Awesome. Best professor on campus. Poignant, precise, personable.

she is extremely smart and engaging. the class is really interesting but not too hard.

This professor kicks ass. You can learn quite a lot and she opens you up to new views of the world. You will learn a lot of new information but assuming you show up to class ask questions and do the homework you will find her exams are not too difficult

This professor is one of the best @ Sac City. She was not too difficult, but you will also learn a lot in this class. All of our exams were take home, and they did require a lot of effort. But it was good, because you are learning at the same time. Her lectures were very intruiging. A+ for Beth.

this is a great teacher. she is very intelligent and extremely knowledgable when it comes to her subject. and she is easy on the eyes!

Great analytical and teaching skills. Will help you to understand even the most difficult topics easily and willing to assist you in any way you need to learn.

I really liked her as a person. The class was easy but boring at times. She really raised my awareness about different issues and I felt like I learned a lot.

her class is VERY analytical and involves a lot of critical thinking.u can get lost and confused because there are SO MANY theories but she tries to explain them as basic as she can.she lectures a lot so her class is (unfortunately) boring.she picks on u if u look like yr asleep or bored.

fairly easy teacher, leans to the left and lets you know it but open for discussion.

She is great! I had no interest in subject but she made it interesting. It is not an easy class but if u read & study it can be done. Take home test, but req'd effort. Very nice & approachable. Would highly suggest her. I passed with A's. Just pay attention and come to class. Subject matter can be boring but she pulls you in.

I really enjoyed this class. She does as much as she can to clarify any unclear subjects or aspect of the lessons. She makes the class fun by showing videos/movies that relate to the class. Take her if youre taking 300, a good teacher to start off the subject.

The class was different then I expected but Forrester herself is really nice. She is clear, understandable, approachable, and very helpful. She is a pretty easy grader too. Do all the homework and you're fine.

I enjoyed this class very much. Very difficult material, but the prof. will help you anyway she can. Get ready for class discussions and always do your homework!Be prepared to be randomly picked on for answers to Q! Great Proffesor!!

She is a grewat teacher with a lot of interesting opinions. The homework was easy and you got full points as long as you did it. Doing the homework is the important part. The tests were take home for the most part and fairly straightforward. I really enjoyed the class and ended up with an A.

If you pay attention and ask questions you will do fine. I got a B. Awesome Proffessor.

she is awesome. i would not chose any other teacher! i love her. she makes things very understandable and she knows how to hold a student's interest in the subjects that are discussed in her lectures. A+

great teacher!! she keeps everybody involved with the class, shes not too strick about attendence, shes fun to talk to, makes things very clear. her homework/exams are really just to make sure your paying attention and that your doing your job as a studen

She is passionate about the subjects, a great prof. Her homework and exams are set up to help you understand the topics better. She will help you develop critical thinking skills and doubt of everything that you thought you were sure of. An easy A if you turn in the tasks.

Exceptional professor, she really cares about her students. I took her class one semester and i barely talked,yet when i took another class w/her she surprisingly remembered my name, unlike the other 90% of professors. She prepares her lessons very well and will not leave you hanging, tries her best to make sure everyone understands. Highly rec!

She's very educated in the subject and extremely helpful. There's homework but it's to help you prepare for the exams, which are take home. However, the exams are essay format so a lot of writing. But if you pay attention to leactures and do reading students will pass the class.

I love Forrester. Her teaching style really makes you think and questions ur beliefs. Homework assignments are easy and I dont think she grades them,just get points for turning them in. She doesnt usually announce when she is gonna hand them out so you need good attendance. Exams are take home and pretty easy if you showed up for lectures!

VERY nice lady! She's passionate about philosophy and really makes her classes think. Very approachable and will always clarify or review if you're confused. Tests are take home and easy if you took good notes. Show up to class so you get the homework. A great prof for Intro to Philosophy!

great, passionate professor! i have never taken a class that has influenced me so much!

Very intense woman, but very insightful. Forces you to get involved in class discussion and can often put you on the spot, but she is a good teacher and is very passionate about the subject.

BEST TEACHER I'VE TAKEN AT CITY! Very helpful, and approachable. Knows what she is talking about. I HIGHLY recommend Professor Forrester if you need to take a Philosophy class. You won't be disappointed.

