sweetest lady,great style,and a friend to her students.best teacher i ever had
sometimes hard to understand
An amazing professor. She makes me want to go to Greece. Every piece of Greek and Roman myth is presented with heart.
Bad explanations and terrible use of class time. Never gave feedback on essays or assignments. The kicker -> (I quote) I've been told not to give you As in this course and of course, she did not give them, no matter how good your work was.
Once you get used to her accent, she's great. The nicest prof I've had.
she is fun, knows her stuff,and is incredibly easy marking tests and exams.....she does take off some random marks for punctuation and sentence structure....
Dr. Kun is the fairest and most knowledgeable prof ever! She is one of the rare profs who gives deserving marks including A+s!!! Overall, she is a very enthusiastic and charismatic person who truly cares about her students!
Kun is amazing. She is a brilliant proffessor who also practices medicine. Very enthusiastic, and warm, as well as knowledgable. I bet she was a prize peice back in her day!
great lady, very nice, smart and carying. i encourage everyone to take her courses!
Didn't have a positive experience with her. Doesn't stay on topic, uses confusing and irrelevant examples, asks for student input in tutorials and then cuts us off mid-sentence.
I'm sure she knows her stuff, but she's NOT a good teacher.
she's great
a very very nice lady! and she is a great professor as well! Always has a smile on her face.
awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
info is presented in a very organized fashion and she stresses the most important parts.
claims to have met micheal jackson. i emailed her for the exam questions that i missed due to sickness, and am YET to get a reply...i emailed her in march by the way.
the best prof at York or any university
Probably the most interesting person I've ever met. Awesome teacher that cares about the students. Always encouraging in tutorials. And although it's hard to understand at times, gotta love the accent.. could never forget the names of characters because of the way she said them.
An excellent professor, seems to care about everyone and everything, has the best stories and goes over the material extremelly well, very nice in and out of class.
Hard to understand, unhelpful, boring beyond belief, shows favouritism to maybe 6 of 70 students. Seems to never be able to answer a question with a straight answer, and if she didn't keep repeating what she said she could probably save an hour in class
With her crazy acent u cant understand her. she tries hard, is very prepaird, gives a lot of info & her tutorial questions (that no one does) helps because she uses them for midterm exams. It would be better if she didnt ramble so much & gave u a straight answer to ur question but nice lady overall
i dont want her again, her accent makes it impossiblet to understand
She is v. difficult to understand and makes interesting subjects boring. Has a very religious bias on a course that shouldn't have one. Didn't look at the Bible at a critical analytic view. Class a waste of time and most ppl left after an hour. Sub. teacher was way better. Learned more from him in a few classes than from her all semester.
Great teacher! Really cares about her students and puts her heart into her teaching. very approchable and understanding. easy marker if she knows your put an effort into something!
She was pretty awesome :)
Loredana is quite boring, true...but she put me into some really droooly sleeps during class. Her accent is funny, and understandable. She is confused at times and all over the place, but doesn't get much done. She marked me good and I still got B+ while I slept during lectures and took off at tutorials.
pretty easy professor. I don't think anyone got lower then a B in her tutorials.
Great person! Great educator!
great professor!
amazing professor! makes class interesting, has so much knowledge, one of the best professors at york! also great person
gotta give her two thumbs up!
seems like a nice lady, feel bad that a TA made her cry in class, but her lecture notes don't make sense and sometimes her accent makes things hard to understand
awesome professor, she makes the class fun and interesting
Loredana is the best, and I think that all the professors at York should be like her!!!!
She is a cute woman; I love her accent but it is hard to understand her at times. She is a fair marker. Her lectures however, bored me at times.
Her accent is very hard to understand, but she's a very nice person. Boring lectures- basically she puts up overheads and talks. People copy notes and don't really pay attention to her (or maybe that was just me). Easy grader and fair. She works alongside Frances Latchford, whom I prefer over Loredana. Interesting class overall.
Her lecture notes were terrible, and had no relevance to things we were tested on. It's hard to understand her sometimes because of her accent, but she is very helpful if you need anything from her. The class can be difficult depending on the T.A. you get.
ok, when samaras taught the class, it was useful going so you could take down his notes...but when SHE taught, attendance was completely pointless. dont get me wrong, she seemed like a nice woman, but her horrible accent and useless powerpoint slides made me miss half the lectures. anyways, still managed an A [but no thanks to her...]
AMAZING CLASS!! Loredana is a very friendly and easy going prof. she really wants students to do well and loves what she does. her lectures were a bit on the boring side but her personality made up for it. very sweet and caring woman. in a class of over 100 she made time for each of us.
