I enjoyed this class and think that she's a great prof. I appreciated that she encouraged critical thinking instead of just giving the facts of criminal and social policy. Gave us a 60/40 split for the midterm and final (highest mark worth 60%)! nice!

Good prof. Encourages questions and dialogue. Easy workload and very fair marking.

Really sweet woman. The making is fair and she makes the class interesting. You can tell she knows what she's talking about and is passionate about the subject matter.

SHE IS ONE OF DA BEST PROFS IVE EVER HAD!! She actually cares about her students!!!

One of the best professors. She is a very intelligent woman and her marking is very fair. Even though the subject matter is not very intriguing, she tries her best to make it as intersting as possible. She is very helpful and approacheable, so don't hesitate to ask her for help.

I hate crim theories courses but she somehow made it tolerable! Very smart and good rapor with class.

The most understanding and kind professor! She is a great teacher and is very fair in her marking. Her tests are straightforward and to the point. She is also very approachable and always willing to help you, even if it means going out of her way. If only all Ottawa U professors were like her!

Prof. S-O is a very helpful prof. She will go out of her to help students understand the material. Her teaching style is not very stimulating, but if you pay attention, you will do well. The assignment was easy, as was the final. The midterm can be tricky. The best way to excel in her class is to teach yourself the material. Overall though, good!

Her lectures are clear and concise, and her lecture slides are very well put together. Her exams are fair, and if you do poorly on the midterm, she has been known to use your mark on the final instead. Basically, if you do poorly on the midterm, or need an extension on your paper, go and talk to her before doing something drastic like dropping!

Her lectures are jammed packed with info, her slides basically cover everything impt. in the readings which is good b/c there's a lot of reading. The exam and midterm were really straight forward, she tells you whats on it, no suprizes. paper was marked easily. overall great class!

Great proff!! Really helpful. Very intelligent!

Great proff!!! I have had her twice and she is very commited to her students. She is an awesome proff!

This class was extremely interesting and Lori presented the material in a very effective & interesting manner. She attempt to make her lectures fun, and in most cases succeeds. Her exams are a little tough, but reading the notes & attending the lectures will definitely help you get a great mark. Definitely take this course!

She's fantastic, explains the material clearly and keeps things interesting. She's very open to participation and class discussion, I would love to take another class with her

I LOVE HER!! If she see's that you are making an effort in class, she will reward you. Its so refreshing to see a professor who actually cares about the students. She wants to see us succeed and do well. I would recommend any class that is taught by Lori!

BEST PROF EVER! So helpful, so understanding, exams are short and to the point.

very understanding prof...

GREAT PROF! She really cares about her students and how they do. Her class has a mid-term, which is extremely fair and she tells you the questions beforehand, and a final paper - which she details clearly what she wants in it. She is a great professor, if you get a chance - take her class!

THE BEST! I go out of my way to take Lori's classes. If you listen you can learn a great deal. This IS why I came to university! She's also very down to earth and always willing to help! AWESOME PROF!

Surprised by the good reviews. Lori simply reads her lecture notes in class and hardly refers to the text. Basically memorized her notes and managed to get an A on the midterm. Easy in this sense but overwhelmingly boring. She really needs to liven up her course material and not simply read notes that are available online before class.

BEST FEM TEACHER EVER, she cares about her students and is a wonderfully nice person, very knowledgeable.

Amazing prof. She truly cares about her students. Take her class, attend her lectures and you will get the mark you deserve. My only complaint is that she uses a lot of media. There's a film every class or so.

FABULOUS, every prof should be like this, clear, helpful, committed to making sure ALL of her students succeed, always ready and available to help, has her whole heart in what she does. Impressive and truly amazing.

Amazing professor and person! Lori is fantastic, brilliant and VERY helpful. I thought it was great that she taught the class from different perspectives. Her grading is a bit tough, but not unfair. I'm disappointed to hear she won't be teaching in Sept 2012!

I think she is wonderful! I highly recommend her!

I love this professor. She is more than fair. She makes her expectations clear. She is extremely understanding and supportive. She is very knowledgeable and has a great deal of passion. I have taken three courses with her and she is my absolute favorite professor. If you have the opportunity to take any of her courses - do it! AMAZING prof.

I love Lori! I always try and take classes with her. She's definitely one of my favourite profs at uOttawa. Very student friendly.

Lori is by far the best professor I have ever had. She truly cares about her students. She makes boring material interesting. Very engaging. If you have the opportunity to take a class with her, do it! GREAT prof!

Amazing prof! Would definitely take her classes again in the future!!!

