Reviews of professor Amelia Horsburgh

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
First year uni student here: she was not the right prof for me. She treated us like children/"friends" and never gives out marks higher than a low 90 (her words, not mine). She is a very sweet person to talk to and has flexible deadlines which were appreciated but if you use the rubric, you will probably get marks docked for lack of creativity.

Take her class!! She gives extremely clear rubriks and expectations. She was obviously very passionate about the subject matter, which makes the class very engaging. She is funny and approachable. And as long as you follow her rubrik closely, you will succeed. Half the class is group work, so do the reading! Definitely would take her class again.

Professor Horsburgh was kind and had fun energy however her lectures got off-topic and became political many times. She was not afraid to share her personal beliefs and felt like she had no concern about how that made her students feel. In the whole semester, she only graded one assignment so you have no way of knowing how you are doing.

There isn't enough space to say good things about Dr. H. She's a really great educator and really cares, and marks from an unbiased standpoint which is super rare of English teachers. I would take this class again if I could.

I have one grade in and will not have the rest until after im out of the school. lectures are a waist of time as they help in no way. if you want free credits than this is the course

Prof Horsburgh is an amazing English Professor. I would recommend any first year to try and take english with her because she sets you up to succeed and makes english enjoyable for those who may not be the best at it.

she very organized and I did miss class but made it to most of them which didn't affect me much because all of her teachings are on the viu website. I am bad at writing so this class was a necessity but she made it very fun. Her con is she has big grading criteria does take awhile for her to grade and return stuff back unless it is handed in early.

She was such a motherly prof. Always so caring and willing to answer any questions via email, zoom, phone, etc. She always came to class with such positive energy and really fostered a safe learning environment. Her rubrics are quite confusing and broad at times but if you put in the effort + clarify grey areas with her you will do just fine!

Dr. Horsburgh is an amazing professor. It's easy to see that she genuinely cares about all of her students and the course material. The texts are fascinating and presented in a very accommodating way. A bit easy if you already have a hand at writing academic papers - definitely intended for students fresh out of highschool with little experience