Although Loredana is somewhat easy going on her classes she does have a tendency to just read off the lecture notes. What i could not stand however was her italian accent making her english quite difficult to understand.
Extremely approachable...generally nice person in and outside of class...accent a bit tiring after awhile...very hard exams, hard tests too.
Very weird and treats everyone like a kid.
the most amazing professor and such a wonderful person!!! I wish more profs were like her!!!
MY FAVE PROF AT YORK. SHE'S SO MUCH FUN, INTERESTING, AND KNOWLEDGEBLE. MAKES YOU REALLY WANT TO GO TO CLASS EVEN IN THE SUMMER.
A very fun class to take! She was always pleasant and had a smile on her face! lol... The only thing that was annoying was that her accent was very hard to understand most of the time, but she makes up for it in her notes. Look for her big royal blue coat in the winter with a big fur trim!!!! lmao! CLASSIC!
SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!!! ALL TEACHERS AT YORK SHOULD BE LIKE HER, SHE IS HELPFULL, ALWAYS THERE TO HELP AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS!!! SHE IS THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO YORK!!!!
She is nice and approachable but very difficult to understand. Also, I hate to hear her saying that i would not keep you long. Actually she can do more for tutorials and be firm with her marks. Grades seem to be based on overall impression.
SHE IS THE BEST!!!!!!11
Awesome prof, awesome course
Took the time to know names & faces of 70+ students. Fair marker. Not the most lively presenter, but topic was interesting. Genuinely wanted students to succeed.
she is ok i suppose, but needs to learn how to speak clearly because it is really difficult to follow along in lecture
She is one of the best, if not the best profs. Knows her stuff, cares about the student, is very fair and passionate about what she teaches.
I have had some pretty good profs at York but Loredana is by far the best!!!!! If you get into her tutorial its even better, she drops heavy hints about what is going to be on the test, and she is a fairly easy marker. She bought the class coffee, she is so nice, I love Loredana!!!
She is a great prof. Make sure to interract in class until she knows your name as it helps. She is great on giving hints on what will be on exams. Very passionate about tearning and student's learning.
BEST PROF EVER... she really is. she tries to learn everyone's name and really cares about every single person in her class. I feel like I learn so much in her classes, but am also able to do really well in them. She is a huge asset to York.
AMAZING PROF!! she really tries to help u out and offers so much insight on roman and greek myth. take this course and you will fall in love with it and her. the only thing i didn't like about her is that she tends to spoonfeed the answers.. ofcourse that may not be a bad thing for some =) If u have her in tutorial U WILL LOVE IT!
Took the 'Classical World' with Dr Kun. Great prof, loves to teach & wants to be a friend to you as well. Exams were straightforward and while class attendance isnt mandatory i highly recommend it b/c she often mentions what is important specifically for the upcoming exam. really good about giving extra time for essays. talks a lil fast in lecture.
Yes, she is the nicest prof you will find at york or anywere else probably. genuinely good hearted person - very kind to me when I was having a hard time. I wish she spent more time on analysis and less on summary in her lectures... people should lay off the accent... she speaks like 12 languages.
SHE WAS AWSOME. she was veryyy friendly and helpful. I had problems during the year, she extended the due dates for me... she was an angel...
I had this prof twice... the second time was worse than the first. She is probably one of the nicest women you will meet but her lectures are horrible. You do not have to go to class, stay home do some readings and research, make her like you and you should get an A. It is easy to get extensions as she is very understanding.
She was an amazing proff..i never went to class and i was having some problems and she would extend my due dates. She is an amazing person. i wish all profs were like this!
Prof. Kun is by far the best professor at York! She loves teaching, loves the students, and is extremely knowledgeable. Students should seriously lay off the accent, who doesn't have one in this country, and at least she knows languages!!. She is prepared, enthusiastic, and understanding. More profs should be like her. I highly highly recommend her
So nice, really trully understanding. she says "hi" with a nice big smile everytime you walk in LATE. and says "I understand some of you work and have things going on - come in come in" It's great. But she doesn't like to be a push over.
Great Prof! Learned lots from her and she was very clear and made sure she highlighted important points to remember for the exam (= higher marks for all who come to class!)
loredana is awesome! you can learn a lot from her.
Loredana is an amazing prof, i wish i could take all of my courses with her. Every time i bump into her she says hi and still remembers me, prob not my name though. She is really passionate about what she teaches and is very friendly towards the students. Shes so understanding as well. I had her as a TA which was even better!
