I did not find this professor to be very helpful. Reading expectations are unreasonable for full time students. Very unclear with expectations for the short answer questions (very ambiguous) on the midterm and final exams, taken only from lecture material. Overall very dissapointed with this class as it had the potential to be very interesting.

She is an interesting prof who conveys the material effectively. You must attend each class since there are both in-class participation marks and short answer questions on exams that pertain only to lecture material. She also assigns an optional essay if you want to make up for bombing the midterm. Overall, an awesome course and prof!

You would have to work hard to fail her class. She is funny, interesting & engaging. If you do miss a class the text has enough in it that you can read that. BUT go to class & get free marks for participation. Maybe if you stayed home drank beer & only looked at the pictures in the text you would fail. I'm taking her other class next year.

I went out of my way to take this class with her. I've taken other classes with her & if you show up for class & do a quick glance over the readings you can get Bs with out devoting many hours so it's great to take her class if you know you have a time consuming one to compensate for. This does not mean it is easy, just that lectures do their job.

I really, really wanted to like Lisa Henry. She came in with enthusiasm and a heavy focus on participation, which are the marks of a good prof. However, her in class exercises were unclear and all over the place and she spoke to us like 8th graders. The textbook has everything you need, but the graded group exercises in class force you to stay.

One of the best profs I've had at uOttawa. Her classes are so engaging, half the class is usually a class discussion (which finds its way to the tests) and the other half is powerpoints. I loved this class, the content was interesting and was presented in an effective way. Definitely have to put in some work but thats pretty standard.
