Reviews of professor Helene Love

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
A great lecturer! Helene is engaging and ensures to take her time when lecturing so no student falls behind when note-taking. Grading scheme is a little bit nit picky in regard to getting a full 100% in essay/IRAC questions on exams (understandably so). But if you did well in CRIM 330, CRIM 438 with Helene would be an amazing course for you.

Dr. Love is one of the best profs in the Crim dept. I took 330 with her and I bet nobody can teach better than her, you can see her passion for law in the lecture. She is accessible outside of class and is genuinely concerned about giving her best feedback for us to improve though, exams have very short-word limits. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended!!!

Her lecturers are good and she tries to make it entertaining for students and keep engagement. The only problem with this class is the assignments are graded way too harshly. They give you a word count and expect you to apply all the rules and applicable laws to it within the word count. It is impossible to touch on everything and stay within it.

This class was good and the lectures were an okay length. Use the textbook and make sure to listen to the online lectures. The bad part of this class is the marking, it was so harsh. The assignments are worth 50% together and there are weekly quizzes. There is no midterm and the final was cumulative. The exam was not super difficult, know the info.

Took two classes with her and I have no regrets! She is amazing and caring and her lectures are super resourceful! Crim 230 and 330 are meant to be difficult so put in that work! Her TAs are very resourceful and try their best to help you succeed. Her exams are fair but most ppl felt that they are under tight time constraint.

Trouble keeping up with readings and lectures. If you miss something, forget it because she doesn't repeat - even the big ideas - and the lectures are not recorded or accessible online at all. Didn't adapt well to COVID times, had multiple online lectures but you still need to go to tutorials, so you still need to be on campus.
