i enjoyed her class. she speaks clearly and try hard to make the class interesting. midterms are not that bad if u read the book. but need to read it detailly. exam was ez.

Tries hard to make the class interactive and interesting and gives helpfull info for ppl interested in majoring in HR. Read the text not her notes for test, their test bank questions. Not a difficult class if you do the readings. Nice prof, if your willing to ask she's willing to help.

she is nice and uses a few different teaching methods. mostly text book material and 3 term tests that included 100 mc each which was overboard. fair marker on research assigment. overall good prof because she knows her stuff

Her tests are hard, but she is a fair marker. Her classes are boring and she tries very hard to get class partcipation by asking questions, however no one really wants to participate. She does tell you what will be on the exam, gave us a very thorough review. Overall, a fair prof just a little on the boring side.

My fav prof so far. She gets that you are paying her to be there and wants to see the class do well and actually learn something. Group project is massive - choose your group carefully. Go to class or you'll miss the math. Fair exams and fair marker. If you study and work hard you can get an A.

I enjoyed her class. She's helpful and reassuring when you need help with the group project, and she had a subtle sense of humour that i enjoyed. Its nice when you have a prof that enjoys teaching, which she does. Average to difficult test, workload is a bit heavy: big group project and 10 page report

One of Ryerson's best profs by far!! Not only is she brilliant, knowledgeable and practical....but her teaching style is great if you like a teacher who is direct, and speaks the truth about everything. But above all of that, she doesn't take herself or being a prof too seriously which makes the classroom atmosphere that much more relaxing.

Great person, smart and funny. Class is not mandatory, but it is useful to attend. Marks fairly hard!

Great Prof, she knows what she is talking about.

Great professor.Great person to chat with. Down to earth, funny and a fair marker. Do your share of the work and she'll make the course easy for you.

She is so adorable haha. He class was not hard but was not easy. You have to pay close attention to her slides. Definatley on my top 5 fav profs at Ryerson

1) reads off slides 2) hardly finishes off the chapters 3) midterm was easy as long as you read the the book thoroughly, reading the slides arent sufficient enough. 4) final was the same as the midterm

I have mixed feelings about this prof. She is extremely helpful when you speak with her one on one. The class is somewhat boring--a basic HR class that never really delves deep into anything. But, perhaps that is the nature of the beast. You will only be successful if you read the textbook, attend class and participate, participate, participate!

Easy class. Read the text and you'll do fine. Mid-term was long, final was easy. rsearch paper was marked fair. Attend class or lose participation marks!!! Only compliant is there was attendence was taken into consideration for participation marks.

Very nice lady! Read the text, in fact, learn the text book cover to cover and you'll fly through this class. Basic HR = a lot of common sense...treat others how you would wish to be treated yourself! Read up on Diversity and she'll warm to you straight away!

I had Margaret for 523 and thought she was great. For this course, nothing really changed except I felt the midterm was extremely easy but then the final was a bit difficult and surprising as it was extremely long and we had 3 hrs but I didn't feel it was enough for 2 long essays, 5 short answers, 5 calculations and 20 m/c.

She's actually one of my favourite profs I've had. Even if the material is boring, she actually makes attending lectures interesting/fun. Amazing prof in my opinion :)

Margeret is extremely funny and very kind. She has lots of experience with HR so she knows her stuff very well. The material is somewhat dull but attending class will make it better. Midterm is challenging but assignments are fair. Overall, I loved her

Professor Yap possesses unmatchable experience in HR and is perhaps one of the most reasonable and fair profs at Ryerson. She is very clear with her content and the midterm and final are very fair. Project is marked differently depending on the seminar leader you have. Overall, I would highly recommend this prof for HR.

Really amazing teacher if you're taking MHR523 then take it with her

Prof Yap is amazing! Really enjoyed her class!!

margaret is a babe. she's straight forward in what she wants and if you do as she says, you're guarenteed a B or higher. the TA however marks hard on papers so make sure you correspond to him! This was my favourite course of the semester

Professor Yap is the only prof who teaches compensation management, and considering how dry the material can be she does her best to make it interesting and mostly succeeded. She's very approachable with questions you might have and is happy to help with any concerns you may have during her office hours. A good HR prof!

