She's a nice person but a really bad public speaker, and rambles on about irrelevant topics during the lecture such as the Nazis and how her family fought in the war. The way she presented her lectures made it so that it was easier to understand when she wasn't speaking vs when she was.

Dr Pearson is one of the most compassionate and kind professors at SFU. She is so down to earth and always willing to help. You can tell she cares for students! If you take BISC 204, make sure to take it with her, you'll really enjoy the course!

Dr. Pearson is passionate about indigenous peoples and making the world a better place. She is a genuinely kind person. Her lectures were hard to follow at times, I often didn't know what to review from class. I found her grading was quite lenient, however the TAs were not. The class was not very organized either, no strict rubrics or syllabus.

Extremely hard grader. Hardly any partial credit and hardly uses the book for assignments and doesn't explain anything.

Audrey is an amazing prof and the lectures are also very clear however, the exams are very tough. The exams were very difficult and a lot of memorization is required in this course.

Lectures are a toss-up, sometimes easy to follow sometimes not. Dr. Pearson herself is great.

This is the worst teacher I have ever taken. Will not help you outside of class and will send you to videos for information that doesn't exist. Be prepared to hate your life and this class even more.

Dr. Pearson has been my absolute favourite prof of all time. She is so passionate. I will be the first to say her lects are a tad scattered but it's easy to condense the information and pick out the important concepts. Exams involve lots of writing, but are pretty general. She cares about her students, if you need anything, she's there to help.

Dr. Pearson's personality made the class great! She's SUPER knowledgable, loves her work, and delved deep into climate issues w/o repeating the same jargon we hear all the time. She was compassionate and caring. My critique are her exams. All written. She kinda trolled us for the final saying there would be lots of graphs, but not a graph in site
