Very funny, -best course because of her!

awesome stories

Is quite interested in what she is teaching. She is not out to trick us!

Makes class interesting; cares about learning, not grades.

FUN, CLEAR, GOOD EXAMS

Fantastic prof. Interesting, funny, energetic, loves what she does.

Very good teacher. Interested in what she is teaching that's why lectures are so

Great Prof with excellent intentions!

Makes the course very interesting

This is one of my favourite courses, she makes the information fun and easy.

gives new, modern, funny looks on old (could be) boring stuff! i love this class

Great class, great prof

I Love U Dr. Rabinovitch. This is by far THE best course i've ever taken.

The best teacher i have ever met in my life, great course and great prof.

amazing prof, knows how to keep us awake

VERY GOOD!!!

Great teacher, great class

Great Prof. was thinking about changing majors

great class and prof!

Funny, interesting and nice. Should get p/t prof of the year

AMAZING! Knows all there is to know about witchcraft and is an engaging and fascinating lecturer, if you can call her classes lectures!

GREAT CLASS

Awesome teacher, so interesting

Why are all of the best professors only part-time? Great prof, great class. She is funny, knowledgeable and empathetic.

so hot

I went to every class....and i was not even in it! Beleive me, its THAT good!

Very knoledgeable and interesting. Her class is the highlight of my week.

extremely knowledgeable and engaging. made classes interesting. would definitely recommend the course, and dr. rabinovitch as an excellent professor!

SHOW UP ON TIME!

awesome prof.!

I didn't care for her teaching methods - when she finally decided to show up for class, she tried her hand at humour, which is fine, but it gets old after a few hours. Too fake-chummy with the class (except during exams). Quite an easy course, though.

Great course, great prof - too bad so many of the students weren't serious about the subject. You wouldn't find people making fun of Jews in a class on Judaism - why is this any different? Great course if you can put up with the influx of airheads.

First class today and I can already tell it's going to be a blast!

Good Prof. Easy Course. Too bad so many morons take the course.

Awesome professor.

Wonderfully clear and very knowledgable about the subject - ask her anything!

Awesome class, but full of idiots who know nothing. She is hilarious, for those of you who think not I guess you don't know what's funny.

WOO! i LOVE this class! she's funny and really knows her stuff. I will be wicked at Trival Pursuit after this class. Best prof all year, really approachable and when "Auntie Shelley" starts telling a story, relax and get ready to laugh. Study up though, she wants you to know your stuff too.

Absolutely fantastic class. Sitting through her lectures are a breeze - because she makes them so interesting! Easy multiple choice midterm and exam. Gave us bonus marks for dressing up at Halloween. This class is in high demand - but definitely try to get in!

She's THE BEST. Her class has got to be the most fun on campus.

mildly entertaining. Don't hve to do any readings just go to class. Multiple choice rules.

Wow... First class and I'm already super impressed, she's hilarious

Interesting and VERY easy class! So far, the mid-term was a breaze. Sometimes though, she does get off topic and half way through her stories you think "what the hell is she talking about??" Good class otherwise!

2 thumbs up! Definitely a great course with an even greater prof... no way u can fall asleep in her class!

best calss i ever took. interseting, clear, facinationg, gret text and reading choices. easy tests.

Awesome class along with an awesome professor!

I love this class, we do take an awful lot of notes, but we get to watch movies aswell. She is very helpful and is a lot of fun!

An awesome course; her lectures flow smoothly, so its easy to pay attention and take notes. She also mixes personal anecdotes with the material making the course even more interesting and relaxed. No assingments, just a midterm and final; both are multiple choice and she always mentions during the lectures what exactly you need to know.

Great course, really interesting. Lots of discussion (take it if you like to talk). Easy readings, mostly essays and an essay take-home. It was good.

Great Class. Movies + Guest Speakers. Reading was simple, not much reading in a week. 2 mid'term essays + 1 final take home essay. Automatic 10%. Good if you need an easy elective.

This class was such a joke. All everyone did was talk the whole class. You don't even need to go, considering your mark is based on 3 essays. You also don't need the textbook, because the essays have nothing to do with the text. Boring and ridiculously easy class.

