she's so sweet .. and very encouraging and helpful ..
Excellent prof, interesting lectures, brings in own experiences, very helpful
She's very helpful. One of the best profs.
very interesting class though same as adms1000. Great international experience and cool dresser!
excellent prof!!! Good at getting the class involved in discussions..
Amazing professor very helpful and she actually can teach unlike some Professors at York.
beyond amazing very fair soooo cool to talk to one on one...she is beyond the best ADMS1000 prof..get her for sure her powerpoint and her own experiences bring so much to the class
her class wont be boring
Excellent teacher, very nice and easy, very helpful. Wish she was teaching more courses. Best teacher.RECOMMENDED!!
she's a great teacher! very nice and clarity! won't let u wanna quit and sleep!
she may be nice but all she does is literally tell the class that they won't have time to finish their exams because the questions just require way too much info. The midterms are ridiculous and don't be fooled by open book midterms. This class needs to be re-evaluated
Had to respond to lame comments about midterm. Lots of time to complete each portion of open book exam, if you weren't choosing that moment to read text for first time. Knows her stuff, clearly articulates expectations, demanding and very helpful.
Very nice, cares about the sucess of her students. Classes are insightful and worth while. Relates most of the material to her experience in Indonesia and Austrailia. Manage time during essay accordingly because every minute counts and the questions take time.
Dr. Richardson is a great teacher. She takes the time to clearly explain the course material, and she is open to all student comments. She encourages class discussions which aid in the learning process.
the exams require too much information for the time allocated.
Overall teaching is good. But although you may include everything you know about the material on the midterm and final exams, you always find that you missed something that she was looking for and marks suffer a LOT because of that.
Her experience in the business world leads to interesting stories and real world application of theory. Very clear about expectations, even if they were sometimes too high. Overall, very respectable proffesor.
She's so responsible but she's kind of strict.
Great Prof. Good Lecture and great explaination of each case and she is being helpful to students. Easy markers and having a great fun in the class. Case Questions of midterm and final is easy and pretty straight forward just read your text and understand and go for her class...
she is the best... her experiences in real world business add a wealth of information to this class...really enjoyed taking this class with her. pay attention to wat she sayz and youll do great!its all about application
She is sooooooooooo funny!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can not begin to tell you. She is like WOW! Must have her!
Very clear I must say, easy going, explains very well. You wanna take this course, take it with her.
Awsome teacher...explains well...teachers what needs to be taught plus examples to help understand better! Go dr. Richardson : )
she is the best. a teacher like her will be a gift for the students. explains clearly & gives examples.
I just loved this proff. Having her as a teacher will honestly help you learn better. TAKE HER TAKE HER TAKE HER it'll help u
Great teacher, made the class very enjoyable!! Was very knowledgable about her topics, always made sure the class was involved in her lectures! Was always able to answer any questions, and gave everyone a chance. I would recommend her to anyone, for any course!!
Pretty good, clear, helpful, positive and enthusiastic.
One of the best teachers i had at York...She is very helpfull..and whatever she teaches is always clear..you can easily understand what she's trying to explain...A very good prof but her T.A's marking is a bit strick but if your not satisfied with your marks you can always go to her and have a re-check and most of the times she increses your marks.
She's an AMAZING prof. Really dedicated in her work and really tries hard to help students grasp concepts. Welcomes class participation and gets to know names. Tells you exactly what to expect on the exams and is a very fair marker. Has interesting stories to tell.
Amazing teacher for sure. The mid-term was sooo easy because of her easy marking. She always explains the important aspects of the class; and always listen when she says this is a major component of the exam because it will be. She basically outlines the exams for you. It makes sense because why study something that she feels isn't important!
Actually she is the one that told us about this site, lol, she is really cool! love her class so much!! super funny!!! hope the coming exams will be easy =P
i had a great time in this class and really enjoy the prof, i recommend to everyone to take her class her teaching methods really make a person want to work and the vidoes which she shows in her classes are funny and effective.
currently enrolled in this profs class. so far she seems REAL cool. i enjoy being in her class, she's real clear in her explainations. always fun to see videos in her class as well. also, she's got such a nice smile and i noticed her ring finger free...*wink wink* haha..u can tell she works out too!! a pleasure to listen to.
great pro..all profs should teach like her..interesting class.
The "BEST Prof" I ever had! She remembers ur name, which makes u feel important. She’s VERY Clear! VERY HELPFUL! Always willing to help! I E-mailed her & got response asap!!! She loves to teach. Just got my midterm back, got B, so I'm very happy to be in her class!! :D She is funny, so you wont get bored. She makes the course interesting!!
