Randi is a great prof - really knows her stuff & teaches it well

Tough but fair. I like her and plan to take many more courses from her in the future.

Dr. Warne is a great professor, but she is a tough marker and expects a lot from her students. I highly recommend her as a prof. if you are a serious student who doesn't mind working hard who wants to learn something.

Initially a turn-off (thinks she's awfully smart & hip), but warmed to her, so stick with it! Explanations are extremely clear. Not very detailed essay feed-back. But genuinely kind & interested in how students are doing. Very open door.

I'm confused as to why someone would say that randi is not hip. She's hipper than hip. eat my shorts.

Gah, Love her. She may mark alittle hard but she really hints for the tests and she loves buffy.

Not the teacher for you if don't like Buffy the vampire slayer or bad jokes. Class wasn't structured at all and was mostly watching movies and discussion in small groups. Also has her own small cult of devoted followers.

Any fan of BtVS is a good prof

Very difficult marker and doesn't leave very many comments on what she does mark. Class itself is interesting, but it was a little difficult to pick out what was important because of all the videos/clips we watched in class. Doesn't follow her syllabus at all, either.

I like Randi.Any bad mark was deserved because I missed the point.Then I got better.The course is not hard if you are willing to change your thinking. That is why you are there in the first place. She clarifys everything that is imp. even the videos. If you fail you are not listening?!

Whoa!!!!!!!!11 Is all I have to say...what a dork. Fun class at times, but prepare to hate Disney and everything disney stands for. she overall a good prof, but can get hung up on very small irrelevant issues, which waists class time.

Loved her. She rules. Buffy for life haha

Randi Warne is amazing. Simply put, an amazing woman. As a professor, she is animated in the classroom, but is very fair. You can complain all you want about marks that YOU got on things, but point the finger at yourselves and not at Randi. I loved her class, and frankly it made me consider taking CULS on as a second minor.

I thought Randi was a great teacher- have a lot of respect for her. I didnt think id like the class until i took it- she made it a lot of fun and i am very glad i stuck with it. concepts at times were hard to grasp, but in the end you know you earned your mark, because you definatly have to work for it. (but hey, thats good)

I LOVED HER! Great class discussions which helped me to grasp material better :0) Great job Randi. Regarding those other postings, this prof is not irrelevant...what class where you in???

Great prof, she really knows her stuff...but the subject itself was kind of hard to make interesting...

Great teacher, definitely the class and teacher I've enjoyed most so far! If you want a good, enjoyable class with lively discussion, pick anything of hers. Not only is it fun, it's actually worth something. Definitely not a bird course.

Really good prof. Made class very interesting and enjoyable. Has good stories. Really knows her stuff! Fair marker. Gives really good exam prep. questions. I hope to take more classes that she teaches.

Dr. Warne is an amazing professor, who knows her material vividly, and has an uncanny ability to integrate personal experience into her rhetoric as example. Few professors can keep a class interested like Dr. Warne.

I liked Randi as a prof, but the class wasn't as interesting as I thought it was going to be and the presence of her fanclub/cult following was very distracting and irritating.

Hilarious and very interesting. Kind of a hard marker on papers. When it comes to exams, she tells you exactly what to study! WONDERFUL. I was always learning something new in the class and being able to understand and absorb it. Most knowledge I gained in my first year of university was in her Culture class.

Evil was hilarious, Randi is so much fun to take a class with and to run into in the hallway or cafeteria. It was very easy to follow if you get her clever sense of humour and she is a very fair marker who will even change your mark if you meet with her to explain your thinking on any of your arguments. Loved her class. I took Advanced too!

Amazing class, Its an easy class if you keep up with the readings and pay attention to what she is talking about because she clearly tells you what she expects of us on the final exam. Yes she doe go off a bit some times; but I havent met a professor the has not done that.

Randi is amazing. She is clear with everything and tells you EXACTLY often word for word what she is expecting you to know for the final. There are no tricks or hidden agendas with her, she explains everything and expects you to come to her if you are having trouble.Do your work, DEFINITELY do the readings for class.

