Reviews of professor Marie Gadziola

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Very hard exam. I honestly tried so hard in this class by attending lectures, reading textbook and articles and I did not do well at all. You walk out of her exams thinking it was easy and straight forward, but really she is looking for very specific details and marks very hard. Group assignments boost your mark. As a prof, she is a great lecturer.

When it came to lecturing she was great. But the test and papers are marked really hard.

Although she is nice and explains well, her grading is awful. This course has been made to make you fail. Feedback doesn't help at all. They want very specific answers on the test. Midterm avg was so bad that almost half the class dropped out. No matter how hard u work they will give u a 50% on ur lab report worth 15%. It's a curse for NRO majors.

I can't believe how HARSH some of these ratings are. Yes, her courses are hard - but you should expect that in a C-level NRO course. Take THOROUGH lecture notes, structure your SAQ answers around the way she presented the material, and talk to her outside of class. She is incredibly sweet and encouraging and by far my favourite NRO prof!

In terms of teaching she's honestly one of the best profs I've had and she explains very well. In terms of grading, she is pretty hard because she always requires you include very specific things in your responses and it often isn't easy to know what they are. Make sure you answer every part of the question, and include as much info as possible.

Professor Gadziola is a clear lecturer and she clarifies concepts well. However I found her exams personally to be pretty hard as the question seems general but shes actually looking for specific details. You really need to study very very hard to do well in this course. The group assignments helped boost your mark though.

Average lecturer. Spreads the grades over tons of assignments worth a fraction of the marks and makes the whole course so much more work. Doesn't allow us to download the online lectures forcing us to use the abysmal media player that slows down note-taking because you have to individually click on each function to pause and move forward or back.

I've had her for two terms straight and I'm so glad that I don't have her this semester. Although she is a very good lecturer but boyyy she is an extremely tough grader. She looks for specific things and if you don't write it you get a straight zero. She is definitely one of those who does not like to keep her class avg high.

For a D-level class, I couldn't have hoped for a better prof. SO understanding and flexible - spread out the assignments really well. Marks presentations fairly (isn't scared to give a 90 if you deserved it!). Participation is a must and the poster project was a stressful but pleasant experience, which lets you practice real-life skills.
