I love Marilyn! So insightful.

the most wonderful psychology teacher i have ever had

She's da boom!

Very good teacher. Funny and makes the course interesting

the one that changed my school experience!

I could listen to her forever!!! Can tell that she loves what she is teaching!!!

makes class interesting.....you actually understand what she's teaching

She has unbelievable intellect. Very VERY good teacher!

The best teacher. Very very interesting class. So glad i took it.

never had a more educational AND entertaining class.simply the best there is!

I love attending her class!

A very loud and clear speaker, her lectures are full of theory as well as an interesting asides, based on her wealth of lifetime experiences. Excellent in every way.

She is a very good teacher. She loves what she teaches. Tests are a bit hard, just becuase they are tricky...If you want to do well on essay, hand it in before its due to fix it up for the final. You'll do very good then!

Very enjoyable lecturer..........interesting in every way. She was very insightful, energetic and charismatic. You could not ask for a better proffessor

She's funny and a great teacher. Class is sooo interesting.It was totaly worth it to come on Friday at 9 am for her class. Very clear and organized. Must take!

Best prof in all of the psy department, she is really fair, she marks the essays properly and doesnt take marks off for useless reason. Her tests are based a lot on the text book, so if u want a good mark READ IT.

EXCELLENT PROF

Anyone who finds Marilyn "mean" must have something SERIOUSLY wrong with them. I suggest more psych courses for those people. Marilyn is lively, enthusiastic and brilliant.

In that case she must me a completely diferrent person in her psychology classes, but as far as the ACS program goes I couldn't agree more with the comments below. She just seems full of herself. Tries to be funny but isn't. You can tell ppl dont like her

I think she is great

a lot of people don't seem to like her for many reasons but i think in total she is really great because i have actually talked to her a couple times and she was very surprisingly nice to me.. she probably just gives off this "mean" feeling in c

I think it is a shame that this prof. is being personally attacked on the basis of course content that is not popular. While I am not fond of the content myself, the prof. herself is terrific. When content seems easy, it is likely being taught well.

Best ever prof. I love her style.

Extremelly nice and approachable.

Best prof. ever!!

Lots of fun. Assignment that comes in a cookie.

Insightful teacher, excited about what she is teaching. Friendly to talk to.

I have nothing bad to say about her. I thought she was funny, insightful & made me think. I grew a lot personally while in this course and she helped me with that.

one of the best profs ive had at ryerson. i have taken 3 of her courses

i agree, hadad i never failed to amaze me in her ways. keep up the good work blessed woman.u touth this i what a great mind can do. she showed me that not all profs arelike Heichhorn who has on leg each in the sane and insane world. thxz Haddad!!!!!!!!

Dr. Hadad is a fantastic Professor, who explicitly set our expectations for University life. The people from ACS who have problems with her are probably narrow-minded, and didn't engage her or her "teaching style" the right way. Go Professor Ha

Nice Teacher, very helpful, and fun to learn from. Very energetic, and that keeps a class interested and focused on the material.

Marilyn has amazing energy....very charismatic and genuine.......an excellent professor who takes time for her students. I wish there were more professors like her.

Unbearable shrill voice like Roseanne Barr. Makes ageist, ****,classist comments. Rudely sacrcastic and mocking. Oversimplifies issues. Abit of a cookie cutter course. Rude and condescending when challenged. Needs to be adored."Charisma" is

terrible

Great prof. Do your readings, study in groups to understand the material better, and you will get a great mark. Her teaching methods are one in a million!!

great interesting lectures, but tries too hard to be funny by being sarcastic at times, it just ends up being really offensive. bias 'new age' point of view.

Awesome!! Funny, energetic, interesting! I loved this course! I would take another one of her courses if I could! One of the few profs that actually makes you WANT to go to her class! I learned a lot. Her marking and the course load are both reasonable. Very nice woman and a good teacher!

One of the nicest, funniest profs @ Ryerson. She cares and is very understanding unlike other profs who dont want excuses. I read the course outline & thought the course wouldn't suit me (i.e. meditation & yoga), but i learned a lot & it was interesting! She makes u want to come to class!

Great Teacher. I didnt end up with a great mark, but really did learn a lot and she teaches very well.

High energy, charismatic, charming, witty, and full of herself. : ) A great professor too. LOL

10 years later, I remember how understanding she was, and how fair, as well. A truly wonderful human being and a good teacher.

Very enthusiastic and entertaining, gives great examples and answers all questions thoroughly. Helps students out every way possible. Very engaging, my favourite professor from Ryerson to date.

Great prof, in and out of the classroom, she was helpful, witty, intelligent...the courses she taught were great...

She's an excellent teacher, knowledgeable, very approachable, fair with her exams and assignments, has a wonderful sense of humour and makes her classes very interesting.