Beth Forrester is a jewel! She is a very caring person and her class is great. I love particularly how she can present fairly controversial subjects in a very objective manner. This is not easy to do. Her passion and zest for teaching shows.

she does not require you to be in class. all the tests are take home. i never baught any of the books and missed a lot of class and still got an a. the hw is important that you do, especially because it is so easy. sheis very passionate and a bit scattered. i still learned a bunch, just lost interest in the second half of semester.

Engages the class in discussions, provides help and support, willing to work with you if you're having problems, passionate about what she teaches, loves to see you use critical thinking skills (even if you don't agree with her particular position). Bottom line: She's a really great teacher; absolutely one of the best I've ever had.

Very kind, knowledgeable woman. However, she has a tendency to rant about her political views without presenting both sides of the story. If you don't agree with her it can be quite uncomfortable.

Mrs. Forrester is the best proffessor/teacher ive ever hed the privelidge of having, ive taken three of her phil classes, she is incredibaly intellegent, open minded, easy going, and fun. She has taught me a whole new thought process. She does not use the text much, dont ahve to take notes, I go to UCD, and still wish i could be in class once more.

Take this class with her! Forrester, easy to understand and a very debatable atmosphere with your colleagues it was fun and you get take home test!!! You gotta try to fail! Just do the assignments...

The sweetest teacher in the world! Everyone should take her. she knows her ethics. Very approachable. She cares about her students and her topic! I repeat TAKE HER!

Ms. Forrester is by far the loveliest teacher I have ever had. And her tests are so simple and straightforward, you either are a retard or incredibly lazy not to get an A on each one. She can get angry at late comers, but that is fine, because for such an easy course the least you can do is show up on time! TAKE FORRESTER. She is an amazing woman!!

most caring teacher ever. just do her asssignments and you will pass

Beth is a really fine person and genuinely cares and adjusts her course to speed up/slow down depending on the students as a whole. She is very REAL. This is my easiest course this semester because she keeps the workload real (and I learn more that way). I genuinely appreciate and admire her. Philosophy can be tough but she helps a great deal.

She is definately passionate about philosophy and simply inspirational. What a great class, her lectures are relevant and interesting. All of her tests are take home and you can drop one of them, seriously if you can't pass this class it's your fault not hers.

Quite possibly one of the best teachers i've had at scc. She is very easy to understand, but if you don't get something she will go over it until you do. She is very helpful and will ask you if her teaching style is beneficial to you. The homework assignments are worthwhile and easy to do. THE TESTS ARE TAKE HOME!

She oe of the best teachers I've had. She is extremely passionate about her field and provides a clear understanging of the subject. She is always willing to challenge the norm and think outside the box. She is not bias if you dont agree with her opinion, and she encourgaes everyone to speak their mind. I recommend her to all my friends.

I had no interest in philosophy and still kind of don't but Forrester makes it tolerable. She tries to impose her veganism on the class but she's so awesome I really didn't mind. She's very clear. Tests are take home but they still aren't easy - you have to know the material. Don't miss class or you'll be confused. Final is optional.

This class is hard. i was totally lost cause i never took phil before.the readings are hard and the question sets are time consuming. if you are looking to take this class for honors, i feel there are easier ones out there. but shes really nice. forrester really cares about her students, she does her best to make sure you understand the materials.

She is a wonderful person and a great teacher. This is not an easy class though, you may think that you can just show up and slack off and still do well because it's an intro to Phil. class, and that's just not true. She is fair and understanding so don't be afraid to speak up in class, but don't be closed minded.

She explains everything clearly multiple times and encourages questions and discussion. As long as you do the reading and take notes in class the tests will be super easy. All the HW and Tests sound like: What is _ theory? How does _ theory apply to this case? What is your opinion? Easy!

She is an absolute sweetheart and she goes over all of the material for the tests numerous times to make sure you get it. All of the tests were written and take home so make sure you take decent notes. You don't need to buy the books because you'll only use them for a few homework assignments so you can just use the books on the Reserve.

This class was hard for me. I had no interest in Phil. and still don't. There was 2 scantron in class test and 1 take home question test. Final exam is optional. Test weren't easy but I got threw it. Lots of in class group work. She is very helpful and knowledgeable. A voice recorder that i used basically helped a lot in this class.

She is a great teacher. She knows what she is talking about. pay attention and you'll do fine.

She is a great teacher, you will have to do your reading and take notes, but she makes the subject interesting, applicable, it sure made me thinking!

