great teacher!! class is so interesting. she kind, young and full of energy!! I recommend this class to everyone, you will learn a lot of interesting things!
she's cute + energetic and I learned a lot from the course already
She's super nice...and really, with all those profs that demonstrate their **** qualities more than they teach, that goes a long way. Teaches but also cares what class thinks...shows fascinating movies...recommended.
LOVER HER, LOVE HER, LOVE HER. She is not necessarily easy, but she is clear and interesting. If you study hard, you have the ability to excel in this class!
AMAZING teacher! She has been my favourite prof thus far at Mcgill. The class itself is extremely interesting and relavent. Orlee brings in fantasic films about issues we're discussing in class. She is very approachable, helpful and clear. Read and attend class - you'll get your A!
An amazing teacher - clear, eloquent and extreemly erudite, thogh I thing the comment she made about C. M. Brekher (Brecher?) was not very appropriate.
Interesting + brings relevant outside material into class. She should teach more classes!
One of the worst profs I've had. Uninspiring and a horrible discussion leader. I haven't learnt anything in this class at all. Seems very unconfident about the lecture material. Lectures are dry, hollow and a waste of time.
I can't believe the negative comments below! She's my favourite prof - nice, interesting and funny - makes you actually WANT to come to class.
One of the worst profs I had. Uninspiring. Kinda ditzy too. If you want a feminism class, you should be in her class.
All I can say is that I learned a lot from her courses. I would take anything that she teaches - anything!
she's awesome!!!
She's approachable and clear. Really cares about students.
It's all about class, and not so much about the coursepack. Pay attention take notes (and thats relatively easy to do, since material is pretty interesting). Really good prof, it's a shame she is leaving.
The most amazing teacher I have ever had. It is a shame she is about to leave. Mcgill , do something about it!
Wonderful instructor. Always willing to help and is clear with her explanations. I enjoyed the course very much, even though the paper drove me crazy! The class discussions went all over the place, but we were a lively class, so it never got boring. It's too bad that she's leaving; she'll be missed!
One of the most insincere people I have ever met. She is completely phony.
Orlee is just inspiring and refreshing to have as a prof. There are not many like her and everyone knows it. Its a shame she will not be here next year. I loved all her classes and she was great to talk to one on one. thanks orlee!
the best teacher I have ever had. the most interesting classes and enthusiastic teaching.
I had her for sociology of the media. just learned about it and she made essay exams very clear and easy if you studied the material. Highly recommend this very nice lady.
an amazing teacher, the best I have had so far
This is not the first course I have had with Orlee, I continually choose to learn from her because she makes sociology so interesting!Even her choice in textbook material is interesting. Extremely nice, fair, and passionate professor.Would recommend to anyone needing to take a sociology class.
She is horrible, don't take her. Complete waste of time. Unfair and phony person.
It was hard to get into lecture at first, but after a couple weeks I started to really enjoy her class. As long as you go to lecture and pay attention you'll be fine. Shes very understanding and always willing to give extensions if you need them. DO NOT put off the readings though, you will screw yourself over trust me.
Even though I enjoyed the course material, she is a very unfair grader. She grades how well she likes the person instead of the exam.
I learned so much in this class that I use at my workplace. I'd take anything tout by her.
Overall, I lerned a ton. Sometimes Orlee tends to repeat herself over and over again which can get annoying but I guess it works cause the info sticks..... She's one of my top 2 profs at UWO for sure.
I had to work really hard for my B but it was worth it. I like that Orlee let us call her by her first name it shows that she does not think herself above us. She is an awesome teacher .
Seriously messed up professor. Avoid :(
The first couple of lectures are just theory but after that it gets really interesting. Orlee likes to bring examples from real life into class and that makes it interesting. I take all her classes.
She is one of the most unorganized and nervous teachers I have ever had. Gives a bad name to feminists with the views that she tries to push onto her students. :(
One of the best profs I have ever had. I learned so much from her. She is a great person and her classes are fun because she listens to what you have to say.
Take someone else. Do not waste your time on the class you will take nothing away from. Other professors are better than her.
I love this class! Shes a fun teacher to have. She needs to get things back to us faster but otherwise shes the best prof I've had. I'm learning so much about the family....
Nice prof but really unorganized. She takes her TIME to return things. Our class took a midterm and did not get our grade until the second last week of school. She looks at her phone every 5minutes and says she's checking the time but there's a HUGE clock on the wall. Teaching methods are ok..kind of useless to go to class because she repeats thing
Orlee is the best professor I had so far. She is friendly and approachable. Her classes are always interesting and fun. If you pay attention in class , do your readings and prepare for exams you will do well. I hope to take more classes with her in the future.
Orlee's a fair prof and pretty interesting in the classroom. She really cares about us students.
