Seema's classes are great for people who truly want to understand sociology. Her instructions for essays and book reviews are clearly laid out so no one should have trouble getting a half decent grade in her class. Her tests are detail-oriented.

she's awesome! really friendly, helpful, and interesting. She talks about stuff no one else wants to bring up.

She's great, very intelligent, kind and speaks to you on your level. She makes it easy to talk to her and to ask questions. a fun class

an incredible teacher! makes class very fun and interesting. you won't get bored even in the 3 hour classes. talks about interesting things and does interesting activities.. i highly recommend seema!

honestly one of the best profs i've had; makes you think about the real world; extremelly intelligent/fair; tells it like it is; get to participate in talking circles (they're fun)

Talks all Proper but she's not. Acts like she is way too SCHOLARLY for you to ever be able to disagree with her. During her lecture, she finishes every statement with "Mmkay?" Like we're all idiots unless we have the same education she has.

Seema is a refreshing teacher to see at a University slash College. She brings up issues that other profs wont touch, she does it in a very proper manner however. She has high expectations but will do everything she can to help.

she's a good teacher

She is easy! I took my first semster in college and had her course and pulled an A-, plus im a lazy guy so if u try its easy.

No final exam. Midterms are easy as long as you study all the key terms. A lot of the questions on the midterms are asking for definitions of the terms.

Although i am not good at sociolgy, i still think that she is a nice teacher, especially the talking circle.Her test is not hard, if you read the text book well ane her notes.

Very clear and easy class, but she leaves early almost every evening. Lectures are mostly straight from the text and she speaks to you as if you were three years old.

Pretty easy class. The exams are easier than the paper. Read the text and you'll do fine on the exam. Seema makes class enjoyable and fun. She is very understanding. I would defintely recommend her as an instructor! 8.5/10

seema's energy is infectious. whole class couldn't help but giggle at her antics. she's a shining example of how passionate some professors are towards teaching. many others could learn a lot from her style, professionalism and persona.

her untraditional teaching style, i.e. native talking circles, is a great change to the ordinary hum-drum of class. very understanding towards personal problems. empathetic and caring

I was very impressed by her knowledge and openess about herself. If you are serious about your studies she will zone in on that which makes her job much more enjoyable. I like the course and topics covered.

Seema is very energetic and a good teacher.she gives straight forward tests and always gives HINTS of what is going to be on the test if you are paying attention.she is very nice and feel free to talk to her about class and she will give good advice. She

I loved this class because of the instructor.

Seema is THE most nicest, caring, and down to earth prof at Kwantlen. She does all she can to make sure her students are aware of whats going on and tries hard to make sure everyone gets good grades. She provides a non eurocentric pov, very important! You wont be dissapointed if you take her class

HONESTLY she is a great teacher. She makes you think critically and creates an awareness about the world and history. She gives lots of notes and are very informative. Her lectures are interesting. She is easy to get a hold of, you can make appointments with her and she responds quickly to emails:)

A really understanding, caring instructor. She certainly isn't **** and treats everyone equally. Only criticism - a little moody at times.

THERE ARE ALOT OF NOTES TO COPY DOWN FROM THE OVERHEAD, SHE'S FUNNY AND NICE. ALOT OF EXAMPLES ABOUT PUNJABI CULTURE. NO FINAL EXAM JUST AN ESSAY ON SOMETHING THAT EFFECTS YOU. OVERALL IT WAS AN OKAY CLASS.

No Comments

Very nice and educated. She tends to mark essays hard but anyone can pass (unless your dumber then a post)

Upon taking this class I realize how some students think she may have a bias point of view, but maybe it's the other way around and we're all too ignorant to see other cultures. She talks a lot of aboriginal peoples and their history in Canada, which we so often ignore in our studies. She wakes us up to what's outside our little bubble.

