Prob my fave course, so interesting and her lectures are great! However, she did mark harshly on the paper. Otherwise, tests were fair if you read textbook + lecture audios. If the content is boring to you, then I can understanding disliking this course bc it is a lot of work and reading lol

She did want us to learn from the audio on the slides, but she explained the most complicated ones in class and gave you a foundation. Her midterms were difficult, but this is a difficult course, and details matter. She was fair, and if you studied hard, you did good. 10/10 would take again.

- grading style ruined my experience - midterms weren't easy despite all q's being multiple choice - took over a month to mark 300-word paper, got low mark in the process(wasn't even that deep what more detail can you put into it) - overall experience: horrible , definitely don't recommend taking this course with her

Her lectures were interesting and informative for n the few slides she covered. You have to learn the rest from her audio recordings, textbook, and scientific papers. She wants us to explain hard concepts to the general public in simple terms for both assignments. This is a biology course, not a communications course. Harsh marking.

Mid. Expects you to go to class, learn material not covered in class by listening to audio on slides, expects you to read to textbook, and to read the primary papers. She is a tough marker on assignments and releases marks months later. Tests were multiple choice and weren't impossibly hard, can get 90+ if you spend a lot of time studying.

Overall, I liked her.lectures. If you attend the lecture and listen to audios, you will do great on test. My complaint is that she marked written assignment very harshly, and took so long to release the marks for it.

she doesn't teach at all. she took almost 2 months to release marks for a 350 word assignment and marked them really harshly. her tests are also very difficult for the quality of her lectures. avoid if u can

This prof was kind but did not teach. Though this class was very content-heavy, she only went over 2 or 3 slides from her long slide decks and expected you to teach yourself the rest of the material. She had audio on each of her slides which didn't really help. The two midterms were all MC and very difficult. Read the textbook or you won't pass, GL

TIME WASTER. why tf does she put audios in her slides and expect you to read the text book instead of teaching I will never know. GL getting marks back from her bc she apparently needs a millennium to give you feedback on a 350 word summary. her MCQ are acc wild like the way she words them is insane. this course wouldve been nice if she could teach

Dr. Agard explains things well and she is really nice. Her midterms in my opinion were unfair and worded really weirdly. Also, she posts audios for each slide,because she only focuses on a couple slides in class, also wants you to read the textbook. There are practice questions which are good, but overall the class is really time consuming.
