I highly recommend this teacher, she was extremely helpful if you had any trouble. All of her questions for exams were directly out of lectures and readings. She was very animated and obviously loved her subject. Attend the class and ask questions, either in class or during office hours, and you will do well.

Great teacher, very passionate and approachable. Loves the subject she teaches and knows a lot about it. One of the the best teachers I've had thus far.

I understand that some people found her hard to understand (she's French and often warbles her English) but I'm French myself so it wasn't so hard. Tough on grading, but she's passionate and animate about her subject so you'll have great fun learning about the Romans ;)

Made roman art interesting! She great, passionate! Made morning classes go by super fast!

She is a great teacher and will help you if you have trouble with the class. She talks VERY fast, so you have to really listen and you'll probably end up taking 6 pages of notes per class. However, I really liked her and I recommend her.

She is an amazing prof! Really passionate and funny. re ignited my love for the topic. straight forward teaching style. just take good notes!

Amazing prof. Extremely helpful and speaks with enthusiasm. If you are interested in the romans she is the one to take. Highly recommend. Not an easy class but if you do your work she will grade you fairly

Great teacher. Knows what she's talking about and is fun to engage with. No final, midterm 50%. Worth taking. Interesting class, and she's nice too.

Renee teaches in a different way than most teachers, her structuring of the course content only makes sense to her but once you get to know her, you understand. Her exams are terms from class notes, make sure you know your events, names and overall outcome. She does not care about dates, if you have a good memory, you will enjoy this class.

Madame Bouchard gives a lot of opportunities to improve your knowledge . Her grading criteria are clear as well as she gives a lot of useful instructions before the exams. If you go to the class and listen, you will not have any bigger problems with having a good grade. She has a good sense of humour.

Personally loved her lecture style, but I admit it's not for everyone. I found lectures to be gripping and interesting. It's a lot of info and she goes through it quickly, but she clarifies very well if asked to. Just don't skip class - her quizzes are based on the lectures. Pay attention, take meticulous notes, and you'll do fine.

I love her classes and will take any other available at 6:00pm. Classes are very interesting and teacher friendly. Patrticipation and everything you hear in the class metters .

By far my favourite professor at Concordia. She is very clear in her instructions but is a very hard marker. Once you have taken one of her exams, you will know what to expect. No essays, just 3-4 quizzes worth 15-20% each. She gives at least one bonus work per semester. If you want to fall in love with Roman/Greek history, she is your lady!

Professor Bouchard is one of my favourite teachers I've had at Concordia. Yes it's true that she goes through lectures quite quickly and going to class is a MUST but if you attend class, listen, take notes and ask for help (if needed), you will do great.

Had her for Greek History from the Bronze age to Alex, and man was it fun. She's wickedly funny, and adds her own commentary on events that would seem otherwise dull. Yes she goes a bit fast through lectures, but she always slows down when asked. Reading the book and attending lectures if necessary to get good grades, but it's not that much reading

Professor Bouchard is my favourite teacher and even if my grades for her classes weren't the best, I am going to take another classes with her. You have to pay attention what she is saying, because you won't find everything in the book. The only problem for me was the quantity of the material- too much information;)

I had her twice. If you want an A, focus and take notes very carefully, learn them by heart and you will be very fine on quizzes. At the beginning record her if you feel it goes too fast. No pop quizzes, no final exam. Only 3 quizzes and one midterm. Hilarious and passionate about the material! Very knowledgeable and comical

Very knowledgeable, energic and hilarious. Makes you feel good about heavy subject but very accessible in class and outside class. An A on the exam comes from your ability to take great notes she lectures carefully. Record lecture at first and review notes taken but you will become a great note taker after !

Renee is very energetic and enthusiastic, and often quite funny. She lectures quickly but I managed to take pretty good notes. Lots of quizzes/tests with some tricky questions but she really wants her students to do well and gives many make-up opportunities. I liked her a lot, and learned a lot!

Renée is a wonderful teacher. She is very invested in her lectures and makes the class laugh a lot. She makes her expectations very clear early on. In CLAS 242 all the material came from lectures, and to study all we had to do was memorize our notes.