Orlee Hauser is an awesome teacher! she really cares about the students and is really laid back
She is the absolute best professor I have ever had. She really cares about her students!
Amazing teacher!! Her exams are only like 2 questions each and you always know what to study! I got a 93% and a 97% on them plus NO HOMEWORK! its amazing. definantly take her.
not helpful, doesn't hand work back in a timely manner, doesn't inform you of what grade you have in the class
I loved this class. I only got a C but I still learned alot - oops, a lot is two words. She helped me a lot when I came to her office with a study guide.
the best teacher I had so far. very helpfull and approchable.
Teaches thoroughly and in an excellent format. I really liked attending her class. Grading and the returning of assingments need improvement. Prof. Hauser kind of leaves your grade a mystery until the semester is over as a result of her not handing back papers.
Hauser is a good professor! She definately knows what she is talking about. There is a lot of material but it is pretty easy to manage. You take a lot of notes but never have daily homework. No textbook is used but you do have to read articles for use on the exams. Overall a very interesting class! She is very friendly as well.
Such a great professor! She has this great positive attitude that makes you feel good. All of the information she teaches is really interesting. She has you do reading quizzes but they were take home and you have plenty of time to do them. Two exams, written in blue books. Great class overall.
Best teacher ever!!! soo interesting and very fair! never makes you buy a textbook for any classes!
Orlee's class is amazing! She does such a good job of keeping it interesting and teaching the material in a way that makes it easy to apply in real life. She never has textbooks (all readings are ereserve) And she keeps the class light.. I definitely recommend her!
Her class presentations are EXTREMELY easy! Her lectures are oral which can be a bit difficult. She was really funny and entertaining! She had a lot of video examples that actually get the point across!
She is nice, and kind of mom like, she is very disorganized and opinionated and does not hand work back ever. Her lectures are a disorganized. If you can look past that her lectures are interesting and the information is interesting at least. I may have made her sound bad but she I enjoyed the class.
She assigns a lot of reading which some of it comes in handy for the exams. The exams are all writing. Very hard to take notes in her class because her lectures are oral and no powerpoint to follow along with. She is an easy grader who only assigns group projects and readings. Also, only a early midterm and a final exam for the exams.
Super nice professor, down to earth and easy to talk to or go to for help. Assigns tons of reading, but the exams are based right off the lectures and reading.
There are some parallels between Dr. Hauser's course and Dr. Palmeri's rhetoric classes in Communication Studies. But Orlee's knowledge and intelligence is far superior to his. She's a bit demanding in exams and quizzes, but she's never unfair. Fascinating lady! Take her class!
Very unorganized professor, would never take class again. The class is easy, but it drove me crazy how unorganized she was.
she is awful
Do not take a class with her. She just gives out random grades.
Loved her
Doesn't explain anything and if you don't get the audiences involved in your presentations she will downgrade you. Her exams are identical to her study guides. She takes random roll call so go to class everyday.
Very amazing professor. She is really understanding of personal issues that result in missed lectures. She's very open to new ideas for projects. I learned a lot from her and went out of my way to take another of her classes.
A terrible start toward my chosen field of study. Very unorganized, study guide useless, doesn't inform of grade, and doesn't return graded assignments in a timely manner. I would have sympathy but some effort for my understanding of the assignments is expected..
Was not helpful at all for my semester. She is a terribly slow grader, and does not follow the syllabus. She does not put in graded assignments on d2l, and ignores emails from students.
She is a slow grader but other than that she's an amazing prof. She makes you love what you are learning and really gets you to get involved.
She's extremely unorganized and didn't put any grades into d2l all semester.
One of my favorite professors. This class was hard, but rewarding. Hauser is super understanding of personal problems and will go way out of her way to help you out. Be ready to do a lot of writing, and make sure you read the assigned readings. Three hour classes went by like a breeze.
Just take her you will understand.
Didn't let anyone know of their progress (ie. if they were failing or doing well). Doesn't respond to emails with questions. Seems nice... over the computer. Lots of readings and "mini-assignments", also there are weekly assignments which are more on the difficult side.
She grades everything SUPER late so you do not know how good you're doing until the class is already over. Not to mention that it really feels like she just randomly grades things, my grades do not seem to reflect the work and accuracy I put into my own submitted material. Didn't feel like we learned much of anything either. Disappointing.
Love the way she set up the class - super organized. I also liked that she gave me personal feedback on assignments and such. She made her own powtoons for the class which was also pretty cool.
Orlee is an amazing prof. Her only downside is that she's a little disorganized. Very funny and great lectures. Three hour classes with her don't feel like a waste of my time. Take her!
