She is a great instructor. She has a lot of experience and is uses relateable material to teach her course. I'm actually taking her for 2 courses and both are extremely intersting. She doesn't grade hard, just fair. A lot of group work and a decent amount of book work.

Super nice, is always willing to help with any school problems as well as fashion problems.Does not only use book she uses a variety of ways to teach material such as: movies(documentaries, clips, music vids), group work, essays, presentations and powerpoints. Always doing something different which is fun.

I love this prof!

Extremely nice and very supportive.

Loved her! She is so helpful and nice, she knows a lot about every subject, SHe really enjoys showing videos and hands on projects. If you are shy do not take her she enjoys a lot of discussions and give participation points. Overall pretty easy, but such a genuine person. You will learn so much from her!

Good prof., a bit too easy to say the truth.. Maybe because she is nice, it makes me forget that she's supposed to be challenging and helps us stretch out brain out. Wish she could be less nice and more challenge oriented. Especially since we pay so much for our tuition.

This prof was good. She comes off nice, but once you get exams back you realize she isn't as nice as she is when she lectures. She has a lot of experience making class interesting. But make sure to read the chapters!!!

She is a great professor. Her class is always interesting because she uses a variety of teaching methods such as lecture, videos, and group work. She wants her students to pass her class. You won't regret taking her!

She is a great professor. I love taking her classes. she helps her students pass her class. she knows how hard school can be. you wont regret taking her.

She is a great teacher. She is always available when you need her. She can be lenient since she knows that there are a lot of other things going on

Professor Benveniste is amazing! Her classes are always interesting & she really helps people overcome their fear of presenting and speaking in front of class. She always makes time for her students even if it means she has to stay late. Make sure you keep up with all the reading & attend class she deducts points every time you miss.

THE BEST Sociology professor out there. She is very nice and easy to talk to. Always willing to help and cares for her students. If I could take her class agin, I would. Very motivational and gives inspirational talks from time to times, constantly reminding us to work hard.

This prof really is THE BEST like people say! Although, she is extremely intimidating at first, because you can tell she is one of those superwomen who do and know everything, she really is there for the students personally and professionally. This class was more like a law class and was sometimes boring topic, she is honestly like Elle Woods!!!

Good teacher for the first time having her. She seems very busy. I would suggest students to know college more before taking her, sometimes its confusing and advanced and she just kind of expects you to know what to do instead of explaining how to do it. So expect to be a self-learner or make an appointment months in advance!!!

A lot of assignments! Especially for a general requirement class, it seems excessive. She has long exams on top of it. I enjoy her lectures, but she makes you do group work which I don't enjoy and she has unrealistic expectations that students can do everything, because she does. She always looks amazing, and inspires, but won't have time for you!

This class takes a lot of extra time in your schedule outside of homework. She challenges the way you think and inspires you to care for people in poverty which I like. She really does care for her students like her own, but doesn't really have the availability that I would like. She is a great teacher for Soc students, I am not sure about others..

This prof is THE BEST! I have discussed with other classmates who are seniors, we all know we would not have made it through college without Benveniste. She dedicates her life as a professor. Students actually look forward to seeing her in class, and listening to her lectures. Ignore petty reviews of girls that fail her class, they are just bitter!

She is amazing! I did not think mediation and negotiation would be interesting, but this professor always makes her lectures amazing. Adding information, inspiration and a lot of development for women. You learn so many more things than just the text. I always try to fit this prof. in my classes even if it's a night class because she is so worth it

Great professor! She was so good I changed my major to sociology!

Great prof! Really motivates you to be a better person, and go for your dreams. Her work is a lot and busy, but it really does help you learn to do it all. I always tell people to take benveniste if they want to enjoy learning to be successful and learn sociology in a awesome way! And i am not even a soc major! Wish she was a nursing prof too!!

She's an amazing prof. But if you don't like group work or presenting in class then don't take her. She likes to challenge students which is good but also difficult your first semester. Geeat lectures but exams are tough and long too many terms and concepts to remember.

This professor was really amazing. She made me want to go into social work. She walks in the class not only gorgeous but with a lot of passion that is contagious. If youre are interested in gerontology or sociology she's a great teacher to take.

She takes the time to help you time manage her course work. She does assign projects and papers. If you take time from your schedule to ask for help she will set time for you. She is busy but if you need that time with her I suggest to look for her because that time she spends with you is very helpful. She is also a good person to talk to if needed

She is absolutely an amazing professor. I would recommend to take her, she is very clear and made my first semester of college a lot more clearer. She guides you at the beginning of the course so when you do it on your own you know what to expect!

Her marriage and family class was my favorite class in college yet. So insightful about human sexuality and relationships. She is not only gorgeous but so smart, she is a great professor to take for this class. Even though it was only an elective for me, she made me choose my minor in sociology and human rights! awesome awesome awesome prof!!!

Great professor, this class made me change my major to Medical sociology and now I am excited about my future. She provided us with so many network opportunities and really made a great ending to my first year in college experience!

