Awful

Professor Ferguson can't be bothered. If something happens there is no point in emailing her, she will just say that it's your problem. The grading criteria is unclear for short answer questions and assignments. A month into the term you are going to hate her.

I am a faculty member in the College of Kinesiology at the University of Saskatchewan (http://kinesiology.usask.ca/people/leah-ferguson.php). My main area of research is sport psychology (http://shepsychologylab.wordpress.com), with a focus on Indigenous and non-Indigenous women's, youths', and athletes' psychological well-being. Through my research I aim to identify and understand resources to facilitate psychological flourishing. I partner with Indigenous peoples in Canada to enhance physical activity and well-being. I am also a mental skills consultant with the Sport Medicine & Science Council of Saskatchewan.