She's the only teacher that has been able to keep my attention for three hours straight. She always tries to involve the class. The best thing is, she knows the subject(of sociology) super well, so it's really easy to understand. She always sees how far she can push the students on touchy subjects.

if ur not too interested in the beginning, dont take her class she makes it boring & overall shes pretty weird. her notes cover most of the text but she blabs on about other crap...super nice tho & alwys leaves the class during exams =D

Very passionate about material and welcoming to all students.

pretty dope so far..lookin forward to her class...more girls need to transfer in tho

She is incredibly easy, tests are a breeze. She is, however, incredibly biased. People are saying that she just tells it how it is, but she only represents one side of every story. Maybe you'll like it, maybe you wont; either way, dont consider her to be an academic. I'm a member of a First Nations tribe and even I consider her biased

Seema is an excellent prof. She's completely fair, and very passionate about her teaching. She's a lovely person, very helpful and understanding, and really knows what she's talking about. Highly recommended if you actually want to take something away from a class!

Seema is excellent at lecturing, and her class is amazing. Her tests are a tad bit difficult because you have to study the text and extensive notes taken in class. Be prepared. Overall, a VERY interesting class! Seema rocks!

Be clear with your essay topic. As long as your essay is direct and clear, u'll get a good score on your paper. Besides the paper, i find the course OK..not too hard to handle for an introductry class

Seema is a great prof. She knows how to teach without forcing her ideas on you. Her class opened my eyes to many things. She's a strong intellegent women. Most importantly she makes you feel comfortable and allows you to speak your mind without hesitation.

People may thing Seema's views are biased, but I think they're not. People may think that way because she has views as a Sociologist. So what if you're offended by what she said, it's the way it is. Stop whining. Overall, she's an amazing prof, probably the best i've ever had.

If you complain about her bias then you obviously lack any real intelligence. As with everything academic, we as students are supposed to recognize bias and interpret it ourselves. She is an amazing woman and has so much to say. Her teaching style is unique as is her personality. The only real negative is that she is a VERY difficult marker.

An amazing teacher. She openened my eyes to the world and the way it works. Everybody should take her class and the world would be a better and more peaceful place. She is strongly opinionated and rightly so. The most fair and understanding teacher I've ever had.

Easy as all hell. Test questions come right out of the study guide. Very opinionated and NOT open to other opinions on papers or exams. Take the course if you want a easy A and dont mind regurgatating information back to someone. If you don't do well then you're probably trying to fail. She lacks an open mind though - clearly not an academic

SEEMA!! WOW! WUT A CLASS!!....SHEZ SOO UNDERSTANDING AND EASY! AND HER CLASSES R ALWAYZ FUN AND INTERESTING! GREAT PROF..TAKE HER :)

Anyone that's not willing to put value on others experiences shouldn't bother taking the and of her classes. You'd be waisting Seema's time, and your own. She's an amazing teacher and extraordinary person. I've never learned so much - text book and life lessons, in one course.

Interesting course, not within the scope of my future career but reasonably enjoyable to attend. Gives extensions on papers no questions asked. Some advice: if you aren't willing to listen to views on history other than your own, don't bother taking this course.

seema is an awesome teacher! ive had her for 2 classes and i was bummed i couldnt have her for this semester! not only is she a teacher but a friend and a inspiring person to listen to!

Seema was awesome. I enjoyed her fresh approach to teaching and I think she is a very learned individual. If you attend class regularly, you'll do fine. She's very understanding. I recommend her.

BREAKDOWN: 2 MIDTERMS-EACH WORTH 25% EACH, 1 RESEARCH PAPER ON A SOCIOLOGICAL ISSUE RELEVANT TO CANADIANS-WORTH 25%, AND 1 FINAL/TAKE HOME BOOK REVIEW-WORTH 25%, SHE GIVES YOU EXTENTIONS IF YOU ASK EARLY ENOUGH AND ATTENDING CLASS IS MANDATORY BECAUSE SHE TESTS ON SOME THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT IN CLASS. OVERALL SEEMA IS VERY KNOWLEDGABLE :)

Very knowledgeble u betcha. just that she swore a lot in class :(

awesome teacher. Very interesting. She shows a lot of videos/ youtube clips that are so interesting and eye openers. I would recommend this class to everyone. With tests, just make sure you know your terms.

such an interesting class! has been my fav teacher this sem. and made me love sociology. she makes you think about the real issues and her lectures are very interesting. exams are kinda hard but good teacher.

