This was one of my favourite classes taken while at the University of Ottawa. All the people in POL with negative comments probably failed and never went to class. Louise Rocks!!!!!!

really nice! easy class, she even took us out for beer and nachos at the end of the semester! i would definitely have her as a prof again!

One of my favourite professors at the University! Love attending her classes she is very helpful

Great prof!! Easy class if you take the time to study and take notes in class. great prof

i don't know why this prof has such bad reviews. I am taking her class on gender work and reproduction and i feel she really is a great prof. she always starts the class off with real world connections to the material we are covering, and i feel she really puts her heart and soul into prepping and teaching the course. Lectures can be a bit dry.

Great prof! She was helpful and recommended good resources for my final paper. About 20% of her exams are based on the readings, if you want anything over a B to B+, you need the textbooks. Lectures were interesting and well structured. Only complaint is thats sometimes she got defensive when students challenged her or raised questions.

Louise is an amazing prof! I'm not sure what others mean when they say her lectures are dry. I never found her lectures boring, and the class was from 7-10. Her tests are not hard if you read her notes from class and the assigned chapters - there are absolutely no surprises. Always finishes class at least half an hour early. Overall, very friendly!

Yes, she teaches the course from a feminist viewpoint. Women have always been suppressed in the fields of science and health care. She's opening our minds to what a textbook doesn't mention. The content of the course is fairly straight-forward. Show up to class and do the readings, and you're golden. Very kind woman and cares about your success!

Such a good professor, really engaging. I dont know why so many people are bashing her here. If you study what she tells you to study it is an easy A Totally would take another class with her

Great prof, great course.

Phenomenal professor. Best course do far!

Very easy course. Louise is a great lecturer and gives you all the information you need to succeed. Lectures are long and breaks are short, so it can get pretty uncomfortable. Do not skip class, lots of things she talks about in class she will not post on blackboard. Lectures have a very feminist under tone, but that's not a big deal tbh.

Enjoyed the lectures, she is a great lecturer, no papers, two midterm and final, just make sure you do the readings.

Great prof who is very clear but not so helpful. Class is interesting and easy material however her midterm was tricky using the best answer m/c and heavy readings based. Do the readings, go to class, study lots and make sure you are aware of definitions versus stats and specifics. Enjoy the profs lectures and videos given they are very pertinent.

She was pleasant to deal with and seemed like a very fair marker. She has a loud voice so it was easy to hear her speak from the back of the room. Couple tricky questions on exams and a LOT of reading. Overall, I enjoyed the course and it was useful. Lots of examples for course material to help you understand the concepts too. :)

Honestly, she is one of the best teachers I've had! Her way of teaching is amazing, her goals are set and as long as you listen in class, you will easily pass. Her exams are pretty simple (again, if you pay attention). No text books but online readings. Straight forward! Would love to have her again!

Amazing professor, I recommend her to everybody. Class was solid, no textbook but weekly readings are absolutely required. There's not much on her slides and she also leaves some out during lectures so you must go to class to get the correct info. Just by sitting and listening you'll get a great mark.

This was the best class I have taken at uOttawa. It was always interesting and fun to participate in. The prof is amazing and VERY fair when it comes to the exams. if you go to class and read your notes a couple times before the exam you can do well, but it's helpful if you're an auditory learner. She brings movies and candy some classes too!

Her expectations are clear. Many readings but no manual to buy. Everything she presents will be tested in exam so take good notes and study everything (syllabus and all). She is interesting and presents her subject extremely well. This course is a lot of work, but it is worth it.

Louise's lectures are so interesting and she has had such an interesting life the hour and a half flew by. It was important to attend because she would test on her anecdotes (course relevant). She assigns readings from journals/websites/videos which she provides in the syllabus and it is important to at least know the authors/names/topics for tests

My 3rd course with Prof Edmonds. Her 2 midterms are very straightforward. Go to lectures, look them over and you'll be fine. She gives away the short answer questions in hints during lectures so go to class! You'll want to attend lecture since she's a great lecturer and makes 3 hour lectures go by quick!

Great prof, is available for help via email or in person. Expectations for exams are not super clear, but it's pretty intuitive that the lists will be tested as short answers, and long answers should incorporate concepts and examples from the course. Once you've taken one of her tests, you'll know how all of them will be like.

The class taught my Louise Edmonds is a very interesting class. I genuinely l liked the class and it did advance my learning. With that said, it is quite lecture heavy and there is ALOT of material to memorize. Additionally, the exams are quite hard and once again, memorization is emphasized. Assignments included: midterm 1, midterm 2, and final.

