Maria Ionita

Super nice and appreciates authentic work effort. HW needs to be submitted before every lecture (for marks). Midterm, exam and research essay are closed reading essays. Feedback is to the point so you can easily improve if you did poorly on either 3. Marking scheme is well distributed so an A is not difficult to achieve. Readings are relevant!

Professor Ionita is a lovely person, gives good feedback, and provides clear criteria for grading, which makes it very unfortunate that her lectures are brutally boring and lack substance. Realistically, I could have skipped every one of her classes and seen no change in my grade while having to slog through markedly less tedium.

Her lectures are really boring and hard to keep up with because she speaks with low clarity. The course wasn't too hard overall.

Lectures felt like torture bc of the topics, but she's a nice prof. Asked for an extension with ACR and she immediately gave me a week. For coursework, as long as you keep up with homework, do what the instructions say and follow her feedback, it's very possible to get a good grade!

This course is manageable if you keep up with homework and follow the professor's instructions. Lectures felt less engaging for me due to the material, not the teaching. Attendance wasn't required for my learning since all materials were posted. Midterm and final were essay-based. Consistent work makes passing achievable.

Was clear on what she expected in her rubrics & the attendance mark was just homework you handed in before class. Always gave feedback on them and offered extra credit through them. Textbook was useful for some aspects and she provided it for free. Only got a lower grade because I procrastinated heavily on an assignment. Overall a great professor.

She's really helpful, really wants everybody to succeed. she's a really kind professor. always gave good feedback. also if you email her your assignment and ask if there was anything wrong with it and she tells you and you fix it, easy 100%. her exams are really easy.

This professor grades extremely harshly and the exams are unnecessarily difficult. Extra credit is offered but doesn't actually help your grade. No second chances are given. The lectures are boring and hard to sit through, especially with such an early class time. The professor is not supportive when students ask for help. Not a good experience.

Gives clear rubrics and is a fast reader when you need help during office hours. Attending classes wasn't entirely mandatory, however they can give a bit of a grade boost since it helps with your understanding of the material.

I loved her class, she is good prof and would def take another class with her. She gives good feedback and helps you a lot, reading isn't heavy.