Really nice and helpful! Must agree with her opinions or else your grades will suffer, but if you go along with what she believes you will get an easy A. Makes class interesting, and engages peoples well by making the material relevant, and adding humour. If she likes you, she will go the extra length to help you. Shes awsome!

People say that Seema is in the business of selling "crazy". Well if that's the case, I'm SOLD! While I'm at it, I might as well get the extended warranty. She facilitates a very thought provoking class. Draws your attention to issues that are not normally discussed. Very knowledgeable. I would recommend this instructor.

Seema is amazing. Very funny, extremely smart, will do anything to help her students and see them succeed. As fun as she is though, she is strict about deadlines and due dates and you must keep up with course readings. Essays were quite short, compared to other professors. Only one exam, pretty fair grading, even a little on the generous side :)

She is great...learn alot ...althout at times i disagree with some of her views..but that is normal..you just have to keep an open mind..and learn!!!take her class

She is great...learn alot ...althout at times i disagree with some of her views..but that is normal..you just have to keep an open mind..and learn. take her class

Racist, Marxist, BIGOT. Why do some professors (Seema) insist on ranting about their world views instead of teaching?

she is very....motherly.

Excellent teacher! she is the nicest teacher I have ever met and it shows how she truly is as a person outside of class. Pick her as your teacher you will love her!

Passionate about the subject and definitely knows her stuff. My only problem is that Seema's pretty close minded, she tends to force her views onto the class and isn't open to views that conflict with her own. Overall an enjoyable class as long as you keep your mind open and avoid expressing your own views in class if it conflicts with her own.

I love Seema, one of the best profs I ever had. Such a nice lady and very engaged in class activites.

she is ok

I got an A- in the class overall, however i got that mark by having to agree with her distorted and biased views of the world. She's ok, she is genuinely a nice person but kinda pissed me off sometimes. I understand her husband is first nations and she sticks up for them, but she isn't first nations although she thinks she is...

Seemas a really interesting prof. I really enjoyed this class. It was a condensed class so it seemed like a ton of work but she made it all manageable. She is willing to give you help if you attend classes and show interest but if you don't she probably won't like you and wont provide you with the help that she would others (thats fair right?)

I have had her for first, second, and third year courses. I got A's every time. Just go to class and pay attention and skim the readings.

this is not a sociology class but a native history class. thats all u learn about. Her tests are really fair except for the written. She rarely gives out perfect scores not matter what u write.Only one person got 10/10 in my class. Shes crazy about grammar too so beware! Wouldnt take another class w/ her

This class is about racism in Canada. If you can't comprehend that racism exists in Canada don't take this class. Her class is centered around discrimination of Natives in Canada. She is extremely helpful and clear. Her lectures are engaging and she will do what she can to help you succeed. I plan on taking her classes again.

She can be a very controversial teacher for the small minded. If you don't get offended by people with off-average opinions than this is a very interesting class to take. You learn a very different perspective, likely different than what you have been taught before. Can be a little bit pushy with native issues but its not a big deal.

The most understanding teacher I've come across yet at Kwantlen. Class is straightforward and easy A

Seema is a very good teacher. If you show up to her class, pay attention to her lectures, and take notes- you'll receive an A. She is also very understanding! I would love to take another class with her. Highly recommend her class!

Seema is a wonderful and caring professor. Don't let other reviews scare you away; she's an amazing professor who is clearly passionate about what she does and has the years of experience to back it up. She is a genuinely caring person who wants you to do well and wants you to learn. If you're not going to try, don't bother taking her classes.

Seema's class material for soci 1125 mostly consists of aboriginal peoples studies. She has 5 quizzes (easy marks), 2 writing assignments, a group projects, and no exam, although she does give a final quiz! It is a fairly easy class to receive an A in, however you must not disagree with her perspective if you want to receive an A.

