not bad

I love Wendy Bourque!!! I don't know why people don't think she's fair. If you know your stuff, you've got an A.

This course was a little harder than I expected. Alot about physiology, less of psyc than I expected. However, in saying this I have to say that Wendy Bourque is an EXCELLENT professor. She's highly recommended by me. She is a GREAT prof!!!!!

She is an AWESOME prof, very friendly, funny, and very good at explaining material that may, at times, be very difficult...I can't say enough good things about her. Wendy is the best prof by far at St. Thomas University!!

This class was difficult, but that was the course not the professor. I found Wendy to be very understanding and she is a fantastic prof. She's very clear and uses wonderful examples to make learning easier. She's my favorite prof at STU.

this is a class where you can expect personal opinion to affect your mark. She gets students to correct her marking, and has also bragged about failing a student because she thought they were testing her by handing in an asignment one minute late.

class was very boring. clas discussions are marked harshly by the Prof..my least favrotie class.. prof was ok, not the greatest.. START ur propsals early.. :).. they r a lot fo work..its true..

Boring Boring Boring. She is incredibly boring. Her multiple choice questions are extremely unfair and she marks really harshly. If you feel like writing a 25 page proposal this is the class for you.

I'm shocked with all the dissing here. Wendy is a great prof and person. She's respecting, has a sense of humor, friendly, and certainly fair. Don't be fooled by the whines of dummies who hate *any* prof they take. She can be dry but she's a good person who knows her stuff and I recommend her.

Some people may find her boring, but she was able to get the main points across very well. I found her course interesting. She is approachable and willing to help those who put the time and effort into the class. Also having the power point slides online was helpful if you happen to miss a class.

Wendy is a great Proff. Although her lectures are kinda boring.. she is very clear with her notes, and does not throw any curves at you with her exams. The group work aspect may throw some people off, but it is an easy way to get marks.

Wendy is a very good prof, she is always willing to go over unclear material, and she had many variations for explaining the saem thing...vary helpful! Though her classes were somewhat dry her little jokes make it worth while. she is a very approahcable person and all her notes are online!

Although class can be someone boring, Wendy is an extremely friendly, understanding, and helpful prof. Another great thing about her Sensation and Perception classes is that all the notes you need for the midterms and final are online. I really enjoyed her class, and loved the little jokes she threw into the lectures.

Wendey is a great prof! I had her for child devlopment & perception. The best thing to do is devlope a raport with. On your very first day of class introduce yourself. Sit in the first coupple of Rows of seats, show her that you are intrested. My only complaint is that she dumbs materal down so the simpletons will get it. Very snappy Dresser to.

Very helpful, and kind. All of her slides are on the internet, and there are no surprises when it comes to her exams. If you show that you are interested in her class, she will generally like you. Her corny jokes are funny to!

I really liked her. There was no surprises on the exam and everything came from the textbook. One of the easiest A's I've ever got.

This class wasn't hard but the she is so boring it's hard to concentrate. She often rambles off and forgets what she's talking about and she lost my midterm!! I would not recommend this class.

A very classy lady! An A-1 person and prof. It was a joy to be in her class! Another prime example of what people in the teaching profession should be like!

MY #1 FAVORITE PROFESSOR!! EXTREMELY NICE!!!

Wendy is a great prof. If you don't understand an ass. just ask, and she'll help you. One of my favorite psych profs by far. If you go to class and read over your notes it's an easy A.

pretty good, interesting, long classes

Gives lots of examples so you understand and remember better. Tests are fair. Usually combination of mult. choice, short answer and fill in the blanks. Plus, Wendy is super nice and has a cool laugh! Do try and read ahead, it will be extremely helpful. It's not a hard class as long as you try! I took it during intersession, it's very doable.

very nice prof, tries her best to keep things intersting,can get boring, sometimes she doesnt explain well but if you express confusion she'll do her best to clear it up everytime. Wont fail you unless she absolutely has to. She wants her students to do well. Recommend.

This class was alright. The exams and assignments were reasonable. The only thing I hated was the group work! We had group assignments every week, and I don't find group work that helpful or fair in university! Also, she is not as nice as I would have hoped for. Sort of just brushes you off if you have a problem. Wendy and her class were ok though.

