Reviews of professor Loren Gaudet

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Since most people who take ENGL 112 are only doing it for 1st year ENGL pre req and have no interest in the subject, she understands that and gives us very little homework outside of class. Her lectures are fun and she is super enthusiastic about her topics and overall makes english way more enjoyable than the average english class

Heard so many terrible things about WRDS150, but can't relate. It's a reading and writing class, so get ready for exactly that. Prof Gaudet does a really good job of promoting interest in the subject because she's super passionate about it. Gives great advice and grades reasonably. Super nice and respectful of her students. Great prof.

Professor Gaudet is one of the most engaging professors I have ever had at UBC. She has a talent for fostering lively discussion, which I have not found in many professors with far more experience. All readings for the course are online, and they are always fascinating. Loren is very knowledgeable about the pieces and the authors! Also so kind:)

Loren was definitely one of the best professors I've had in my first year at UBC. She is really caring and very flexible with deadlines.

shes very kind and understanding, it's clear she cares about her students although it doesn't feel like I've learned anything that will be applicable or useful for my academic career.

Very sweet and caring lady, marks slightly difficult but as expected. Readings before class are required

Loren is passionate about her teaching and it shows! She marks fairly and gives great feedback. I don't think she's ever given over an 88 though, so if you're aiming for an A+, it'll be tough. That said, she is an amazing instructor who cares deeply about her students. Will not regret taking her course.

Loren is a great lecturer, first and foremost, but watching the lectures aren't super necessary, in my opinion. Do be prepared to read A LOT for this class, and make sure you are on top of all the assignments and reading discussions (I've missed a couple by accident). Taking ENGL229 has definitely improved my critical thinking and writing skills.

Extremely friendly, easy to communicate to her about assignments. Goes out of her way to give feedback for assignments both graded and ungraded! Do be prepared for group discussion though (but they aren't graded). Makes her expectations clear. Very passionate about research/academia and will discuss with you outside of class if you're interested!
