount of work compared to other clinical instructors. Not very supportive. She pushes you which is good but she is very unpredictable and you never know what to expect. BEWARE!!!

Terrible instructor and focuses too much on the structural component of writing rather than content. Her marking is ridiculous and even if you follow the rubric you'll get a bad mark. She talks to students in a very demeaning, infantilized manner. Seems to think college students can't write a paragraph. Should not be a prof. Literally the worst!!

Prime example of an interesting course ruined by a terrible professor. Marks very unrealistically in discussion postings and will literally post links to websites on "how to write a paragraph". Seems to be weirdly focused on how we structure our writing rather than the content and will give a bad mark just because of this. Just a mess of a prof.

Avoid at all costs. Giselle is condescending and unhelpful in both theory courses and clinical. Her marking does not go by any rubric, she will copy and paste generic feedback such as "only use words you know" and she never answers email. She literally just hands out marks and can't explain why you received the mark you did. Awful awful awful!

Doesnt teach. Just judges u and treats u like ur stupid. Every other clinical group focused on building confidence and learning. Giselles focus was how fast u can move while not giving any opportunity to learn. My entire clinical group came close to failing and 1 student who was probably the strongest out of us all ended up failing. AVOID HER

Way to impatient to be teaching term 2 -.- she is not clear with her expectations and doesnt communicate what ur supposed to do and then proceeds to yell at u for it when in fact she is the problem. Started off the semester very nice and then got worse and worse. She forgets this is term 2 and we dont kno what we r doing

Do NOT choose Coquitlam clinical placement for term 2! Be ready to work extra hard in clinical. She's moody, strict, and expects perfection. You must show her you're working your butt off and work fast to pass. She'll make you feel like garbage and make you cry. Her workload is avg and is flexible with deadlines but she is disorganized and unclear.

Giselle is the worst prof I have ever had, avoid at all costs. As a result of her bullying and volatile ways, the majority of our clinical group cried on numerous occasions. She openly humiliates her students in front of staff, residents and visitors. She also holds failure over all of her students heads when minor errors are made.

Giselle has never satisfactorily answered a single question in class. She instead goes on long unrelated tangents until you've forgotten what the question was. She takes offense if the class is unresponsive to her. Unclear with marking criteria, and will dock significant marks without giving adequate reasons.

Tons of weekly assignments that can be a lot of work for little to no marks. Haphazard marking with absolutely useless feedback. Continually changes the criteria and marking rubrics but is always a month behind in marking so you never know what she wants. Has never once clearly answered any question. Won't fail but will be extremely frustrating.

Do not recommend. Giselle is not an approachable or supportive instructor. Posted online lectures that were irrelevant to the week's material. Took over a month to return assignments (including short online MC quizzes). Grading was extremely unclear. Good luck if you have her as an instructor - make your own notes and learn to self-study.

If you're expecting to learn anything in her class, you're not. Be prepared to make your own notes and to self-study. She gives weekly assignments and it takes over 5 weeks to get anything back. No clear grading criteria. Doesn't answer questions and often restates your questions back to you as a statement. Try to avoid Giselle if possible.

When asked a question, make sure to be specific because if you don't, you won't get a straight answer. The majority of her assignments are not helpful due to the fact that she doesn't give you any helpful feedback. There are discrepancies between the outlines of each assignment and what she expects.

She's the worst professor I've ever had in my entire life. She picks on students and humiliates them in front of the class, might even compare you to other students. When you're in fact doing exactly what she told you to do. She doesn't communicate clearly when marking papers. She would text you to redo it but would never specify which part.

I had Giselle for term 2 clinical YEARS ago and as a now working RN, I still think back to how crappy she made me feel as a student brand new to patient care and nursing. She should not be a clinical instructor and made multiple of my clinical members cry. She bullied and humiliated her students. I'm sorry to poor future clinical students with her

Giselles 1209 course was pretty easy. Don't overthink assignments basically everything in her course is a grade booster except for the quizzes and the paper which arent extremely difficult either.

No matter how hard I studied from her lecture materials, I'd still find myself so baffled and confused by her poorly written quiz questions. The majority of the time, I am aimlessly selecting the "correct" answer. The paper was useless and was marked with a strange rubric - the feedback attached to the assignment was not helpful. No final exam.

Test heavy with questions that are worded poorly, has material that we did not learn for that week, and academic paper rubric did not follow marking and was graded very tough. Giselle releases the powerpoints 2-3 days before the weekly quizzes and expects us to have enough time to study. I would say avoid, but it's probably inevitable for term 2.

Bruh, she's not it. Pros: Weekly quizzes so no mt/final exams. Cons: Quiz questions were unfair and not reflective of our knowledge. They're basically a guessing game, no matter how hard you study, you will end up just guessing what the "right" answers are. Lecture is easy to tune into tho bc she explains content in the most simplified way.

You know Miss. Trunchbull from Matilda? That's Giselle. - Term 2 Clinical Jan 2022

She is NOT it.

This has to be the worst instructor in Langara College! I don't know what the other good reviewers are on about. She expects you to do weekly readings and then gives you the most random quiz questions ever which are completely irrelevant to what you read. She spends the lecture hours talking about non-testable garbo topics. Please retire ffs

To keep it short and simple, I will be quoting Chief Keef off of his 2012 hit "I Don't Like" to describe my feelings towards this professor. "DON'T LIKE."

Weekly pre-reading quizzes that does not cover the main parts of the readings but rather the exact quote of what someone said or some totally random information that's irrelevant. Her padlet is even worse, she makes you make m/c questions worth 5% for each assignment which we only get 45min to work on in class and the rubric is just not it

You're already paying for textbooks and tuition, why would you pay for a class where you write her tests for her? I don't think she enjoys teaching. I would start a gofundme to allow her to retire. She looks like she needs it, and honestly it would be better for everyone.

Now graduated nurse I still think back to my clinical with Giselle. She told me and many of my peers that we would not make it through the program and should drop out. She said we would thank her for her "tough love" one day. I'm still waiting for that "one day"..but something tells me I will never be grateful for the bullying and abuse.

Extremely terrible tough instructor for Term 2. Criticizes you for small things like walking slowly or wiping slowly, sometimes in front of pts too. Will make you feel like a terrible student nurse and probably make you cry. Very unclear expectations. Pretty much demands perfection. Higher chance of failing clinicals with her vs other instructors.

I do not get why be rude to students? Literally she ruined my mental so much, I can not think about her without crying. If you get her, please good luck. yikes

She tests on how well can you guess on a test, rather than actual concepts... RUN, one of the worst profs I have had, knows how to ruin her students mental health with her quizzes and midterms...

I agree with the last person, Worst Prof ever 🥲
