she is an amazing T.A., will do her best to help students

Heather is by far the best t.a. i've ever had. She goes the extra mile to help. Even though I'm no longer in any of her classes she still helps me with my work. Best ever!!!

I don't know, she wanted to be Best Buds with everyone, plus she kinda slanders the actually professor she's TA-ing for. What's that all about? Hint- No professionalism!

She's a nice woman, knows her stuff and she tries to make lectures as interesting as possible. I don't know about the review below, though, b/c I didn't find her assignments unclear or hard...but I had Morgan and it seems like he was WAY harder of a marker than Heather!

she was so helpful, great prof and easy marker too. Just study from her lecture notes and you'll do great. Have to attend her lects .. very helpful.

she is an amazing professor she marks fair and makes sure you are prepared for your tests and exams

Such a warm hearted, lovely woman. she is always willing to help. She makes the course alot more interesting than it is, cause ppl really how interesting can sociological methods be?

This course was much different than described. The topics were somewhat interesting but the lectures were boring. She marked tough on the essays. The format of the course required too much time (online dicussions, essays, projects) The upside was no exam! She was very approachable however, and a pleasant lady nonetheless.

I found this class to be really interesting and really not that much work. She spaces assignments nicely and and although the DGs can be time consuming, they make you do your readings and keep you up to date with what is going on in the course. Yeah she is a rather tough marker but it is not a first year class, you have to try!

Heather was by far one of the BEST profs I had...who ever said she isn't easy to get a hold of must have never went to class as she gave out her home number to be reached before american idol is on...She's amazing... If you want to do the work, study the main and obvious points in the readings, along with her lecture slides... your set!

She lists out all the things that you need to do to get a good mark. READ IT and you will be fine. You can basically skim the readings and obtain a good mark. The online tutorials can be a pain sometimes since you are require to post in discussions regulary and add to other's contributions.

Heather Garrett is an amazing Prof! She goes above and beyond to help you if you ask for it!! If you review the multiple choice and true and false questions from the study guide and review the lecture notes you will be fine. As long as you do the work you will get the mark you deserve. I don't understand why anyone would giver her a bad review!

Heather was pretty good and very helpful. Sometimes the lectures could be a bit boring(but that was more because of the material). She emails the slides ahead of time which is also really helpful. If you go to the lectures and keep up with the readings you will do fine. She is not a bad prof at all. Just be prepared to do some work.

Prof doesnt allow the use of labtops in her class. Lecture notes posted online so her class is pointless but during summer its mandatory. The readings are rather boring and the course content is rather useless. She tries to make her lectures interesting but she always ends up talking about her personal life.

Heather is a critical thinker and encourages her students to think critically as well. Her course helped me to analyze situations in greater detail and develop a critical standpoint. She really makes you work, but it sure pays off in the long run. People who talk negative about her can just continue to hate, because that's all you're good for.

A very boring lecturer, who bores herself when talking, because she is always yawning. There are 3 tests and on top of that one huge group research assignment. I would not recommend her when taking 2030. Yes she is nice but the lectures and so boring and unclear. Takes attendence in both lecture and tutorials.

A very nice and helpful professor who genuinely cares about her students. After the strike I found her to be extremely understanding, by changing the course outline, tests, and the assignment to help relieve people of their stress. I would recommend that anyone who needs or wants to take Sociological Methods should try to get into her class.

She is a nice person. She is always available for extra help. Study her notes and you will do fine. Lectures are boring but during lecture she give a lot hints for the exam. HER STUDY GUIDE is worth buying.

She is a really helpful prof. Classes r useful although they can get unbearably boring most of the time. Her tests are EXTREMELY easy if you study the textbook good and her study guide is THE BEST HELP! I hardly studied at all 4 a few tests, and just readin the guide got me a B+ on em. Be prepared for a team presntation! Good prof; hated the cours

She is nice and her tests aren't "killer", as many people have said here. It's good to keep up with the readings! I'm currently taking it in summer school (almost done!). Taking it in the summer would be a GREAT idea because there are no assignments/essays. ONLY 3 tests and a tutorial presentation. Easy class, helpful prof, but really boring!

Heather is easily accessible to students and she has a genuine interest in helping students succeed in the class. She is very fair and compassionate. I appreciated the class and it has been one of my best experiences at York thus far.

good prof, shes really into the course, but really into herself. She tends to get off topic, but its a good break from the material. ANDREA was an amazing TA, anyone who takes this course get andrea, she is soo understanding and will do anything to help her students

Heather is not only a great professor, but also a wonderful person. She is kind, considerate, and a great listener. Heather is always eager to help and she has a passion for helping others.

she is a great prof. explains things very well and is extremely helpful. her assignments are actually fun. she is a very nice person

Heather is a good professor. She is very cheerful and tries to make the course fun for students. I did not like that she read word for word off the slides but otherwise she was great!