An incredible Professor. She really is one of the best teachers I have ever had!
WOW, that sums up of how much of an AMAZING prof she is! I had a blast in this course from DAY1!! She is soo helpful, Extreamely nice, super clear in her classes, tells you exactly whast going to be on the exam and what to be prepared for. Whenever I emailed her, i got a response back right away! I hope to take mor eof her classes in the future! O
opps last one was supposed to be 1000 not 1010.. o and it cut me off LOL. On topa that yes no ring finger! Guys she still single! I know i cant belive it either :p! Anways shes really flexiable, and an amazing prof! The course is really interesting too, always enjoyed attending lects, and learning about the course. LOVE YOU MISS R! (shes reading!)
Really nice woman! really helpful if you meet up with her...knows everyone's name.......attend class, make notes, participate and u'll do amazing
Really great prof! If you are willing to work hard, she will help you. She is quick to respond to her e-mails and the best thing is she will know your name! Makes you feel like a person instead of a number!
Good Prof. especially for the case study skill. Great.
Let me tell you the truth! she loves to teach!!! i e-mailed her today and i wanted her to know how much she helped me to achieve my goal but i didn't b/c she's ethical/fair & i dont want her to get the idea that i said it b/c i want higher grade in the exam but HONESTY I LOVEEE HER for who she's!!! BEST PROF IN MY LIFE!!! SHE LOVES TO TEACH!!! BEST
THE BEST PROFF AT YORK!! She is truly an admirable woman. This was the one class that i actually enjoyed going to. She is simply just amazing. She helps all her students out and addresses any concerns you have. OH and not to mention a great sense of humour. Truly an illustration of the an ideal prof.
she's so clear and concise. helps in preparation for exams and gives good guidelines and suggestions. Engages class into intellectual discourse and is up to date on business in the current context
Really helpful prof! Best one i've had so far! Very clear with her expectations for exam. CASE STUDY is very important as well definitions. Very fair!
By far the best professor I've had to date. Runs the whole lecture by asking questions that naturally segway into the next topic. Absolutely dynamite. She also lays down the law that people are not to have their cells ringing off, or to be chatting throughout the lesson. Created a focused, fast paced, entertaining, and learning atmosphere. A+
she knows her stuff..very helpful! makes things fairly interesting at times but BEWARE of midterm!! she claimed she doesnt believe in bell curving and she will give a fair mark but that is not the case. class avg is like a C, an i actually did try too! not just me alone, my friends thought so too.
This prof is amazing, she is very helpful and understanding. Make sure you pay attention to case studies! Her lecture style is good, she makes it fun and her accent adds to it. Probably the best prof at York!
Very good and helpful. Best prof i kno so far
She's funny but too bad comedies won't get you an A. Hard marker!
Simply amazing prof. Interesting lectures. Fair marker, very clear about her requirements. I wish York had more profs like prof Richardson! Always attend her lectures, you will really enjoy them!
The absolute best professor I've had at York thus far. She's got a great passion for teaching and she's just a genuinely sweet and caring person overall. Classes are never boring and she really does bring a lot to her lectures by recalling her past experiences in the work force. A+ :)
She is awsome!!!!!!!!She's soooo smart and is eager to teach her students what she knows...If you need to take ADMS 2400, take it with Julia!!!!
By far one of the best professor's at York. She's very clear and help's you understand easily during lectures. She tells you exactly what she expects and goes through many examples to help you. A plus is that her accent adds to it making the lectures more enjoyable! Don't hesitate taking her classes, her marking may be tough but you learn a lot!
This teacher yelled at me and pointed me out in the middle of class in my FIRST university class EVER.... IF she reads this comment she probally still remembs who i am... Even though she yelled at me, i gotta say... she's one hell of a teacher. She made class interesting, BUT she is a hard marker...
Nice prof., but needs to mark needs to mark a little less harder on exams, exams are not mp choice, Canada is a new country and York is a multi-cultural University, there are a lot of people whos english is not their first language. :) stil an amaizing prof.
awsome
An amazing Prof! I have learned so much from this course and it has changed how I view the world. She is professional, knowledgeable, and funny. Her teaching style made what would have been a dry subject very interesting! If only all professors could be like her!