A pleasure and very entertaining. I am going to miss her.
She is a very nice woman and a very understanding professor. However, listening to her lectures was a pain because of her thick accent. I had a hard time understanding what she was saying. I stopped going to class 2 months into the year and I still got a B+ because you just have to do the readings and go to tutorial to do well. Good course overall.
Sorry folks, but "nice" does not equal a good prof. She is very difficult to understand and her lectures are completely ad hoc. No organization at all. The assignments were a joke. You get no feedback at all. Sure, she gives exam hints, but that's so people will give her a good evaluation. Her teaching is not an acceptable standard for university.
great teacher, very helpful. she knows a lot about what she teaches and students should take advantage of that.
great prof and excels on the university standard
An extremely nice person but unfortunately, not a very good professor. Hard to understand and just bores you to death considering it was a very interesting subject. She marks easy on the assignments but the exams are still a ****. I went to classes but tuned out the minute she started talking.
A great person AND a great prof!! Extremely knowledgeable and interesting. Yes, she has an accent, but it's not like you can't understand her. Only people who seem to have a problem are the slackers that come uprepared and are too busy chatting or on FB. I suggest taking a course with her, cuz she's one of the few great profs at York!
I had her for two courses. The best professor you will ever meet at York. She is caring, her lectures are extremely interesting, and she is always ready to listen to your inputs or thoughts and appreciate it! The materials are not too easy but she readily acknowledges those who work hard. I had the best time at her class!
I love this prof. She's an amazing person who truly cares about her students. When she walks into the class shes ALWAYS happy! This class is a guarantee A! Just go to class, do the readings and understand main concepts and you should do well! Great first year course especially to satisfy gen.ed requirements. Take this class you will not regret it!
Great Prof. Her lectures are pretty basic, just read the text and your fine. Take her notes down. Great class, and she can be funny as well. Tests and Final is pretty basic, right off her notes.
A GREAT PROF AND CLASS!
Nicest lady in the world! Loved the class!
GREAT PROF...LOVED HER...SHE IS AMAZING...ONE CLASS I ENJOYED GOING TO...IF THERE WERE MORE CLASSES THAT SHE TAUGHT..I'D DEFIANTLY GO...one tip: she teaches two of the same classes...one class she teaches alone and the other she has a partner...TAKE THE CLASS WHERE SHE IS TEACHING ALONE
LOVED her! Sweetest lady on the planet! Her mom passed away during the term when I took up the course but she managed to pull through and complete the course objectives. Would definitely take another course with her given the opportunity.
sweetest teacher. She made the class interesting and she was an easy marker.
She was honestly an amazing teacher. I actually enjoyed attending her class, although it was not mandatory. She was also very lenient when it came to due dates. She always accommodated her students.
She was one of the best profs I had, very down to earth personality.Extremely helpful and understanding. Helps out of the way. Marks based on hardwork.
She's a wonderful teacher and really cares about her students. Only downside: she's a little old-fashioned and lets this cloud her teaching. Other than that, she's great.
Awesome prof
Good professor, very nice but tends to ramble on. Most of the time, I tended to just copy down her slides without listening to her. I learned more from my TA than I did during lecture, but she is stil a nice lady. Hates it when you take pictures of the slides.
Nicest teacher. Will help you with anything. Very understanding when it comes to late assignments. Easy marker. Got an A in the class. Study her notes
awesome
A very nice and a caring teacher , I took the class as a general education course, and do not regret a minute. Understanding and goes on about her interesting life experiences. Studied only from her notes.
great teacher! shes really sweet and nice. lectures can be a bit boring. use her notes to study
AWESOME PROF! she knows her stuff and shows so much passion for what she does. Her accent is a little hard to comprehend but she keeps the course fun and simple.
Incredible professor! One of the best at York! You will learn a lot and love the classes. She is wonderful.
AMAZING PROF! She's such a sweet, sincere, and passionate prof who really knows her stuff! The course is super easy and her marking scheme is not hard at all! Her lectures just summarize the readings, so make sure in your tutorials you're taking down notes and significances to the readings. I totally recommend!
She is such a good prof. So easy! If you try hard you can get an A easily!
sweetest woman ever. get her as a t.a! even though the lec & tut were at 8:30 am, she made it enjoyable. course was all about greek/roman stories. in tut,we watched hercules & troy, bought those who never had breakfast tim hortons, always smiling. go to lec & write notes bc it's all on the exam. easy course load, very easy to get a b+ w/ no effort!
