Dr. Stover for Chem 1AA3. Absolutely hilarious (in his own weird way). He may not be as good as Lock in terms of teaching, but he's definitely one of my favourites so far.

Also, Dr. Allen for Philos 1A03. An amazing prof and one of the most knowledgeable and passionate that I've had so far.

She's a bit overrated. Her lectures are bland and not engaging, her tests are purely memorization and don't require critical thought at all. Long answer questions basically require a list of specific terms for each mark mark and don't take into account your understanding of the concepts. Walking out of her exams or tests, I immediately forget everything I memorized because it's so mundane.

She turned 3HH3, which could have been an interesting advanced cell biology course, into a Drosophila anatomy and embryology course. Her tests are easy though, and she is decent at explaining things, if you manage to pay attention.

I guess my post sounded too serious...? I apologize too!

(That is to say, you didn't need to feel bad or say sorry.)

Ahem.
I'm totally like this right now----->

(And I love the emoticons on MI. So...expressive....)

ahh sorry i don't mean to scare you...but i found w/ cell bio and genetics the exam was just BRUTAL, cell bio was easy but LONG as hell. Genetics was the same, long as hell, despite the fact that she said it was "designed to be a 2h exam" (riiiiiiight....). there were things on that exam that just required a lot of thought and time, and i remember walking out of there feeling really shitty about it. in the end, it all worked out (mark wise), but my grade definitely dropped at least 2 points.

don't worry though!! study hard and it will be okay good luck!!!

By far, I'd have to say my favourite prof so far has been Dr. Dick Day; teaches a bunch of psych courses. He is a phenomenal prof. His slides are short and to the point, and he explains everything thoroughly while lecturing. You can tell he knows his shit. Clear, concise, and throws in some humour here and there. Mind you, his tests for 2AP3 were difficult, testing several smaller facts. That's the only drawback to him IMO.

He also rocks suspenders, which is badass.

Doesn't he have a 3M teaching award? :O

Oooh, I've heard of Dr. Dick Day! My friend calls him 'Santa Claus', she thinks he's awesome too! I can't wait to attend his class next year, hopefully!

Dr. Soltys� �� �� �� �� �

Childs is a good lecturer, not so good one on one.
Ben mares is the opposite from above
provotas is good 1v1 and lectures

I think his testing style is so terrible that I would never ever take another course with him. There's just no point if half the test is going to be on random statistics that he tells us probably aren't even accurate anyways. He's a decent lecturer, but nothing special. IMO, the best part of his course was the guest lectures.

I'm guessing you took 2AP3 with him? A fraction of the tests and almost none of the exam was on the statistics you have mentioned. Plus the statistics are not random, if you are serious about this field then it would be important to know the prevalence, and thus the likelihood that someone has this or that disorder.

I've had Personality with him and almost all the questions were entirely critical-thinking based and not pure memorization.

Quite a bit was on statistics, and that's not what is actually important. Also, some of his questions had multiple answers that were true, but the question asked which was or was not discussed in class...so if an answer was accurate but not mentioned in class, it was considered 'wrong'. If the point of that course was blind memorization of inaccurate statistics and other random factoids, then the tests were well-made. That is not, however, what I would like from a course or what I consider to be valuable information. I would rather not waste my time with it, so I would never take another course with him, regardless of whether or not I'm actually interested in the subject matter.

For math: Hart, Wang, Lozinski, Bronsard, Boden

For math Dr. Lovric, he is very clear in his explanations and is pretty funny (he doesn't even TRY to be!)

Dr. Peace for geography. His friend "Dumbledore" was a guest lecturer last semester.
