Study a lot, take many notes because what’s on the exam is not necessarily what’s in the PowerPoints but mostly about her giving examples in class.
Need to attend every class. Her psychology class is way harder than I thought but the things I learned are interesting. Very much strict though. Not a great experience tbh.
She is very strict, and never be late for assignment. She won’t hesitate for taking point on your writing if she is not satisfied or not specific enough. Think that some “obvious” thing to her is obvious to us, student. Bad attitude but explain psychological concept really well. She also never replied to mio, so don’t expect anything.
For the 400 psychology class the grading : paper and oral 50 % 2 exams 20 % each the rest in class exercises, mostly responses from watching documentaries ( not easy ) She is very strict and unflexible teacher, if you want to pass the class to do your paper the EXACT way she wants, don't miss the deadline, no second chances, attend EVERY class, take a lot of notes, the powerpoints won't be posted online, memorize the texbook. You definitely cannot do your work last minute. Expect to put a LOT of efforts into this class. the test materiel from the textbook is not reviewed in class, make sure to read it. For graduating students who are taking her 400-level psychology class, be aware of the risk you are taking. (the above was a review based on facts, i tried to make it unbiased) now for my biased review: among all my semesters at vanier, she was hands down the worst teacher i've ever had. She is the type of teacher that enjoys looking for mistakes, even for simple questions on documentaries, she will look for the information you don't have, so even if you think it's a one sentence answer make sure to write an essay. Like all teachers she will say ask me questions, but if you actually ask it's feels as if she's insulting you. To conclude it will not be an easy class or an easy teacher, if you ended having her be prepared to work hard and good luck.
be sure to be present in all classes, or to at least know someone in the class; there's a lot of material, so not rlly good for a complementary; a lot of documentaries/videos are presented too during class
