her lectures are like fighting in the WWII. extremly brutally boring and my brain almost could make it the 75 mins mornong class. ...nice person though

Don't bother asking Prof Bower any questions, as she doesn't know any of the answers. If its not in the text book she won't have a clue.

useless prof who re-taught intro micro. Left me unprepared for advanced micro. only upside was a ridiculously easy A... especially for econ

definitely wasnt very helpful

Mathematical Economics - She litterally read the textbook. Lectures were useless. Ask any question and she referred you to the page of the text.

No passion and feels as though lecture being taught by a robot

1. boring 2. difficult on exam, class midterm average is 40%!!!!!!!

Boring/dry lectures, extremely hard midterm (40% class average), Textbook material and lecture examples do not relate. Looked for a tutor for this course and everyone who I contacted refused to touch this material.

Prof is brutal and is basically non-existent during the course. She wont give answers. She simply says see the assignment, although the instructions are vague at best. Be prepared to do everything on your own. This includes grading other people's assignments WITHOUT an answer key, therefore you lose marks because other people are wrong.

Salty about a few marks she gave me

Took this for summer school. Feels like I took 3 courses when in reality I just have this one. Evidently a very heavy courseload.

Terrible prof. Do not take her courses. In class, attendance is mandatory. Online, the final is worth so much and a mandatory pass that the work all semester feels meaningless. She is a very nice person, but inconsistent with her level of understanding to certain situations. She doesn't teach, just summarizes what we are expected to learn ourselves

Awful. Does not speak for students to understand.

Very dull lectures go at a rate that is almost impossible to follow. As if shes teaching content to people that already know the content... DO NOT ask a question, unless you want to feel terrible about it. I understand it must get repetitive for professors but at the same time they should understand that it is their job to hepl us learn the content

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF. she gives you annoying quizs every week with VAGUE AT BEST instructions, nothing other than the text that isn't very good either, SUUUPPPERR DIFFICULT questions with no explanation and when you look at the answers she doesn't even include formulas + no office hours for help.

Completely inaccessible both in and outside of class. Content is not bad, but the way she teaches the class makes it so hard to understand anything. Course load is so heavy. I basically put as much effort in this course as I put in other 4 together. She is arrogant and rude in class. Adomait level 10.0

Bower does decent examples during lectures. That's about all she does, she has no regard for her students or their comprehension of the content. Often she wont even look up during class to the point kids just lower their hands and don't ask questions. She is very rude, will scream at you to put phone away even if taking pictures of notes.

Took this as a summer course and wow what a mistake that was, 2 weekly quizzes worth .5% each, each quiz took hours, other weekly tests or projects on top of that. Final exam was a nightmare no amount of teaching myself could have prepared me for that after an online class. Take with other professors and you'll save yourself time and stress.

Just give her salary she earns from this class to the textbook company because the only way to learn anything is outside of lectures. Horrible, boring teaching style and expects you to already know calculus when its not a pre requisite. Trust me do not take her class .

Nancy has a way with words. By that, I mean she gets up to her lecture podium and performs lectures in the style of "rap god" by Eminem. The textbook will be your best friend in this class, but the lectures are worth going to know what is up. The weekly quizzes come with a difficulty I cannot describe - they're essentially impossible.

Took the class during pandemic. 2 mobius assignments every week even during the times we have reports do which is biweekly and you also mark other peoples reports. Biweekly Quiz using lockdown.. everything is marked online, she doesnt teach.... Like what do you do aside from torturing students? Students legit teach each other, this prof aint it.

Unreasonable and teaches as if students are not taking 4-5 other classes.

Unclear and not accommodated to online learning.

Not really doing things in DE class, just posting past notes and weekly agenda. Not worth the money

Worst Prof yet in my time at Guelph, not only does she not explain well or at all just flies through the lecture but she is RUDE when you ask question. Doesnt include more than half of the fomulas we need on the fomula sheet and laughed and said i made the fomula sheet a bit tricky for you guys Not Funny... Im not done the course yet :(

Wants you to fail. I dread walking into this class twice a week.

I took this course online and she would literally take days to respond to any question you had. I once posted a question regarding an assignment that was due in 3 days. She responded to my question 5 days later, and had clearly not even read it as she did not even answer the question that I had.

Wants you to fail, gives attitude to students who ask questions in class, hard to follow lessons, poor lecturer

Had her for Mergers and Acquisitions though the course should be called Solving Mysteries because assignments are based on content we barely cover. Worst prof at Guelph 100%. For lectures, she just reads the slides and it's unbelievably boring, I for sure fell asleep 2-3 times. She's lazy and unhelpful and won't lift a finger to help her students

Nancy Bower is definitely the worst professors I've had at the Guelph. Expects students to do well in the course, but berates them when they ask questions, and then doesn't even answer the questions. Never includes most of the formulas needed for the midterm. She laughed at the class when she said the class average was below a 50.

Nancy did not want to see students succeed and failed to make lectures understandable. Does not give answers to practice midterms and wouldn't tell us the midterm average because it was so low. When innocent students ask questions she does her best to make you feel bad for asking and barely even answers the question. Super disrespectful and mean!

Doesn't post answers to any of the practice midterms, and does not want to see you succeed in the course, and whatever you do don't ask her any questions. Corporate Finance, a great subject ruined by a disinterest professor.

worst professor I've had at Guelph. SO much content in very little time. Midterm was nothing like homework, do not take if you can avoid

Doesnt incldue 80% of the formulas on the formula sheet because "you should know them" when theres about 50 you need to know

A very hard professor that I would not suggest taking because she is just like Adomait. The midterms were extremely harder than expected with hard mobius assignments that take hours just to get a perfect score. Very rude as well when going to her office hours for help and speaks in rude manners and does not want to help one bit even.

Nancy has no idea what is going on 99% of the time. Anytime a question is asked, she freezes for 30 seconds and then continues on with whatever notes she has written down from 10 years ago. In terms of assignments, they are posted 2 days before they are due with no discussion on what is expected of you. The most disorganized class.

Worst prof ever in my 4 years. Doesn't provide you answers to the practice midterms, provides a formula sheet for the exam that's completely useless. Boring and you can barely hear her in class. Calls you out when you ask a question that she expects you to know. Think its time to hang it up!

By far the worst professor I have had in my experience at Guelph. Not willing to help, looks annoyed when you dont understand things, will yell at you in lectures if you have your phone out. Course is extremely outdated. intsead of teaching us on excel we are expected to do the math the "old fashioned way" when other schools programs all use Excel.

She is terrible and the class is terrible. Worst class ever. I went to every lecture (which is rare for me) and I studied so much (which is also rare for me) and I still did not do good at all. I got a 32% on the midterm. I'd rather take econ*1050, econ*1100, and stat*2060 all again and do them in the same semester than ever take this class.
