Without a doubt, one of the worst professor's at Ryerson University. She's just a mean and bitter old lady who takes forever to mark anything and who is constantly complaining. Don't waste your time with this one.

Pretty much the worst prof I have ever had. She spends the entire class complaining about things she dislikes about students instead of actually teaching the class. She even complains about having to actually be there! I don't know why she is still teaching, but do yourself a favor and drop/switch out of her class, biggest waste of time!

I think shes just misunderstood. Shes just very old fasioned and likes people to be on time and respectful which is understandable. Although, I do think she should concentrate more on teaching than continuosly allowing herself to be distracted by people and giving them a speach every time. If you give her respect she'll give it back. Shes fair.

She is a very good prof. Very fair and reasonable when it comes to marking. She will challenge you to make sure you fully understand your answer, hence why she asks WHY. Enjoyed her course very much, hope she teaches other law classes. Very much recommend her as a prof worth learning from. Don't assume she is bad, find out yourself!

She can be unpredictable. one moment she's approachable and the next she's yelling at you. However she knows her stuff and is a good lawyer. attendance and reading the textbook is crucial. beware of trick questions and the exact wording on tests

Exams are easy once you get the style/pattern, she is willing to bump your marks up if you see improvement and she will adjust exam difficulty if the class is not doing well, I was getting high 60s in the first two midterms and I ended up with a B+.. She demands respect from students but she does know her stuff

She is DISRESPECTFUL & thinks every student wants to attack her when asked a question. After starting each lecture students remind her that she already taught this last class then she yells"WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME".She fails to keep track of her own lectures.Tests are fair but she takes ages to mark them.Hates people to be late & she's ALWAYS late.

Honestly this course requires a lot from you. Especially with this teacher. Just is not for the everyday average ryerson student. This class you need 2 put in a lot of work to get a decent mark. Overall she's a good prof, but if u want the marks just make sure you do all the cases in each chapter and go check ur answers with her. GOOD LUCK

This teacher prof is more than decent. You just have to go meet her half way and she is willing to help you. She has bad habits but she makes up for it with her knowledge and experience in the field. She makes more than $150,000 a year being a prof at ryerson they must pay her that much for a reason. Take her seriously and you will be fine.

A majority of the comments associated with prof Monroe have been negative, but the truth is that this is LAW, and you have to be on the ball. No matter what prof you have, I would recommend finding a study group, going to the tutorials and doing readings beforehand. Lastly, I would be willing to wager that a majority of posters have not gone to her

Teaches very interesting and practical intro law material. 90% of lecture time is her reading or elaborating on the textbook.

Professor Monro is a knowledgeable prof who gives good examples which help you understand the material. Read both her hand outs and the readings.

She is very tough in terms of tardiness, participation, and respect, but overall, she is a very knowledgable professor.