B-A-E. clearly instructs what to expect on exams, COME TO CLASS because she does example questions & read prior to the lecture to further understand everything! her ta is a piece of work for the literature review so make sure you don't slack on that

Margaret is a knowledgeable professor however she is not an understanding one. Make sure you follow all her rules or else you might get dinged on a lower grade for something extremely trivial.

Everything on the tests are covered in class, so you won't need to buy a textbook. Tests were straightforward and fair. I managed to ace the course even by reviewing the material the night before, so GO TO CLASS! The only thing issue I had was that the TA who marks the group assignments marked very hard.

Very good and funny professor! There is one midterm (worth 20%), group assignment (20%) and exam (60%). You have to come to class in order to get more details about what is going to be on the exam. The group assignment is marked hard as the best mark in the class on that was only 81%! Overall, it was a good class and I'd recommend her

Margaret is a great prof and her lectures are very valuable, don't skip! Read the textbook before class and then go to class because she is good at explaining and clairfying any confusing points. The material is very heavy so study as the course goes a long because its very hard to cram. A 60% exam and little guidance for the paper are weak points.

I only had Margaret as a sub a couple of times last year but I REALLY enjoyed having her as a prof and would recommend her! I obviously can't speak as to what her exams and everything are like but her lectures were very interesting and fun! She is very energetic and gives good and relevant examples to the content.

Margaret is a great professor - she's funny, has a lot of insight and shares great examples from her real world experience. Lots of in-class assignments help with retaining and better understand concepts. Not too much difficult math although you do need a scientific calculator.

This course is really content heavy with a lot of concepts and theories to know, so you need to study earlier to prep for the midterm/final. She covers everything you need to know and give hints on potential test questions she'll ask, so go to class. The final is worth 60% with MC, short answers and calculations. Not an easy course, but good prof.

Amazing prof. Teaches everything with enthusiasm and cares about students. The final is worth 60% so attend all the lectures and ask any questions or clarifications you need to do well. Shes very helpful and i would definitely take her again!

Classes were interesting as she was able to provide her personal experience in the field. Textbook is optional, studying from her lecture slides + speaker notes were enough. Her midterm and final are fair. She values student's input for midterm and final and discusses with us. Her TA however is a hard marker.

This is one of my favourite professors. She shares her real life experience and has a real practical approach to her teaching - very helpful for those not currently working in the field. I think she is fair, accessible and engages the class well - especially since it is virtual. Her lectures are long and participation is mandatory. Fair marker!

I had Margaret this past semester. Amazing prof despite the reviews. The course is about compensation - so of course, it's a bit dry but she makes it fun. Had a small class of 30 so it was good to interact with everyone, make sure you have a good group with people who usually talk in class. DONT need the textbook, open-book exam, some group work.

I don't really get her bad reviews, she's a great prof! The course content itself is quite dry, but if you come to class and pay attention (take notes, etc) every week, she gives you solid hints for the exams. For the group project, know how to do a proper literature review and you'll be fine.

Margaret was a great prof. She does care about her students' success if you are willing to put in the work. The group paper was marked a bit tougher, so ensure you and your group have proper citations. And for an 8 AM class, you definitely won't be falling asleep with Margaret's energetic spirit!

MHR849 is a content heavy class but she makes it easier to understand. Attendance is not mandatory but I encourage you to go because she gives hints for exams and shows slides she doesn't post on d2l. TAs can be tough graders though, so be sure to get a good group or make sure you connect with the TA. Overall great prof!

Review - Professor Margaret Yap does her best to teach a dry but interesting course. Although attendance isn't mandatory, she will give bonus marks to those who attended lectures. Course material is heavy but she does provide clear examples. She also gives hints on what to expect for the midterm and final. Overall, not a bad professor.

She's an amazing prof! All the bad reviews are def exaggerated bc if you come to class & take notes from her slides, you'll be good. She says stuff during the lectures like "can I put this on the exam?", after explaining a concept/question & giving a clear criteria of what she'd look for on the exam. She cares abour students and is funny too!