Go to class or you won't pass. Participation weighs as much as the midterm and final paper. Midterm was quite easy if you study, but quizzes are very specific and leave little room for maneuvering, especially if you are more suited towards essay questions. Group work and assignments are mandatory, so be prepared to participate.

Seema was an awesome prof at the beginning of the semester. She went downhill after the withdrawal date. Her lectures are very boring. ALL SHE TALKS ABOUT IS ABORIGINAL PEOPLES. Her midterm is tough , half of the things that are on there, we didn't even talk about. She thinks she's funny but is actually making a fool out of her self. I don't recom

Lectures are too compressed for a 1 hour class. Would be better suited to break up the discussion groups into a tutorial session. That being said, participation is mandatory due to group work, quizzes, and tests. Other than that, easy intro sociology course with heavy emphasis on First Nations issues...f you are familiar with history or econ

This professor enjoys what she does, very nice too students, knows a lot about the subject. great professor

Might seem really nice in the beginning of the semester, but slowly shows her true self halfway. Participation matters 100%. If you don't attend her class, you will guarantee fail. However, she does extend assignments, but she takes a long time to hand them back to students. Also, takes A WHILE to put up the final grades on the kpu website.

Everyone complains about Seema putting heavy emphasis on Aboriginals but the fact of the matter is that most people don't know anything about it but really should. Her tests are easy but you actually remember the information afterwards and her lectures are very interactive and engaging. Overall a good teacher and definitely would recommend.

Seema is a very nice person, however she rarely finishes her powerpoint lecture in one class. Talks a lot, but its quite interesting. Didn't really enjoy the class because it wasnt interesting to me personally. Shes a great prof if you're into sociology!

Seema is an amazing teacher! She is very kind and caring! She does not give much work, however you have to read a lot! I recommend taking her class, unless you are trying to boost your GPA. Fairly easy, but requires a lot of effort put into assignments! Overall, Seema is very understanding and fun!

Great teacher, tries to prompt thought on a variety of social issues. A lot of wisdom, and heart for social issues. Two tests, after the first test you will not be retested on that material again. Some group work. If you engage and attend classes this class is a pretty easy A but will require effort.

She the best professor. She's so caring and helps her students.

Such an easy class and prof. Literally showed up to this class 4 times and got a B. She is very understanding and kind. Would recommened her to anyone!

she talks a lot about Indigenous peoples. i personally didn't mind it, she's very passionate about the topic, but i would've appreciated it to be related to sociology more, because i feel like it didn't relate to the course topics as much. her papers and tests are easy though, and her slides are nice to refer to when studying!

Seema is amazing she is the best prof I have ever had. So nice and caring always helps her students.

Seema is an excellent instructor who genuinely cares about her students learning and passing the course, she will help you meet your goals in regards to the class and is always available for assistance and extra help. Her lectures are well thought out and organized and her class discussions encourage you to understand better. Hands down best prof.

She was a very nice prof. Reasonable in terms of the number of assignments and did not assign too many readings. She was really sweet and lenient with deadlines.

She is a real gem. If you wanna pump your GPA go with her.

---- A lenient and sweet person ---- A passionate supporter for her students ---- A nice person who knows student's psychology ---- I am going to graduate so I won't take her class again

She is very sweet. Always help students. Amazing lectures. She is very hardworking. Moreover, always think about their student. She is hardworking.

The exam wasn't necessarily easy, however she gives a review package to complete which REALLY helps. Three writing assignments that are easy, Eportfolio, and final essay. Classes are recorded however you need to go in order to get participation marks in the discussions. Seema was also very friendly. If you put in effort it should be an easy A.

Great professor! I will take her class again!

The best instructor I've had so far, make sure to actually actively listen to learn and do the work. She is very passionate about her teachings. She is hilarious as well, I've laughed out lout many times. I've took her earlier this year and please don't be immature and give negative rating because people lose the ones they love. Awesome professor!