Nice person but her lectures are hard to follow. She is all over the place and doesn't have any visual notes. You have to guess what is important and that is really hard when she goes off on tangents every 5 seconds from someone's question. Very frustrating.

I have her for both Fem and witchcraft. I love this prof! excellent course material. Great sense of humour! Keeps the class interested

Awesome teacher! Great sense of humour,which helps in the learning process.

i DUNNO ABOUT THIS ONE. YOU MUST ATTEND ALL LECTURES AND FILMS AND READ THE MATERIAL TO DO WELL. MULTIPLE CHOICE EXAMS BUT TRICKY. I JUST FIND THE CLASS A BIT ONE SIDED ON THE SUBJECT OF PAGANISM CAUSE SHE IS ONE, SHE MAKES IT SOUND NORMAL, QUITE STRANGE TO ME BUT OVERALL SHE'S COOL

The most interesting class Ive ever taken. Very easy and lectures are really entertaining!

Very nice woman. She does not take herself too seriously and she laughs alot which makes class fun. She thinks outside the box so it is interesting just to hear her ideas during lectures. She has a wacky anecdote or personal experience for every topic so it is really entertaining.

I have no complaints for Professor Rabinovitch. I enjoy her sense of humour, but for students who don't have one it could be frustrating I guess... I found that her way of teaching allowed me to retain more material than any other class I've taken in University.

Awesome class. This prof is a great lecturer; incorporates personal experience, hilarious She's a great story-teller. Keeps your attention for the full lecture. Multi choice mid-term and final are easy, just know your stuff. I didn't ever want to miss one of her lectures. Neomancy book = waste of money! Most popular course on campfor a reason!

i loved this class.. DO NOT BUY THE TEXT BOOK, just take it out of the library for the final. class attendance is really not mandatory, but interesting. she is a great professor.

Awesome class. This prof is a great lecturer; incorporates personal experience, hilarious She's a great story-teller. Keeps your attention for the full lecture.

Enjoyable class, i took it during the summer and it was pretty good for a summer class.

Great course. Prof Rab is a great professor because she is down to earth and very easy to listen to. Having a prof who believes in what they are teaching inspires you to learn as much as you can. The size of the class should speak for itself.

PART-TIME PROF OF THE YEAR!!!!

Great prof. Just go to class and you'll do well. Her lectures are interesting and well-rounded. Such a great class -- don't miss it!

GREAT teacher. join the class, you'll see!

completely awesome class! she is the most entertaining prof I've had! Her lectures are informative, and she's a riot. It doesn't feel like class.

She is such a great lecturer! She is funny and really enjoys talking about her ideas. I disagree with the negative reviews, she isn't lazy, she gets there and gets the job done effectively. She lectures to the average age group she is teaching too, she understands it can be boring and works with that. I think she creates the ideal course for 400.

WITCHCRAFT Great prof. She explains things really well, and can make boring subject matter more interesting. She has relevant stories. I did not enjoy the guest lectures by Prof. Guille-something. She didnt speak loud enough for us to hear. (marion auditorium)

GREAT PROF! there is a reason why her class is the most popular on campus! she's knows her material well and doesn't hesitate to offer guidance to students and answer tough questions. I disagree with the negative comments- she's just trying to make otherwise dull material interesting to appeal to our age group...and it WORKS!

she was fantastic

easy class, but towards the end of the term it feels as if she's cramming alot of info into each lecture.

Teaches to her audience, knows/understands her audience. Good luck Trying to get into her class!

Interesting class, and very humorous

Rabinovitch rocks!

I have had this prof 4 times and each time I get the exact same material. She doesn't cater to the class, she just manipulates it to fit the title. She's a brilliant woman and very nice but as far as being a good prof.. She lacks. I loved her the first time but the movies and lectures became repetitive and boring.

Awesome teacher! Really good summer class.

Wonderful woman and professor. She was interesting, and so was the course.

She's so much fun to listen to

I took intro to female studies with this proff and it was the easiest class ever. I attended 30% of the classes, didnt buy the textbook and still ended up with a B. There were no midterms or finals just an ad critique essay, and a final take home paper. Both were easy and required no readings or notes to be taken. The proff is really nice too!!

