Valentine is sometimes hard to understand as English is not her first language, but she always offers her assistance so that your learning may be easier. I trully did enjoy her lab class.

Her French accent may be strong but she really is a helpful teacher. I thought she was good teacher, but many ppl say otherwise..

I had Valentine for a lab and she is awesome. Her accent is strong but she is knowledgable and organized. She explains the bio lab lectures well and isn't intimidating.

Had her for lab and i thought she was good..she explained the lab first then left us alone to play with the models and such. she answers questions if we had any and draw tables and pictures for extra help on some labs. she docks for spelling though..but other than then i liked her a lot

I had her for my Lab. Valentine is french, her accent could be hard to understand if you have never been around a french canadian before. Biology is a heavy class so of course it is difficult, however she explains the important topics. As long as you come prepared to lab (and practice spelling) you will be fine!

She is an awesome teacher. I adore her, she is the best person ever. Though her accent sometimes makes you confused on what she say but she really tries to make herself understood by everybody. She is extremely helpful and understanding. I really learned bio easily because of her.

Valentine is amazing! Her tests are fair and she is very specific about what will be on the test. It's a tough course but she made it very enjoyable.

I had her for lab, and she was a very good instructor. Must do all readings and learn the material before coming to the lab. Her exams were quite easy i found. Her accent is hard to understand, but she jokes around alot and will do her best to make sure her point comes across clear. Would highly recommend

Valentine was awesome. This was my first lab course and although she can be intimidating she is really very sweet when you get down to it. Remembering key terms was also much easier when I could think of words in her accent.

You have to get use to her accent, but she teaches the stuff you need to know. Her lab exams aren't very easy so, study hard and make sure to ALWAYS do your pre labs. I would recommend her

Valentine's a hard marker, she's detail orientated but tells you what to write to get full marks. Take note of what she wants. You HAVE to read your lab manual, review concepts and models before you go into lab each week or you won't get above a C+ in the lab. She's the only option for lab, but honestly just put in the effort and you'll be okay.

Valentine is very knowledgable and she honestly is a pretty good prof, but her quizzes and midterms are just way too hard and it's really discouraging. She knows her stuff but needs to chill out a bit on her test material.

I found Valentine to be very helpful when I asked questions and at times, I learned more from her class than lecture. She seems harsh at first but show her that you are there to learn and she will help as much as she can. Be punctual, practice your spelling and things will be great. I liked being in her class and she's actually funny (seriously)!

Valetine is tough, however she is a reallly really good instructor. If you want an 'easy' prof, it's not Valetine. BUT if you are willing to put in the work, and if you care, you will do well and you will learn a lot from Valentine.

BIOL 2203 is a heavy course, your mark directly reflects how much time you invest. Valentine DOES CARE about her students, and always tries to make the best of a difficult course. She'll go above and beyond to help if YOU approach her. HOWEVER If you'er not going to be dedicated to the course don't expect her to be dedicated to you.

Valentine is AMAZING. The course is HARD. It's not her fault. She's teaching what she has to with half as much time as she needs. Phenomenal woman, amazing teacher, hilarious. Show up for classes or you will NOT pass. No way. She gives great tips to remember things and her acting stuff out helps to get it in your head. LOVELOVELOVE this prof.

Valentine is amazing! I can guarantee the people who rate her badly are the people who don't want to put in the work for the course but blame it on the prof. Anatomy is a HARD class, but she is seriously an expert. She knows everythinnnnggg anatomy. She was so nice in lecture and lab, but very very tough marker. Stay on top of the content!!

Dr. Valentine is super sweet and she really cares for her students. She is for sure one of my fav profs. Anatomy is a HARD course so put in the time, go to class, read the text book, study (use the lab models in the study room).

Valentine is super nice, hilarious, and wants you to succeed! Anatomy is a difficult course with lots of memorization, but as long as you keep on top of material in lecture and lab you will do fine. Her marking can be tough and sometimes her questions on midterms are unclear, so make sure you ask exactly what she wants. I would take her again!

Valentine is a hard marker but she is such a great professor. She cares about her students and wants you to succeed. Very sweet lady and makes lectures more interesting.

Valentine is an amazing prof! Anatomy is a difficult course but she does her best to cover important concepts that will be on the midterms. She is funny and very helpful, not at all judgemental towards her students regarding their abilities. The course is mostly memorization so don't fall behind in the assignments! Would definitely take her again

I don't find Valentine to be a bad teacher, rather the switch to online is really working against her when it comes to anatomy. She is accessible to students and will help you if you reach out to her. Test questions can be vague which makes it difficult to provide the specific answers she looks for. 4 midterms and weekly assignments.

I personally enjoyed Valentine and Anatomy class because I put in the hours outside of class time. It's important become familiar with concepts BEFORE class in order to get the most out of her lectures, or you will be lost. Lots of memorization is involved in order to succeed in Anatomy, but you are rewarded for your the time that you put into it.

Valentine is one of the best prof I've had. She really cares about her students and ensures they understand the content. As this is a very tough course, she made it enjoyable. I would definitely recommend taking her class!

Valentine is an amazing professor. This course is very hard but that is no reason to put the blame on her! She is very good at explaining concepts and makes sure that everyone has no questions before she moves on. If you do have questions she will be sure to explain concepts in an alternate way so it may be easier for you to understand.

