She is very cool and nice. I took every child development class possible with her.
The way she teaches is interesting and funny. She is very clear about what she expects from you in your work. The class was very easy and interesting.
Awesome teacher. I really enjoyed her class, I would deffinately recommend taking classes with her. She deffinately loves teaching. Shows great knowledge of the subject matter. Best teacher ever.
Awesome teacher. I really enjoyed her class, I would deffinately recommend taking classes with her. She deffinately loves teaching. Shows great knowledge of the subject matter. Best teacher ever.
She is always late, rude to the guest speakers, and lets the people that kisses her butt pass the class. She did not show up for class for a week because she had to "Drop her World" You know more about your class mates than you know more about the class. I still don't know anything waste of time
she did not want to be there did not read from the book I did not learn a thing and she took a week off with no notice to "drop her world" she does not want to be there in class rude to guest speakers and does not want to take the time to get to know your name or the class
Townes is the greatest. One of the nicest, sweetest, funnest teacher anybody will ever have. She makes her class very easy, it is almost impossible to fail her class.
She helped me a lot
she was fun, exciting, and easy id recomend her to anyone
The class is interesting, but you must be a self motivater because the teacher doesn't even respond to direct email questions pertaining to assignments! Loved the class, not crazy about the teacher.
MRS. TOWNS IS OFF THE CHAIN. SHE KEEPS EVERYTHING WELL AND SHE IS FUN AND SHE ALSO KNOW HOW TO MAKE YOU LEARN A SUBJECT AND STUFF AND KEEPS YOUR NOODLE GOING!!!!
Love her! she is understanding and funny. In her class i actually learn something. I RECOMMEND HER!
Love her! She is the best child development teacher at BC. She really makes you excited about the field. I would also recommend her to anyone.
Towns is funny and is a good teacher. she's not too tough just show up and go over ur book once in a while. highly recommended.
I've had this professor for B21 and B42, both online. She clearly states what she wants done in her syllubus at the beginning of the course. She allows you to work ahead, which can help with a busy schedule. The tests are easy. She answers emails promptly. I will take her again if given the opportunity.
I HAD MRS. TOWNS FOR AN ONLINE CLASS. SHE IS A REALLY GOOD TEACHER. CLASS WORK IS REALLY EASY, SHE IS UNDERSTANDING THAT SOMETIMES WORK IS TURNED IN LATE. I THINK MRS. TOWN'S DOES HER JOB GREAT WITH EDUCATING OTHERS. I PLAN ON TAKING MORE OF HER CLASSES
I took two online clases and ended up droping them. She is extremly unorganized and I had no idea what was going on. Horrible teacher.
Shes sweet. I realy liked her. Great personality! You have to go to class!!! Quiz every few days on chapter. Tests were easy. You have to do a resourse binder at the end, but its easy just time consuming. As long as you read the chapters and go to class the class is pretty easy.
I have so much to say about Professor Towns! Shes is such a great teacher! You learn so much in her class & she relates to her students. She is so nice and sweet. I took one Child development class because it was required & after taking her class I changed my major to child development. She makes it sound so intressting and fun.I reccoment her!
This was by far the nicest lady I have ever met.I took this class hybrid and we met twice a month. Dr. Towns made sure we all knew what we were suppose to be doing. I couldn't have passed the class without her guidance. Great Professor and I recommend taking her classes.
She is a wonderful teacher.Make sure you do every assignment on your observations.try to hit all developmental stages while observing if possible, it helps tons for the case study project at the end. Do your work and attend class get to know her.She is amazing and will help you understand what she wants as well as the field.
Dr. Towns is great. She is very easy going but serious about the subject. She gives opportunity for extra credit and will work with you. Take her classes! you will not regret it.
dr. towns was a great teacher make sure you use the book her test are from the author so she does not make them she is fun and helps you alt the group projects are alot of fun helps you get to know eachother she will answer any question make sure you participate in the group talks
SUPER EASY A in multiple classes
Very easy teacher!!! I took her CHDV B21 class online and passed with an A! I recommend her!!
The is the Best teacher in CHDV!!! I took the observations class with her and she explain how everything was supposed to be. I loved going to her class. She is so nice(: I recommend her class is easy and Fun!!
SHE IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!! TAKE HER CLASSES FOR YOUR CHDV UNITS!
Seriously she's the easiest professor I've ever had!!! If you need some easy online classes, just take her. I had 100% in her class without studying too much lol.
Dr. Towns is a great professor. She is so funny and sweet. She is also very helpful and makes you learn in a fun way. I definently recommend her, as far as the book you do need it to study for quizzes. Her final is take home which makes it a lot easier. It is not hard to receive an A. You'll love her!