Best prof ever!! Her class was so interesting, and her teaching style was really engaging and fun for the students. As long as you listen/take notes you'll ace the 2 tests.

The class was interesting and easy. Her story about her near death experience changed my outlook on life. I would suggest taking the class for this lecture alone.

Very funny teacher, her classes was always extremely entertaining. Class was easy, as long as you attend it and read the material she tells you to read. I would take her class again!

Awesome professor. Perfect lecturer. Very entertaining, interesting, and informative class.

A fantastic first year women's studies prof. Excellent lectures.

Really enjoy Rabinovitch as a professor. She may not be the most challenging but I looked forward to going to each class. it was just fun and she has a great character, sarcastic and ramble-y. Never a dull moment, never stale, never monotone. Not difficult, not complaining!

veryy easy class ! im suprised at the reviews, Rabinovitch is a very entertaining teacher. we watch many movies and videos. we never used the textbook, complete waste of money! come to class (many ppl tend not to & i couldn't imagine why)& give effort to the only 2 assignments and you will get an A garunteed. ps- TA's mark everything

She is an incredibly engaging speaker so her lectures are always fascinating. Her exams are very straightforward and are entirely multiple choice. Her class was my favourite.

Very easy class (Witchcraft) and quite interesting. Great lecturer, not boring, speaks loudly. VERY chill, laid back, isn't very "professorish" but is interesting. Cool stories. If you want an easy A but to also be interested in the class, then take Witchcraft. Also very outspoken, loves to swear which tends to bring some laughs.

I am in her Witchcraft class and it is by far my favourite course I have ever taken. She is a great teacher and the 3 hours absolutely flies by! She is a very engaging speaker and really makes things interesting!

She is the best professor I had during first year university, hands down. She is extremely knowledgeable and her lectures are always interesting. Exams are decent - just make sure you do the readings and attend the lectures. I would without a doubt take another class of hers in future years.

One word to describe this prof: Epic. I was in her witchcraft class and it was hands down best class I've had. She is hilarious and so well informed. She provides great perspective on the subject matter, and it a perfectly fair marker!

This was for her witchcraft course. She is an excellent teacher, very personable, and makes you really interested in the topic. Also, multipule choice exam or short answer. You get to choose!

Extremely knowledgable prof; very animated teaching style; interesting material; clear expectations; marks based on 1 mid-term and 1 final- all multiple choice- each multiple choice question being worth 1% of your final grade; textbook utilized greatly; no notes posted on web; cool movies shown; massive class size

Very informative course, but one that demands the student be an active listener and note-taker. Skipping is absolutely not a good idea, because she covers a lot every class and anything might be on the tests. She's very engaging, enthusiastic, and thought-provoking. Highly recommended course.

Very interesting. No need to read material! If you go to every class you are guaranteed an A! She presents some shocking information for dramatic effect but a lot of what she has to say is very important to learn especially for young women.

Awesome prof. Made things interesting, knows her stuff. Nice enough, little strict on electronics but she's not the only one. Her class was the only one I didn't skip, it was too interesting.

Awesome prof, good class!

Great prof, interesting lectures, provides great examples and life-experiences to help illustrate some of the material. 3 multiple-choice exmas for this class. DO NOT get caught talking in her class, or caught with any electronics!! She's all about respecting others!

awesome class. awesome prof. as long as you don't miss class and take extensive notes, you're good to go and guaranteed a true eye-opening learning experience.

If you keep up with the readings and can write a half decent essay on an exam, you'll get an A+ for this course. I was freaked out at the midterm because it was only an hour long and we had to write an essay and do short answer Qs, but she's an easy marker. Do the readings, prove that you've read them in the essays and you're golden!

I found that this professor sincerely WANTED the students to do well if they were willing. She explained her definitions & every term clearly and told us all what was to be expected on the exam. Even though I use basically only my laptop in all my courses, the switch in this class was really helpful and she didn't speak too fast so you missed info.

love this woman. super entertaining and really opens your eyes to things you didn't realize unless you are a religions student

Easy A for sure! Only one midterm and one final I recommend taking this class with Rabinovitch to bump up your grade. Although she doesn't allow laptops or cell phones and she's super strict about them. And another downfall is she uses no powerpoint slides and just stands up there and talks and talks writing one word on the board every so often.

