new to teaching- she knows lots but her classes are hard to follow and tests are not clear

She's a great prof! A real person who is approchable and understanding that life is also happening while your going to school. Wise and full of knowledge ...sometimes it was a little hard to follow the lecture. But simply the BEST teacher at Camosun.

Great teacher, one of the best at camosun. Very clear notes and clear test questions. Know's her stuff.

I have had her for both 110 & 220 and overall I think she is a nice person and a good teacher.. sure her lectures aren't the most interesting but atleast they are well organized and she has fair marking..! Unlike some other teachers:(

I really enjoyed her for Anth 216 and 110. Her lectures were very interesting. She seemed relaxed and enjoyed what she was teaching. Hard to talk to one on one, but really nice person. Kind of spacey, but it's funny.

I think Tara's great, she's got very clear notes with headings, subheadings, the whole deal. She explains every point she makes and is informative and passionate about her work. She always has her door open and is very friendly.

Tara's great. Interesting lectures. Well organized. Knows her stuff. Enthusiastic about subject matter.

Well, what can I say? She's a wonderful teacher, knows her stuff & is obviously happy to be teaching. On the other hand, many students find her style confusing. Her organization confuses me, yet, overall, she is worth having as an instructor.

I found Tara interesting, clear and had great notes. She cares about the subject matter. Really enjoyed her class, recommend it!

Great teacher! Really nice and clear in lectures.

Tara is a great teacher. Put your time in to study and get a good mark. I sadly slacked off. Anthropology is an exansive course, so be prepared to do a fair but of work. Tara is also a total babe too!

Love her. Her classes were always intersting. She is always helpful and her exams are very clear. I cant till I can take another one of her classes

was pretty friendly and approachable, open to discussion if things were unclear. she expects a lot from her students so review the material thoroughly before exams because sometimes the questions were kind of out of the blue and unpredictable

This course was pretty good, so was the instructing. Everything was clear and concise, the amount of reading is reasonable. The only problem I had with this course were the exams, the questions would be easy, the answers I gave were lengthy encompassing all the details required to get full marks, and yet I'd only get some marks for it...why?

Tara's notes are extremely well organized and detailed, you should attend class to get the best of the lecture. She seems impersonal but it may be a quality of some Anthropologists, she's quite amenable and friendly once you speak with her a few times. The class was highly interesting and interactive, I learned a lot and would take her again.

Passionate about her subject and interested in helping students succeed. Much more approachable than might seem at first. Interesting case studies and videos. Great class, great instructor.

Ensure that you study for exams with great detail. I received a D on my midterm but pulled my socks up, studied all my notes articles and readings again and recieved and A-. We did a huge fundraiser as a big part of our grade which turned out fine but was stressful and required a lot of outside of class work. Lectures are a bit dry.

Difficult prof, but extremely interesting course.

Show up every class and take notes – by hand! Very little discussion, her lectures are very well organized. Write down every word she has up on the projector, memorize every word and you are guaranteed an A+.

Tara is an excellent instructor who very much wants to prepare you for higher level university classes. With that in mind, expect to read. But it is college after all. Duh. She's funny, sweet, and makes class worth going to.

Tara is a good teacher as long as you write down everything she says. memorize your notes for the tests and you will be fine. she comes off as a hard ass at first but she really is not. she is more than willing to talk after class about concepts. all in all I would say she is a pretty good teacher.

Tara gives interesting lectures and provides current and inspiring information. However, she is a very fast talker, and it is easy to miss important points because she flips between slides very quickly. Tara appears like she would care about individual students, but really she does not. ANTH 110 changed my opinions, but for the worse.

Taras lecture style is very organized (although she sometimes gets ahead of herself but its not too hard to follow along)and passionate. Her grading criteria is concise, but she does make you work for it. Anth290 is a brand new course at Camosun so there are still a few growing pains made evident in the inconsistent spelling of terms, and readings.

Tara is passionate& knowledgeable about anthropology. She is funny, bright, patient & attentive. She does speak fast at times, but is aware of it and tries to slow down when she can.I recommend a voice recorder for the lectures(& 1 follow up listening), show up to every class, take detailed notes and do the required readings BEFORE the class.

Tara is clearly passionate about what she does and I really enjoyed her energy & humor while taking her course

Makes me wish I was taking more Anth courses. It's easy to tell she's really into the subject and it's infectious. She gives clear information and focuses on interesting topics. The only problem I have is that the major project is a group artsy project. It would be nice if she gave a non-art option.