This professor changed the way I view the world. She showed really great documentaries and compared to other professors really cares about the students. I recommend her if you have a sociology course to take she is amazing!!!

What a great professor passionate about social work and social justice. The only issue was she is very busy and has little extra time for you. But if you make time for an appointment in advance it is so worth it! She helps you and your parents understand the field especially if you change your major.

The only challenge was group projects in this class. It was difficult and the multiple choice on her exams were really hard. Besides that it's a great course and a hard subject to like because caring about the elderly is a challenge. But after this course I have much more respect for the elderly and prof Benveniste. She is really amazing!

What an amazing professor!!! She is brilliant and gorgeous and cares. Her marriage and family class was the best class I have ever taken in college. I just wish I was a Soc major.

Awesome professor! I changed my major to sociology because of her. If you are a freshman you have to take her!

Because of Prod. Ben I am going to get my masters at USC! She is the best professor to prepare you as a future woman of success. A group of us who just graduated just Talked about how we would have dropped out of it wasn't for her believing in us. She is very busy but very special.

She is really amazing like everyone says. Her lectures are insightful and you can tell she is so passionate. Her exam questions are hard so just make sure to study!

Awesome professor!

Her soc1 course is the best! She's so passionate and smart.

I am going to USC Masters program this coming fall because of this professor. I came from poverty, violence and immigrated from from Mexico. This prof. is a light on this campus, she gave me hope when no other prof would. It is rare for someone to encourage and love every student, but she does. I feel lucky to have met such an amazing human being!!

Great prof!

Took her for mandatory intro to SOciology. Great professor for nursing majors!

Seriously smartest and prettiest professor ever! Take her!

There are a couple group projects based on just teaching terms, one paper, and weekly discussion posts. The paper is based on service hours you are required to do. Other than that, theres a midterm and a final on vocabulary. As long as you do the work and study the terms you'll get a good grade!

Good class. The volunteer work and hours can get difficult on top of everything but it's a good learning experience.

The service learning project does makes it harder than other classes. It was a great class and learning experience but if you can't do volunteer hours outside of classes or don't do well on multiple choice it will be hard. And attendance counts! She's great though very smart social worker.

She is one of the best professors at this school. One thing I love is she is always so positive and kind on top of being very smart and pretty. If you want to go to USC make sure to get to know her!!

She is one of the best professors at this school. One thing I love is she is always so positive and kind on top of being very smart and pretty.

Her marriage and family class was my favorite by far. she made us learn so much in such a short time for school and our personal lives. I definitely recommend her marriage and family class to nursing majors.

Her exams make or break your grade! If you're not good at exams take another class. Otherwise good lectures.

Must take for freshman students. Must take her soc01 class!

Amazing, chill class

She is super nice. Caring about her students, but bad with replying to emails even though it is urgent. Your grade basically depends on your exams.

Really knowledgeable in the material for multicultural health class. Just a busy professor and you have to schedule an appt. to get quality time. Im applying to USC Social work masters program because of her, so she is worth all the hard exams.

Just got back from mlk walk with this prof! She is really inspirational. There is a lot of work for this course but the other events we attend and the volunteering part is actually great. Better than expected.

Cool class. Recommend for intro to soc for non Sociology majors because she applies it to all majors and makes it more interesting.

Prof. Benveniste made this class something we all looked forward to. She wanted to make sure we learned certain things and she made it so interesting. Not jus the lecture but the way she talks to us and other students, even the difficult one, she made us feel so inspired. I almost failed her class she worked hard to make sure I would pass her class

Awesome prof.

I LOVE Professor Benveniste. Very clear about everything and very understanding. She knows what college students go through so she tries to work around anyone's struggles. I looked forward to going to class. She will let you know what you will be tested on so show up to class as much as possible.

Professor Benveniste helped us raised funds for undocumented students so they could buy textbooks and taught us how to fundraise which was something we learned outside of class. She will teach you how to be a successful social worker and college student. Shes really busy but I always tell students to take her shes the best!

The introduction to Soc has a lot of work on top of mandatory volunteer hours. I love this teacher, shes so inspiring but volunteering was a lot for me! Although you learn a lot.

Great social work class. She demonstrates what a perfect professor is, super pretty, we all love her. Shes intimidating at first but once you talk to her in her office hours shes really helpful. She helps write letters of recommendation for graduate school which is good.

Good professor

Shes an inspiration to all of us girls on campus. I was just explaining to a csj that if it wasn't for benveniste taking the time to help and guide me through family and financial issues I wouldnt be making it through college. Not only is she making people care and learn about social work she is being a social worker for us too :)

I had her for her online sociology class which wasn't bad at all, but it did require a lot of work. She was very clear on what she wanted from us as an online class. She is also very understanding once you make it clear to her what you are asking from her. I would totally take another class with her. Would recommend to any person.

