Reviews of professor Barbara Stefanska

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Stefanska is very clear with her delivery of course content. She cares a lot about her students and their learning. The course is also very interesting. However, she can be pretty stern with grading/tests. She's very intelligent, accessible outside of class, and tries to meet her students half way, which is much appreciated. Great prof overall.

Barbara is one of the worst profs I've ever known. She is terrible at explaining the complexity of nutritional concepts and often repeats the question students ask in her response. Her wording in her exams are very confusing and her notes are very disorganized, making it even harder to understand the course material. I strongly do not recommend.

This is the first class that makes me feel tough, but the information is helpful and practical in life. It takes me some time to adapt her accent at first, but you will get used to it within one week. She is very nice, soft and she understands your circumferences if you meet any difficulties. She respects you and tries to know her student's name.

She may be a good prof that knows her things but it is just SO HARD to understand her lectures. She has a really strong accent that I find it hard to understand. Ubc should hire people that are not only smart BUT that could also speak good English.

Barbara was an extraordinary professor. She cares for her students which was made evident in her lecture by asking and answering questions. She made it very easy to excel in her course. Like any course, you do have to study but the work was not a burden. One of my favorite professors during my time at UBC.

STAY AWAY FROM HER AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!! no organized lectures, she had no empathy for students, she tested on the smallest little detail possible, and basically blamed students for online schooling during covid.

Caring prof and available outside of class. Midterm and final are weighted heavy and are hard. Her assessment are not just simply memorization but you have to underStand the material to its core. There is lots of material. If you can choose a diff prof but she is not bad either and is sweet but can be difficult to get a good grade

Very nice professor! She spends lots of time explaining the complicated materials and makes it clear. The most impressive thing is that she cares about every student, when I have some confusions then I would send an email, then she always replies soon and ends up with "no problem, ziheng(my name)". Which is warm and so encouraging! So respectful!