Very interesting course but definitely something to boost your mark up. Midterm and final were very easy, aside from a few questions from left field. Prof is funny but quite crude, if that isn't your thing. If you're looking for an easy 'bird' course, definitely recommend.

This class isn't as easy as it's made out to be. But if you attend the lectures, take good notes (she doesn't allow computers or any electronics because she says its distracting, which is true), and read the books, you'll do very well. She tries to make you succeed but every mc mistake costs you 1%

Very interesting, I loved going to class. Knows what she's talking about, great lectures. No electronics (for the best).

Love this professor! She is very knowledgeable about the subject and is very respectful. She is clear and concise in her lectures and gives you specific terms to focus on that usually end up on the exams. The exams are fair because she genuinely wants students to do well. If you attend all classes and read the textbook you will do fine!

She is awesome and this class was very interesting! I would take it again in a heartbeat. Huge class size, over 400 people. You must write 2 exams, midterm and final, all multiple choice, and you have no essays or assignments which I liked. Go to class, pay attention, take decent notes, and you will do great.

Very interesting class! Professor is very knowledgeable and clearly loves what she does. Class is a breeze if you attend, take notes and do your readings. Questions are not nearly as random as some have said. I love that she calls out on students who are talking, very refreshing!

The class is a bird course if you attend every class and do the readings. Readings are a must if you want 90+. Prof Rabinovitch is an amazing prof and makes the lectures interesting. The workload is quite light and the exams are easy if you took good notes.

Wonderful professor and a good & kind person. It is not a 'hard' course, but you have to attend classes and do the reading to succeed (unless you're a really good guesser). The lectures are interesting and well-organized. She's approachable and very fair.

Although very intimidating, LOVED her class. I loved the material so it was a very interesting course. The fact that the use of electronics is not permitted sucks, but other than that, I have no complaints!

Excellent prof - a leader in her field. Course is well structured, lectures are fascinating, though a bit too personal at times for my taste. Still, a rewarding experience, no wonder it's such a popular course.

Dr. Rabinovitch is just FANTASTIC. The course itself is fairly interesting and easy to do well in. Exams are multiple choice, and very straightforward. If you do your readings, pay attention during lectures and take good notes- This class is an easy A+.

By far the best prof I have had. Not only is she funny, but she relates course material to her own life and always has stories to share. She does not post slides online, nor does she use any electronics. And you will get kicked out if you use any sort of electronic in her class. Listen to her speak, take good notes, and there's your B+

I can't believe there are any bad reviews for this professors - easily one of the most enthusiastic, excited and involved professors I've ever had. Made me fall in love with the topic, and even declare it as a second major. Truly a dedicated professor

She will change your life. She is so entertaining and knows what she's talking about. Note: you only have two chances for marks (mid-term & exam) STUDY for these. This is not a bird course. If you don't study, you will pay. She is really funny. Can't use phones during her class. Attend class and do the readings (they are mandatory to passing).

The lectures are very interesting and the teacher's crazy sense of humour and anecdotes make the class really fun! If you have any interest in history, religion and culture, then this course is for you. The title of the course may only imply witchcraft, but in class, so many subjects are discussed and it is simply fascinating! Recommended 100%

This prof is by far my favorite professor, and this class was one of the most interesting I have ever taken. She is so knowledgeable and you can really tell she loves to teach. Her lectures are so interesting and she has so much personal experience with her subject. I highly recommend this class to anyone! Take it! you will love it! shes hilarious

Awesome class! Super interesting and she really keeps the students engaged during the lecture. She really knows her stuff and has a lot of experience in this field so it makes it even more interested! Do the readings and attend class and you should pass for sure!

She has so many different stories to tell that make her lectures so interesting and she is very funny. Doesn't feel like a 3 hour class at all. Cellphones and laptops are not allowed while she's lecturing; she has called people out for that. The only bad thing is that there's only a midterm and a final, so you can't mess up either of them.

really an inspiration woman who tells it like it is. shes got spunk. shes very anti-technology and demands respect. lectures were always interesting and easy to follow. sometimes i wishes classes were a little longer because it felt like there was so much more to be discussed.

