went to first lecture, and transferred as fast as i could. she's obviously new .. unable to pronounce words properly, has a heavy swiss? accent, and generally, doesn't seem passionate. Nice person sure, but really now, if you pronounce skewed as squid, and skim over the difficult words, you can't really be that much of teacher, no?
Freakin' terrible...teaches straight out of the book, doesn't even teach that well either. Bad accent. Do not recommend. Stay away!
No Comments
Terrible class. No feedback on assignments, quizzes or mid-terms. Vague when asked questions. Takes examples from textbook literally. Entire class told on day one "You will not get an A, you will not get a B, if you work hard you wil get a C." Brutal. The course material is not that hard BUT the lectures and textbook present it as difficult.
All I can say is ZAMPLE!!! For those of u who have had her as a prof. U know what i'm talking about. Stats sux
OK. ITS TRUE SHE SAYS "ZAMPLE". However, the professor actually wants to help her students. SHE WAS THE ONLY PROF WHO GAVE EXAMPLES FROM PAST FINALS!The problem is that the text book is FAR TOO EASY!YOU NEED TO GET A HOLD OF PAST EXAMS!I thought that Hila was ok!BUT I SWEAR, YOU DO THE PAST EXAMS, YOU WILL PASS!!
she may be willing to help... but her key excuse for terrible marks..."it's not me.. its the students".. although this course does require a lot of staying on top n practice, my advice.. nyone who has her RUUUNNNNN!!.. her slides are straight out of the tbk, mid/quizzes/assgn - hard on your own
boring!
Yes I know stats sucks but Prof Cohen did a great job preparing everyone for the midterm and final. Gives lots of hints and provides lots of examples from old exams.
Terrible English. No feedback. Sometimes I doubt that she can calculate simple arithmetic in her brain. Good slides though but I doubt they are hers. Booooring!
Her englis is understandable but some words just sound funny, i literally fell asleep in calss couple of times, thats how monotone and boring she is, she used to show us videos in the begining but as the course progressed she's like yea we dont have time watch it on your own time , the exam is really hard u really gota temember ur stuff
I dont know why everyone bad mouthed her on here... i had her twice and she was better than the other ppl teaching those courses... got two A's:D wooooo
This management class is so hard...messed up. Have to learn everything yourself. she just reads off slides some which are useless.
She gives good tips on how to study for the course. You must give VERY precise examples to supplement definitions. All instructors use a marking rubric for their exams. She is more gentle with marking than the course directors that wrote the textbook. Hard course where you have to study a lot of jargon.
very helpful. I recommend her, a little boring class though. The person below says exactly what u must do on exams. Marking criteria will get harder on later exams, plz be careful this. If not satisfied with marks, you can discuss the marks with her. If she recognize you understand the material, but you simply didnt write well, she gives more mark.
Very hard marker and does not take up assignments or exams at all. Provides tip about exams after they are written. Very slow in providing materials on course website
2320. I read reviews about her and thought to clarify some of the wrong perceptions. First of all accent doesn't define somebodyâ??s intellect. Secondly I read somebody saying swiss accent, actually she is from israel. So don't believe what people write, go and sit in class to see how a prof teaches. I got D with the most liked prof and B+ with her.
I took ADMS 2320 with her and by far I can say she's one of my favourite professors at york. She's very good at explaining difficult concepts, clarifying doubts, and giving out study tips. If you study hard and follow everything she says in class your bound to an A in the course!
BEST PROF EVER! Very considerate and easy. Wants everyone to do well. Always promptly replies bach to emails. Wish York had more teachers like herm. Had a great term with her last fall.
One of the best profs at York.Very helpful,great teaching style. Extremely enthusiastic and knowledgable about her subject. Actually cares about the students and makes sure everyone gets the concepts. I wish I could have her for 3330 too!
One of the best Prof's I have ever had at York. Attend her classes, listen, and you will get a good grade in this course! If you are not in her section TRANSFER right away!!!