Probably the best professor at City. Would recommend her to anyone even those with no int rest in Philosophy. Going to take her Honors class next semester too :]

Very understanding and helpful if you you're unclear. The only problem is that she is somewhat biased, but not so much that it'll effect your grade.

great professor great class somewhat hard but very good course to be taken by her

Beth is by far the best Philosophy teacher I have taken at SCC. She is very helpful and only requires you to take 3 out of 4 tests depending on how you're doing in the class. I enjoyed her lectures very much and her grading style was very fair. She also gets the class extremely involved during class discussions. Highly recommended!

Prof. Forrest is the best of the best.I recomend to take her class, believe this you will be so happy of meet her .as you know she is a Dr. smart person with a good heart.She is doing a great job. God save her for long time ,so many students can have a big opportunity with her to learn.

The assignments were very reasonable. Lectures were interesting sometimes and the lowest test score is dropped at the end of class. I had a fun learning about famous philosophers in her class. The best PHIL 300 you can ever take at SCC!

TAKE THIS PROFESSOR, shes awesome, shes an interesting teacher, extremely nice, class is challenging but totally do-able. As long as you do the assignments you get full credit for them. Great professor, nice to everyone.

One of my all time fav. prof. Such an extremely bright and sophisticated woman. She has really changed my out look on life. Class is easy if you pay attention, & if you don't get something, JUST ASK! Work is graded on effort & thought rather than correct answers. Try and you'll get an A.. AND SPEAK UP IN CLASS! She was an enjoyment

VERY UNDERSTANDING!anyone who hates her has serious problems,she is NOT pushing you into doing something you dont want to do,dont believe whats written below negatively about her.she let my wife stay in that class with me because i had a problem earlier in the semester and even let me take a week break.D on first test but A in the class.TAKE HER!

Clear, fair, understanding, funny, interesting, approachable, laid back, friendly, there are some many good adjectives about Professor Forrester. Pay attention to class and participate. She likes students to be involved in class discussion. Made philosophy a good experience. Drops the lowest score. Take her !

Prof. Forrester is one of the sweetest teachers on campus. She is completely understanding and willing to help with anything. Her student's success is more important than anything to her. 3 tests, lowest dropped. About 12 hmwks, 2 dropped. Fair grader. Lectures very clearly. Simply a great teacher and an awesome person.

this class is semi-hard. It can become very confusing with the materials. She tries her hardest to help the student understand the topic. There is no extra credit. 3 tests, 1 final, 12 hw assignments, and i believe that is all. Pay attention, or you could get lost. The text is used most of the time, to do hw assignments.

Great professor/person. Assignments are reasonable and lowest test score is dropped. I learned a lot just from the discussions in class, she also encourages you to talk about current events. 10 hw, one project, and 3 exams with minimal reading. Really willing to work with you. GREAT PROFESSOR

12 hw assignments and 3 tests. No extra credit. Read the book and you must attend class or you'll be lost. You can not get by in this class without the books. Would take her again. She really wants you to understand it and will spend extra time explaining to the class if needed.

LOVE HER! She is amazing! She is so nice&so caring! She makes learning so much fun&super interesting. She is also extremely easy while still teaching you so much. Barely any h.w or tests. Only 3 tests, you only have to do 2 and they're super easy! I RECOMMEND HER FOR SURE! She's extremely intelligent you get so much great information from her!

As mentioned below, Beth is one of the most compassionate and understanding professors you will ever encounter, be it at SCC or any other institution. She genuinely cares about her students and wants them to succeed. Her lectures are engaging, enlightening, and provide the opportunity to question and critique. Take her class, any class.

She is absolutely wonderful! The books are interesting, the class is interesting and it helps you think about everyday life and helps you understand people and their situations. I honestly dont think anybody could have been a better professor. She was my best teacher this semester

She really wants you to succeed. Participation is in discussion is expected, so if you're quiet she will try to get you out of your bubble. Tests are not too bad if you study.

Prof. Forrester is one of the most intelligent women on the planet! She makes philosophy relevant and gets the students involved. I highly recommend her!

You can use old editions of the book. Very informative class. She's educated on a wide range of subjects.

