Catherine Ellis

She's a tough grader which would be fine if she provided detail during her lectures. She just stands there speaking slowly and reading off the slides - I learned way more reading the textbook. Skip her class.

Super engaging lectures, super personable aswell. Really appreciate how she goes out of her way to memorize everyone's names in order to address them when they ask questions during class. Get ready to read and put in the work though, definitely not an easy lower or upper level liberal. Still highly recommend though!

Dr. Ellis is an amazing prof. She is a tough grader, but she is eager provide feedback to help you improve your own work and become a better student in the process, especially during office hours. Her lectures are fascinating, with her love for the material shining though. Developing critical reading skills is necessary for her courses.

As other people have said this course has a lot of required reading, especially for a first year course, however I found the material to be very interesting and worth the investment. She's very passionate about the subject matter she teaches and the course taught me about some interesting things in history I may have never investigated otherwise.

Course name has nothing to do with contents of course. Lectures are extremely boring and often repetitive. Marking isn't too difficult but many many readings needed to keep up for tutorials and exams. Overall a very dull professor; does a poor job of making history interesting and the guest speaker was more interactive than her.

Never again in my life, She only caters her class to first years making it extremely boreing and hard to foucs. She is hard to follow when she lecutres. Her assignments are pointless and she deducts so many marks for small things. Just dont do it do not do it. You can tollerate it if you are a first year but if you are not DO NOT DO IT!

don't do it gang. especially if you think it's a bird course bc it's NOT. get ready to read bc the midterm has literally everything to do with knowing little details from the readings. you should def attend lectures, there's no info on the slides. bro is a hard marker too, especially w grammatical errors so if ur bad w that then ur done.

The hardest course I had to take despite it being a first year introductory course. Insane amount of readings and assessments, but she gave accommodations if you needed it. Attendance isnt mandatory, but you should go if you want a passing grade as she does not put all info on lecture slides. The TA Dave was the absolute best though

this course was hard for an first year intro course, lots of reading, homework, the midterm and final test was asking for way too much for first year students. she was pretty nice and gave extra time if you ask for it. go to class there isnt any stuff on the lecture slides.

While the title is Ten Days that Shook The World it IS MISLEADING. She doesn't talk about global events that shaped history. The title is pretty much a way to draw in students, as the topic matter is about the history of children. She is a tough marker, and involves a lot of reading. Despite being a lower level course, it is more like an upper one.