As dry as the course material is, she tried to make it as interesting as she could. I thought the course was really easy and that her tests were extremely fair. She even took into consideration when midterms for other courses would be and scheduled her exams for a couple weeks after.

EXTREMELY HARD MARKER!!! SHE'S BUBBLY, WHICH IS NICE, BUT LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING. EVERYTHING IS DONE ONLINE AND SHE'S STRICT WITH PAGE LIMITATIONS AND HER WORD COUNTS...YIKES!

This class was amazing! And Heather made it interesting. She is a great prof and is always willing to help her students. I find shes the only prof at York that actually cares! I would take every course at york with her if I had to

Very nice prof and shes only strict if you don't submit assignments on time and skip classes. Otherwise, she's a really nice prof. I got an A in her class.

She's a very nice prof, very enthusiastic and bubbly but I have to say she's a hard marker in the 4th year class I took with her.

AVOID HER! She is nice, but a HARD MARKER. She expects 4th yr work for 1st yr course. She deducts 1% for every late, absence. she made us do a HUGE (social research methods) ORIGINAL empirical research project (15% ) + 3 exams + group presentation! I was a straight A student until I took her class! Her exams are KILLER!! all essay questions!

Difficult course with quite a bit of work. A lot is expected. Heather is a nice professor though, she likes to talk (warning for some people). Strict as well, so be careful with that. The course is overall not uninteresting, I did like it.

heather's a great prof. she's very clear with her notes. she's organized. her class consist of a group paper and presentation, online mini assignments, a final paper. it's an interesting class.

Very Good Professor! She loves group work and internet assignments. She always posts her notes in the moodle. She always checks attendance and remembers each students' name. Very clear about the course concept and expectation.

Heather was a good professor and she cares about her students. There is a fair amount of work, but it is a 3rd year course!! Also, she marks fair..you have to put effort into the assignments, you won't get a good grade for mediocre work people! Overall, nice professor.

bird class, prof is very helpful and cares a lot for her students' success!!!!

Heather is a fantastic teacher--she clearly loves what she teaches. She was incredibly helpful, her tests were fair, the assignments were pretty heavy but a good grade is within reach. Overall, a good experience.

Heather made every effort to make the lectures interesting. A lot of heavy assignments, but if you follow the rubric she provides,you will do well. Also, she provides good feedback if you request it. Overall, an excellent third year course!! N.B. What you put into this course is what you receive at the end.

Great prof! Delivers course material with clarity and enthusiasm. Just follow the course kit and her guidelines and you'll do well !

Heather was alright. I found her to be a little bit on the tedious side for an intro class, but what can ya do. Teaches directly off of her slides but 10% of the grade is attendance. Only real complaint is that I know so many things about her that I don't care to know because she shares her life... not my cup of tea and not what I paid for but w.e

A great prof, surely isn't an easy marker but like all classes, you need to put work into it. She's here to help and she's very excited to teach. I do feel like an elementary student around her sometimes but she is also very inspiring with her personal stories. Very structured, helpful powerpoints, go to class, and don't be late.

Amazing Professor! She is very helpful!

Honestly, despite these relatively bad reviews I found her to be a great professor. She was clear in her lectures and I always knew what would be on the test. She was so kind when I talked to her about family issues. The most understanding prof I've ever had. P.s- memorize each definition for the test and make your assignment very creative

Great prof! She is clear and always willing to help if you need it. You get marks simply for showing up to lecture.

Heather was a good prof. I found the content to be quite boring but that wasn't her fault. She is very strict with electronics, including laptops, which can be annoying but I see where shes coming from. She also takes attendance every class (with 2 free passes). No exams which I loved. Theres a few online posts (take seriously) and a group project,

i loved her she was soo sweet and she is an easy marker( just be sure with your spelling she is picky) test was sooo easy. just memorize her slide you will get an easy A

I had her before and I didn't like her.When I saw her name on the syllabus I wasn't happy but I needed it to graduate. this time I understood her, she was helpful and she respected us as long as you respected her. she was very helpful because she knew a lot of us only took this course because it was a requirement. I actually enjoyed her class

Prof Garrett can be particular, but if you engage with her teaching style, the class works well. The textbook and lectures are helpful, and using study tools like unstuck AI can really boost your understanding. Attendance matters, so stay focused and you'll do great.
