Amazing professor that is very passionate for her job as a teacher. Always gives quick responses and is pretty reasonable with requests.

Terrible at teaching. The stuff she teaches are glance at the actual stuff, and the assignments she gave are not consistent with the level she teaches. Do not take LIN200 and this is not a bird course what so ever  with her. Avoid.

she is literally one of the best profs I have ever seen in UofT! She stays up late before test to answer your questions. However, her grading is kind of strict.

Kept bullsh*t during lecture, the test is super super hard and not related to what she said during the lecture. The worst professor that I have seen. DON'T take her courses.

Amazing professor, she's obviously passionate about the work she does and she definitely wants to see her students succeed. The material is not difficult and is easy to understand, however she is a tough grader with very specific criteria. This class is easy to do reasonably well in but if you want to get a 4.0, she'll make you work for it.

Professor Brook is the most caring and understanding professor ever. Her lectures are entertaining, and she cares a lot about the topics covered in class. She always replies to emails fast and is always resourceful. She is accommodating of students' needs, like extensions for deadlines and make-up for exams (make sure you let her know beforehand).

Professor Brook was very passionate about the subject material and i think she did a very good job explaining things. The tests were unfortunately very tough, but I think that's because of some difficulty she had in adopting the normal LIN203 tests for the online semester.

Possibly the most accommodating professor ever. She clearly wants her students to succeed and will go above and beyond. The curriculum for this course is very heavy, but she posts slides and recordings of lecture so you can review them as many times as necessary. Assignments are flexible and do well at covering the wide range of course content.

Professor Brook was a dream. Her professionalism and care when responding to emails put most U of T profs to shame. She created an inviting lecture environment and was very passionate about her teaching. She broke down concepts well and her lecture slides were great. The tests were a bit hard, but the assignments were a grade booster. Thank you!