Definitely the worst online professor I've had so far. She didn't grade anything until the class was almost finished, forgot to post instructions for assignments, and refused to grade three of my assignments, even though I turned them in on time, which lowered my grade. Her email responses to my questions were short and confusing. Not worth it.
The whole course set up was confusing. I emailed her with a question and she responded "did you read the page?" Uh, yeah... that's what my question was about. Despite this, I got a 99% in the class. I don't even think she read anything we turned in, just gave a completion grade.
Great teacher! Easy class, and very clear instruction. If you are looking for a teacher for Child Dev. look no further because you found the BOMB!
Great class, fairly easy, however there are projects assigned so be ready to do those. There is also a twelve page research paper, have fun! I recommend taking this class with Towns online.
EASY. The 12 page paper is broken up into 4 segments so you submit 3 pages every few weeks. The quizzes and discussions are really simple as well. I would definitely recommend taking this class!
I saw a lot of great reviews about this Professor, but they are like years old. Im going to let you know, she gives quizzes every week and they are extremely difficult. She doesn't make these quizzes its from the author. You have to read the book In order to pass this class. A lot of group projects. Not specific on what she wants.
Love this class! she is super funny and willing to hear you out. Be prepared to read and get tested every week! You will need to take the book with you every time you show up to her class but other than that she's awesome.
Not entirely clear in her instructions. She will respond to your emails, but I suggest calling during office hours. You must do experiments with children in different stages of development and find your own subjects. 12 page paper is easy, but time consuming. You must read the book.
excellent teacher
you will need the book so make sure to get it. you have to show up to class there will be quizzes every week some easy some hard but other wise her class is an easy A (:
Is an easy class and every interesting. You have a 12 page essay,but you turn the pages in parts. You have four parts of child development which you have to experiments on a child.
Dr. Towns is such a fantastic person! work wise there is stuff to to do in her class such as projects like presentations but they are a piece of cake! Quizzes we are able to use notes, and her lectures are sooo... inspirational. Also you do have a 12 page paper due but its cut into 3 parts so its easy to do! and NO final
Professor Towns is an amazing professor. I took her online. She has something due each week and you can even get ahead if you want. I am taking 2 online classes with her. CHDV b21 I have a 97 % and CHDV b32 I have a 88% . She responses to all her emails. and is very helpful.
This class was a walk in the park. If you are looking for an easy A this is it. I didn't do the final paper and I still passed with an A. Weekly quizzes that are super easy. 4 child experiments that take very little effort. Would recommend if you are simply looking to fulfill requirements, or for fun.
Love Professor Towns, very clear directions, easy work, easy A. I took this class over summer school and it was super easy. finished the class in about 3 weeks. One big assignment, the rest are end of the chapter questions. This class is a must take for summer school!
Super cool and understanding Professor! Class consists of quizzes and group projects. She gives amazing lectures and attendance is required! So if you dont like group projects then this isnt the class for you but shes definitely the best totally recommend this class!
Theres four group projects but super easy. She gives amazing/inspirational lectures. I learned so much. Some quizzes are difficult but you get to use notes. Theres no final! There is a 12 page research paper but its not difficult! So much better than taking a final!
Took her chdv b49 online and it was such an easy online class. She responds to emails promptly and does not overwhelm students with a lot of work.
I took Dr. Town's class online, and she is such a great professor. She gives feedback on your assignments and comments, and she gives all the assignments up front on CANVAS, so you can access all of them without any surprises. She looks for well thought out responses/comments, but she is a very nice person. The quizzes and experiments are easy.
Would not take another class with this professor. Barely gives any feedback.
This was a really easy class do not buy the book because it was totally useless. Have to do weekly journals, but she doesn't really grade them they were basically just a formality. really easy
for me, it's hard to say whether she's a good professor or not, because your best bet is to take her class online. The book isn't necessary, and she puts all the work on CANVAS at the beginning of the semester, so you can start working immediately without any surprises. You can finish the whole class in a week if you really wanted to.
Love Dr. Towns!!! My favorite professor at BC, she's such a caring person. She teaches so many important lessons that will be needed, if you are becoming a teacher. Super easy, couple two page papers due during the semester, easy grader.
I really recommend this course !!!! She is very comprehending and well answer any question you may have ahead of time before submitting your work. Not only that but her class is very easy you just need to be on track with your assignments overall she is a very cool professor.
Shes an awesome Professor, I have taken two courses with her and I love her lectures. Participation does matter but promise you will not fall asleep in class. Take notes, be on time, study, and you will not have an issue. As for the online class, yes the book is needed and all you have to do is stay on top of your work and you will do just fine.
