She was a great and nice prof. She's really into feminism in academics and we all found that to be interesting. Would recommend!

Loved her!

she is average

I really enjoy her teaching style, i think she is wonderful! her teaching methods are a different but its nice for a change to see a different teaching method, and you can tell she really truely enjoys what she does! Definatly reccomend

She's smart. If you truly, want to be a better writer take her class.(narrative & research) She's not an easy marker, but she's not impossible either. She commands respect in class--NO TALKING ; )

Absolutely loved her. She was very intelligent and brought new ideas to the class. Taught very much needed information that should be taught more often. Not as scary as people make her sound, actually really down to earth.

I don't know what you are all getting in such a fuss about. She's great. She challenges you and she is serious. If you want an easy grade go elsewhere. But if you want to learn, she's smart and is an amazing teacher. Not hard on the eyes either.

Tough but fair. She is a knowledgeable feminist who does not put up with crap in the classroom. She cares about womyn as a class and it shows in her teaching. She's tough but if you don't want to do work, get out of university. She has a zero tolerance for BS, i recommend her class for serious feminists.

An excellent teacher. She marks hard, but she is fair. Attend class, listen, and participate, then you will get an A. As for personality, she is very nice, and stops to talk to me even though I am finished with her class. Recommended.

Laura is one of the best profs I have ever had, but do not take her course unless you are interested in the topic and willing to WORK for the grade. She can come across a bit brash, but she is a great person, who I really admire. I took her women and aging course a few years ago, and I have never had a prof I learnt so much from.

Laura is a hard marker but as long as you attend class and are respectful when she's teaching then you'll do fine. Great class and I would highly recommend it.

A+ Prof is organized and clear! Cool course and topics and assignments. But you have to work hard and MUST think critically. Show up, do the readings and speak up in class and see her during office hours. Totally helpful if you ask

I didn't think the course would be so interesting. Laura has a really good way to connect theory to the real world and is easy going. She does not give away an A easily but she gives you everything she can to make this possible. Recommend!

This is a class that will teach you something about your world. No textbooks or dry power point lectures, Laura gets straight to the heart of an issue and explores it thoroughly. Show up, pay attention and contribute occasionally and you'll do fine. Not just for women either!

Laura is great! No, it's not an easy mark, but we pay a lot for our education so we might as well learn while we're there! The topics are interesting and I find her very approachable.

Loved this prof and the class! Taking another one next semester!

Laura is great! There are only 5ish assignments and papers through the whole semester (including the final and midterm). The project and papers she assigns are fun and engaging. This is NOT a boring class. She makes the class into a little community. She is one of my favourite professors. If you work hard and show enthusiasm you will do really well

I had to take this Tech writing and thought I'd hate it. Can't say I loved it but Laura was great. She is real and down to earth. She made the course about everyone's personal career interests in a really cool way. She's not easy on grading but she gives 100% before any assignment and helps during office hours.

LOVED Laura and this course. Learned a lot and also how to write better essays. HATED the 8 am class time.

I took Lauras English class and thought she was amazing. She is extremely clear as to what she wants, and offered in class help TWICE for essays and annotated bibliographies where she basically rewrote what you had done. She is completely fair in how she marks as well. I saw my english GREATLY improve. Show up to class and you'll great

Laura is brilliant! As a 4th year SLGY major with an 'A' focus--GPA of 3.95 --I still learned so much from this class. Laura is a wonderful personable academic coach. The 'A'earned in this class is due to her inspiration and coaching that will apply in many areas of life. It is amazing to see feminist pedagogy at work. MRU is lucky to have her

Laura is a wonderful prof. She offers help and makes sure she is available if you need her. Very quick with responding to emails & crystal clear in what she expects from you. Come to class, participate, and do the work and you're guaranteed an A!

She is really clear on everything and she is an easy grader. assignments are fairly easy. However, if you miss 3 classes or more, you will fail. She is huge on participation and respect. Doesn't get mad if you're late, however it will affect your participation grade that is worth 5%. nice but likes to text during class and you can hear her phone

you have to work in this class for a GNED but it's worth it!

Laura is one of the most inspiring profs I have had so far at MRU. She is very kind and her approach to teaching is great, her lectures are inspiring and as long as you get involved in what she is teaching and you have a passion for equality and what is going on in the world you will ace this class!

She is super nice, and her lectures aren't boring. Super informative in everything she teaches. Would definitely take any of her classes again. Can be a hard marker, but there are a ton of assignments to make up for any loss marks.

I've had Laura Twice for various women studies course. She is a phenomenal Professor, and classes are always interesting. She is probably one of my favourite professors on campus. She is extremely respectful and creates a great class dialogue. Even though she has like a million students, she's always tries to remember your name.

She's well open to various opinions. She's a grammar fanatic so your papers will have lots of grammatical correction. She took the time to ask if things were okay with me when I got a lower mark on an easy paper - I read the instructions wrong. She's awesome and very kind. Her papers aren't difficult at all especially since the class is simple.

Took her english 30 class. Improved my grammar & essay writing skills greatly. Just show up for class, pay attention, don't try to argue with her and you will do good. She keeps the class pretty interesting and is a nice person overall.

Laura is the sweetest. Participation is important and is nice because she is engaging and kind - she answers and looks up extra, out of course content, if it arises. She offered a lot of feedback on papers and wrote her own ideas and extra information about the topic too! After one class, we still stop and chat quite often.

I took Laura's class in the spring. Even though I only spent 2 months with her, I would definitely take her during the semesters. She is an amazing prof and the topics she brings up really brings out awareness and makes you think about your everyday life. She takes the time to explain everything clearly and cares about your learning.

Laura is absolutely amazing. all you have to do is contribute to conversation and be engaged. She is always willing to help when needed.