She is great. She's enthusiastic in and out of classroom. She squeaks at times, but she's very clear and animated. I'd definitely take her class again if I could!

Marilyn is a great prof. Very helpful- and always takes time to answer questions. She'll never go over time, and her lectures are really clear. Just follow her study instructions and you'll get an A. Her enthusiasm also helps make the class interesting early in the morning. Basically, tells you like it is without a lot of psychobabble.

could there be a better prof? this was my fav class of the semester. she is so smart and perceptive. she is there for us the students. the way she teaches helps you remember and enjoy the stuff you learn. thank you for being so wonderful and i hope to be in another class of yours again!!!!

an amazing prof, a wonderful human being she is. This class should be mandatory for those dealing with death (nursing etc). overall, best psych prof i had, respectful, understanding, treates everyone as equals. I work in health care and used the material to help a few patients with suicide. exam every week which was great. highly recommed this clas

marilyn is awesome! 706 is an amazing course.

She admitted abnormal psych was not her field, however, she teaches with enthusiasm and passion - great teacher (and helpful for my other psych classes as well)

I like Marilyn a lot, liked the class, very useful material BUT I don't like a teacher who gives subjective material over to a TA who has not proven herself reliable continually.

It was an interesting class. I recommend this course to anyone who is taking anything related to health care. She has a lot of experiences to share with the class

Very good professor.

Excellent professor. Very friendly and respectful to her students. Tests and exam are easy if you study and the one essay mean that course load is not too demanding compared to my business courses. Take psychology courses with her if you can as she can make any topic interesting (even things like yoga, which I had no prior interest at all). A++

Amazing prof. Very interesting and knows how to engage her students. 2 Midterms/Essay/Final, which is a decent workload for an upper liberal. You don't know me but, Thank you professor! =)

You're a superstar!

This lady is very sweet. Her lectures are interesting but her tests can be hard. In terms of MC, q's can be confusing and detailed. T.A's can tend to mark the short answers hard. Just do ur readings and attend her lectures and you should be OK.

One of the best Profs around. Classes are fun and interesting. Adds to the textbook material. So knowledgeable, helpful, and enthusiastic. Cares about students! Love her!

I LOVE HER TO PIECES! She is an absolute delight as a professor and is such a pleasant person to talk to. Very intriguing, brings personal experience into her lessons. The book is a bit of a repetition of what she says in class. Be sure to type your notes! Her Word.docs are very simple and lack a lot info - thats why you must go to class!

Great prof! Has passion for her job, very relevant and relatable stories that puts the lecture into perspective. Although essay assignment was pretty difficult and tests challenging, those reflection questions are freebies!

Great prof. Study text book more than lectures, although some lecture material is important. I made the mistake of focusing more on lectures for mid-term and I got B-. But for the final I studied from the text and got A. Very passionate abt material. HATES when late students disrupt class. Reflections are easy. Unclear instructions for assignment.

Very passionate prof but tests and assignments are not as easy as they seem. Her instructions can be very vague and unclear, and she can make you feel incompetent when you ask her questions.

One of the most insightful professors around. She uses her body of knowledge and experience to make the dry contents engaging and interesting. Death is a tough subject to tackle and i think she did with grace and compassion. it takes a wise professor to not get up in front of a lecture full of people and recite to them why shes so smart.

This professor is passionately interested in her material and that enthusiasm is transferred to her students. Two of her pet peeves are students that arrive late & students who record her lectures instead of attending them. Good sense of humour. Would take another course with her.

Very friendly, knowledgable and approachable professor who does genuinely care for students. The course material seems fairly straightforward, as do the tests, but this is one of the few courses that I thought went better than it actually did. You must REALLY know the material and be prepared to write short answers about it.

Prof wrote the textbook and every tiny detail in the book is testable. The essay you have to write seems easy but then most people did not do that well. You think the class will be easy but it is really not. The prof also tries to embarrass anyone who comes in late. If you take the course, don't bother going to class just read the text.

funny. very passionate. assignments were really interesting. not a pushover, so don't think you can not apply yourself or really try to grasp material. she sees through it.

Awesome prof! Very interesting lectures and practical content. You must attend for in-class notes which will be tested. Her textbook is easy and enjoyable to read. Very fair evaluations (Two MC tests). In the essay, you basically write about yourself and how you apply positive psychology concepts in your life. This is by far my favorite elective!

One of the best professors at Ryerson - knowledgeable about the subject matter, interesting to listen to, intuitive and kind.

She is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable professor, very good lecturer. But, you must read the textbook in order to pass her tests/exams as 80% are from the texts. I found her assignment unclear and confusing with lack of guidance and communication. The midterm was a bit hard, but final exam was very easy. Overall, she is a fair professor.