Professor is very understanding, energetic, and seriously knows her stuff. Best professor I have had in my 4 years of being in college. Would definitely recommend to people. If you read, ask questions, and participate in class, you will get an A in the course. Take her if you are interested in education.
I took two courses in the same semester with Dr. Towns! Honestly it was the easier two courses ever. I learned so much in her lectures in CHDV B21 attendance and participation is needed for that class. But I took EDUC B24 online and all the work in given ahead of time and its all do able be on top of the work and youll get an A
Dr. Towns is the best professor that i have had, she is different than any other child development professors. She is very caring for her students. takes time to know each and every on of her students. she actually teaches you about the topic and isn't about just the book. makes you do a few project but they are very easy and fun.
Dr. Towns gives you all the assignments upfront, so you will not be blind to what is expected. Follow her guidelines, and you will pass her class. She gives good feedback, and she gives extra credit. If you're on an Education pathway, I recommend taking Dr. Towns' class because she offers a lot of help, and she is an expert in Education.
This class was great and Professor Towns is amazing! Grading is just online quizzes, 4 easy journals, and a presentation. If you don't get an A in this class, drop out of college cause this class was so easy!
Decent professor, responds to discussion in a single email addressed to everyone at the beginning. You need to do 4 experiments for each age group so if you do not have access to them it can be tough. Also you need to do a power point. Discussions are worth more than quizzes. Easy class if you do your work.
Her classes are very easy, i have taken her a few times and have done well in all of them. I learned alot in her classes, plus they are fun and enjoyable. The homework is manageable and gives just the right amount of it.
Easiest class ever. I didnt even need to read, cause the quizzes were easy. The class was very interesting though and the experiments were cool. She is a nice professor and makes the class easy for you.
I took her online 8-weeks summer class and it was an easy A! 3 chapters questions a week and a video discussion. 2 projects, no tests. Turn in your work on time and you will get an A.
She's a cool cat for the most part. She brings good energy and is open to her students. The only cons are: reading a chapter for homework each week + weekly quizes. Group projects are common so get ready. She tells a lot of stories and gives good examples as well as feedback.
This is my second time taking a class with Professor Towns. Her class is easy as long as you keep up with the weekly assignments. At the end of each chapter you need to answers a few questions and do weekly discussions with the class. Easy PowerPoint presentation required. She responds fairly quickly to emails and she works with you if needed.
I have taken her other classes before, this one had the most work to do and more papers to do as well. She is very kind and gives plenty of time to finish, I do not remember having to take any tests
She had a great personality, I looked forward to her class every morning. All quizzes and final is online and you are able to use the book for everything which was great. She has a lot of stories that really show that she is passionate about her work and she understands the information shes giving, from personal experience and from the book.
I took this class online in the fall there are discussions every week but very Informative and interesting , one huge Portfolio due thats worth 100 points so dont slack on that ! Other then that pretty easy interesting class.
Probably the sweetest professor I have ever encountered. She cares so much about all of her students and is very understanding if you talk with her one on one. The work isnt overwhelming but you still learn. Lectures didnt feel like lectures because she was so funny and asked questions about our lives to connect things to. Take her class!
I took two other classes this summer and i hardly worried about this one. no textbook she provides all the reading materials. had three big projects, Interview, resource booklet, and portfolio assignment, everything else was discussions, quizzes for each module with only 4 questions each. very easy A guys truly! im taking her again!
Very easy online class. A book was not required as she provided the reading materials. Quizzes were very easy. Would recommend her online class.
Love Dr. Towns, shes clear, funny and makes learning fun. She provides her textbook for this course via word doc.
Shes nice and knows what shes doing. She doesnt record zoom meetings so youll have to take notes or have a good memory. After a while we had class once a week because zoom had problems so it got a little frustrating but it was fine. Work with classmates or attend office hours if you need help.
seemed like an easy class. There are multiple experiments that are graded hard. assignments were not explain thoroughly. Office hrs minimal and when communication over canvas Was horrible. I received very short answers and was made to feel like my questions were stupid. upside- text book was provided.
She is impossible to talk to. If you stay after class to ask her questions she seems bothered. She never answers your emails or messages through canvas. She does not give clear instructions on her projects or she will say one thing and instructions will say another. Take someone else.
Very simple and easy class to get an A, if you need clear lectures I wouldn't choose Dr. Towns since most of the classwork is based on lots of reading so that requires a lot of self discipline. However the assignments are very easy and very clear to understand and its very hard to NOT pass.
She a great teacher and I learned a lot In her class definitely recommend her.
The assignments were easy but the professors grammar needs work. She also is impossible to get ahold of, so not the most personable professor out there. I would recommend if you want an easy class without much stimulation, but if you're looking for a class that keeps you engaged I would not take this professor again.