While I really enjoy her class, there are a lot of things I would change. I have no problem with amount of work, but there is a lot. Her syllabus and what she says/gives don't always match up so make sure to read the syllabus. She will make corrections. Do the readings, pay attention in class (and actually go) and you'll be fine.

Homework is scarce, but you need to be attending class.

Tara is the best Anthro teacher by far. I have taken 3 classes with her now and haven't been disappointed. She is very passionate and caring and it comes out when she lectures. Attend class and take lots of notes! Very clear with what she wants. This class was a lot of fun! LOVE her!!

This was an excellent class. Really informative, and Tara was really excited about the subject. Pay attention, and take a lot of notes as there is a lot absorb in her classes - she expects a lot of her students and teaches accordingly. Tara may seem intense but she was a brilliant prof, she should get a better rating on here than she does.

Best lecturer I have ever had. Incredibly interesting content, super engaging, and knows her stuff inside and out. Going to class will definitely help your grade, because little things discussed once can end up on exams, but her style is so fun that you'll want to go anyway :)

Tara is a fantastic teacher. Get ready to take notes!!! This lady can talk at the speed of light and trust me, you need to know ALL of the material she talks about in class. she obviously has a passion for what she does.

I will have her again next term and I am happy about it.

Great class. Took this course because of the instructor. It was the right choice. Very inspirational class that covers several women issues around the world.

Tara is a great teacher. She requires a lot of reading for her second year class. I wouldn't say she's a very hard marker. She was very accessible through email and office hours. My only complaints are that our course syllabus had some readings TBD on day one, which annoyed me. She also has a clear ideology that comes out in lectures.

Tara is wonderful. Her lectures were always fascinating and she articulates everything so well. Be prepared for lengthy readings in preparation for seminars.

Tara's fantastic and is very passionate about her subject (esp. cultural anthropology). Make sure you take notes in class as she does NOT post her slides (except during COVID times). Ask questions and be engaged in lab and lecture and it will do you good. If in doubt, over-explain and add MORE DETAIL to your assignments/exam answers.

Tara really cares about her students and is passionate about what she teaches. She took some of her personal time to hold an academic writing workshop, which was helpful. She loads her course with lots of great content to read. She is also really good at giving critical feedback even when you do well on assignments, so you can grow in your writing!

Tara is wonderful & passionate about the topic. I love how accountable you are held for doing readings etc. Group project was hell on earth & Tara supported me but basically told me to suck it up. I don't think it's fair to be graded on other's work as it kinda depends on who you get. Very high expectations for knowing content, but I didn't mind.

Great professor! Each week consisted of reading the textbook, discussion post and quizzes which was much of our grade. Exams were written but she gave enough time to complete. Overall I found this class very interesting especially with the readings she included and the engaging discussion posts. Would take again

When i read the reviews for Mrs. Tudor I was a little nervous. I have to say, she is my favorite professor so far. She loves what she is doing, she is engaging, she answers questions (even if their dumb) without being condescending. She makes anthropology fun! Youd best bet is too show up to class and do the work and you really cant go wrong..

Tara is a passionate teacher, easy to understand and willing to help. In this course, you read a lot, and it is important to go to class and do all the quizzes and exercises to get a better grade, there is a lot of content in this course and also on the exams. The exams besides multiple choice have writing answers. Tough Grader.

Tara does long interesting lectures. She does make students do group discussions for my final, I had to do a group project. If you have issues with your group tell her because she will grade accordingly. Take lots of notes because her slide are miss some key info. As long as you are in class participating, you will get a good grade.

Very animated and passionate in what she is teaching. Makes you engaged in the material.

Tara is a wonderful professor who is kind and passionate about anthropology. I had very difficult year for personal reasons and still got an A+ because she was such a good teacher and held my attention. She seems to want to see you succeed and be excited! Lots of funny quirky stories also as she's very well-travelled in a chill way.

Tara is TOTALLY rad her lectures are almost always interesting & always engaging. She's also very good at clarifying things when someone has a question, wont make them feel dumb. You can also tell that she is very passionate about what she does. This class is a blast:)

Tara is a great professor, kind and captivating in her lectures and very helpful when asking questions or even just talking to her about the course.