It was a pleasure to have her as my Prof for both lectures and tutorials. She knows all of her lectured materials inside out and helps you whenever you are stumped on key facts or essays! She is very polite, humorous, supportive, attentive, and will always accommodate you whenever any legitimate personal situation arises!
Such a sweet professor, very caring and encouraging. It was a pleasure having her as a professor and TA. During the course, I learned that she is very talented in many things!
Fantastic prof! Very helpful and caring not a hard marker if you try your best. easy A+ for me and very enjoyable course material. She is very knowledgeable and brings a lot of outside knowledge to the classroom. Recommend to have her for Lecture AND tutorial
It's simple, you do your work, and you'll do fine. There are no ticks in her class, you're not in danger of being hoodwinked. The only complaint I have is that she sometimes dosent answer the question I ask her. I suppose its a bit of a language barrier. Oh and don't EVER skip classlectures. Even if you're dying.
I hated the class and I really did not like her teaching. She was frequently late. Posted none of the ppts but moved too quick for someone to write it all down. She gave marks to whoever she liked it seemed like. Just an overall horrible experience. I am sure she is a nice lady but I do not wanna be her student again, ever. GO TO CLASS!!!
Participate in tutorial and do the readings. If she notices youre doing the work and showing up to tutorial, youre getting an A+
Amazing prof! She's really kind and seeks to help those who she sees putting gin an effort. Class attendance is necessary, tests are very straight forward and content is discussed beforehand.
Don't judge too quickly! This prof has a strong accent and her lectures may seem boring at first but once u get past all that, you will see a woman who is super passionate abt the material. She was my tutorial leader as well and that helped. Participating in class will get you on her good side and she'll automatically be more helpful and welcoming.
Very passionate but not the strongest lecturer. Can go off topic A LOT. Easy for a 9 credit course. Two hour tutorials were torture! Did not try to engage discussion. The lectures were not helpful, just recapped the readings. Just gives same format for all essays and midterms, feels like not a lot of effort is given to the students.
Dr. Loredana Kun is such a sweetheart and truly cares about her students. Although she may seem intimidating to some, she truly means to help her students achieve the grades they deserve. There is a lot of reading, but her tests and essays are graded quite fairly. I strongly recommend joining and participating in her class(es).
There are A LOT of books to read for this course. You need to read up to like 7 full novels. The entire set of books cost around $300. Novels are like 300 pages each. So in total, you have to read 2100 pages for this course. 3 tests in this course which are HARD if you do NOT keep up with reading... She teaches with a HEAVY accent and is NOT clear
She teaches with a thick accent. It is really difficult to understand her at times which makes this course difficult. Course grading is based on 4 tests/ assignments.
DO NOT GO TO HER CLASS She made an interesting subject boring, and her accent was sometimes too thick to understand. I will never choose this class again.
Professor Loredana is such a sweetheart. Please ignore the last 3 ratings. Her accent is thick but after a few encounters with her, you hardly notice it. You WILL pass the class only if you do the readings, which are straightforward. The only way of failing this class is not attending tutorials and not doing the readings.
Dr. Kun is honestly the sweetest lady! She does have a thick accent, but you won't even register it after a few lectures. You don't need to go to the lectures to pass, but you NEED to read the material. Her tests aren't terribly hard, but if you study you will do well. She told me that the only way to fail her course is to never show up! Love her!
One of the best amazing profs at York hands down. Knowledgeable, engaging and passionate. Surprised (and not) at the ignorant remarks re accent given TO diversity. Fluent English with euro accent. Loved her and the course. Most others felt the same. Highly recommend! Only haters gonna hate- lazy entitled fools. Ur not in high school...
I love love this prof and course! Taking the class was one of my best university experiences at York. Dr Kun is an amazing prof and the course is really interesting. Be prepared to read- as expected for a huma university course. Great prof- super passionate and inspiring. Thank you miss!
I'm taking Huma 1105 with prof Kun over the summer. I was dreading taking a summer course but I love this prof and the course. You learn a lot. There are a lot of readings but prof Kun knows her stuff and explains the material well. She teaches with a passion and is an amazing prof. She's also a fair grader and gives a lot of solid tips and advice
Best huma course and best prof to take a huma with at York. Huma courses are reading heavy and hard with mean boring profs. But dr Kun makes the lectures and materials engaging and interesting. You need to attend lectures and tutorials. Pay attention and you'll do well! She gives a lot of tips and is a fair marker and helpful. I love her!