She is a really good professor. She goes through topics slowly, and she wants to make sure everybody gets it before moving on. Has a really nice personality, and is willing to talk to students. I would take another course with her :)
Amazing Prof. Always respond to email quickly, provide tips to how to study and be prepared for the exam.
The best prof ever...she is so nice, really care about the student's success. Will take you step by step in solving different problems and provide lots of examples.
Amazing professor. She is clear in what she says in lectures. But, of course you need to do your work in order to achieve a good grade. Overall, a very good professor.
Great Proff. She is dedicated to her subject and students. The course is intense, lot of things to remember, but work hard and it will be rewarding! Great videos in class.
She is one of the most amazing professors at York. She is so helpful, extremely clear and makes everything so understandable!
Very good professor. Will answer all your questions and make sure you understand them
She is one of the most amazing and dedicated profs at York I have ever had. She will point out a lot of tips that are important for quizzes, mid-terms and finals. Genuinely interested in her students and their understanding of course concepts. She breaks all tension and relieves students of the overwhelming stress attributed to taking Stats.
I think this professor is very understanding and caring! She replies fast to me, and overall I wish every single teacher that I have can be like her. This is something that I am honestly saying. I think she really cares about each and every one of her students. =)
Great professor. Explains the material very clearly. You get a good concept of the basics of IT/IS. Very interesting class and the videos are fantastic!
She teaches very clearly. If you attend her class and follow the power point slides provided you do not necessarily need to read the textbook to do well in this course.
Great professor
Such a nice prof, its clear that she really cares about what she does and she knows exactly how to teach. I would definitely recommend her, other professors could learn from her! Stats 1 is a difficult course but this professor made it much easier to succeed.
Very clear during her lectures, always gives tips on how to solving questions faster especially for the exams, and overall helps students to get the highest mark possible
Very easy to approach. One of the most kind and helpful professors in York. Lectures are very well organized. Always give fast feedback.
Nice teacher, intelligent, but a little too idealistic. Doesn't tend to enjoy when people challenge her viewpoints - "discussions" are looking for students rephrase her own view. Course cases were out of date. Assigned groups mean you'll probably take much longer to get consensus and the project done.
Great prof, online quizzes are a huge boost and if you read the textbook & her powerpoints you are almost promised a B
Hila did her job well, as it is hard to teach this class. Very dry subject material, and she's not the most entertaining speaker. Do your reading before class, and try to participate, and you will be able make the most out of it. Exam was a killer, mid-term slightly easier. I'd take her again, but this time I'd be more prepared for her class.
very nice lady. good professor
She's always very sweet and helpful. Most students like and respect her. Definitely recommend
Participate and contribute in the class. She observes how you work in teams and even informs you if you are not actively participating. Only problem in the course was the group size (10). Coordinating with 10 people having different schedules is a tough job.
She did amazing job. This course needs HUGE amount of memory and it's not her fault. She knows where the point is and let you know during the lecture. She even give your the hint of midterm if you listen carefully. Take her class!
Hila is a GREAT prof! At first, I was very scared of adms2511 because I am not a computer guy. And I wasn't wrong; this course is THE hardest course in adms program. But Hila is very helpful. She explains everything very well. Make sure you attend lectures as in-class questions count towards attendance grade. Hard course became decent with Hila
MGMT 2050 is common across all sections in terms of assignments and tests. I found Hila to be great at lecturing, however she sometimes had difficulties explaining certain concepts clearly. She's very nice and responds to emails. The tests are meant to be average in difficulty (with a couple of challenging questions).
Professor Cohen is very good at explaining the broad scope of the subject matter, but also, she does a great job highlighting important material to know for examinations. Be prepared to read the book a lot, but also listen during lectures and take notes on things she mentions for tests. She is very nice and gives many hints for you to succeed.
Hila has been an amazing prof. I have taken mgmt1050, 2050 and omis2010 with Hila and she has been very caring and knows how to teach a class. You can be confident that you are getting the right prof for this course.
