She really cared about us students and I hope she's a prof for upper year medbiophysics courses!

Hated this particular class and the weekly tutorials. Going to lectures was dreadful bc Erica just repeats everything off the slides that are already posted. Whenever she gives advice for assignments and group projects, I am left more confused. She also isn't very engaging with her students, I just don't listening to her talk.

Erica is very approachable and always willing to help her students succeed in her class. Her lectures were engaging and she explained concepts in a way that was easy to understand. Prior to tests she always hosted review lectures and answered any questions. The main downside to this class was that the tests felt rushed in the 50min class periods.

I took this class as an elective & while it required effort, it was a great class! Erica's lectures were very clear, she provided many practice problems & was willing to answer questions. However, the grading criteria for assignments were not super detailed compared to what the TAs were looking for & the tests felt rushed during the 50min periods.

This was the easiest class of first year! Erica showed us a new resource at Mcmaster each week which was really kind. No other prof did that!

Lectures were actually interesting unlike so many other online courses this year. I liked that she talked about her research so we could see how what we were learning could be used.
