Awesome teacher. Her tests are not difficult as long as you study the material. :)

Marcia Brown is an excellent professor. One of the few who has the capacity to teach in the program. She's tough, consistent and fair. I recommend her as a teacher.

....study or die :(

This is one of the best professors I'd had so far because she is knowledgeable and very organized. Her ptt slides are amazing. A few students share them with friends in other sections. She is always very professionally dressed. I admire that. Great professor!

very knowledgeable and helpful professor! Now that I am at York University, I realized how caring and proactive she was. The students that took Marcia's 402 class know a lot more about writing and research than some of the other students. She actually taught us APA. Her feedback from written work is amazing!

By far, Marcia is the most knowledgeable and caring teacher I had in my two years at Seneca. She values academic integrity and upholds it in her dealings with students. Now that I am at York, I appreciate all that I have learned from her in NRS402. Compare to some of my classmates, I am way ahead in writing and clinical application. Excellent!

Marcia is an excellent SLE facilitator.I learnd so much, not just in the simlab but also in APA. She actually sat with me to discussed errors in my SLE reflection. She tells stories that helped us to learn how to think critically in patient care. I would have liked to have her in clinical. Highly effective as a sim facilitator.

Marcia was my prof for pharmacology. She was tough but she actually care about us passing. In my group, a few uf us were struggling and she actually form a teaching session with about 5 students for two extra hours per week. She made us sign a plan with our goals and strategies to achieve them. Awsome teacher!

I did not really appreciate the knowledge and expertise of this professor until I get to york university. She gave lots of feedback on my scholarly paper. I did not get my usual "A" in her class but I sure did learn. I had it much easier at York University because she taught me how to write well, using APA. Marcia rocks!

Thank God for this professor. She is confident, clear and decisive and also smart. I learned a lot about medication and also about myself. She is ery professional in her behaviour towards students. Marcia was the best teacher who taught in the nursing program!

Marcia was also my teacher in simulation lab. This was an amazing experience for me. Marica made simulation fun while we learn how to respond to clients with changing health status. I was so nervous when I was nurse one but I hope I will know as much as this caring teacher and nurse one day. She is definitely my role model.

pharmacology is a tough subject. Marcia made it interesting. She's awesome! she makes me want to be the best nurse ever...she said if you practice by the golden rule, you cannot go wrong. Treat your patients the way you would want to be treated. Marcia not only teaches pharmacology, she teaches students about life. Extremely generous with her time.

I just had my simulation experience with Marcia as the facilitator.She was amazing! I learned so much in 2 days. I was so nervous when I was primary nurse but she made me laugh at myself afterwards. She made learning FUN!

I agree! Marcia is AWESOME! One of the few professors in the nursing program who really cares about student learning. She cares about the program and the nursing profession. Approacheable! kind too. I want to be a nurse and teacher just like her.

Marcia is AWESOME! She is not easy but very helpful.I learned a lot beyond pharmacology.

Professor Brown is great! I had her in sim lab and I learned more in 2 days with her than I learned in almost two years of nursing so far. Her examples and stories made it easier for me to GET IT! I made a lot of mistakes when I was primary nurse in senario 2, but the debriefing session was an eye opener. Excellent teacher!

Saying that Marcia does not know how to teach because she puts us into groups to do case studies is a cruel thing to say about competent teacher who promotes clinical application and critical thinking. I have only missed one class so far and I have never heard a put down comment from her. Be truthful! Practice the golden rule like she says.

Semester 3 has been the hardest since I started nursing. Marcia has been very supportive outside of class. I expect my final grade to be just a pass, but I credit her for that. She inspires me to achieve better! She was like a mentor who understands my struggles. I am grateful to have had her as a teacher. Very smart lady.

Great professor - very respectful to students.She has a sense of humour, yet serious about expectations. The course as tough but I enjoyed it....

one of the BEST teachers. I was so lucky to have her for pharm & simlab. Absolutely fantastic, I learned SO much-all relevant information u need to know. Her teaching is clear and straight forward. She's a true expert in her field. Very approachable and cares about your learning. Lectures are interesting, engaging and she has a sense of humour.

very classy, respectful and funny without trying to be. I personally learned a lot in pharmacology/math as well as simlab. She was AWESOME in simulation! She asked, "what kind of nurse do you want to be?" I definitely want to be a nurse like her: caring, kind, knowledgeable, confident and down-to-earth! She was my favourite professor. VERY FAIR!

As a teacher... OKAY at best, but as a person, she is awesome! Doesn't take things too seriously and is personable, funny, helpful, and understanding.

She was awsome in simlab. Learned a lot. Things finally clicked for me. Debriefing sessions...AMAZING

Great teacher! Approachable and make time for students. Kind but definitely not a pushover. Tough course but I learned.

I like this class. At first I was worried because she seems so strict. Some one asked her to change a test date and she brought it to the class and ask for vote. All but one was in favour of the change. In one class I had before, the professor would not even consider a date change to prevent us doing 2 tests on the same day. This professor is cool!

