Reviews of professor Karen Ruddy

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She's one of the best profs I've ever had. She truly cares for her students and is a pretty fair marker. You do have to come to class though since you're marked on participation but her lectures aren't too bad.

Professor Ruddy's is a wonderful professor. She is very kind and helpful to students. I really struggle with writing a thesis and she helped me a lot. The readings are super interesting and engaging. Love this class!

Prof Ruddy is AMAZING! She gives a lot of opportunities to succeed and really cares about students. The novels are really interesting. She goes over everything so thoroughly in lectures, if you take good notes you do well. Had her as my TA. She is very approachable and helpful Highly recommended!

This course was a bit heavy but I liked it and it is probably my favorite course so far. The prof is nice and she explains everything you need to know in detail. She also tells you what the questions on the exam are going to be. I recommend her.

Professor Ruddy is great! She always comes to class in a great mood and is open to answering any questions. Her lectures are very informative, the only downside is she does not post the slides on e-class. The rubric for assignments are clear and she gives more than enough time to complete them. The course is 3 assignments and 1 take home exam.

She's a very understanding lecturer, hence a great instructor. Loved every bit of her class, and I don't know why the rating is so low compared to the quality of her classes. It was a great course overall. I'd recommend taking her class whenever possible.

I had her for 1770 HUMA, she is super knowledgeable and really knows her stuff. The content for that course is fairly interesting, though if you are looking for an easy A, this might not be the course for you. I think she is wonderful, she does mark kinda hard, she ended up as my TA as well. If you get another TA, you may be able to land easy A's.

IF YOU SKIP CLASS, YOU WILL NOT GET PARTICIPATION MARKS WHICH ARE 20%. RIDICULOUS. THERE ARE ALSO EXERCISES DUE DURING CLASS, AFTER CLASS (SAME DAY OF LECTURE), AND A PAPER THAT IS DUE EVERY CLASS. SOMETIMES SHE WILL MAKE EXERCISES AND PAPERS DUE ON THE SAME DAY OF THE LECTURE.
