this teacher is by far the worst professor, she is not only unapproachable but also gives useless lectures and conversates with 1 or 2 students throughout the entire class and calls it a lecture. she claims that her lectures are mandatory, but if you show up, all she does is waste time. She is rude to her students through email.

DROP HER CLASS! Linda doesn't understand that this is a first year course. Philosophy is her passion so the whole course is based on it. She gives article readings EVERY CLASS ontop of that you have to read the novel she assigns AND online quizes. The amount of effort you have to put into passing is like a 4th year course 3 hours every night.

This course has a lot of assignments and quizzes. It also requires A LOT of reading (novels, short stories, especially philosophy). She expects a lot from you. Unless you are an expert at philosophy, I would not recommend this class as this class is hard to take on with other courses.

she is a very wicked teacher, i wont advice anyone to go to her class

Besides the fact that she helps you ponder and shieet this class is B.S. I literally had to work my ass off just to pull this mark! She is ridiculous and unclear to what is expected of you to do. Claims if you visit her office you can improve on each essay, I went every essay and my mark went lower! NOT A GPA BOOSTING COURSE AVOIDAVOIDAVOID

No notes. Never returns marks. Lectures off a piece of paper. Super hard to understand and unclear in her teachings. Always all over the place in her lectures. Her tests are impossible.

Worst prof ever. AVOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This class is near impossible to do good in. Linda tends to ramble and repeat herself. Encourages students to ask questions but often avoids answering any sort of questions. Expect atleast 3 weeks to get any sort of mark back! Not a good class often leave lectures more lost and confused then when I entered. Avoid a class with Linda at all cost!

I found Linda interesting as a person. She has a lot of life experience. However as a professor she is very disorganized and unclear. Maybe its because she teaches philosophy, but She is all over the place with grading, giving assignment requirements & answering Q's. This class is too much of a gpa dropper and stressor with a full course load.

Really confusing because the class wasn't ABOUT anything. Quite boring lectures, and way more work than its worth.

Linda's expectations are unclear. Only 1 grading rubric was given all semester - was supposed to work on the assignment during reading week and it was posted the day before class resumed. Unorganized lectures, sorting through papers every class wasting lecture time. Wants an opinion as long as it coincides with hers. Unfortunate - she's passionate.

Do not take this course because this class was horrible. Too much work and she does not explain or teach the material for you to do good in the class.

Very disorganized, and all over the place especially when it comes to assignments. She'll tell you some things that need to be done for the assignment last minute like the day before it's due. Don't expect much from her when it comes to doing assignments just do the best you can but she marks super hard so be aware... avoid or expect GPA to drop.

Linda was extremely vague and very tough grading assignments that were insufficiently explained. Would not recommend!!!

Very confusing!

Linda is easily one of the worst professors I've ever had. The first 20 minutes of class are her trying to get organized. Her rubrics and assignment outlines are confusing and all over the place. She expects you to understand the philosophy she's teaching but teaches very minimal things you need to know that would be on a test. DO NOT TAKE.

This class was very difficult and Linda is the worst prof I've ever had. There is a ton of confusing and time consuming assignments that were given without clear grading rubrics. She then marks them at a high level. She expects you to understand a high level of philosophy and and wants you to participate but only if your opinions align with hers.

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS1 I read reviews saying don't take her class and I thought, how bad can she be? DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS! Doesn't teach you what she said she would, then expects you to know it for a project. EXTREMELY disorganized. Never puts your marks up until it's too late to drop the class and even then you still don't know what you have

Linda is no doubt the worst professor at Mount Royal... Boring, long lectures, she's a terrible person to approach and way too unorganized to give any sort of clear instructions for the endless assignments she gives. Do yourself a favor and don't take her.

Easily one of the worst professors I have ever had. Boring, dry, unorganized lectures. She is the worst. I highly recommend NOT taking any of her classes because she is not good. Assignments didn't make sense, and because her lectures were awful you had no idea how to do anything. I'm usually really good with wanting to go to class, but not hers.

Linda was one of the worst profs I have had. She did not explain anything properly. She is very scatter brain and jumps from topic to topic all the time. She gives way too many assignments for the class that require a significant amount of work and time. We also had to read about 4 books including a lot of platos work which is definite a hard read.

There are just so many assignments! She spent little time explaining the "Republic" but rather talks about assignments every single class. Students end up with little understanding with vague and unorganized instructions. I highly suggest that you avoid this class unless you want to do assignments every single week LOL

Neilson showed up 10 minutes late on the first day of class. She is scatter-brained & gets defensive when you confront her about her notes for not understanding it. I don't doubt that she knows what she is doing but the way she's approached her lecture is confusing. She will also call you out on not being "creative" enough. Don't take her class.

Neilson is very unorganized. Her notes are all over the place and hard to read (even she has a tough time looking for her own notes). Her syllabus is useless. Way too many assignments for a GenEd. She doesn't care if you have a lot of homework piled on, she won't extend. You've got to be dying for her to be a little lenient -maybe not even then.

Linda is so hard to keep up with. It doesnt matter how much pay attention you will find yourself confused majority of her lectures. You will walk out of a lecture and be like what was she talking about?Also had 4 heavy assignments on the last 2 weeks of class. Seriously recommend to take any class but this one. A GNED class shouldnt be this complex

TL DR; DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!! -She is very disorganized, the outline for the course will be modified 5 times during the course -You ask her a question and she will give two different answers to two different students -She doesn't answer certain questions even though she heavily encourages it -She marks the class as if it was a fourth year class.

Linda wasted so much class time talking down to a room full of adults about how they wouldn't understand any of the material without her expert guidance that it was difficult to get anything out of her at all. The class was mainly hard because she was so disorganized and inconsistent and could barely get through any course content. Awful

The course itself is pretty easy and understandable, but the teacher is had to understand and follow at times. The lectures are unorganized and tests are heavy dependent on notes taken in class. If something was misunderstood and notes are taken with the wrong understanding, then you will most likely fail the test. Definitely ask questions in class

Linda is the worst prof/teacher that I have ever had, and I have had a lot of bad teachers. Avoid this class and you will avoid being made fun of, belittled for having your own opinion, and so fourth. Linda is confusing and changes her mind all the time. She thinks her class will change your life but all it will do is lower your GPA and ruin ur day

she is not nice at all, very rude, expect to do a lot of work for this class and many group projects. You will do a visual essay which if you are not creative or artistic you will do very poorly. The one good thing I will say about her is she literally tells you everything on the midterm and final.

Foundation GNED's should be easy but this was NOT the case. Very vague during her lectures, the most unorganized prof ive ever had, and too many assignments worth 20%. little to no feedback on the grades you get, and makes you feel like an idiot for misunderstanding her unclear lessons. seriously not impressed and class was a waste of money.

DO not take a class with Linda if you don't want to be lectured for the entire hour and 20 minutes about stuff that is constantly repeated. She will mention something, then say it 20 more times. It felt as though her lectures never really had a REAL purpose. I can't say that I learned much in her class.

Going to be honest, no clue what Linda was talking about half of the time. She would lecture all class and was unclear about what she wanted in assignments. Even if she said you did a great job, she would grade everything lower than a B. Avoid if you need to do good...

Do not take any gned with her. She seems kind but is horrible at explaining. Only has 2 assignments and tests and weighed heavily, so If you do bad your grade is bad. Extremely extremely confusing, hard to follow along in lectures and makes you feel bad if you are confused.

Kind lady when speaking outside of class, but not a good professor. Stated that she teaches the course "like a Harvard class." If I wanted a Harvard class, I would have gone there.