Lori is an amazing criminology Professor. Not only is she funny, but she cares a lot about her students and will go over concepts repeatedly. Her assignments are fair as she gives you the midterm and final exam questions ahead of time. I strongly suggest attending class to understand the material and doing your readings for the final. Best Prof!

Lori is a great professor here at uOttawa. The only down side is that the lectures are quite long and can go on forever! Sweet lady and the midterm and final arn't exactly hard. She gives u the questions before the tests to help you prepare but she does expect quality in her answers. Work hard and you'll nail the course

She is an amazing person first of all. She is a great prof too, regardless if the classes are boring for some students. This one was very interesting, I had her for CRM 2308 too. Her expectations are clear, she works hard to make sure you know what she wants. Easy A if you keep up with readings. Can't emphasize enough, she is a great person!!!!!!

We need more profs like Lori, she is clear, kind and understanding. She is also very passionate about making a change. She approaches students with care and interest, can't believe she was sick and would stay after class for so long to discuss questions. Exams are easy if you pay attention to what she says in class and take notes. Take her class!!!

Best professor I have yet to have at University of Ottawa - I highly recommend taking her class!

I LOVED HER! oh my goodness, she is so awesome. Her lectures aren't very structured but it is hard to structure a FEM course so I don't blame her for it. Lots of readings but very interesting. She is really great to work with and makes FEM class really enjoyable. Great discussions and quite funny at times. Seriously recommend.

Fantastic teacher on all levels. Have taken a few classes with Lori and regardless of the topic she knows her stuff. Attend classes and do the readings.

Best prof at UOttawa. So sad I took her in my 4th year, I would have loved to take more of her classes. As a woman, her Women Studie's class changed my life. She's such a passionate person. Very sweet and caring. Cannot recommend her enough.

Lori is amazing and she genuinely wants you to do well. However she's a tough prof and you really have to study your ass off and actually know what you're talking about to do well. I enjoyed the class but it has caused me so much stress.

I have taken a few courses with this professor and find she has so much knowledge to share. She teaches in a way that cements information into the brain that is not easily forgotten after the exam, as is the case with the majority of other classes. She truly cares and helps her students to succeed.

Lori is someone who truly cares about her students. She makes accommodations when necessary, and is very fair with her grading. She gives great feedback on her papers and is always available via email, after class, and during her office hours. There is a lot of reading to do, but she helps her class through particularly difficult texts.

Had her for the FEM2 course during the Winter 2018 Semester. EXCELLENT. I see she had a bad situation with CRM students but her FEM course was amazing. Not to mention she gives tons of opportunities to make up your grade if you start off on a rough patch. She's also approachable. Would stay like 20 minutes after each class answering questions.

Prof Stinson was very kind and easy to listen to in class, but much of what was in the readings was not covered in class in great detail. Normally this would be okay but this was a second year course and many of the readings dealt with topics better suited for upper level classes if she was planning on not explaining what theorists main points were

She is a great teacher. She does tend to go off topic but in the end she is a caring teacher that cares and understands that students are under a lot of pressure and gives chances for those who want to improve their grade to do so or at then end of the semester will boot the grades of the students that have put in the work and deserve it.

She is a really easy professor. Effectively teaches the subject matter and keeps it interesting. Super reasonable when it comes to assignments. It is easy to get an A in her class if you at least try a little. Assigns lot of reading to do, but she gives you the questions before the exams and lets you bring in a cheat sheet.

Love Lori. She does tend to go off topic while she's lecturing. Wish I could have cracked a bottle of wine in class as we got into some great discussions. Take her if you want to learn!

Lori was such a wonderful professor. The textbooks and readings she picked were obviously very thoughtfully selected and highly relevant. I loved this independent nature of the class where you had the ability to read, form your own opinions and then arrive in class to discuss them.

Love this prof! I was going through alot when i took this course, not only did she give me all the extensions i need, she also showed she truly cared. She is a kind and genuine person. I see people talking about her "tangents", but I find them always super helpful, it helps to relate the course content to the real world. one of the best profs.

Lori is a very good professor that really cares about her students. She always takes time to make sure she answers all the questions and make sure the student understands before she moves on. I would definitely take her classes again.

She is honestly the best professor I have ever had. You can tell her priority is her students, and the level of care she shows us is unparalleled. She is sympathetic to students surrounding deadlines and she was always transparent about what to expect on a midterm/exam - highlighting how the focus was always the student's learning. Highly Recommend

Lori is a very exciting and personal academic. She cares about her students and the ideas the present. If you show a willing to learn, she really wants to help. She was always available outside of class, and will make sure you meet personal goals if you put in the effort. Will purposely look for her classes again!

A very caring professor. She is flexible with the assignments and understands her students very well! Her instructions are clear and specific. She provides supplementary resources, and is accessible outside class, during discussions, and always replies to emails. Would highly recommend, she is extremely knowledgeable about what she teaches.