Her online course had a lot of assignments. She responded fairly fast, and gave good feedback. The topics were interesting, just would have liked more opportunity to raise my grade.

Our class went online in the middle of the semester because of covid and she was still one of the most passionate professor Ive ever had. This was our thesis class and although it was extremely hard it was a good kind of hard because of her detailed feedback.

Great psychology in foster care class. She is very passionate about foster care.

Professor Benveniste is one of the most engaging and invested professors I have ever had. She has incredible teaching ethic and is very present with the class.

Dr. Benveniste was absolutely amazing, I loved this play therapy course. I learned so much and im considering changing my major due to what I learned in her course.

Great intro to psych class. There was a lot of work but she made zoom class something we look forward to each week.

Had benveniste for social psychology and practicum. Both courses were really amazing. She has great guest speakers and really works with you to help you on assignments. Even during a pandemic it was really good.

Just finished positive psych with this professor. Anytime I get the chance to take her I do. She also keeps in touch and encourages us to further our education no matter what. Even during covid she helps me to believe in myself and to not give up.

Good intro to psychology course. The quizzes and tests are challenging but as long as you show up to review sessions you should be fine.

The guest speakers in crisis intervention were really great.

A lot of difficult exams. It was hard during covid to focus. I wish there were more paper assignments.

This was a difficult semester for me to do on zoom during covid. I love this professor, had her before. But not being in person and having to learn over zoom was really difficult. Hoping they offer in person next year.

This class was really hard. I just met with the professor and I feel much better. She will take the time to go over your specific needs if you email and ask her or ask during class. Even though zoom was hard she worked through my learning and I really like that about her cause this was a hard subject and no other professor did that for me.

I loved this class. We did some visual imagery exercise with art and she tried to incorporate as much as she could virtually. I am definitely changing my major to psychology because of her after this semester.

Dr. Benveniste spent an extra hour on zoom after class to help me when I didnt understand a concept about memory. No other prof has helped me or took the time like she did. She is very busy but if you email her she will take the time with you but you have to ask. You just have to email and she always makes time.

Her exams definitely were hard but I loved this class. Professor Benveniste was an amazing professor who encouraged her students to strive for their best. She is probably one of my only professors that I felt comfortable talking to and would not be afraid to ask for help. Her assignments were always fun and interesting.

The professor was absolutely amazing

Dr. B is definitely passionate about psychology, teaching, and most importantly helping other students. I appreciated how she would always check in to see how we were getting the information and if we ever needed help she would zoom with us.

She's the most passionate and understanding professor Ive ever had. She truly cares about her students. Every lecture was so enjoyable and the class was about actually learning things not just getting a good grade. She really helped us understand what we wanna do with a degree in psychology. Highly recommend!

She will respond to your emails as soon as possible. She was very caring and would check in with how you are doing mid-semester and towards finals via discussion posts (since it was online). Overall, she was very fair and kind! Not gonna lie, I didn't even know I needed a textbook throughout the course but I still managed an A.

Great Professor. She was very thorough with her assignments. I enjoyed the topics she discussed, very big on social justice. The most difficult part was the exams.

Exams were the most difficult part of this course. However, she is a great lecturer. I enjoy taking her classes every time.

I enjoyed this professor's guest speakers and different formats of lecture she provides. She is engaging and will definitely take another class with her!

Professor Benveniste was a great instructor and was clear on what was expected in our work.

Good class. I enjoyed her activities and assignments. She taught in a way that made us want to come to class and learn.

I enjoyed her class, we had a discussion post we had every week, it was kinda a big part of our grade. She doesn't take late assignments but if you explain to her that you need extra time before shell give it to you. She's likes to hear about personal experiences from everyone. If you don't like to participate I wouldn't recommend.

Dr. Benveniste is a really caring and kind professor. The material in the class was a little bit difficult, but when Dr. Benveniste explained it, it was a lot easier to understand. I would recommend taking her classes if you can because she is a truly amazing professor.

Actually had her for psy127, she always offers herself as a resource and actually checks in with her students. She is absolutely one of the best professors the mount has to offer! Textbook is provided! :)

Dr. Benveniste is an amazing professor who really cares about her students. The class is challenging, but her engaging lectures and willingness to help make it worth it. unstuckstudy was super helpful for study prep too.

She is such an amazing professor, definitely one that I'll always remember. She is very caring and passionate while teaching. I felt very heard, understood, and safe in her classroom and would definitely recommend taking her class!

I loved Dr. Benveniste! Her class consisted of half lecture, half class activity. She is so understanding when it comes to grades. I got a bad score on one of her quizzes, and she offered an extra credit opportunity. She did weekly discussions and exams once in a while. I would definitely take her again; she wants the best for her students!

I LOVE Dr. B! She genuinely cares for her students! I like her teaching style; she usually does half lecture, half group discussion. She is an easy grader and always gives super positive feedback. She grades extremely quickly and responds to emails fast. Would recommend her for any PSY classes!
