Reviews of professor Ariane Cantin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Amazing professor. Good lectures, lots of material but exam stress was alleviated because she allowed a single sheet of notes for the final. Labs seemed intimidating at first, but assignments are graded fairly and they provided lots of resources and feedback along the way, so you know what they're looking for. Highly recommended!

Dr. Cantin is an incredible professor. She is an extremely engaging lecturer and she genuinely cares about her students. I would love to take another class with her, she deserves all the praise!

I had Ariane for BIOL 315 and ECOL 413, and she was amazing for both. She had very well designed lectures and courses, and I liked her teaching style. She is kind and easy to reach for extra help.

Don't know how you could do bad in this course as long as you come to lecture, understand the concepts, and use the cheat sheet to your advantage. Lab worksheets were done in teams and gave you more than enough knowledge to write a good individual research report. Highly recommend Dr. Cantin!

A lot of people liked Cantin, but I found her lectures to be quite self explanatory and the tests to not be clear, making them far more difficult than they needed to be. This may have been more of the course criteria lacking then Cantin, but I felt the tests were trying to make easy information hard.

Cantin was a nice professor who was always organized and knew what she was doing. She was there to help and answered questions promptly. The tests were fair. The only downside is that, allegedly, they couldn't give high marks on the lab portion of this class so the marking was strict to ensure averages stayed the same from past years.

Had Cantin for Biol 313 and for 315.very intelligent prof who understands how students learn. Lectures are well organized and clear, makes challenging material seem much easier and digestable. The content itself is HARD so be prepared to study and the labs are long but Dr cantin is well organized and will answer all questions that you have.