Her 3 hour lectures fly by, she really captures the students attention. She explains everything over and over again making it easy to study for. Straightforward class, but a lot of information to retain, do not skip any classes!

Hilarious, engaging and inspiring. Strict ban on electronics in class. Clear on expectations. Isn't afraid to tell students to shut up during lectures. Good notes are necessary because any little detail can and will be tested on. Only a midterm and final. Both easy if you read your notes a few times but don't slack since you're only tested twice.

Very repetitive with her jokes.

Lectures were always really interesting. I will never forget the time she told us about reading "BDSM for Satan" in an adult toy store...

The class was what I expected it to be. Relatively easy, and the lectures were very interestingengaging. Lecture notes are crucial for studying for the exam, followed by the encyclopedia (and not that many pages assigned to read). The main textbook is actually not that significant for the exams (read the key concepts and summary). Easy AA+.

The teach and the topic are both interesting and engaging. If you go to class and pay attention you will do well... but I mean, who wouldn't go to class when you teacher is as funny and inspiring as Shelley. She started out as "the first female radio host in Ottawa", so you can imagine that she make class exciting. Favourite class in all 4 years!

This is not a "bird class" like everyone thinks. You need to work hard for it! No laptops or electronics allowed. She talks all class (doesn't write on board, no ppts). Movies shown in class are interesting!! Exams are trickier than you think. She's an alright prof. If I had to do it all over again though, I would have picked another elective

This professor is amazing! I work full time and I am completing my BA part-time so good lectures are important. She is great! Don't mess with her when it comes to class rules though (no phones in class and no laptop)! Multiple choice and TF for midterm ( got 80%).

What an amazing prof!! Really enjoyed this as an elective, definitely take this class if at all possible. Lectures were very interesting, the 3 hour lecture went by very quickly. Prof Shelley is extremely knowledgeable in what she teaches. Had one midterm and a final; both MC format. Very easy, interesting course!

Overall great prof. She is interesting, thorough and exams are very fair. Midterm was open book. Final was 60 multiple choice questions. No assignments. She doesn't allow laptops in first year classes or post notes online, but I actually found that beneficial. She is very nice to students and tries to be as accessible as possible.

I wish I could always have teachers as good as her. She Loves her field and it shows.

This prof was amazing! I'm in my first year and she made the transition from high school to university easy. She's a great professor to have and is funny and interesting.

This class was the best class ever. Shelley is so funny but is extremely serious when it comes to electronics! She'll kick you out! Easy A, I would definitely take this class again.

This class is an easy A. I didn't even attend the lectures, just go on Notebro and memorize notes students from previous years have posted! If you put in 3 days before a midterm or exam you should do well. Make sure you know all the key terms from Stein & Stein and read the encyclopedia

Like the prof but hate that she has one of her own books as required readings. It's not as nice of a read as the other book required, and is just a pain to have to read through and collect notes from! Also, you can learn most of the material from Stein and Stein alone.

Enjoyed taking her class. It was an interesting review of the history of many diverse religious and philosophies. I considered it one of the highlights of my time at UofO

This teacher is so hilarious, make 7pm to 10pm classes interesting and actually makes you want to go to class. If you don't want to go well you probably won't do as well on the exams because there are NO notes on blackboard. Yeah theres lots to read but its pretty interesting stuff. Opens up your way of seeing and thinking.

Great lectures, very interesting topic, and an all around great experience, just do your readings.

Easy A. Go to every class, participate when she asks questions, read the books, easy A+. Take it in the fall session so you get to wear a costume if its halloween for a bonus exam mark. There are 2 videos. Burning times, and Nazi occult conspiracy. both on youtube. take notes by hand, no electronics allowed. Great to raise GPA.

Shelley is probably one of my favourite professors. She doesn't allow technology AT ALL which is a great strategy to get a great mark. The midterm and test is all MC/TF and there are no assignments. She makes hilarious comments and jokes so be prepared to laugh. & her lectures are so interesting! Show up to class if you want to be entertained

best prof #1 luv her my goddess

She is very entertaining and the class will not be a bore! The questions on the MC/TF midterms and finals were a little abiguise making them difficult. Over the entire year there is only 100 questions between the midterm and final so you really have to know your stuff. People say it is an easy A but be sure you know your stuff.

