Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She's honestly a really nice professor. Except for marking.

Dr Zurba was an extremely frustrating professor to deal with. She was not flexible when she made mistakes pertaining to the syllabus, and poorly planned the schedule for the class. Her grading criteria, and even use of D2L for assignment submission was extremely unclear. She was not understanding of these difficulties and blamed the students.

She accommodates everyone and the structure of the course was fair. Lectures were dragged out and often a waste of time, focus on the major research project and you will do fine.

Very responsive to emails. Very clear grading and easy marker for quizzes. If you're taking CMN432, the real meat and potatoes of the course are the workshops and your workshop instructor will greatly effect your mark. They can be not so easy when it comes to marking all the projects and essays.

She seems nice and caring at first but shes so picky and a TOUGH grader. No matter what you write she will complain and take off marks. She was never clear about what she wants for the assignments and her instructions were vague and confusing.

Unfortunately, my experience with the teacher left much to be desired. The teacher had a tendency to make abrupt changes to assignment details at the eleventh hour. These changes not only created unnecessary stress but also left students scrambling to adapt their work to the new requirements.

Readings were brutal, many were hard to understand and lengthy. Her lectures did not help at all as she spoke very fast, too quiet and read of the slides. Half the time, the content on her slides would be direct quotes from the reading - not helpful. Assignments were okay, but marked very hard.

When I first signed up for Zoriannas class, I was super enthusiastic and excited to learn about dystopian themes. However, when the classes started to begin, it was filled with hour long monotone lectures that made even the most lively fall asleep. She should maybe think of spicing up her lectures, because her classes soon became a nap time for me

(CMN325) Dr Zurba's lectures are not engaging, she's extremely soft spoken and does not use a mic, and she makes D2L so hard to navigate for her students (she overcomplicates a lot) . Dr Zurba marks somewhat fairly but I would not recommend her as a prof, steer away if you can

She seems attentive  and engaged at first but shes so not picky and an impossible  grader. No matter what you write she will complain and take off marks. She was never clear about what she wants for the assignments and her instructions were vague and confusing.  If not Ill prepared.
