求助: 急 有谁知道 esl209的这个老师 怎么样? ALLAN DAVIS 是杀手么

kILLER能有机会避一下得好。我的一个朋友一年前在LAURA的班里，全班期末最高分B一个，B-两个, 他是入学英语考试450+4的学生，平时学得也不错，期末得了一个C. 另几个Killer我听说b以上的学生也是很少（一个班通常少于5个），对研究生来说（至少B以上合格）简直是灾难。其他nice的老师相对较公平，不是很变态。

另外，Barbara Barckley不是killer,我上过他的课，不错。虽然给分一般。

Professor Tim.Dougherty will be an instructor in this summer in Esl209 CF and CG. Who knows or know this guy is nice or not? Is he a killer?

期末考试不归授课老师改，我上过她得课，人nice，但是给分不高。如果你事先说好你是研究生，她一般是能放就放了。

Tatlow 不只是little weird，简直是变态。
可能没有老师的作业比他多，而且一次作文至少要有3个draft才能交给他。
给分一点也不好，能拿B以上的不多，C，D的一堆一堆。他才不管什么研究生要B呢。

It is the departments that insist on B for graduate
students, not the Department of Education, in which I teach.

这是他的原话。

我刚上过Lauar Cowan 的课，她的课很好，能学很多东西，她是个非常不错的老师。好像是有点tough, 给分比较紧，但还算客观。

Usually, you can learn a lot from killer's course, such as Mark Lee and Laura. It is true. But, we want to graduate on time, and don't want to take the ESL course again and again, right? Except you are sure you are top 2 or at least top 5 students in their classes---If it is true, getting a good TOEFL (>240/590) score is much better and more practical choice than spending hundreds bucks and precious time on ESL courses before you apply Concordia, except for some departments don't recognize your TOEFL score.

So I said, it is better to aviod taking those killer's course, even you may drop it if you still have serval terms to go. Why not? waste time and money on those killers? What you get is much less than what you lose. (all the score records, no matter what you take in Concordia, will be printed on your transcript, and will follow you forever).
   
   Preparing new TOEFL,  IELTS or the essay test part you can learn more.
  
By the way, some killers maybe change after they gain more and more tecahing experience at Concordia. But when they change? be better or worse? who knows!
  
  Be smart, guys.

同意同意, 不过好像这边老师也听爽的基本没有下岗一说吧. 一个个都嚣张的要死.