She's great, really sweet, willing to help, goes the extra mile, a fantastic teacher. WARNING: go to class. If you don't you will do very poorly on the exams. The exams are killer as they have very specific demands as to HOW to write them. So listen carefully in class and ask if you need clarification. Julia will help you out, she rocks!!! :D
A double edged sword here. Sort of a bird course (for 3rd and 4th years). On one hand, she comes across very nice and is very thorough with what she does. She makes it so that you can understand it all without reading the book. With that said, while the content isnt hard, you have to be very specific come the final, and know every minor detail.
totally understanding , she explained very well about the methods to answering questions in exams,and shows lot of examples to help you improve your grade
This Prof. has mastered the art in gaining ones interest and maintain it. She has put the true meaning back into teaching. Go to her class she has depth and her lectures will provide substances that you need in your daily working life.
She is a great and a professional teacher. Always helpful.
Hard to understand her expectations. Her accent makes it even tougher. She is helpfull but she needs a vacation and TA's.

Not impressed. Prepared class for midterm, but ambigious for the finals. Made my mark drop... Try Len instead.
She is the best Prof. If you take her class you should treat her with respect b/c she is the best Prof you will ever get. She is never to busy to help you and will always take an interest in all her students. Make sure you go to her lectures. Makes learning fun!
she is just greatest prof i have ever see
good teacher but midterms are way too time consuming...your marks depends on if u can write really fast...try len
Worst teacher ever! I don't know how anyone could like her. Her and her markers do not know how to mark fairly especially considering the expectations.
SHES SOOO CUTE! SO PRETTY! .. I LIKED HER CLASSES... BUT IF U MISS A CLASS.. IT'S NOT GOOD. SHE ALWAYS TALKS ABOUT WHAT WILL BE ON THE EXAM.. AND WHAT U NEED TO KNOW. SHE IS AWESOMEEEEEEEEE BEST PROF.
Awesome lady!! shes an inspiration, great personality, keeps you engaged the entire class, she talks to the class instead of lecturing to the class. A bit to much was expected from Mid Term, be prepared to write A LOT.
Awesome lady!! shes an inspiration, great personality, keeps you engaged the entire class, she talks to the class instead of lecturing to the class. A bit to much was expected from Mid Term, be prepared to write A LOT. 60% final exam! :(
She admits the marking is hard for the course. But for ADMS1000 she is simply the best prof!!! Very helpful. Attend her lectures. Do not talk while she is lecturing. Pay attention to her lectures and you will do just fine.
she is k...marks really hard but very clearly to understand
Very good prof! Your best bet for this course is to take it with her! this way course become really interesting. She expect a lot for the mid term, but prepares you really well for the final (60%). Inspiring, enthusiastic and very interesting!
Julia really made first year easy for me. She's willing to go that extra mile to help students understand the material & is VERY clear about her expectations on exams. Tip: attend lectures so you understand how to do the case studies. Julia also takes the time to learn her students' names, which goes to show what a sweet lady she is :)
Fantasic professor. If you are in University to actually learn, then you must take this course with her. She made the course interesting and fun. Plus her international experience is a definite bonus, because it gives you the applicability and reality that is sometimes lacking in these theory courses. Having her as a prof is a gift.
excelent prof. wanna a great mark?? take 2400 with her. she's extremely helpful, clear,easy-going, punctual. attend her classes and you'll a great mark easily.
The best prof at York University ! i love her .. adms 1000 was the best class ever !!!
The best professor at York, no comparisons. A true mentor, will support her students and really cares that you succeed, VERY helpful. She is incredibly interesting and gives you real world case studies. She tells you everything you need to study prior to the exams.
BEST PROFESSOR AT YORK. I failed the midterm...but aced the final thanks to her help. God Bless the richardson family, Amen.
DR RICHARDSON IS THE BEST PROF AT YORK. She's so helpful when you need it, and accessible too! If you suck at writing, just make an appointment with her, and she'll sit down and discuss where you can improve. She's a fair marker. Study the content of her slides thoroughly... and she'll tell you exactly what to expect on the exam!
One of the best profs at York. She seems really passionate about her work and it shows in the quality of the classes
An amazing prof at York. I wish she could teach all the ADMS courses. She is so interesting that you'll never get bored even if the lecture was more than 3 hours. I totally recommend taking her for your classes if possible. She is so helpful and down to earth person. Though, she don'like late comers. But, overall best prof at york. God bless her!
Very interesting prof. Inspires you to do something with your life. Classes are very enjoyale. Fair marker.
Amazing professor. Very passionate about the subject she teaches. Enjoyable classes. Fair marker. Very helpful. Tells you EXACTLY what to expect on the exam. Inspiring teacher.
one of the best professor that i ever had, very passionate about teaching and very helpful, indirectly she will give you answers to exam questions. i wish i have more classes with her :)
The best professor at York University. I actually loved her class and she is very helpful. You respect her, she will respect you. DO NOT BE LATE FOR CLASS, SHE HATES WHEN YOU ARE LATE. I don't blame her! I wish many other professor are as interactive as she is.
