GREAT PROFESSOR!
Ok, she is funny person,her classes are OK. Instead of explaining material she will give you multiple choice to learn it by yourself. Not really clear about grading criteria,but overall a good teacher. Can not say anything bad or good,like meh.
Love her, she is a great marker
You NEED to go to her class so you can pass. She explains everything to you. She es a really good teacher!
One of the best teacher i ever had, I strongly suggest to follow her class.
Go to class. Do your work. She is open and will help you when she can.
i don't like her as a teacher. She doesn't explain and she is a tough grader
Nice teacher but will give unexpected pop quizzes ! Overall, fair marker and she likes to tell stories to the class :)
She's the worst instructor I've ever had the misfortune to have. This woman wastes half the class chatting about her life and the other half yelling. Grading criteria is vague. Disrespectful to students and doesn't care to answer questions effectively. Reads of a word-for-word script. Terrible!
gives no valuable feedback, criteria for grades are all over the place, yells in class, disrespectful to students, rude
third term having her, love her! she cares about us. she goes out of her way for us.
Rona is a good choice for a teacher. She is fair and you can learn a lot in her class. Do not miss her classes. She taught me COMM1007 and now GHUM1087.
Extremely unclear and vague instructions, does not care to explain anything without giving attitude because you haven't understood. Provides no marking rubrics so criteria are a shot in the dark. Worst teacher I've ever had.
Disrespectful uses non verbal communication to make students feel stupid Students ask questions and she tends to roll her eyes, exaggerates her sighs, and/or groans. seriously? How. do. you. NOT. know. this? as a result, she cultivates a hostile environment as many students are afraid to ask questions
She is hypocritical, she is suppose to be teaching students about ethics, yet she spent over 30 minutes trash talking other women she hates at her country club direct quote: shes a you-know-what HAHAH Another woman who was having difficulties getting along with Rona wrote her a letter expressing her feelings and Rona made fun of her
I have Rona for this course and I think she has done a fine job. Rona has helped me outside of class, and gave me opportunities due to some hard personal times I was having. Her marking is very fair. She gives feedback and bonus marks. I liked her a lot. I would pick her as a future professor if I could.
Professor Rona gave me chances that no other professor have given me. She is easy to talk to. I would choose her again.
She creates a hostile environment for students who are scared to ask for clarification, yet she is unclear in her expectations. Overall, I just want to honestly warn students to not take this class. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
Slides are not useful. Instructions are not clear. Grading is unfair. Assignments are tedious and useless. Would not take her again.
Very useless prof, she will make you feel lousy about your work, she is very hypocritical.. she gossips alot.. i dont even know how she even got to teaching this subject.. george brown failed because they hired her. She picks favortites, shes rude, shes not understanding, shes not fair, shes a garbage prof who brings her own problems to class.
Rona was my prof for three courses. She is so nice. I do not understand why people are being so mean. I wish I could have her for another course.
I don't enjoy her class, very boring. She is rude and intimidating... I feel scared to ask a question or go to her for help. She is a control freak and expects everything to be her way. I'm sure she has a nice side to her but I don't think she should be teaching with the attitude she gives off... I don't really suggest her as a prof tbh.
Rona is a solid choice. She varies her classes but makes you work for your grades. Everyone comes to classes. I would like to take another course with her.
Great teacher. All her classes are fun and interactive. Learned a lot. She makes coming to an 8 AM class enjoyable.
Negative: She is a very loud person, and sometimes could be more empathetic and respectful with students. She is not good at going through material and ends up mostly reading it. Positive: Mostly in-class assignments, so there is not much homework. And she is very clear about grading criteria, you'll do good if you follow the rubric
Listen to her instructions. Will meet with you after class and give you a second chance. Do not miss class. Read her messages on blackboard. Puts marks on blackboard right away. Very fair and easy to talk to. Taking next course with her for the spring.
Favourite prof. As long as you show up, and do your assignments you will get a good mark. She is super supportive and extremely fair- so many people would never show up to class or have anything done and then wonder why they weren't doing well. She's honestly so great as long as your actually taking the course seriously.
Rona was an awesome professor. She is funny and personable. There are many in class assignments so attendance is mandatory- she actually said on the first day that as long as we show up to her class we will do well. Easy to talk to and get ahold with outside of class.
Beginning of course. Good Review of previous class.
Would definitely not recommend her as a teacher. I found she favoured students, and would pick on certain ones. VERRRY RUDE! Always feels like you are walking on egg shells in her class. She is not fair on her grading, and rushes you on in class assignments. I felt bad especially for this one boy in my class because she was never nice to him.
She is a pretty good teacher. Rona is a nice person too. But her lessons werent helpful for me (nothing new). People, who are unhappy with her, just are very lazy students. She requires very little.