Louise's class is pretty interesting and relevant. Her lectures are a bit all over the place, but she's very clear about what you'll be evaluated on. There's 2 midterms and a final, and she tends to drop A LOT of hints in class which are helpful. She wants you to succeed (even changed the final for our class to play to our strengths as a class).

one of my favourite profs that i have ever had, lots to memorize but she wants her students to succeed and gives lots of hints. i thought this class was going to be awful but she made it one of my favourite classes i have ever taken. honestly an amazing proff and person i can't put it into words. 100% would recommend her!

I love Louise, she's hilarious. 3 hour lectures but I went to every one cause I enjoyed listening to her. 2 midterms and a final-has oddly specific questions on which authors wrote which readings/things she said in class but otherwise super easy. The content is interesting and she can ramble sometimes but tells good stories to help you remember.

Honestly, one of the best profs Ive had at uOttawa! shes so a caring and truly wants the best for her students. If you have the chance, take this prof (ignore the negative reviews, because theyre not true)!!

Louise really is a gem. Her material she tests comes from her lecture slides, her discussion and the textbook which is 100% fair. In all of her lectures, she is engaged with the class. As long as you pay attention in class and listen to what she is saying, you will learn valuable material and get a good grade!

One of the best profs in health sci! She was so kind, approachable after class, and genuinely wanted to get to know you. She gives out little hints during class for potential questions on the midterms, and is very upfront about exam content and what to expect. She clearly knows her content and is able to convey information really well.

Prof Edmonds is really great! I enjoyed the class a lot. Its super important to attend lectures and take note of her examples.

Ive had professor Edmonds for 3 courses in my undergrad and honestly she is one of my favourite professors. Yes, she tests on material she may have mentioned once in her lecture that wasnt on the slides, but also the rest of the material is easy so I think this is completely fair. Only complaint is she can be hard to reach outside of lectures.

I really enjoyed Global Health with Prof Edmonds! Her midterms were very straightforward with no tricks. She also gave hints during lectures, so make sure you attend them. Very sweet and reasonable.

I had Louise for a class in person and I enjoyed that more. She doesn't record lectures and the online lectures can be boring. Class content seemed outdated and irrelevant to aging a lot of the time. She's nice and the open book tests are easy if you take good notes and study. Write down everything, even her random stories.

I forgot to rate her last year so heres my very late review. Professor Edmonds gives very interesting lectures, shes very accommodating for those who do CSL (I wanted to go in a healthcare profession and she allowed me to do a more hands-on placement so I could gain experience and add to my resume) and shes just very sweet. I highly recommend!

Can feel overwhelming and frustrating cuz there is so many videos, documentaries, notes, textbook, articles for every class and midterms are long with long answer, MC, T/F ect... But the material is interesting and everything is related. Exams are straightforward. some questions are who, what, when about the videos just to see if you watched it.

Really enjoyed this class. it's super interesting and touches on a lot of the world's issues. There is a lot of documentaries which I think are necessary in order to show the real life experiences. I also enjoyed watching videos on my bed instead of hard core studying. Exams are straightforward as long as you watch the videos and go over the slides

The greatest course I took in university! So informative and the professor did an amazing job at conveying the information during lectures. Was easy to memorize because the material is very interesting. :)

Prof Edmonds made this course extremely enjoyable. Her lectures were very easy to understand. Midterm and exam was online, read the textbook and her slides = easy A. Huge advocate for women. Her lectures felt like a conversation between friends. She gave us movies to watch. Fantastic teacher, respectful and friendly.

Great professor and fun lectures! I've never fallen asleep in this class and that says a lot. The midterm was a little awful due to time constraints but doing the assignments for this course was really interesting because we had a lot of freedom (health programs/policy).

Her lectures are content heavy. Be prepared to read the textbook and other readings. Her class requires a lot of outside effort. Her exams are open book but are very difficult. On the final, nobody got above a 91% :(. Easy to get an A, haven't met anyone with an A+. Don't take her if you have other options, there are many easier profs.

Lectures are quite long and information filled but proper studying will get you a good grade. We had a midterm 30%, an essay 30% and a final 40% and none were particularly difficult or time consuming. I wouldn't call it an easy A but its a minimal effort A.

She's a decent prof and seems nice but I found some her exam questions a bit weird but that's whatever I guess. Wouldn't call it an easy A but definitely not a very hard class.
