Fair, constructive, and always motivating. Excellent tutor for Foun1014. She knows what she is doing and is definitely NOT the type who wants students to fail. Just follow her advice, do the work and you'll be fine. Plus her office hours are really good and she doesn't make you feel dumb for not knowing
I highly suggest any upcoming FOUN 1014 to choose her as your lecturer. She is the head of the FOUN 1014 courses and really knows the content inside out.
An excellent lecturer. She taught me FOUN 1014 (Critical Reading and Writing in Science and Technology and Medical Sciences). Very passionate about teaching and is always on point.