Very professional and organized. I personally like that.

Yes, she is organized, very clear about expectations and super respectful. Quite nice actually.

I learned a lot in simlab with this professor. I came out wondering how I can ever reach that level of expertise. She is realistic, down-to-earth and funny. Our group had a lot of fun learning, even though we all made mistakes. Thank you Marcia.

I had simlab with Marcia and I learned a lot. She is very funny in a serious sort of way. I have never laughed so hard over my own stupidity. I like the stories she tells to help us understand the significance of knowing. I could listen to her all day. Very wise teacher. I felt like I was in Life 101.

Marcia is a good professor, I find. She cares about us learning something, not just getting marks. Certainly not easy but absolutely fair. Has no favourites in my class. I enjoy her honesty and humour.

If you are interested in learning, take her course. If you are looking for an easy A, you may be disappointed. My best learning experience so far. Too bad I could not have her for the whole semester. I miss her subtle humour. Very caring professor.

I just started 304 with this professor. I am surprised to read the poor comments made. This person must be confusing her with another professor. Marcia is amazing She is very helpful and is quite clear about expectations. I did well on my first dosage calculations quiz. There was no surprise. We had great practice in class. She is super organized

This professor is the best. If you attend class regularly you will learn. This is a tough subject and she made it more understandable. Very consistent, organized and approachable. Tests are FAIR but not easy. I am having her again in 4th semester.

Go to class because she knows you by name pretty well and takes the attendance thing kinda seriously. Doesn't really expand much on the powerpoints except read off them, but you will be quite well off for the test just on most of her notes. She makes them quite clear

She is one of the best teachers I have had for semester 3. She is very clear and emphasizes important information that will be on her tests. Her exams are really clear so she does not answer questions during exams. Slideshows and case studies are very clear and easy to follow along and a great study guide. Oh and "repetition enhances learning"

I had Marcia in simlab a few weeks ago. After my two days of participating in patient care scenarios and debriefing, I left there thinking "I want to be like her." I learned so much more than expected! I had fun even though I made mistakes. A subtle sense of humour. I went back to clinical with a purpose-to learn to be of service to my patients.

Marcia is a really helpful teacher who cares a lot about all her students. Her notes are detailed enough that you don't really need to read the textbook (unless you don't understand some things). Her tests are straight forward and she provides a lot of practice questions so you master everything. Loved her!

She may come off as intimidating at first, but she is an amazing professor, especially when compared to the NUR301 team!She is open to respond questions in class, as long as they are not something OBVIOUSLY from your reading. I can totally see that her focus is to help her students pass the pharmacology course and actually retain the knowledge

She is a great professor who really makes this semi-boring class a lot more interesting. All her lectures are crystal clear and engaging. I feel like she not only teaches you about the course content but about how to succeed as a student/future nurse. Her tests are long though (midterm was like 90 questions - it felt like a final exam).

Many people complain about Marcia Brown but shes honestly not that bad. She has dry sense of humor which not many people understand or find funny and she marks hard. However, she's nice and willing to help if you talk to her.

Marcia is a great prof but she will make you work for it. She can tell when you haven't been keeping up with the readings and will call you on it as her lectures are very interactive. If you give her the opportunity and put in the effort, you will gain a lot from Marcia and this course.

Prof Brown was amazing in one on one's, if you're having any issue just build a rapport with her. She helped me understand the material and expectations extremely well, I really recommend taking the time to book. I feel like people read these comments and come into the class already made up about her? Just be respectful and you're good.

She was honestly a good prof. She's not as bad as people make her seem. You just have to put in the work, do the readings, and make study notes. Try to stay on top of the readings because there is a lot. She is a pretty fair marker and if you follow the rubric you will get a good mark.

Shes fair. She may not teach every single thing on slides but she does care about her students success. Attend her lectures she talks about important things that are probably on your test. Work hard for pharmacology and she will see it and so will you on test/assignment grades! Overall good professor

Test is very heavy and you have to know your stuff to pass! Practice dosage calculations A LOT because you dont have much time on tests to think for that. Her questions are all fair if you read the book and attend lectures. Things on her ppt that are highlighted are important! Overall, She isnt bad because 304 is a hard course in general

Marcia gets a bad reputation but she is a good professor. She runs her way class in a certain way and some students find her demeanour to be mean but she is a nice lady who will help you if you use her resources. To pass just read your slides ahead of time and follow her instructions she is a fair grader and her classes are easy to pass.

Professor Brown is very nice and helpful, and she gives fair grades.If you have any problem, she will guide you in the best way. Attendance is not mandatory, but it is better to attend the class. Be sure to read the professor's slides from the first semester. Slides are important for the final exam.

Professor Brown is genuinely nice. She always points out what is important to remember and tries to make things easier for students like she's the only professor doing review with students at the end of class. She's not the person who wants to see her students failing. I would def take her class again if possible.