Rona is fine, but she is a very specific person. You will pass if you will attend each lesson and do all small assignments, however the final test is quite difficult and really very very long and huge. She is really kind as a person, but she is not good as a teacher, as she was reading all lectures. Plus a lot of group projects.
Rona was my prof and she gave me many opportunities to improve my marks. She was vey nice and very fair. Learned a lot from her grammar lesson.
I found Rona extremely disorganized, unprepared and lacking overall professionalism. She altered class/lesson plans quite frequently and on very short notice. In addition, she often ended class halfway through, forgot assignments, communicated with students in an unfitting manner and showed little care for teaching or the class itself.
Ms. Rona taught us GHUM1087. This course has a lot of heavy material. Rona really cares about her student's success. She helps you out if you come to her class and does the work. She is very funny and was helpful to me in ever way. I hope I will have her as a professor for another course.
better prof out there
Rona K has begun teaching this course this term. I like her and find what she delivers in her lectures so inspiring.
Professor Kaushansky is the best choice. Easy to talk to, knows her stuff and is fair to everyone. I can not wait to have her as a Professor again. GHUM 1087 - take her.
Unclear grading criteria, rude and accusatory. Dislike.
She is terrible, doesn't know how to teach, unclear explanation, unfair grader. And also very rude.
Solid professor. Follow her instructions. Always available. Interesting lectures.
She was an amazing prof, though there were times that she was impulsive when approaching students. She loved to give group projects with role-play recorded through video, then everyone in class must watch the role-play presentation. It was a mixed feelings: embarrassing, exciting, fun, time consuming yet enhancing one's skill. Challenging!
She is awful! She is supposed to teach successful social relations but she didn't make an effort to it. Everyone was uncomfortable in her class, she is not a fair grader! I did well in that class but I wouldn't recommend her at all. She is very rude and tends to pick on people.
So terrible, doesnt know how to use technology. For a teacher teaching social relations, does not know how to properly communicate to students. Treats students like children and is extremely disrespectful.
had her during covid-19, was completely unreasonable in the given situation. completely uncaring and unwilling to be reasonable. failed to give clear instructions on a number of assignment impacting the marks, while postingt the rubric the day after the item was due. She can be very rude and almost angry during lectures. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!!!
Avoid her at all costs. A very unfair grader. She never tells how she grades everyone's papers, which makes it really ambiguous and unworthy of taking this class. She has a rubric for project and stuff but never follows it and grades however she feels.
SHE IS VERY AWFUL , UNFAIR GRADER , SHE ALWAYS READS PAPERS AND WANT A STUDENT TO BE A BOOKWORM , AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS HARD GRADER
Probably the worst prof you'll ever take. Tough grader, she's not fair and grades however she feels, and if you make a tiny mistake regarding citation, you might get a 0 or anything close to that. Very impulsive, even though sometimes she can be kind to you. Overall, please avoid her.
Okay this women is actually an awful teacher and an awful person LOL - I am a smart student so it's not like I'm butt hurt over my grade but I honestly hated her and her class. She taught success social relations and it is so ironic because she is horrible at communicating, extremely passive aggressive and rude. Take someone else if you can.
Horrible. Even though this is a synchronous class, she post her lectures online and then expects flawless group presentations (FYI, all projects are in groups). And god forbid you have a group member that doesn't contribute at all, either you all get a zero or a mark deduction which is super unfair to those who actually worked hard and contributed.
This professor is so disrespectful with her students, she is extremely rude, she doesn't know how to communicate properly, and considering that she teaches a course called Successful Social Relations, that's so stupid.
I took her class this summer and it was TERRIBLE. I have a 3.8 GPA, and I almost failed. She doesn't give clear instructions, attendance mandatory but lectures are not taught. She failed the ENTIRE CLASS on our last assignment but gave no negative comments on the assignment other than "Disappointed". Every other comment was positive.
I am currently taking her class for the Fall semester for GHUM 1087 and I would not recommend her. She has no manners, period. She is abrasive, interrupts presentations, marks unfairly (happened to me) and rarely shows up for lectures so that the class can have reviews on the quizzes. There are so many bad reviews on here but nothing's done.
Rona comes off as a nice person till she starts to teach, in her lectures she is just prudish and rude, she cant answer a question in a polite tone.
She is teaching social relations but is very rude to students. Has a short temper and barely hosts lectures. When emailing her she is short and does not answer questions. She should not be teaching social relations. She is not understanding in the least or gives clear instructions.
Just simple words: Dont take her class. She barely shows up for virtual class, but just provides materials and gives a bunch of tricky questions in limited time on quizzes and tests. We must study all chapters for final test which is freaking on another level. She acted quite rude and arrogant while getting questions from students.