This class was really easy if you listen to her lectures &take decent notes on lectures and on readings. The readings ARE on the tests so you should do them but you can easily skim through. She's pretty clear on what you should WRITE down (no electronics at all). Know the content pretty well & you'll be fine. Her 100 (total) questions aren't hard.

She's an amazing crazy prof that loves what she's teaching and does not take anyone's bs. No electronics so you have to write by hand, but its not bad at all. I learnt tons about different things and did in a way that was pretty fun. She only has a midterm and final and they're both multiple choice. If you go to class, do your readings, youre good

She's an engaging lecturer which almost makes up for the fact on how strict she is about phones and how she doesn't use a power point. Key word being almost. You need to pay attention and take good notes.

Very easy class. usually I have a hard time with three hour classes but she makes it bearable by being super funny and engaging. Show up, sorta pay attention and read what she asks and you'll get an A

EASYY CLASS! She is a no no for electronics. Take notes by hand. i liked the course material so i could sit for 3 hours without loosing conscious, but it could be boring for a lot of students. Tests and midterms are multiple choice, super easy do the reading and listen to her you'll get a good mark.

A very interesting person with lots of stories to tell. Teaches class content like she is telling a story, which made it very easy to remember. Absolutely no electronics are allowed, but there were never more than 15 important terms to remember from each course. Readings were not on the midterm much, but made up a good part of the final exam.

I'm surprised people thought this class was difficult, I am by no means a straight A student but this class was so easy. There is only one midterm (40 M/C 40% of final grade) and the exam (60 M/C 60% of final) but as long as you attend you'll do fine (I never even opened the textbooks)

I loved this course. Prof Rabinovitch gives interesting, if a little rambling, lectures and explains the material really well. The reading covers anything left out in class, so do that. Exams were super easy. Remember to bring a notebook, because she doesn't allow electronics!

She seems to be unapproachable, however she is very kind and her lectures are interesting. She is funny and makes jokes which makes her lectures not feel so long. Midterms and quizzes are pretty easy, and you just need to show up to take good notes and you should be fine.

Amazing prof. As long as you go to class and take good notes and do your readings (especially for the final), you'll do fine. The exams are multiple choice and easy. She's funny and the material is very interesting which makes the lectures quite enjoyable.

She's a great prof you will love her. Her classes are generally interesting but get ready to read a whole lot more than any other class you're taking. You will get a good mark as long as you attend her classes and do all the readings. Not an easy A but an A is definitely possible.

I loved this class to death and I love this prof to death it was such a great class

I missed the first couple lectures and read that I wasn't allowed to use a phone in class during a 3 hour lecture. I thought it was going to be awful until I actually went to class. In fact, she's incredibly engaging and has a great sense of humor. She just tells interesting stories and anecdotes all class, and somehow you end up learning it all.

She was an awesome Prof! The class itself was incredibly interesting but she made it a so much more interesting. I wish The class never ended. She was easy to talk to and understanding!

Gives great lectures; however, exams do not always accurately reflect course content. Shelley's first-year classes must take notes by hand.

I really enjoyed the subject material and lectures. For an online class, I found her class very organized. She is such an interesting lecturer with such unique experiences and knowledge to share. She can come off a bit harsh, but the only time was because students were uploading quizzes and videos to other sites. Overall, I would love to retake her

Definitely doable to get the grade you want if youre willing to put in the work. She gave us more work to do because of the online format during COVID, but honestly, just do it. I found that she sometimes had some very tricky and highly specific questions, but overall the concepts are simple and the course is so interesting that its worth it.

Very interesting lectures and easy material. Prof Rabinovitch can come off harsh, but I did not ever think she was being unreasonable. I think some people were peeved that she only made modules available for a day before locking them. But how hard is it to download and watch later if you don't have time? I didn't buy the text and still did well.

This course was an Easy A. In regards to the Prof: she does come off harsh and her attempt at humour may be off putting to students, but I was throughly entertained! She clearly enjoys teaching this course and is very knowledgable and opened minded. I'm only upset that I spent $$$ on the textbook which I didn't even end up reading or needing to.

