she's ok but super slow at grading and gives unclear instructions on her assignments
Never attended class so I don't actually know how good of a prof she is, but the midterm and exam were both fair if you study/do your readings. However, I felt that the assignment needs to have clearer instructions! The discussion board for the assignment had an absurd amount of questions from students cause of how vague the instructions are.
I don't really like Fiona's class, I get lost a lot! I think she knows a lot, but when it comes to lectures she is slow. She gave us chapters from a textbook, which was amazing, but also she added lots of other readings, and she asked a lot about the readings in the midterm.
She is very slow with her grading and is a tough marker. Her classes are pathetically setup and you have to attend her lectures or you will not know whats going on in the course because no amount of textbook reading or friend's notes can save you.
Fiona really knows what she is talking about. You have to attend class since her explanations are very good and therefore you do not have to rely on textbook. her midterm was very fair and covered all details. Helpful and kind!
Takes a long time to grade things, is slightly condescending in her tone with students who share their opinions, but is overall a fairly good prof
Her lectures are interesting but she is a very hard marker.
VERY tough marker. Did decent on high school essays but she murdered me in this course. Go to lectures/seminars for some participation marks, take advantage of group project to get some easy marks too. Not interesting course material, but she attempts (and fails) to make it semi-exciting.
Her lectures are dry and her assignment instructions are very vague. Monotone voice makes staying away difficult, bring snacks if you get bored easily. However, Fiona is a very supportive prof if you talk to her personally in office hours.