She's unpolit
Rona doesnt care if you pass or fail, she doesn't even care to teach you. After 15 weeks of putting up with her I am here leaving a review after my final exam and let me tell you that this is not a professor you want at all! She didn't teach once she just gives out modules and doesn't hold a class ever. AVOID AT ALL COSTS SO YOUR GPA DOESNT SINK!!!
no lecture in class, need to have self-study having unrelated questions in quizzes don't choose her course
She is the rudest Prof. You should not ask any questions cause her answers will be, YOU DID NOT READ WEEKLY FOLDERS, EVERYTHING IS VERY CLEAR THERE. very bad with scoring
She is a disgrace to teaching. No respect for students, super rude, would not care about you at all. Taking her was literally the worst decision of my life. No, I am not exaggerating... it really was the worst decision, It costed me $1600.
If GBC or Rona herself is reading this. Please leave the college Rona or leave the students alone. You are not a good person, not a good prof, and I don't know how you even got this job.
gives low marks, force you in group with people who won't work. Never gives a lectures, only Q&A, never actually solve questions and problems addressed by students. Gives hard exams that are never taught. My advise is DON'T take her and drop if you are taking her class
Trust me look for another professor
Awful prof. She made me drop the course. Go with another prof. She will ruin your GPA no matter how hard you work.
She will teach human skills.... hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, omg rofl she f***ing doesn't know how to behave with students. She should learn to talk politely first.
Never give lectures. Classes start at 8, but choose to start class at 9. Teaches successful social relations but does not have the skills herself. Overall a very RUDE person and probably one of the WORST lecturer I have encounter, so STAY AWAY FROM HER CLASS!!
she is not fair on her grading, many people from my class failed because she didn't grade as it says in the assignments rubrics.
A little disappointed with the course
Prepare to learn everything by yourself and do lots of group work and presentations. You will barely see her because she doesn't give lectures. She does not follow her rubric when grading and is quite disrespectful to her students. I was really disappointed because the material was quite interesting.
This professor was definitely in the top 5 of my favorites since I've been at GBC. She's funny, caring, and nice to talk to. The course itself does require you to do lots of group work but she as a professor herself? Awesome! I'd definitely take her class if I were you. Be sure to follow instructions properly and go to class..on time! All the best.
Professor Kaushansky was so awesome. Rona would share her wisdom with the class. Everyone had time to participate. Her lectures were fun and so interesting. Too many group projects.
Rona is a great professor if you take the time to know her. She is a kind and understanding person that will be flexible if you are reasonable with what you are asking of her. However, she often gets frustrated with students over minor things. It can be taken too far and cross some lines with students. A more gentle approach is needed.
That is make perfect sense why so many students rate her one star. I wish I could read those common before I choose her.
Her grading criteria aren't clear. You do the assignment accordingly, but she comes up with new requirements that lower the mark. If you miss a class, you won't be allowed to participate in a group project. She reads the notes and doesn't engage with students enough. She creates an intense atmosphere for students. Avoid this professor.
Was scared after reading reviews, but it turned out that Rona is a great prof! Not a lot of material, so her explaination is ok (tests are easy if u understand what's going on). Group projects are every 2-3 weeks(!), so be ready to come to every class IN-PERSON (if it isn't for u, take an online course). Follow her instructions and u'll be good!
All quizzes and tests were MCQs without sufficient time given. Lectures are very short and unhelpful. MCQs are made from small unimportant details from the textbook that are easy to miss. No preview nor review for test and quizzes at all. She also has an attitude when talking or replying to emails. Please avoid if possible.
all the good reviews in here are from her lol.
She' s
Already enough bad reviews here but she's so bad that I can't help but add one more.. Literally the LAST person you would expect to learn "Human Skills" from. She lacks all the things she's trying to teach herself. Reads off a paper like a high school student, never smiles, SUPER RUDE, It's like she wakes up on the wrong side of the bed EVERYDAY.
Very mean. Tough grader. If you get COVID make sure to still attend class or you'll get a 0
The worst professor i've ever had. Could not be more rude, ironically teaches about customer service, and acts as the worst customer someone could ever encounter. I do not have any compliments nor reasons to thank this teacher.
There were only 4 actual lectures; the rest was tests and 3 time-consuming presentations which would take a whole week for you with harsh grading. Attendance is mandatory to earn grades. I still remember her saying, “Empathy means to put your feet in someone else's shoes” yet she showed zero understanding toward students. Take the reviews serious!
Professor Rona is an amazing teacher! She is honest, supportive, and creates a great learning environment. I truly enjoyed her class and our presentations, it was both engaging and rewarding. I would definitely take another course with her in the future!
There are enough reviews, but I would say she is by far the most incompetent, toxic, and unprofessional professor I have ever encountered. Her behaviour is abusive, irrational, and deeply harmful to students. She is completely unqualified to teach human skills—or anything at all. For your education and well-being, avoid her at all costs.
Tough but if you work hard you can get good grades
