Worst prof.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She gave me an extra 2 weeks almost to finish a paper and she did that towards the end of the term when everything gets hectic. She's got a good heart and I think she cares more than students think. Just talk to her if something is wrong and I am sure she will help you.

Avoid her. She's nice to her students but she is such a tough grader, I debated on dropping the class mid-semester, even though I needed this class, I wish I had, anything you say is not up to her standards. I did an assignment, pretty much wrote exactly what she wrote in her notes and I still did awful. You need to go to every class for the notes.

She's definitely socially awkward but she really cares about her students and wants to be helpful. Really did not like her grading. On the midterms and term paper she expected way more from the answers than the questions seemed to ask for. Even when I thought I was giving too much info it still wasn't enough. Was overall disappointed with the class

There is lots of reading, she's good at explaining the readings though. Listen and take good notes and you'll be fine. Essays were gross though.

I wouldn't recommend her as a prof to be honest. She marks very had and wants very specific answers but does not tell you how to get them. The small quizzes out of 5 can be a grade booster but the written questions are worth more and it can be very difficult if you have trouble understanding the material.

Celia does not care about her students or the grades they receive. Provides unclear instructions on course material and assignments, brags about never giving anyone 100%, and takes marks off for a single word being off (literally "the"). GPA killer she is the worst. Celia single handedly ruined Philosophy for me. Everything you don't want in a prof

Celia was a great prof! This course can be really difficult and content heavy, but if you show up to her weekly lectures then you will be set for this course. Very easy gpa booster. She takes the best 10 of 13 quizzes and best 8 of 10 reading questions which is really great. The essay and final are based off the reading questions.

This was the most disappointing class Ive taken at MacEwan. The weight of assignments was ridiculous considering 65% was due in the last two weeks of the semester for a 100-elective course. Our 30% paper had barely any instructions as well. I would not recommend this course with this professor unless youre desperate.

Philosophy is naturally a difficult subject to keep students engaged in as the content itself can be dry. I think she made the best use out of otherwise confusing content. Prof. Byrne marked fairly and was always approachable for questions. Overall, I would say a good choice IF you genuinely want to learn something and not just get an easy A.
