Reviews of professor Kiera Ladner

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lots of reading, but it's interesting and informative. Need to listen to take notes, doesn't have slides. A little disorganized, but not the worst. The worse part was we didn't have much marks back until the end, but the assignments are interesting.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Very arrogant and appears to enjoy criticizing student work for the sake of it. Set up rules for class discussions and almost immediately broke them herself by ranting at a student for having the wrong opinion. Very strict about deadlines for students but not for herself and was repeatedly late on providing materials to the class. Stay away!!

You're gonna do a lot of reading and her discussions don't always pertain exactly to the reading, but they do compliment each other so pay attention. Lots of group discussion. If you have a problem, just be honest and let her know as soon as possible and she'll help. If you've paid attention and done the work, you will leave her class inspired.

Must go to class - she doesn't post notes. Doesn't allow laptop use but she talks slow enough to take hand-written notes and will repeat things if you ask. She's nice, makes jokes and is laidback which is great. Her lectures are somewhat disorganized so organize your notes after each class. Overall, good prof.

Decent prof, no online notes or in class presentation. Attendance is mandatory if you want to write notes from the lecture. Teaching style is a little disorganized. She is a nice person but not the best prof.

One of the worst profs for me, extremely difficult + heavy course, WAY too much course load, I average B+ in all of my other classes and I minor in POLS. Do not take her, can't believe I'm saying it but she can be caring at times NOT always. Found her to be very rude towards students at times as well. Her ratings are low for a reason.
