Makes classes interesting. So really no point in missing any. Fair,respectful, and approchable.

Incredible prof! Approachable, loves her field, and class is a joy to attend. However, don't miss class and stay on her good side. She has a bit of a quick temper, but she's fair and truly an asset to the university.

She is a great prof!

By far the coolest anth prof at St. Thomas! Moira was great. Her classes aren't easy but do your work and you'll be fine! Also very approachable! Thank you Moira for an amazing year!!!!

Moira was an amazing prof. I loved her classes, her wit, and the cool props she brought to class. How many other profs work with the RCMP on crime cases and discuss them with the class (the solved ones, I mean, not the ongoing ones). She's excellent.

great lady who loves her work. hates the hockey team tho... who blames her!

She is an amazing person! I probably would not have graduated without her encouragement. She is one of the best profs I have ever had. She is tough and you better work in her class though or she can be pretty harsh - but honest!

Best prof EVER!! She knows soo much about the topic and not only does she teach it she lives it. Worm and amazing woman....anyone who bakes cookies and brings tea for the class on exam day is OK by me.

I love Moira she is absolutley amazing. She actually made me change my mind and want to do my minor in anthropology instead of psychology. Her classes are very interesting and she knows her material. Also the labs are great, tough, but so interesting...bones, bones and more bones :)

Amazing, amazing, amazing prof! I can't even begin to say how great Moira is and how awesome her classes are. I adore this professor, she is the best prof I've ever had and look forward to more classes with her! :)

Moira is the most honest prof you will meet. If she suggests that you are cheating then you were and there is no doubt about it. this is reference to the previous entry. She never reads just out of a book. This amazing person knows her material inside and out and is widely considered the top expert

She's an awesome prof, and anyone that says different is lazy and/stupid.

Awsome Class, Awsome Prof!!

Moira is one of the best profs at STU. STU should be very grateful to have such a great prof. She really cares for her students and is willing to schedule time with you. Her classes are always interesting and you learn a great deal about forensic anth. Everyone should try to get classes with her!!!

Moira is sooooo smart, man I wish I had her brain. You will come out of her class knowing something. She makes you work and she knows her stuff.

She is one of my favorite professors! She really sparked an interest in anthro for me, and now I regret that its to late to do a major in it. I would love to take a class with her again.

Excellent teacher

Moira is indeed one of the best profs at this school. She knows her material, and she teaches you it. She grades you on what you know, not how well your work fits some bland academic format. The reason I say it's easy is that she takes any material and makes it very very accessible and easy to learn

She is so nice and her lecture is very good!

Excellent prof..one of STU's best. I would highly reccommend you take one of her classes. You learn a lot at a comfortable pace. Informative and Intersting can sum her up in two words.

Very interesting class, especially the osteology part. Fair marking. If you love the subject, she's the professor for you!

She is a very nice, caring professor. She is so easy to approach and I like how she asks for the classes imput when it comes to tests etc. She tries her best to make the lectures interesting..although you really have to like anthropology to like this course. But overall, I would highly recommend taking one of her classes!!!

I loved this class and her! She is the best prof at STU, hands down. The material is interesting and she makes it easy to understand. She's a fair marker and very approachable, she really tries to get to know her students. her class was always the highlight of my day.

I really like her. It was my first class of my first year. She is very aproachable and was enthusiastic of the subject matter. I was happy there was no mid term or final just quizzes, assignments and a final group presentation. Its and easy course and very interesting. I would definatly recommend it. She has a great personal touch to the course!

Human Evolution was a great class! i loved the prof. because she was super concerned about our understanding and about the subject itself...

Excellent prof, very knowledgable, tries very hard to make sure subject matter is interesting. Won't tolerate absences or slacking off when it comes to readings.

I love Moira! I have taken every class I can with her. I minored in Forensic Anthropology, which was probably the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, but it was worth it. She teaches you everything you need to know to work up to Applied Forensic Anthropology. The only time she is vague is for the Lab work so that you can actually learn how.

Moira is a great professor. Her class was alot of work, but it was rewarding in the end. She keeps things very interesting so you will want to pay attention.

Absolutely Love Moira, most likely the best prof i have/ will ever have!!!

I really like this professor. She was definatly my favourite. She used power points and was very clear and precise with her information. :)

Moira is super amazing. Best Prof i ever had, hands down. We still keep in contact even after I have graduated.

She is very organized. Attending class is mandatory, you are allowed 5 absences. She tells you from Day 1 what she expects from you and gives you all the important dates. Her class is very easy if you read the chapters and go to class. Overall one of my favorite profs.

Great prof, helpful and interesting. A little over zealous at times.

Great professor. Challenging classes, but tells you what she wants right away. Attendence mandatory. Enjoy all of her classes. When she makes jokes, they are usually funny.

Awesome prof. Very sharp but a little biased in her teaching. Takes a real intrest in her students. Easy course if you attend class and do read the chapters befor hand.

She was always polite and nice. Her class was very interesting and easy to understand. Some of the assignments were difficult, but overall an amazing prof. Definitely a favourite of mine.

Very smart lady, assignments keep you interested. Actually look forward to the class even though it is at 8:30. Very approachable outside of class.

Amazing professor. Difficult testing but nothing that wasnt covered in class. Attendance is MANDITORY. Missing a day is missing ALOT. Easy to talk to and willing to help if required. She is very smart and knows her stuff. I suggest taking any of her classes.

