Reviews of professor Anastasia Stuart-Edwards

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I found Anastasia to be a great professor, however be aware of the heavy grading on the group project. It was worth 40% of the final grade in my term, and she picks your groups for you which can make it more difficult (might change). She does expect you to come to class as well as she takes attendance for each session.

Anastasia is not a very engaging instructor and strives for class discussions. The issue with this however is that she is not encouraging to students during these discussions. She will shut down your ideas if you are not giving her what she wants. I found that this meant there were little class discussions near the end of the semester.

The material is super dry and can drag on and on but overall the class is super easy. No midterms, just 5 small quizzes that have individual and team components. Do your readings (or skim) and complete the guided notes. They're handy for quick studying for the quiz and she checks them. Lots of group work, so hope that you get a good one!

I read the other ratings and I gotta say, I don't know what they are talking about. She is clear and straight forward, there are weekly assignments that are out of 3 points and so far I haven't received less than a 100%. the exams are straight forward as long as you read the textbook or come to class and she is open to feedback. I liked her.

The course is really easy however participation is worth 20% of your overall grade, so you need to go to class. She posts a little bit of material on moodle but majority of it is based on what you learn in class and the readings. There are also 4 quizzes that make up 50% of your grade that are 25 questions and you only get 10 minutes to do them.

This prof was often very condescending and would ask questions in class and then basically shame you if you got them wrong. Her rubric for the group assignment was brutal and that made it almost impossible to get a good grade. Then the only exam she has was the final and it is so much information from the entire semester in just one final. Avoid.

She was very knowledgeable and explained topics well. My only issue was she was condescending at times. I was very pleased with her comments and grade on my final project. However she went back after I wrote my final exam and changed the comments. The comments were very condescending.

This course is very dry and straight forward in terms of material. Every class attendance is taken, and it is important to participate in class as participation counts for 20% of the final grade. Tests were very strange in this class; composed of multiple-choice questions, with an individual and team component, with a 10-minute time limit.
