Reviews of professor Carol Manseau

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Her lectures are 3 hours spent on reading directly from the lecture slides and TED talks. She is very soft spoken and is not good at keeping a class engaged. Her quizzes and assignments are inconsistent, and confusing and so is her grading. If I didn't have to take this course I would have dropped it already.

It is clear she wants her students to succeed. I felt supported by her during my placement. She is accommodating and caring. Was available outside of class for support. She has an interesting career as a social worker with lots of experience.

The previous posts are harsh. She was always available to provide support outside of class. I enjoyed her lectures and hearing about her experiences with clients and patients. Lots of experience which translates into her lectures.

Carol's teaching is not engaging. Lectures are long, consisting of TED talks and reading directly from slides. Attendance was completely mandatory, even testing positive for Covid was not a "good reason" to miss lectures. An absent mark was threatened if we were on our phones during lectures. Only took this course because I had to.

Found this class very boring. I wish they offered it online. I only took this class because it was mandatory. I was very disapointed because the prof always read word for word from her slides and notes. I found that she wasted a lot of time with group discussions and never added any substance to the lectures. Not impressed at all!

Carol was extremely helpful and caring during my placement. She really cares about her students succeeding. I felt the seminars were a safe place to talk about the challenges that we were experiencing in placement. I had her as my field liaison for both placements and felt I was in good hands.

I am taking this course in the summer and I wish I never did. she expects a lot out of her students; We literally write 3 papers every week (seriously), the textbook is mandatory since we need to be including it in our writings, and lectures are boring since she just reads off the slides. The course is hard to keep up with.

She is not a responsible prof. She seems to understand nothing about the placement and presents really ugly in front of the placement agency... It makes us look really bad and it's hard to do daily work with the agency... Awful experience....

A great example of someone who may be skilled in their profession but is a poor teacher. Lacks confidence in teaching and presenting. Did whatever they could to lecture as little as possible (group presentations and videos every week, cancelled class twice, cut class short). I can confidently say I learned nothing, avoid at all costs if you can.