Lectures were really fun and she gives many hints about grading expectations. Not an easy marker. Readings from the textbook were dense, boring (as such is expected from Canadian political history), but ideologically skewed toward social liberalism à la Trudeau. This makes for easy, silly, fun and ample critique from a socialist left perspective.

she's a giant in her field and you can tell. she encourages discussion and she teaches well, if you don't like politics it can get boring but for people who do you'll know that she should be teaching at Harvard or smth. she's also really nice and flexible (gave us an extra week to submit assignments). honestly an icon.

willing to curve grade upwards and is very helpful and understanding

She uses great examples for all concepts brought up in class. Very interactive and engaging lectures. The content in her Canadian Politics was easy, but test cover everything - so make sure to really dive into the readings and the lecture. If you're present and ready to learn, you'll have a great time in her class. She's very lenient on due dates.

I enjoyed my course with her, I thought she was very engaging and interesting to listen to. She relied on the textbook a lot, especially for the essays and exam answers, so don't pass on it for POL2101 with her. Very VERY accomodating, allowed everyone to stay home and watch live feed or recorded posts of the classes. Really enjoyed her!

Take this class. Easy A.

Lori is an amazing person. She's extremely caring of all her students success. She's also a genius at what she does. Her lectures can be difficult to follow, but if you make enough of an effort to follow along, you'll find it to be a very rewarding experience.

A great prof in general, but if you get the wrong corrector you'll be fighting for your life + your GPA. The content is clear, what is expected of you is clear, but be prepared to gamble with how strictly the corrector you're assigned adheres to those expectations. The only reason I would not take a class with this prof. again is the RNG element.

I never ever give feedback to profs, but she was amazing. Not only was she clear on how she wanted things done, she herself goes through and makes sure the markers are in fact doing their jobs. She's very clear and gives hints to what will be on the exam.

the lectures are light work. I chose the midterm/final choice for the grading. the quiz portion is all in the textbook and the essays are focused on poweproints and textbook so it's good! she Is also a very understanding prof

Yeah, she was hard to get a hold of when needed outside of class sometimes, but her lectures were honestly pretty awesome. Her assignments were easy to follow, and I like her personality because she definitely does care about her students.

The Best Professor I have every had at uOttawa. I'm currently studying Economics and Public Policy, this class was mandatory. Lori Stinson is such an amazing prof. A midterm and a final that were both take-home. Constant extensions given. Very fair grading. Lori Stinson is one of the few professors that make uOttawa good. Take her course if you can

lectures were a little bit unbearable, but the exams were take home and reliant on the textbook. timed components on the exams were straight from the slides which were posted on brightspace, as were lectures. she's very funny, absolutely no filter which I personally loved, very transparent about expectations on exams.

Prof Lori is great. She has first hand experience in Politics, having run for office before. We had numerous chats about politics before and after class that were extremely rewarding. If you're a PoliSci student this class will be easy as pie. If you have knowledge in Politics and general society knowledge you can get a good grade easily.

Ignore all bad ratings. Sweet, kind, and VERY easy going. The people that don't like her fall into two categories: 1) Academic nut jobs who cry about receiving an A- instead of an A or 2) People who never show up to class or don't do any work and complain about getting anything under a C. Cosplay as a leftist and you're good to go. Amazing Prof!

Professor Stinson's class was a mixed bag. Her lectures were engaging, but assignments were tough. unstuck ai and the textbook helped me stay on track. Overall, a challenging yet rewarding course.

Easiest prof ever. You literally dont have to show up. also like 15% of your mark is just free. Extensions are all built in to everything, super easy prof. Extremely political, hates harper, but thats fine. She definitely projects her opinion onto the course, but she legitimately wants her students to suceed and makes it easy to do so. Great prof.

She's a very knowledgeable woman, I loved going to class just for her. She posted all lectures so nothing is mandatory. She gives so many chances to improve your grade, but is very intolerant of AI use. She's awesome though, changed our finals to a take home because she heard us out on Respondus being glitchy and awful. Take her if you can!

She does go on a few odd tangents (Trump, other politicians and AI) but overall a great professor. Lectures are recorded and posted on brightspace and lots of hints are given for midterms.

IDK how people can rate her bad for this class. She literally gave us the EXACT QUESTIONS that would appear on the mid term and final exam making it easy to study and get a good grade. There also isn't any assignment or essays which is good there was only exams. Attendance is mandatory only for half the classes the rest you can watch online

Easy to do good in the class given she provides the exact questions that will be on the exam. I liked that there were no assignments in this class and that a textbook was not required