BIOL 1221 is a very hard course. Students should be prepared to do the work outside of class. Valentine does not read off her slides. She explains topics well but since biology is a hard course with complex materials, it was hard to stay focused if you do not prepare and do your readings ahead of class. Again its up to us students to do better

Stop blaming her accent for not understanding the topics. Do your prep before class and you will do fine!

Valentine is a good professor. She cares about her student's success. Theres a lot of memorizing in this class and students should be prepared to do their readings ahead.

For me w/ BIOL 1221, I have gone through many profs because I struggled with this course, I did it a lot! Valentine has so far been the ONLY prof that actually explains the topics in a way you UNDERSTAND. She also has given us hints about topics for exams, she is merciful with marking, and she is super sweet and helpful! Ignore the bad reviews!!!

I have failed this course before and I managed to do very well this time around because of Valentine. She explains topics well and she is not a hard marker like other students make her out to be.

Valentine is very genuine and cares for her students that put in the work. Slight language barrier but by the end of the semester, you get used to it. Explains topics the way you may need them explained, although I found her tests very difficult, no madder how hard I studied. Overall great prof and marks very fair.

Valentine is a good professor. She explains the topics really well and she does not go off-topic like the other bio professor that I have had before. Her exams are not as difficult as I thought they would be.

Valentine does not read off her slides. I dont know how other students got this impression. If you want a certain grade, youre gonna have to do more outside of class time, no need to blame the prof for not understanding the materials.

I liked Valentine. Her lectures are engaging and she does ask us if we need clarification on certain topics.

Valentine is a great prof! I had her for 1220 lecture/lab as well as 1221 lab. She is honestly the sweetest and funniest lady ever, it's super worth it to create a good relationship with her. Her teaching style takes a bit of getting used to at first, but if you put in the work outside of class, you can do well

The low ratings for her are usually from years ago & despite my anxieties from those, I had an amazing experience with her. Just a reminder, BIOL labs are going to be content-heavy no matter who you take it with. She is a very nice person and will try to adjust the difficulty of quizzes/exams to make sure everybody who puts in effort passes.

Took her for both 1220 & 1221, had an amazing time with her! This lab is the heaviest class you will have during your 1st year in nursing. But Quizlet and the following resources helped me through the weekly new materials, : A Brief Atlas of the Human Body by Hutchinson (free pdf available) & MRU virtual biology lab website for A&P. Good luck!

Had Valentine for both 1220 and 1221 labs and I thoroughly enjoyed having her as a lab instructor! Bio1220/21 in general is tough but explained the concepts very well and always let us to about what she expects for tests. She would make labs interesting with humour and was also very helpful during labs. enjoyed very much, would recommend!

Valentine is one of the kindest professors i know. It is easy to get a high grade if you study hard and effectively. A lot of people bring her down because she docs marks for spelling and believes she is challenging but I believe her marks are reflecting of the work put in. She is kind and funny and i genuinely love her as a human.

Everyone says she's overly tough, but I think her quizzes/tests were actually quite fair. Valentine is super caring and helpful prof who makes her classes very entertaining. In general, this is a tough course and it requires a lot of studying outside of class.

So many reviews say she's terrible but I couldn't disagree more. If you participate in labs and interact with her you will see how caring she is for her students. It is a harder course but she pushes you to figure things out through the lab activities as opposed to just giving you answers which in the end helped me a lot through the course!

Valentine is an amazing lab prof to have for your first year, she explains the all the content, answers questions very well and is very kind. The labs are heavy and she can be a harsh marker compared to other profs but I learned so much in this course and if you do the work and study regularly you will pass.

The course is heavy in itself, and needs A LOT of studying outside of class. However, I found her lab quizzes and exams to be fair. She was kind, and always willing to answer questions. I found that she went over all the necessary content, and even helped us by clarifying & simplifying content. If you put the effort into this class, you'll do well.

I have seen many reviews about her saying she was difficult. To be honest she's actually very sweet and helpful. You will do well in her lab as long as you study well outside of the lab. For lab quizzes I often studied the objectives on the manual and never had any issues. She is willing to help and is giving with partial marks

Valentine is very caring towards her students and she tries to make the 3 hour lab more enjoyable by having a silly personality. The content is heavy and hard but if you put in the work you will see it pay off. She is a stickler about spelling but its anatomy so it makes sense.

The course itself was difficult but Valentine is super sweet and a great teacher.

Valentine is so sweet, caring, and funny. The content is heavy so I honestly didnt do well during quizzes but that isnt Valentines fault, she is genuinely a really good professor who cares about her students, she is responsive to emails and makes three hour labs go by quickly P.S. Someone's accent shouldn't be a valid reason to give a lower rating

She teaches things well just that the concepts are super difficult and unfortunately if you don't spell everything correctly you will lose lots of marks.

Valentine was honestly a great professor. she's clear on her expectations and is fair. Do not get discouraged by what you see on here, she is just like every other lab instructor. Lab is a very common class to do bad in, hence why people shift the blame to Valentine. Her and Jessica are the best lab instructors.

This class is so difficult and content heavy, but Valentine was always willing to help and answer questions. She'll try to give as many partial marks as she can on her quizzes and even the lab tests.The content we need to know is a lot, it ends up making people bitter about their prof, but Valentine grades fair and teaches well.

Professor is nice and caring. The course is content heavy, so not everything can always be covered in full, which is understandable given the amount of material. Teaching style is concise with clear expectations and a strong focus on key concepts. Would take this instructor again and found the material interesting.