Shelley is an amazing prof. I learned a lot from her class and would jump at the chance to take another one of her classes

Her lectures are quite entertaining, which I think is mainly due to my poor sense of humour. Love when she makes little jokes, and you can tell she loves it! I was forced to take my courses online due to COVID, and her course load is respective of that. There are 5, 10% quizzes and a 50% final exam, making it relatively easy to focus on the class.

Very interesting course and great content. I really liked the professor, I don't understand why people gave bad ratings. I just listened to her lectures which were recorded and I got an A+.So if you listen to her really carefully and don't miss the details you will get a good mark. Don't expect to get a good grade without listening the lectures.

I really enjoyed the class, I would have rated her a 5, but I did find that the lectures were longer than they had to be. She could explain some concepts in half the time she does because she does say a lot of unimportant information. However, her classes are interesting, she gives relevant examples, and she does funny things sometimes.

Good teacher interesting class, its not necessary to get the book. Lectures can be a bit longer than they should be but other then that i recommend this class.

Very caring and understanding professor. A lot of work load but very flexible. Amazing professor.

we luv shelley! easy marker and interesting content! But if you're picking her and she gives quizzes LEAVE HER!!! her quizzes are so flipping hard.

This was an asynchronous course, yet it was one of my favorites this semester because it was low maintenance and very interesting. All the readings were very interesting, and this professor is beautifully articulate when she lectures. She also has a cute cat that sleeps on the couch behind her head.

As long as you watch the lectures and take good notes, you'll do well on quizzes. Her lectures/films add up to less than the 3h class time per week. Readings are reasonable for a uni level course. People except to put in no work and be rewarded. Also, some advice, if you're not interested in a topic, it probably won't be easy.

I love the topics discussed in this course and (personally) I find Prof Rabinovitch quite funny. The quizzes are easy (as long as you take good notes, watch the videos and read the readings required for the course). The only downside about this class is the fact that they are no powerpoint slides.

This prof is so sweet! I found her class extremely interesting,, essentially you'll hate the christian church after. Go figure. Her class is fairly easy so long as you keep up to date with her readings and take notes during the lectures. I havent even cracked a single textbook and received an A in her class, this shit is hella interesting.

I don't get what is going on in these reviews. There were some questions on the quizzes that I felt could have been worded more clearly but outside of that this course was a breeze. I just watched the lectures and did the quizzes and the exams. Too much reading? Just wait until you get into the later years where you're reading a few books a week.

I took this course as an elective and I was surprised at how engaged I was, and how much I learned! Dr. Rabinovitch is hilarious, very engaging, and super informative. If I could take a part II of this course I definitely would!

yaaaaaaaaas so good so funny

I took this class as an elective and enjoyed it. It was easy (mostly because it was online), and I appreciated the asynchronous format. However, she doesn't provide the lectures in powerpoint or written format, only videos of her speaking (and there are many), so you kinda have to watch every single one to pass the quizzes and exam.

take this as a summer course! lots of reading + supplemental material so it's best taken when ur most available. quizzes are simple & straightforward imo. she rambles but it can add needed context. material gets rly interesting. if u need ppts slides then i wouldn't recc bc the lecture vids are just her talking (the vids aren't that long tho!!)

not bad. no ppt slides so get ready to listen and take notes. textbook is needed but can be found online for free. we had five easy weekly quizzes and an exam. some weeks were more heavy than others so make sure you set some time aside for this class. content was very interesting.

There are 5 online quizzes bi-weekly which cover what was in the previous lecture and there are only 10 questions on them. The final is also online and it is 50 multiple choice/true&false questions. You have an hour to complete the final. Overall the course was very interesting and easy. She does ramble on about random things but overall shes good.

She doesn't have any PowerPoint and just lectures and that's what you will be graded on. Great if you learn by just listening. She's very nice and gives very interesting lectures and assessments are easy.

Such a sweet professor. She really knows what she is doing and genuinely cares about the wellbeing of students. It was a great class.

She provided an amazing class this semester. There is not too much homework. This class is a well-known elective course at uottawa.