Not the easiest course, but by going to her classes, participating, and doing her assigned homework questions, it's definitely doable. Her teaching style and slides are amazing, and she really goes through the material well in class. Very approachable, helpful, engaging, and fair. Just follow all her tips, such as practising & timing yourself, etc.
She's really helpful and caring. She gives a lot of tips on how to study for the exam.
Do not take her, very inconsiderate as a prof. Doesnt explain anything if you ask her
You can go to her after class for help shell be there but shes really no help in class
EASIEST LECTURE IN YORK. PERKS OF BEING AT YORK.
Don't take her she's very inconsiderate, asks you why you don't know something if you ask a question
By far one of my favorite professors at Schulich. Is extremely down to earth and provides assistance whenever needed. She's made the hardest courses easy and fun. Negative comments made against this professor are clearly by people receiving C's and D's for the lack of effort on their own part.
My 2nd time taking the course, and have to say that her teaching style really worked for me. Her lectures are great because she summarizes her slides very well to make sure you understand the main concepts and her booklets are a great guide to how to solve the practice questions. Overall, very caring prof, would gladly take a course from her again.
Doesnt actually help you with concepts youre strugglung with even if you go ask her
Literally one of the best profs at Schulich. Teaches in an incredibly clear manner, in-class examples help you thoroughly for the exam. Caring, and even got us the textbook solutions. Made me want to specialize in omis. 10/10 would take her again
Shes clear with the way she speaks unlike a lot of stats profs at schulich but really inflexible in her ways if you genuinely need help to do well youre on your own
She is literally my fav prof at Schulich, who is definitely the best prof for first and second year stats. She explains everything very clearly, and her lectures are ordered well. I highly doubt those who gave her a low mark never went to lectures, cuz this course is truly not hard.
Although Statistics is a generally tougher course, Hila did her best to ensure that each student who came to class was more than prepared for the examinations. She honestly cares about the students and goes above and beyond to explain difficult concepts.
Best prof at schulich, she is your best chance at doing well in Statistics
concepts were easy to understand but were taught in a very confusing way. got an A+ and only went to bootcamp classes. midterm was BRUTAL (questions were easy but not enough time - avg was like a 50). she said final will be extremely easy and everyone will end with 100s on the exam but the average was 78. there was a bell curve, which saved me!
I still remember the time when our classroom would get FILLED by students from other sections. She is one of the few instructors that has concepts mapped out and she is very knowledgable. As I am good at stats already I found the course easy, but according to others, they liked her lectures no matter their preferences of the course content itself.
she is good for omis but pretty bad for stats tbh
She tries to help you and stuff but if you ask about a concept youre unclear of after learning from the PowerPoint shell just refer you back to the PowerPoint
She's not pleasant to deal with. She never seems to know the answers to questions you ask, and always refers you to her "slides". She makes many mistakes in lecture. Further, assignments are not based on lecture material, test questions are pulled out of thin air. Not recommended!!!
Amazing
Don't know how anyone gave her less than a 4.0
Best professor I've ever had
She is the bestttttt
She goes through examples with you to ensure you understand the concepts. She is amazing, I hope to have her every year
hila is the best prof hands down
Really horrible experience with this professor. Doesn't explain things, and students only like her because she literally hands out free marks, but, you don't learn anything in the process.
don't what the person below this is talking about. hila is the best professor schulich has ever seen and this school needs more like her.
No clue what some reviewers are talking about. She makes lectures engaging, answers questions without judgement, grades fairly and is honestly like a mom. Ive chosen my classes so ill be in her class for my third time. I wish more of my professors were like her. She does participation, so expect to come to class if you want a good grade.
cares more about her students than most students care about themselves. best prof ever.
Really love hila's videos for omis. She really cares about her students and it's so obvious. She doesn't sugar-coat things and just gets straight to the point. Everyone loves Hila tbh
She asked students in our section to fill out good reviews for her on RateMyProfessors to counter the bad reviews that students left. I can't believe students are so obsessed with good grades that they would do this. People only like her because she gives out easy marks, her courses don't actually explain anything. She's rude and dismissive.