A good professor overall (see the hundred or so other positive reviews.) <i>However,</i> she gives less leeway than she ought when grading written answers on tests and assignments. I noticed she let herself get distracted by late-arriving students, however quiet their entry, and seemed annoyed when someone would raise their hand to ask a question.

Absolutely AWESOME professor. She will definitely get you prepared for actual forensic cases. It's a very difficult subject but as long as you put in the effort she'll be extremely helpful.

Moira is very approachable. Funny without trying to be. I've taken 5 classes with her and she knows her stuff. Strict about no electronics and attendance. She sometimes does not realize that you don't know quite as much as her. As a prof, she gets her stuff done. As a person, one of the most insightful women you will ever meet.

Moira may be the hardest professor I've ever been taught from. Attendance is mandatory, and her tests hit you like a bus. With that being said, she's also the kindest, smartest person you'll ever meet. She really is extraordinary, and is a phenomenal professor. She really pulled me into anthropology, and if you're willing to learn, she's great.

I have taken almost all her classes, only one more to go. She is the epitome of a real professor and professional. She is approachable and genuinely cares about her students. She expects students to read the assignments, ask questions and complete projects. If you are looking for a role model, she is it!

Moira is the best professor I have had. She is tough grader on test and papers, but she gives many open book assignments to boost your grades. She is always more than willing to help, especially with essays and assignments. She speaks clearly and as long as you pay attention the lessons are easy to learn. You can tell she loves what she is teaching

Her assignments act well to help you learn the material in class and give you a good feel for the field. She can be a bit intimidating...I found when people asked questions in class she was annoyed. However, she is approachable after class and was willing to help me with a major assignment I struggled with. Very down to earth. DO NOT MISS CLASS.

Tough class but Moira is a fun prof and you learn a lot! Be prepared to work hard though.

Moira McLaughlin is easily one of the best profs at stu! She is passionate about the material and it shows in how she teaches. The assignments are open book and are done in groups so it's a great way to boost your mark! She's very friendly and approachable, and is very respected in the field of physical anthropology. Plus, no final exam!!

Best prof at STU hands down. Makes you work for your grade but she's amaziny

Moira is an absolute sweetheart and I would take more courses with her if there were more for me to take! She is not someone you think you would get close to, but the more you talk to her the better of a human she is! Basically a 20/10 human

Moira is an amazing prof who really cares about her students. If you want to do well in the class then you need to properly prepare for tests and the in class assignments. If you don't show up, she will fail you. She is very passionate of what she preaches. Overall, great professor and a kind human.

She often says one thing then tells you the opposite. She grades as if we have all of her experience but we don't. Amazing professor overall.

Moira is one of the best professors at STU. She is so sweet and honestly such an inspirational human being (all around awesome). If you take any of the classes within the forensic minor, you will definetely be working for your grade as most things are lab based (takes time). Helps you really take in and understand/apply your knowledge though! (:

Online learning's been hit-or-miss so far but I really looked forward to Moira's class every week! She is very kind &amp; not a harsh grader as long as you actually read the textbook &amp; watch lectures. She disclosed that online teaching was new to her but put so much care into building the course &amp; was very transparent with us, unlike many other profs

My first year class with Moira was difficult and I was not a huge fan of her teaching. This years course with her was much different. I reached out to her for help and asked many questions. I can tell she prioritizes students that put effort into her class. She is a very caring and nice person, just make sure to introduce yourself at the beginning.

Her anth class is so interesting to me. If you don't listen&amp;don't take notes, you won't do well. Material isn't hard, I take notes&amp;listen &amp; get 90+. Ppl next to me are on their phones all class and get 60s. Her grading can be weird sometimes but if there's 2 possible answers, write them both and she'll mark it right if one of the answers is correct

This prof will post power points used in class online for ur notes, her intro class is easy going. No exam. At the end of it, if you study, its an easy A+

An incredible professor! She is truly passionate about her students' success! She is, extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend taking classes with her, the material can be challenging at times since it's information you haven't learned before, but she makes it interesting! DO NOT SKIP CLASS, this will make it really challenging to pass.

Attendance matters, if you miss one class you may be lost for the entire semester. Very upfront, and tough marker

Moira was truly an amazing professor to learn from while taking the Forensic Anthropology minor. I highly recommend you take her courses! While she grades hard, she does care that you do succeed. Once you warm up to her, she is truly an amazing human. If you have a good work ethic, you will do great! You will spend lots of time in lab, but worth it

No exam!

I enjoyed this class and the lectures. The material was interesting and educating. Although, she is quite strict on how she grades homework and quizes (harshly and inconsistantly). E.g. 2 people with relatively the same answer would get 2 different grades. if you did not write word for word what she wanted you would lose points.

Overall I really enjoyed this class and learned a lot. My only complaint is that the grading was always based off of very specific answers. I love that the text is for free online, and that we work as a table. Despite how early it was, I always enjoyed it because I knew I'd learn something new. I'd recommend trying to take this class with a friend!

Is very knowledgeable and has very clear slides that she uploads for you to refer to later. Open book tests. You need to be very specific with your answers and even when you are specific if it does not match her answers you lose marks. Could be condescending at times. Very nice person and easy to listen to.

She was a lovely teacher, the grading was a little hard to get used too but after you do it is very rewarding. Loved the class.
