Margaret Yap

Not a good professor at all.

She's an amazing prof! All the bad reviews are def exaggerated bc if you come to class & take notes from her slides, you'll be good. She says stuff during the lectures like "can I put this on the exam?", after explaining a concept/question & giving a clear criteria of what she'd look for on the exam. She cares abour students and is funny too!

super boring lectures that could be finished quickly if she wasn't a total yapathon with her personal life stories. had to attend tho cause she lets you know whats on the exam. unfortunately she's the only one teaching this class.

Review - Professor Margaret Yap does her best to teach a dry but interesting course. Although attendance isn't mandatory, she will give bonus marks to those who attended lectures. Course material is heavy but she does provide clear examples. She also gives hints on what to expect for the midterm and final. Overall, not a bad professor.

Attendance not mandatory, but helpful as she explains her dry slides a bit better and sometimes gives useful test tips and hints. Course is not that difficult honestly if you study, the final was a bit hard but not too many curveballs.

Easily the hardest class I've ever taken at TMU. The midterm and exam is extremely hard and her lectures is not well explained. After the midterm, the second half of the class is math based calculations which she will explain verbally. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Exams are content-heavy and her lectures aren't enough to feel prepared for them. I'm also not a fan of how Dr. Yap teaches; for calculation questions, she verbally explains how to get the answer WITHOUT visualizing the step-to-step process. So, I found it difficult to follow along and take adequate notes for any math problems.

One of the most hardest MHR courses at TMU. Final exam was worth 50%. Which means if you did well throughout the semester, your final mark can change in an instant if you don't do so well on the final. She didn't post the calculation questions during class which shows up during the final. Have to be quick to write it down.

This class is by far the hardest MHR class I have ever taken, and having her as a professor sure doesn't help. Her classes make you want to sleep, and the midterm and exam are challenging for no reason. This course is very content-heavy, so be prepared to memorize it.

MHR849 is a content heavy class but she makes it easier to understand. Attendance is not mandatory but I encourage you to go because she gives hints for exams and shows slides she doesn't post on d2l. TAs can be tough graders though, so be sure to get a good group or make sure you connect with the TA. Overall great prof!