I love her. She's a sweet bubbly lady who knows her stuff and loves to teach. She really cares about students and is super helpful. I was worried about taking a huma course but am so glad I took it with her. I've learned a lot. She's awesome!
By far the best professor at York. She makes the material understandable and crystal clear. She is genuinely one of the nicest professors at York. Would definitely take another course with her. I love Prof. Kun!
I was personally not interested in huma classes, but after being in Prof Kun's class, it really sparked my interest and intellectual curiosity. She is a wonderful prof and human being. She is knowledgeable and can really teach. She also cares about the well-being of her students. I highly recommend her and this class. I learned a lot.
A lot of reading to do, as well as 2 essays, 2 tests and a final. Participation in tutorials counts. She has a thick accent with slightly boring 2 hour lectures.
She's pretty nice. The formats of the tests changed this year, so they're all short answers. For the test you HAVE to mention and focus on the Themes and what not, otherwise you wont do as good. Read sparksnotes along with the books, so you get a full understanding. If you have her for tutorials, try to participate more and she'll favour you.
Depends on your TA. She does get off track and give trivial examples but its not annoying. A lot of long readings though. Have to be good at analyzing literature to be able to get a good mark
Id take her class again in a heartbeat. Smart, interesting, caring and loves to teach. Fluent in English with a European accent. Not thick unless youre a different race and or only speak English and live under a rock with no multicultural experience. Class is on par with similar huma ones re required readings and difficulty. Not a bird course.
Im loving this class. This is my fave course and she is my fave prof so far. Great prof and sweet lady whos inspirational and knows her stuff. The course is not super easy tho. U gotta have a scholarly/not theological approach so its new to me, but she explains it well and teaches with passion. U gotta do the readings and come prepared to class.
I love prof kun. She is really an amazing and caring professor. She is approachable and really cares about the students and clearly wants them to do well. I love her down to earth attitude- she is so smart and yet takes the time to not make anyone feel silly even if they ask silly questions in class. She is a really sweet lady and great professor.
Love love love professor Kun. She is super approachable and considerate. If you read a quick synopsis of that weeks book of discussion you'll get the gist of everything. I had her as a TA and she was an easy marker. Make sure you know the stories however as there are discussion questions given. Super considerate and really approachable professor!
This was one of the easiest courses I'd ever taken despite it being a year course and it's definitely because Professor Kun was such a gratuitous marker and caring prof. There were two tests and two essays, one of each per semester and that was all. As long as you do the reading and ask for feedback as much as possible, you'll do extremely well.
This class was really interesting. I stopped showing up to lectures completely since you only really need to attend tutorial. Lectures are posted online!! This prof has an accent that is hard to understand sometimes but she is incredibly kind and passionate about the material. Her tests are fair and assignments are easy enough. I recommend her!!!!!
Greek and Roman heroes are pretty interesting by themselves, but she made them even more so. Her lectures were hilarious and entertaining. Her tutorial assignments catered to everyone, switching between short answers, debates/discussion, presentations, and skits. She offers feedback on tests and essays, which helped me raise my mark.
Professor Kun is one of the most sweetest and caring professors I have had in my past 3 years. Her class was fairly easy, do the readings and show through your work that you have knowledge of her material. She's a fair marker, if you put in the effort your mark will be rewarding. Amazing prof who is genuine and caring and wants you to do great.
Dr. Loredana Kun was the rudest Professor I ever had. She can be very difficult and ignorant. One time my alarm accidentally went off in her class and she asked me if I was (in her words) retarded. It was so offensive and rude and instead of apologizing she told me I should understand that it was my fault for having my alarm on.
Professor Kun is passionate about what she teaches and cares about her students. She posts the slides for the lecture, often along with an audio recording, so that students who can't make it to the lecture don't miss out. However, there is a lot of reading. It's a new play every week and you need to read about 70% them to do well.
Professor Kun is really nice, however to pass her class you must do the readings. She really appreciates when her students do the reading before class and particapte. I think shows her the student cares about the class which make likes the students.
Dr Kun really cares about her students and her content! I had a great rapport with her just by showing up, having my camera on and participating in class. Lots of readings, so keep up and youll do fine. She LOVES if you read your assignments out to her which is almost guaranteed an A+. Also if youve read the PJO books, it will help you a bunch.
BEWARE OF DR. KUN!!! I ALWAYS attend lectures. However, her lectures were pointless to attend because I couldn't understand every other word she spoke. My TA, Colin Campbell, made the tutorials VERY enjoyable 10/10. But, I got lucky. If you can get Colin and skip the lectures, then take this course. But be warned, you are rolling the dice.