I have had several classes with Wendy and found each very fair and relatively easy. No surprises... If you take her Child Development class - Be ready for group work on a weekly basis.

Very nice and approachable, is willing to help if you need it. She has a tendency to ramble on and sometimes goes a bit too quickly, however this may have been due to it being an intersession course that I took. I am taking her again so she must not be that bad!

Prof Bourque is always approachable & willing to help. She has a strong compassion towards her students & has a down-to-earth mentality. I enjoyed her examples, although some can be convoluted. The text for Principles of Learning is outdated & needs to be replaced. Her exams are fair & I found the courses easy & clearly planned out.

Wendy is wonderful! Attendance is not mandatory but she offers a 5% bonus added to your final mark if you have only missed one of the days she took attendance on (she chooses days randomly but its still pretty regular). She is friendly and approachable and has a quiet sense of humor. Would love to take more courses with her!

A bit dry/boring, but made the class comprehensible. Got an A.

I honestly do not understand how people could say Prof Bourque was not a good prof. Dry at times yes, but other than that she gave explanations that helped the students to better understand the concepts. PLUS 5% bonus for being there when she did attendance (at random) AND easy writing assignments

I really liked her as a prof. The subject is hard to make interesting sometimes and she did a good job making it fun for the students. She likes to throw in personal stories that are always amusing!

Very nice professor, and very friendly. She cares about her job and students. Her exams are just the right amount of difficult/easy. She says you need the text book in every class, but you don't ever need the text.. she posts her notes on Moodle. Work very hard on your research proposal, class avg for that was 50% I believe. Really liked her !

Dr. Bourque knows her stuff. If you want to learn about research methods, take her class. However, she can be very dry and the material isn't always that exciting. She does try to switch things up with group work, which is definitely helpful. She is a TOUGH marker. Be thankful her exams are multiple choice because the paper is brutal.

She is AWESOME! I loved this class.

Interesting woman, didn't mind if to fiddled on my tablet in class when things got dry. Very interesting stories and less teaching. Her exams are hard, usually not on what's covered in class but she's willing to spend time with you or of class.

Wendy is an amazing professor! She uses lots of examples and her notes are very easy to follow and very consistent. Your grade is based off of 4 equally weighted multiple choice midterms. The questions for the midterms come directly from textbook and notes material. I would definitely recommend her for intro psych!

She isn't the most exciting person but you can definitely approach her for anything!! She'll gladly explain and she was patient with me when I asked for things to be clarified. There were times that I skipped class but read the textbook, made notes, studied notes and slides and still had a great grade. Good prof :)

Wendy is the BEST psyc prof you will ever have!! Her test questions come directly from material discussed in the textbook and if you go to class her lectures will reinforce this material! Uses lots of examples and is quite humorous! Definitely would recommend her for first year psyc

I was worried about taking this class because of all the negative reviews but i thought Wendy was a good prof. Classes were table group discussions wednesdays and notes on fridays. Tests were tough but she gives options for bonus marks. She is a bit monotone but not really a bad class.

She is a good prof and she knows what shes doing, but the whole class depends in your group work for the proposal. She does grade tough, but there are only two tests and that's the mid-term and exam. I thought over all it was a good class, but i recommend going to Fridays class even if she doesn't take attendance, she explains things properly.

Great prof, no issues at all with Prof Bourque.

Wendy was an absolute delight. She is the reason I have decided to change my major to psychology. While initially, I believed her to be monotone and somewhat boring, I warmed up to her and her dry humor quickly. She covers a lot of material quite quickly, but her notes are all posted to Moodle so attendance isn't as important. She's lovely!

Can take a while to warm up to her. She's very willing to work with you if you show her you're willing to try. Lectures can be a bit boring, but would definitely recommend attending them. Some questions on her exams feel kind of random. The bulk of your grade is related to group work and she makes sure you're aware of this first class.

Wendy Bourque was a really nice, and caring prof! She did have somewhat dry lectures but she didn't take attendance and she posted the slides online which made it easy to catch up. Would take her class again.

I thought this class would have been difficult after seeing the ratings for this professor, but found Wendy to be great, especially when posing questions to her. The only thing about her course is that her PowerPoints have audio on each slide, which may take some time to get through, but she tells you everything you need to know to be successful