A+ teacher and a person! Passionate, knowledgeful and considerate of academic & real world, clear in her expectations, easily approachable, assesment is well thought through. I worked hardest in her course because she hooked me to it and because I didn't want to disappoint someone I respected and liked. Highly recommended!
The best prof you can get at york. Attend the lecture and pay attention, you will do good! She is very clear about what she is looking for and I love that she made an effort to remember your name. Midterm and final are open book but there's no time for that, so make sure you read it if you aiming for an A.
Aside from being a good educator, prof, mentor, whatever, I want to mention one thing I have never mentioned about the other "good" profs I've had. Julia is INTELLIGENT. I'm not talking about 15 years work experience, PhD, knowledgeable, etc. Let's just say she has a huge intellectual capacity. She is not a drone-professor.
She's very helpful, clear, concise and brings a breadth of knowledge that exceeds the slides, text and notes. However, she really needs to stop treating her students like they're in grade school. People arrive late; it's a fact of life. Stop humiliating them in front of everyone else. Further, let us use laptops for those who want to take in more.
She is EXTREMELY helpful,best of the best prof that you can get at york. I studied so hard for this course because she tried to do her best to help me to get a good grade. She is very intelligent, treats every student with respect. If you need to take 2400, go take with her!!!
It's not easy to get an A in her class. Highly recommend practicing case studies with her as many as you can if you are not good at case study. Practice it each week, which improve your marks and see her comments to know what she wants you to do in the case. She asks almost same Qs on exams as you do in classes. Without any doubt, she is the BEST.
She is a good prof though but you can hardly get an B.
No words can describe this professor. She's one of the most helpful professors at York! Great personality and makes everything interesting. Definitely one of the best profs at York
She is amazing. Best prof ever. You going to love her and his teaching method. One of the best prof in York. Lovely lady. Explain to you every thing so well that you just remember what she said in the exam.
Loved this prof! she was so helpful and kept her lectures interesting. Exams are hard!! not easy to get a good grade. But she really tries to help her students
No words can describe how amazing Dr. Julia is! Definitely one of the best professors at York, so helpful and nice. Her lectures are so interesting and man do i love the accent! She tries to get to know you by name which I loved. Tries to engage everyone in the discussions & that was very helpful in improving the experience
The most engaging and sociable professor I've had so far. She has a weekly case study which looks a lot like an actual exam question. Cases aren't an easy A or A+, but those who try them in class get them. I worried about her no laptop or lateness policy before enrolling, but I forgot about all of that when I sat down! Go have fun in this class!
Getting a good mark will not be easy, but that is not the distinction of a good teacher. Julia Richardson makes her classes interactive, you're not stuck with Scantron (multiple choice). Do your readings and participate.
Best Prof you can ever asked for! It's not an easy course but you learn a lot! She is dedicated and very helpful! You will get much more out of the course and consider yourself to be VERY lucky if you have her as your prof!
What to say, everyone commented below answers your questions! She is just awesome, be sure to attend all the classes till end, then there will be no surprise in exams. Plus you get 60% prepared for exams ahead. Very funny and helpful person, I am obsessed with her personality, teaching method and everything!
Professor Richardson is amazing. She brings to class her international experiences and does a thorough job explain concepts. Her classes are fun and interesting! You will do well and learn a lot. Just attend the lectures and be on time.
An Asset to York University
One of my favourite profs. She is a very fair professor and cares about her students doing the best they can. Class is 40/60 with only a midterm and a final. Attending her lectures was always intersting and her accent is lovely. Take this course with Julia!!
Class beings with her going through the lecture slides then answering a practice question each week to prepare for what is expected on exams. I really recommend going just for these questions because if you only read the slides and know how to collect your ideas and answer properly then you'll excel without having to read the textbook. Exams = easy
Excellent professor, fair and easy exams, lectures are interesting and important, going to class is more crucial than having the textbook, in this course the textbook is basically useless, study her ppt
If you are taking ADMS2400...and its not with Dr.Richardson, you must be a sick human.....you will NOT find a better professor, you can bet your bottom dollar.
This is an amazing prof. You dont even need the textbook! Print out the lecture slides, go to her class, listen and take additional notes. Also stay for when she does the practice questions and i gaurenttee you do very well. She explains the concept very clearly
Amazinggg prof! Her lectures are super simple and clear (on top of which she has the sexiest accent)and if you go to her lectures and review her slides you'll ace her exams. I only used the textbook for guide. Take notes when she takes up cases because similar ones come up in the exam. Follow her general steps for the cases and you'll do great!
