Kamla Kerry-Ann Reid

anonymous

She is utterly disrespectful to students, she has no patience which is a required asset for a teacher. She constantly raises her voice at students whenever her HIGH expectations aren't met. She constantly makes her students answer questions and when nobody is able to answer the question she lashes out at her students for not knowing about a topic she hasn't taught before. She does not help students during tests and scolds you for not understanding a certain topic she taught. She is disrespectful not only to her students but to her colleagues as well with the way she communicates with them. Even if you make the smallest mistake in class she would use you as an example of what not to do and embarrass you in front of the class. She constantly expects the students to read the textbook daily and wants students to self teach rather than her teaching. If you had the misfortune of disagreeing with her about an answer or opinion, even in the kindest way, she would take it as you being disrespectful and scream at you. Her style of communication is horrible, she is never clear with instructions about labs or assessments and will lash out at anyone who asks for clarification. She constantly belittles students to feed her big and fragile ego. She is not a good teacher and has no business teaching, she has no patients, no respect, and no ambition when it comes to teaching.

Dr. Reid is undeniably unqualified to be a teacher, both as an educator and as a person. Rather than creating an environment where students feel supported and encouraged, she constantly seeks pity, making statements like, "Teachers have feelings too" and "I am only human," yet never fails to belittle and berate her students any chance she gets. Her lack of clear guidance on assessments and projects leaves the class confused, and when we inevitably struggle, she yells rather than providing guidance. She has a particular disdain for students who take summer courses, claiming they aren’t learning anything, but ironically, those students probably get a better education in summer or night school than we do in her class. To her credit, Dr. Reid is undeniably knowledgeable in her field, but that knowledge is buried under her inability to effectively teach it. Half of her lectures are spent yelling at students, and her classroom environment fosters fear rather than open dialogue. No one feels comfortable speaking up or asking questions because of the oppressive atmosphere she creates. If you thought the other reviews were exaggerated, they are not. If you have her as a teacher, the only advice I have for you is to try to fall under the category of the few students she clearly favourites.
