Super condescending. It’s almost like he’s trying to flex his knowledge on you and make you feel bad and stupid. My group did well in this course and he actually liked our stuff, that’s just a testament to how much of an attitude check he needs. One of the worst TAs I’ve ever had. Thinks he’s above everyone.Super condescending. It’s almost like he’s trying to flex his knowledge on you and make you feel bad and stupid.

It feels like she doesn't actually read the responses on the lab reports, as she will claim something is missing from the response when what is "missing" is the first thing on the answer. It also seems like she doesn't think through the responses as she will grade you verbatim to the answer key instead of trying to use reasoning. For example, I could say a sugar free grape jelly product can be sold safely via canning, but she would say heat treating it isn't a valid method of preserving sugar free grape jelly when it clearly is because the answer key was wrong. She should be able to sense that the answer key is questionable and go to the prof to confirm that the answer on the key is actually correct. Literally every assignment she graded off me had multiple errors that made absolutely no sense. Made me lose motivation in the course since I would have to constantly double check course content to make sure I'm not crazy, then find time to go over it with the prof.

I saw ewok at a grocery store in Guelph yesterday. I told her how cool it was to meet her in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother her and ask her for photos or anything. She said, β€œOh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was β€œHuh?” but she kept cutting me off and going β€œhuh? huh? huh?” and closing her hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard her chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw her trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in her hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like β€œM’am, you need to pay for those first.” At first she kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, she stopped her and told her to scan them each individually β€œto prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, she kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

She seemed to have an absolute admiration to the professor, while been very boring in the tutorial. often times you can barely hear her voice cause she's always "tired", according to her own words. She graded participation harshly, even if you raise your hand and answer more than 3-4 questions through out the whole tutorial she would still give you a 75-90. Very hard to earn her participation grades. I emailed her one time, the response from her was basically "answer more questions". She doesn't give thoughtful discussion questions for us to talk about, often just grab a concept from the reading and ask us what does that mean. Overall, very terrible ta.

Very unhelpful. Copied and pasted the same feedback for each assignment. Does not explain why I received a poor mark, or what I could fix in the future, but instead just gives me a poor mark. Very unhelpful and clearly just lazy in her marking. Seems like she did not even read my paper, and instead just gave out a random mark with random feedback. Very, very poor TA.

I cannot recommend Elliot enough! They went above and beyond to ensure the entire class felt supported and understood the material. Their explanations were always clear, concise, and tailored to different learning styles, which made even the most complex topics seem manageable.

What really stood out was their dedication. Whether it was hosting extra office hours, responding promptly to questions over email, or providing detailed feedback on assignments, Elliot truly cared about our success.

Their passion for the subject was contagious, and their ability to break down complicated concepts made learning genuinely enjoyable. They also fostered an inclusive and encouraging classroom environment, making it a safe space for everyone to ask questions and participate.

If you have the opportunity to take a course with Elliot, consider yourself luckyβ€”you’ll be in great hands!

Gabriel has added nothing to my life. It is his first year being a TA, and this is extremely obvious. In actual tutorials, he was timid and barely able to get through the slideshow, and in email and through his marking he was quite harsh. His instructions were extremely unclear, and he would constantly mark us down on things we "should have known" that were not specified in the assignment information. Bad at teaching, bad at answering questions, bad at marking = bad TA. Please pick any other TA if you are taking this course.

Really REALLY good TA for the DGDs! Stayed after class to explain concepts and watched and asked if people needed a bit longer to take photos after every solution! (The prof didn't let her post solutions online, and she asked to see if this could be changed for us)

opposite of how a ta is supposed to be. Will make you fail the course, absolutely does not care about the students, and expects work to be done at a graduate level. Is also rude when you ask about your grade. Turned a simple course into an impossible one. Most ridiculous TA experience I've ever had.

AVOID SHARON HENRY! Sharon Henry had the potential of being an amazing T.A. Although she had great potential, she has a very odd way in how she treats her students. She has a distasteful attitude and does not help her students learn or develop. Sharon has been caught being discouraging during tutorials causing many students to be afraid of speaking out. Sharon shows blatantly who she really likes within her tutorial classes. Sharon is not flexible and does not care about students who are in binding circumstances. Sharon has laughed in my face when I answered a question; belittling me which made me question myself as a student. She is not encouraging and is very harsh in her interactions with students. Sharon purposefully gave my classmate a failing grade--all of my classmates believes it was because it Sharon had some odd dislike towards the person. My friend had to reach out to the professor to review her work. The professor for HREQ 1800 reviewed my classmates assignments and gave her a B+ in the course.

Gives the worst grades because you spent too much time on "outside" viewpoints for a critique paper. Doesn't say anything about how to improve. Takes way too long to grade while you spot him multiple times around campus playing spike ball. Cares about whether you capitalize after a colon/semicolon/dash.