BEST thing that ever happened to York. Ask anyone she''s truly something else.
Julia was easily the standout educator on the international MBA at the University of Otago. Starting with her in the first week I wondered if all the professors would be as good - no such luck. She is a real professional - takes great care with presentations, covers exactly the material she says she will and keeps the class tightly on track.
BEST PROF EVER!! I wish every prof was just like her. Truly cares about her students. She deserves a million awards. Really takes her time in delivering course material. I learned a lot from her.
Very informative, motivating and fun lectures. It's extremely important that you don't memorize the material. Instead try and understand the material. Primarily because Professor Richardson expects you to be able to apply course concepts and theories on the exam, real life and final assignment. Overall, was not an easy course.
Very informative, motivating and fun lectures. It's extremely important that you don't memorize the material. Instead try and understand the material. So you can apply it on the exam, real life and final assignment. Do not come late to class. Don't use your cellphones in class either (you'll get called out). Overall, was not an easy course.
I have known Julia for 26 years and I can say that she is even more amazing as a teacher now than when she was on the Silverback Lamination Processor Programme in Sheffield , England.
Best prof i have ever met at york. very helpful . She replies to your emails ASAP. If you want to go for a good grade try writing your own answers to a case and sending her to check it out, she loves it and will give you a valuable feedback on your answers. Her class was never boring and she has a good sense of humor. She uses good examples too.
Dr. Richardson is one of the best professors at York! She is energetic and enthusiastic in her lectures, clearly explains concepts and doesn't ever surprise her students with exams (she tests what she teaches, no hidden questions). The exams are tough though, especially how they are graded. You need to really know the material and apply yourself.
Professor Richardson is such a great teacher and person. She is very likable and approachable during class or outside of class. It's great since she really enjoys the classes she teaches and lectures are always fun and enthusiastic. Very clear material presentation as well. Saying that, she is a tough marker so get ready to work a lot
amazing! go see for yourself! really cares about the students learning!
Super amazing professor that I have met in York. Her class is really straight forward and easy understanding. The explanation and the examples are related to our life and make sense. She is really nice and partient in answering your questions. Super fantastic professor. Love her so much!! Really need to take her course.
Unbelievable Prof. My favourite at York so far. You'll never be bored in class as she always keeps things interesting. Will remember the names of everyone in class by talking to you once, its amazing. Course is heavy, but she gives u a clear general idea for the tests. Memorize and apply. No need for textbooks. Study her slides
Pro Julia is an amazing pro, her lecture will provide exercise after each class and do it with students together. We all well understand the lecture. If you come to the class, you will sure what kind of question she is going to give in the final. She is the one provide exercise at the end of class. I am glad to take the lecture with such great pro.
Amazing Professour! She cares about her students and makes an effort to learn each students name. You do not need the textbook. If you hate reading the textbook like me, she is the best professour for this course. She teaches the course better than the textbook in my opinion. She makes hard concepts very easy to understand.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
Amazing prof. No surprises on any exams. Go to class and follow her slides, make sure to write down anything that isn't on the slides when shes talking so you don't have to read the book ;)
Absolutely LOVED this prof! I learned a lot in this course, although it wasn't easy. Her lectures are engaging, motivating, and funny! She's a fair marker but you really have to understand the material and apply it to get an A, not just memorize text. She's also approachable and caring towards her students. I wish all profs were more like her!!
she is really a great prof really helpfull
Really awesome prof who is engaging and very helpful. Her exams are not difficult, but you have to pretty well versed on the subject matter, as they only consist of long essay questions. If you keep up with the readings and study regularly, it could be an easy A.
Very clear while teaching and tells you exactly what she is looking for on the midterm and final exam answers. You need to go to class and do your readings in order to be prepared the midterm. If you go to class and participate and try to understand the material it is an easy A.
best professor ever, care about student and interesting teaching
Simply the best professor at York University, pity she wasn't teaching in Fall 2016. Not only will you learn a lot from her lectures but you'll actually enjoy going to class because of her. ADMS 4421 is a useful interesting but challenging course so don't expect an easy A. As for adms240o0, your prof never marks your paper, another prof does!
She is very open to ideas, but she gets carried away often by what some student is saying. So the whole class gets to listen to one student's random thoughts for 20mins. Other than that she is nice and open-minded.
Makes you work on tons of papers with blurry guidelines. After handing our term project back, she lowered the grade for not including one major point, but it was righf there highlighted in bold!