Laura is the best prof I've ever had. Her lectures were incredible and I really enjoyed getting to know her on a personal level too. She is such a caring, intelligent and insightful person. She really pushed me to believe in myself and do well. Honestly, she showed me I am capable of doing well in University. Such an inspiration. I owe her a lot.

Laura is honestly a very sweet person and I found her to be easily approachable. The only downside is that her grading criteria of what she expects on papers is suuuper unclear and she tends to come a little unprepared some days. Overall I did enjoy her as a professor just get ready for a lot of papers

Took writing about images with Laura. I personally found lectures to be very interesting and would learn something new every class! Essays were easy and the final is take home! VERY VERY little homework!

I have had 3 courses with Laura during my time at MRU and she is honestly one of the best profs I've had. She provides you with good feedback on assignments and is extremely approachable when you need help on anything. She respects the opinions that are shared in the class while giving her own interpretations. I would take another course with her!

Participate. Well rounded midterm. Oral presentation. Take home final. Those are the biggies but this class is awesome. Second time with this instructor. She puts together really interesting content. Much info on feminism, gender, indigenous studies, and political massacres. Marking is meaningful but can be unclear. Sometimes class can drag.

Laura takes a while to warm up to, but by the second week you will have a solid understanding of her expectations and teaching styles. I enjoyed her class and the assignment were fairly marked and thought provoking. I would taker another class with her in a heartbeat.

Laura is an amazing prof and an truly genuine person. Her marking is average, not harsh and she provides excellent feedback to ensure success in future assignments. Super passionate and so open to discussion that encourages learning. She wants her students to succeed. Extraordinary considerate of student stress.

I like Laura, this was my second time taking a course with her. One thing I noticed is that she has a pretty similar outline when it comes to projects and assignments in her classes. To do well in her classes you should read the assigned readings, attend class, and ask her for help or clarification when needed. She will take the time to help you!

Great prof, just takes a little time to figure out re: marking style. Harder than her Intro to WGST, as she expected us to make feminist connections instead of spelling it out for us. Offered APA/style corrections on my essays re: things other profs have never noticed, which I found really helpful. Attendance matters, takes participation seriously.

Laura is the most caring professor I know! Her lectures are interesting and she allows you to share your opinion. Shes passionate and truly inspiring! Definitely the best WGST prof I know! She makes you think and you get to really dive into the subject! This is my third time taking her class! If you want an easy A, not the class for you!

I have had Laura for a few classes at MRU and she is a very fair marker and good prof, her criteria for her papers are very clear as she basically outlines what every section of the paper is supposed to be about. If you are decent at writing you will get an A for sure.

Laura was a super nice prof. The class had no real exams, just papers. She outlines exactly what she wants you to write. There were a lot of readings and documentaries to watch though. Participation marks are a part of your grade so you have to show up too. Overall, if you know what she wants you'll be fine.

Easiest class ever, she marks really easy too. Not very many assignments, and tests are pretty simple. Very straight forward guidelines for assignments, as long as you follow them you can get an easy A.

I really enjoyed this class with Laura! Decent amount of readings and doco's to watch, but if you follow her (very clear) paper instructions you shouldn't have an issue - she also gives detailed feed back. No slides, however great in-class discussions and she uploads her notes. If you show her respect it'll be reciprocated.

Laura is great. I found her lectures very inspirational and the topics covered were important. If you follow her essay instructions carefully you will do well however, I did find her a bit strict with grading. She does notice grammar and grades heavily on clarity of arguments. Her lectures also require lots of critical reflection and participation.

I highly recommend Laura, she gives super clear instructions for assignments and is a fair marker. Attendance and participation is mandatory.

She was a very nice prof, but I could see that if you disagree with anything she says she would go against you, otherwise was a great prof with a lot of insightful info. Was my spring class and only had 3 essays to write, no final or midterm. This class is very interesting and we had a lot of in depth discussions. loved her assignment instructions

Laura is very sweet. I've had her for 2 classes so far and she is really good. Just show up and do your best. she tells you exactly what she expects in the assignments and exams. Just put effort! I didn't show up as much as I should have, but still ended with a B-

Really enjoyed this class! Participation was worth 10% but just showing up is not enough to do well in this area... I showed up every day and was very engaged in the lectures and discussions, but only got 8/10 marks. All other marks are papers though, which she marks fairly. Lectures are very engaging. Would recommend!

Would recommend Laura for any WGST classes. I took Women & Aging, Women & Health, and Gender & Pop. Culture with her and I found them all to be super interesting and informative. She is more on the tough side when it comes to grading papers, however, her outlines are always very clear and she provides extensive feedback!

I took WGST 1172 in Spring, I personally loved the class and Laura is a great professor. Laura is very kind and provides an excellent outline for the course. If you follow her instructions and participate you will get a good grade.

I liked Laura! She guided us through 1 (out of 2) questions on both the midterm and final in class, so it's easy to get those marks if you attend and take notes. Attendance matters--fairly easy to catch up using her notes after missing a class, but being absent tanked my participation grade. She's funny and we had lots of interesting discussions.

Great professor. People saying she's tough on attendance are just looking for an easy grade where they don't need to go to class even though they paid for it; if you don't want to go to class, don't go to university, it's not a daycare so stop being children. Respect her, pay attention, and you'll do well and be respected yourself. 9.5/10

Laura comes off as very strict but is quite kind and understanding once you get to know her. She is very strict about word counts so make sure you're following them to a tea. Overall she was a good professor just a little old school.

Laura Adamo is an amazing professor! Her lectures are interesting, and she really encourages discussion. It's always so lovely to hear so many different perspectives. Her class was engaging, and the no cell phone policy really helped with that fact. I really enjoyed this class, and she really makes everyone feel very welcome!