I took this class as an elective. She was by far one of the best teachers I had at Concordia. Yes, you have to go to class. Take note of everything she says and I mean EVERYTHING, even if it looks useless, it's most probably going to be on the exam. The tests/midterm is very specific and they all count for a lot so you can't screw up any of them.

Funny sense of humour, entertaining. Does not have powerpoints, you have to go to every class. Everything written on board will most likely be a question on quizzes/midterms. Put the effort into seeing her regarding any questions, she will boost your grade. I made a major mistake on the midterm due to a misunderstanding, she boosted my final grade.

Enjoying class so far. She talks quite quickly and it can be difficult to get down everything she says live. Material is engaging, and she is very passionate while lecturing which makes content more interesting. Bouchard is also very funny and made me laugh while watching recordings. she also shows us her cat on zoom and he is very cute :)

I think she is one of the funnest professors I have ever had. Her classes are lecture heavy but if you take good notes and are good at memorizing, her classes are amazing. She is so funny, she knows her stuff. I honestly took all the classes I could with her. Would recommend if you have good memory skills.

Great prof. Nice person. Cares about her students. Posts recordings of lectures online. Exams are multiple choice. If you listen in class, you will be ok. Her papers are short and precise. Gives detailed instructions on what she wants from you. If you need help, she'll help you. My fav prof so far at Concorida. Corrects exams fast.

Professor Bouchard is the best choice if you have a good memory and want little exams/quizzes. Never skip a class and pay lots of attention to what she says because all the details matter, even those you think are not that important. Once you get used to her style, any class you take with her will be an easy A+.

She's one of the most fun teachers I've ever had. This was my first classics class and she made everything so interesting. Her lectures were long and there was a lot of information to learn for each quiz. I feel like the class is hard but she made it so enjoyable so it was worth it.

Bouchard is the most positive, enthusiastic, and captivating professor I have ever had. I loved her class so much in the first semester that I changed my schedule to have her in the second semester. Her tests are based on lecture material, she is a little tricky with the phrasing of exam questions, but her exams are in no way difficult.

Her fun personality made each lecture really fun to watch. You can tell she loves teaching the history of the Roman Empire. Given it was a 3-hour class, it did feel like a lot of information was given during each lecture, but I tortured myself by transcribing EVERY word she said using split screen - it's the only way to get an A in this class!

She's the best, very fun, easy tests

I couldn't select enough tags, but Prof Bouchard is super entertaining and gives some of the best lectures I've attended at the university level. I've never attended a single lecture in which she wasn't captivating and always does an excellent job of sharing information with us on any topic. She cares about the students and material she teaches.

Professor Bouchard's courses all have the same structure. You don't have to write long papers and do extensive research. What you must do is memorize her lectures! All quizzes and exams are multiple choice, so if you excel in courses like that...TAKE HER! Her lectures can be a bit hard to follow sometimes, but take good notes and you'll be fine!

I took this class despite the negative reviews here and I loved it! She is funny, sweet and overall a great prof. There is a lot to memorize but if you attend class and write good notes, you'll do well.

You will either love her style, or absolutely hate it! You have to attend her lectures. All tests are based solely on the notes you take in class, so make sure they're thorough, and I mean very very thorough. She is hilarious, very open to joking in class. She has a great wealth of knowledge on the topics she teaches.

Great professor with a lot of enthusiasm. Attend all classes and take notes on whatever she mentions IN CLASS!!! That's what she will put in the quizzes. She doesn't provide any notes it's just the textbook so TAKE NOTES!!!!, you'll save yourself a lot of time. She cares about her students and she's very reasonable.Would take her class again!!!!!!

She is a good professor overall; her lectures are really fun, and she loves to make the entire class laugh now and then. There are 4 tests, and that is pretty much your entire semester. The tests often include niche questions that refer to very specific moments from class. The lectures can get overwhelming and sometimes feel too long, though.

Very good teacher, make sure you go to her lectures and you will have a good grade.

Amazing prof. Cares very much about her students, keeps lectures interesting. Textbook is useful, but not required as long as you show up to lectures and pay attention.

Fantastic teacher! If you go to class and take detailed notes, you will do very well. All tests are purely recall. Lectures are super funny and interesting, and fairly well organized. No need to read the textbook just go to every class!