Her class was very easy. Two big projects, but not too bad. Definitely learned a lot. VERY ORGANIZED!!
There is a ton of reading every week but she does discuss it in class. There are a lot of assignments but as long as you try and are gaining the concept. You'll be okay. Attendance is mandatory but she made every class fun.
If you have questions about projects, forget about emailing her. Since the beginning of the semester she's been impossible to get a hold of. I sent her several emails and within the last few months, there has been no reply, not one. I agree with another comment on here that her grammar is also horrible and she's terrible at explaining assignments.
I absolutely loved her. Hope I can take more classes with her. Tests were easy and I could focus on comprehension of subjects and experiments. Loved loved loved her personality and office hours.
Her class was pretty easy. I took this class Spring 2021 online flexible. We had weekly readings, discussions or quizzes or even both. It was light work. Her finals were a little challenging, but its doable. I highly recommend Dr. Towns!
I enjoyed being in this class and the professor was great. Overall, this class was easy and amazing.
She is a wonderful Professor I took her in person class last semester, and it was great! I decided to try her online course just because I needed something more flexible this semester and it was great as well; she is very understanding and isn't a hard grader. Do all of your assignments and you will do great!
So far have passed all her classes with an A . She gives great material course work! Ive learned so much from her. If you need help she has one on one zoom meetings or you can email her! Her big projects or finals depending on the class are graded harder than others so go step by step on the rubric as long as you go by the rubric youll be fine.
She is AWESOME! I recommend taking her class in person! Best teacher Ive had at BC.
I have taken three classes with Dr. Towns; she has been great for all of them. I saw other reviews commenting on her grammar, and I believe she is more laid back than other professors. She isn't strict with her grading and is very flexible with assignments. She still has a passion for teaching and makes that evident in her class.
Doctor Towns is great! I would recommend anyone to take her classes. I have taken three types with her so far, and both classes were great.
great professor
Amazing
I would not recommend this teacher. Horrible grammar and does not reply to emails throughout the whole semester. Very unclear instructions and does not clarify on anything so you are left wondering what she wants. She is also a very tough grader. If this is the last option for a teacher, wait for the next semester.
This teacher didn't like me at all, she told me my assignments weren't good enough for her but other students work was good for her. don't take her
Dr. Towns was a great professor. She explained all the assignments very clearly. She is a tough grader (in a good way). A lot of writing and hands-on but that's expected for this class. There were some issues on my end for a couple of the assignments assigned but it was out of my hands and not her fault. Overall highly recommended. Good luck!
Very unclear instructions on very important assignment and does not clarify on anything so you are left wondering what she wants. when you email her to ask for help she either tell you to check the assignment again or waits til it's almost due to respond to you. Oh and she takes forever to grade the assignments at the end of the semester!
I took her online class and she is very nice. She is a bit of a tough grader but for the most part her class is not difficult and she gives great lectures. Her instructions are very self explanatory and there is not excessive reading that needs to be done in her class. I would recommend this class and this teacher to others !
She was a very kind professor. Her assignments were not hard, and the instructions were clear. Her classes do require a lot of attention, she does a lot of engaging activities, but she always offers extra credit. Her lectures were always interesting, and she always made sure her class understood a concept before moving on.
This teacher was amazing! Definitely one of my favorites, I would 1000% recommend you take her class. It's really easy to pass and she offers lot of extra credit.
Shes a very nice teacher and its actually interesting listening to her lectures. Its a lot of participating so I'm shy and wouldn't take her again but besides that she's a great teacher.
Dr. Towns' lectures were extremely interesting and engaging. A lot of class participation and partner work, but she made them all fun to participate in. She gave chances for extra credit every class. One large project - 10-15 min. presentation. Such an amazing professor and would take her again if I had the chance.
Professor Towns is a laid-back and flexible instructor. While the class has some difficulty, her passion for teaching shines through. I found Unstuckstudy and the free textbook helpful for preparing for exams. Would recommend taking her class.
Not very understanding of life changing circumstances. Reached out and she gave me a super hard time. Don't take her class if you want to be belittled by her.
In an online setting, it is extremely important to communicate thoroughly-- rest assured this professor will not do so. The class is fairly easy, but extremely confusing due to poor instruction and unclear emails that don't exceed 5 words. Should you take this class? To quote the longest email I received from her, "no".
I took Dr. Towns' course during the summer, so I couldn't see how she lectures. She's not a hard grader, and she gives extra credit. You have one project to do; the rest is discussions and quizzes. She gives you the textbook chapters. If you have taken a child development class before, this course will review what you've already learned.