She is pretty funny, and knows her stuff! hard marker at the beginning, but makes it clear to students what she wants so you can improve your grade. dont need to take notes, just highlight the book that she quotes from every lecture.

Do the readings. Highlight the notes. Go to class and take notes in class. Ask Questions. She is a good prof. :) Has a passion for what she does and will help you out if you go to class.

If stuck in your ways, don't bother. Teaching method more abstract than other profs. Memorize concepts and big ideas over small details. Take notes and use them for papers... concepts will help you for sure grade-wise. Will tell you EXACTLY what will be on exams. Do readings! Ask for meetings to clarify. Not easy classes, but super interesting.

Really liked her as a prof and a teacher. She knows what she is talking about and is clear on what will be on her exams. Go to her class and show an interest, she will love you. She is a great person and cares about her students doing well. Always there to help you out when you need it! I enjoy taking classes with her! :)

It took me a few weeks to really "get" Randi's teaching style, but once I figured out how to keep track during her lectures, I found that I really enjoyed her laid-back, casual way of teaching big concepts. She makes them seem much less daunting and scary. Take notes and highlight what she quotes from the textbook and you'll be fine. :)

I had no idea what to expect, but I am really glad I had her. She uses personal examples to teach abstract perspectives, and she's not stuffy and boring while she does it. If you don't "get it", she will help. She was great! Don't rely on the book alone. Go to class, as she clearly lets you know what will be expected on examsessays.

Randi has a super interesting teaching style that takes a while to get used to. She is very eccentric and talks about her life a lot but the class overall was super interesting. Shawn the TA ends up teaching a lot and is super straightforward on what to expect. It was a great class and I'm glad took one of her classes

Here's what you do: Do not miss class. Ask questions in class or through TA or office hours for clarification and for extra help on all assignments - even if you feel like you don't have to. Subject and materials are worth understanding for any academic background. Challenging, but very rewarding course, loved it.

Dr. Warne is fantastic. She is a fair marker, good to talk to, and an overall great person. Unfortunately, I did have trouble following in her classes due to her teaching methods, and found what I did understand to be dreadfully boring. To get a good mark in her class, you must attend every lecture and do the readings.

If you don't show up, do the readings, and pay attention, you won't be passing. Pretty straight forward. But she's a great prof, she cares SO MUCH, and she's a fair marker (tough, but not unnecessarily so.) I had a major problem with a student in class and she did everything she could to accommodate.

One of the best profs I've ever had; she is engaging, possesses expert knowledge on the subject, and does an excellent job at cultivating a safe learning environment for her students. This class deals with a lot of broad, abstract sociological and philosophical concepts, but she makes herself available both in and out of class to discuss questions

Dr. Warne is amazing, she's so personable and kind, her lectures are incredibly engaging and she picks really interesting material to read and discuss, and she has the best stories that are tangentially related to her class material.

great interactive lectures!

Randi Warne is amazing. She definitely has a unique teaching style, but that makes it fun. She adds a lot of information verbally and uses film, text, and some technology (PowerPoint) to deliver materials, but if you take notes while shes speaking youll be fine in her class. If youre confused just speak with her and she will turn on the light.

Randi is a great professor! She may get a little off topic sometimes and go off on tangents but she is very understanding, and flexible with assignment dates WITH VALID REASONS. She's a great prof to chat with, and is always willing to help. Marks fairly and will even regrade your work and give you a higher grade than before. She won't lower it :)

Dr. Warne is an amazing professor. She might seem tough at first glance, but she has a very unique style. She's participative and open to suggestions; she loves when you have doubt and ask her questions -- she makes clear that if you have any doubt, you have to let her know. Her email responses are fast! I highly recommend her and her courses!

Great course, I've had many classes taught by her and I've enjoyed them all. Accessible outside of class, she does lose work so KEEP EXTRA COPIES/TIME STAMPS/ SCREENSHOTS and you'll be fine.