She always shows up late. Literally 1 minute before we could leave, she shows up. She is extremely disorganized. She never puts in grades and cancels class a lot, but still expects us to do our projects, with no explanation on them. I was very excited when I signed up for this class, and was immediately disappointed. Never puts notes up on D2L. :(
Orlee is probably the best lecture I've ever taken. She is hilarious, but also stays on topic. There are group projects, but they are fun social experiments! I would 100% recommend her! Such a fun professor!
she was very disorganized and never seemed to stay on track for most of the time. the classes weren't put together very well. to be honest i couldnt tell you what i learned from the class since it was little to none. she never put anything in d2l which sucks and i dont know any of the grades i got on papers, projects, or the tests :/
Completely disorganized, doesn't make powerpoints and talks for the full three hours of the lecture. Assigns all of her assignments at the beginning of the semester and then never mentions them again. I'm sitting in her class right now, and if I told you I could read her handwriting on the board, I'd be lying. DO NOT TAKE HER IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
I love Orlee. Yes, she's disorganized, but it doesn't generally affect students. She tends to push back due dates and offer rewrites if things weren't clear. Very understanding and compassionate. Her lectures are on point and she always makes funny Canadian jokes. One of the best at UWO.
Doesn't assign homework that relates to course material, and the readings take up to 4 hours each (there's 5 total). We didn't have to buy a book which was nice, but the readings really got ridiculous after one or two of them.
I just finished Sociology with professor Hauser, and she is one of the worst professors I have ever had. Orlee Hauser is super unorganized and doesn't even put grades into d2l until final grades are do after the semester is over. All assignments are due until the end. This may sound nice but it is not at all. She does not keep us updated at all.
She made me love class! I loved the fact that she treated us like adults when it came to handing things in by making things due by the last day it made it easier for me to plan my schedule. she's really nice and funny to
She is great
The worst professor I've had. Horrible. Don't do it. Trust me.
This class was really fu n. I didn't think it would be but she mixes lecture with films and stuff and if you do the work, you'll do well for real. It took me a coupe hours every day and sometimes I skipped days and caught up on the weekend but overal it was fun. I've had her for other in person classes and she is pretty great there too.
Professor Hauser is a sweetheart. Most assignments due on last day of class. Take home final. Decently easy mid-term if you pay attention in class. Great quest 2 course.
I learned so much during this class! But beware, if you fall behind on assignments it can be hard to catch up - though I came to her and she helped me. I would recommend her to any one.
A person who is interested in the subject they are teaching, more of less to find oneself.
I've had her for 2 classes. She's clueless on how to be a professor. Her syllabus are meaningless because she just talks about whatever she wants. She assigns tons of journal article readings and then essay questions to submit for midterm and final. She doesn't grade anything until the semester is over so you have no clue how you are doing.
I take every course I can get withher. She's an amazing lecturer and she gets students so she uses examples we can relate to. I like her use of video clips to back up vocab. She's one of the best profs I've had here at UWO
She the most disorganized professor I have ever had. Her lectures don't follow the syllabus and she will not grade anything until the end of the semester so good luck knowing how you're doing. She does care about the material though, maybe too much. A paper I wrote was downgraded because of the file name.
She made the class really chill haha. Dr. Hauser is really laid back. One of the simplest courses I ever took. Just take her class lol You'll see what I mean.
Shes a good prof. Cares about stduents and knows her stuff. You wold be wise to take her classes.
shes an amazing prof. She makes the 3 hour class go by quickly because she mixes it up with discussion and examples. My friends and I all love her.
Very boring classes, but very easy class. took 2 quizzes the whole semester and did one presentation. Not a lot of homework either. She says she takes off for attendance but I didn't get any points taken off. Easy A
She was honestly kind of lazy (though some might call her laid-back). Never received any grades from her so I have no idea how I'm doing in the class. She does not reply back to emails (I've heard this from other classmates). She's just not very accessible and seems like she doesn't care about her students and how they're doing.
Only graded on 4 tests and a project. An overall easy class if you show up and take notes. Shes an alright professor, gave a lot of videos to review and movies to connect to topics.
Orlee is really chill. She doesn't assign much homework. She has online reading quizzes that aren't difficult at all, and the quizzes have unlimited time. We had 2 exams, both were online, open notes, and unlimited time (with the exam being due at least before the next class).
Never answers emails. Late EVERY class. She rushes and puts in bogus grades cause shes behind. Wouldnt give full participation credit when I went to EVERY class and did all in/out of class work, and was one of the only people to contribute to class discussions but was told "nothing you said was exceptional enough". Easy material LAZY professor
Now that everything is online cause of covid I thought that class would be boring but it isnt She's so good with online stuff. This class is keeping me sane!
terrible teacher, very arrogant, and acts like she knows everything. worst professor I ever had
I love Dr. Hauser. Can't believe she'sleaving. I'm going to miss her and the soc department won't ever be the same.