Went to my stats lecture for participation and then Hila's to actually LEARN. Ditch the textbook; it's missing info. Seriously all that you need WILL be on her slides and if you pair it with Stats Prep I/II, you'll be golden. She gives handouts with past exam questions and goes through them with you, flow charts, some practice m/c, etc. The Best!!
Hila really cares about her students. Her handouts are the best.
uses simple handouts and sticks to class material. doesnt go off topic and lectures always end early. Explains topics very clearly makes subject easy. everyone wants her class.
Students only like her because she gives easy marks. Very few students when moving to third year and beyond are able to apply what she actually teaches to more advanced courses, because you don't learn anything in her courses. She also doesn't fully understand the material she teaches, just regurgitation of memorized facts.
Anyone who has left a poor review is most likely just frustrated that they got a poor mark, and probably didn't put enough effort into the course. Hila is a great instructor that is more than willing to help out her students. She gives in-class worksheets to help with the learning process as well. Amazing instructor!
Not even a hard marker. She gives feedback. Please just practice and you will get an easy A+.
Best prof for stats and OMIS. Read the textbook, come to her class, and do practice questions and you can get an A or A+. She was able to explain concepts and patiently answered MANY questions from students.
I was expecting her to be horrible based on past reviews. But I was mistaken! She's a great prof. Her explanations are easy to understand. But of course, you have to put in extra effort for the A/A+. You need to make sure you're familiar with the questions and be quick to match them to the right formulas during the tests.
Honestly, she's not very good. Ask the majority of graduates from her course on whether they actually understood anything she taught, and the answer will be no, which doesn't serve us well for upper-year courses. The course is just memorizing and regurgitating to an easy A. Not real understanding of the course material.
Honestly, one of my favourite profs so far. Lectures can be a bit boring and confusing tbh but the way she teaches/explains, she definitely cares about students and their learning. Sweet person and will always be there if you need extra help.
*This is for OMIS 2050* One of the most overrated Profs at Schulich. While she is very friendly and easily accessible, her lectures are boring and long (impossible not to fall asleep). The weekly quizzes (reinforcements) are always trying to trick you for no reason.
Lectures are boring because OMIS as a subject is boring. She is the best prof for this course + highly popular, so be sure to enrol in her class asap
Professor Hila is amazing. She is kind and has engaging lectures. If you listen in class, practice a bit, you'll do great! LOVE HER
Fun lectures, much better than the other options. As long as you master the skills taught in class you'll do okay. Lots of content that is not needed imo, but not the fault of the professor
Amazing prof. Explains concepts clearly and takes time with lectures. Makes them fun through handouts and has unique activities to make concepts memorable as well as short-cuts and tips and tricks for questions.. 10000% get her if you can: she is VERY popular for OMIS. Just use her slides to study off of, DO NOT bother/buy the textbook!
Unpleasant experience for student, rude as well
Hila is genuinely incredible. She went out of her way to restructure the course to make it better for the students. You can tell how much she genuinely cares about the students and their performance. Also, always helpful if you have questions, whether it's about the course material or about the format of the assessments.
Hila is amazing. The lectures were so helpful when it came to weekly assignments. As long as you attend the lectures, have an excel workbook with all the formulas, and study the slides, you're good. The textbook is a waste of money.
Hila is a genuinely caring and compassionate prof. She takes her time to explain topics clearly in lectures and always with a smile. She took time to answer questions in and out of class. The overall course can be hard for some people, especially if they lack math and/or excel skills, but in terms of the prof herself, Hila will help you succeed.
Hila is amazing. I had her for both OMIS1050 and OMIS2050. She definitely knows her stuff. It was very difficult content to learn and study for but I don't blame it on her because she is a queen.
So, the reviews below, the instructor is writing herself to boost her reviews. Second, she doesn't teach anything of substance, and all very easy material. You won't be able to carry anything you learn in her courses forward in future years.
