the class I took was RM and it's safe to say that all the grades rely on the writing and assignments you hand in to the teacher. I did not have a quiz or anything like that, just a presentation, many reports and one research essay.

I took Nicola for RM and all of her notes, slides and directions are very well organized and straight forward. If you follow her guidelines and directions in class, you can easily get good grades in the class. the only time you will have work outside of the class is for a few projects and any work you did not finish in lab.

Nicola Hope is a really good teacher, I personally was failing at the start of the semester but when I started to really use the tools she provided (documents, PowerPoints and office hours) I really started to get ahead. Another thing she does that proved to be so helpful is the feedback she provided which really made all the difference. I know some classmates did find her to be overwhelmed and demanding but it really is all about time management. I think she is an amazing teacher for RM, she explains things simply and very clearly, and most of all she is super helpful. She is very nice and fair and I don't think I can say the same about a lot of rm teacher that I encountered. I would 100% suggest to take her as an RM teacher but you gotta be ready to do the work, because it's not easy, she does have high standards and expects the students to do their part.