OMG!! She is absolutely brilliant. Beth is hands down my favorite professor, if i could have her for every philosophy class i would. Show up and do the work, if u have a question ask. She is understanding and caring but not a pushover. love her

I did NOT like this class at all. Shes kind of all over the place. She is a vegan and tries forcefully to push it on the students.We had a huge assignment in the middle of the semester about animal abuse and health that had nothing to do with the class. Shes very nice and sweet, very helpful also. But I dreaded going to class.

FANTASTIC teacher. Uses topics pertaining to animal rights and food production to illustrate various philosophical views on ethics. Truly caring teacher who really wants her students to gain new perspectives and hone their critical thinking skills. Take her class, you'll learn a lot!

Take this class!! Beth is an amazing professor, very inspiring and intelligent woman. She really knows her stuff when it comes to philosophy, and she wants every student to succeed.

I thought this class would not be interesting, but I was wrong. She's very nice and helpful. She drops two lowest HW grades of 8 HW assignments. Drops lowest test grade of 3 tests. 300 points total for HW, 300 points total for tests, 150 points total for presentation/short paper.

Best teacher ever!

Forrester is a great professor, but her ethics class is very easy. Lectures are clear and she is very understanding. She can go off on tangents sometimes (I personally don't mind because most of the time it's interesting information). Anyway, I recommend taking her.

Beth is wonderful! She makes me wish I could change my major to philosophy. Really great, warm-hearted woman who cares very deeply about the success of her students.

I've taken all three of the classes that she's taught, simply because she's teaching them (Philosophy is not my major) She's an intelligent woman. Always up for a discussion, and more than willing to help.

Beth is such a sweet and knowledgeable lady. She cares a whole lot about her subject and has a genuine interest in her students understanding the material and succeeding. She does everything she can to help you earn a passing grade. She drops the lowest test score, lowest two classwork assignments, and encourages you to attend her office hours.

Beth is an amazing professor, very passionate and well-spoken. She expresses her personal opinions a lot but she is extremely intelligent and articulate so her outlook rings true for most people. Overall the class is easy and pleasant. The readings are interesting and the quizzes are painless. Keep an open mind because she has good information.

Beth is awesome! Phil 320 is a great class to expand and open your thinking skills. She is sweet and cares for her students. Class consists of 6 exams and drops one of them, 8 assignemts drops 2, and five easy 1-page summaries on a book. at the end. Overall she's amazing and if you work hatd you'll earn an A

Very clear about what she expects and makes philosophy as painless as possible. She is a little preachy about some of her beliefs, but it's probably more of a way to start a discussion than anything. Show up, participate in discussions, read the assigned pages, do the homework and get an A.

I took Forrester in Philosophy 306, Environmental Ethics. It was truly an awesome class! I think the world would be a little better off if more people took this class and got involved with important issues. Also, Forrester is a very nice and wise person. TAKE THIS CLASS!

Forrester is a great Philosophy teacher. She is very passionate about her teaching. In all her classes she drops your lowest test score and two homework's. She does not take late work but if you meet with her at office hours, she may open the opportunity as she did for me. I enjoyed her class :)

take her. just do the paper that she assigns from book and you'll pass.

Professor Forrester is an amazing Philosophy teacher and I would highly recommend taking her classes. She is passionate, considerate, and exceptionally intelligent. She grades fairly and works with you to pass with an A! Open your mind and put in the effort. It's easy and interesting work! She is one of those people you never forget :)

I really liked this class because I learned a lot. As long as you show up and do your homework assignments, anyone should easily be able to pass this class. Some people are against how Dr. Forrester constantly speaks about her liberal views, but I, a Republican, looked past that. This class even convinced me to go vegan (hopefully it lasts!).

Truly, truly an amazing professor. Probably my favorite professor I have ever had. You learn so much and she teaches in a way that is very easy to understand. She really wants her students to succeed and creates important class discussions that need to be had. I always looked forward to going to class. She's very intelligent. Easy A. Take her!!

Honestly, she is one of the BEST professors out there! She only gives around 4 tests and 8 homework assignments (she drops 2). Easy A! You do have to read the books that she assigns but they are easy to understand. I wish I can take another class that she teaches. She is passionate and intelligent, as well as sweet. TAKE HER!

She often calls people randomly during lectures, so be ready to answer you can prepare by doing your homework assignments and reading. She only requires 8/10 hw assignments, so do the first 8 and get it over with. Tests are usually mixed results some people get 100% and some people fail them. 5 essays on EA (Q & A format is acceptable).
