Reviews of professor Amanda Parkes

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Constantly hides grades,so we don't know where we're at before tests. Removes material from Blackboard before tests (and never un-hides them) so review or preparations for tests is difficult.
Lecture heavy and constant technical issues from her end which she blames the students. Announcements include "Please do not email or ask me for mark updates.

You need to show up to every class, every class there is roughly 30 minutes of homework on a program that marks it for you. She is a lazy teacher though, never had to mark one thing in our class and only relies on the computer to teach everything. Goes very fast through things and doesn't go back to help you understand

I work 50hrs/week, have family to care for, and take 2 courses part-time. Parkes posts lots of videos, and if you don't watch, you won't know how to complete your projects. The course was too demanding for me personally, and she graded extremely harshly. Lots of technical issues on her end (corrupt files, 'not' receiving submissions, hiding grades)

Assignments are extremely difficult, time consuming, heavily weighted and one could not even be completed if you have a Mac. Required having to drive two and a half hours both ways on a day off to use a school computer, which is next to impossible on any given day due to an inherent lack of school computers at Georgian to begin with.

Generally STATS is a difficult course, I failed in the course i should have done better. The professor was straight forward gave marks for what we wrote could have been a bit more generous and leniant.

Amanda is an awesome, vibrant and energetic professor, who CLEARLY loves her job. At the end of every single class, she would offer her own time to help students, if needed. I think she did an excellent job covering the class material and liked how no class time was wasted. Amanda is one of the best teachers I've ever had, hands down. Awesome prof.
