class is pretty easy however she doesnt attend to peoples different types of learning which is where it is difficult for me, if youre a visual learner this class is not for you. I find her way of teaching very boring. She lectures for a whole hour every single class meeting and also does not use canvas so you cant check your progress.

Way too exhausting and tons of work. The movies that you have to watch every week are insane and hard to understand most of the time. Not to mention usually really outdated. If you don't need the class don't don't bother.

Don't take this class if you don't have to. Prof Nagy is rude, her notes are so tedious. She gives way too much work for a singular class. Has no understanding for students having other classes or a life. Unclear directions, tough grader, snarky. No chance to fix an assignment if you messed up even the smallest detail. Grades like its life or death

don't expect to have a life or to give attention to your other classes if you take this one. This class has like 7 things due in one day. She is pretty rude and unresponsive. Her directions are incredibly unclear, you will not get clarification because she never responds and also you can't make corrections. The questions are also worded horribly

Professor Nagy is by far the worst professor I've had at SCC, condesending, snarky, and inconsiderate. She requires very detailed notes on EVERYTHING and requires students to watch outdated, gruesome, and difficult to understand videos along with some of the longest articles I've had to read for a class. Avoid this class at all costs! It was hell.

So far in this class, you literally have 7 assignments due in one day. at least 9 pages of reading for one assignment and then a minimum 1-hour video and all assignments you have to take notes and submit. And I took this class to learn about witchcraft and magic thus far it's just mythology about different cultures. nothing to do with description

Horrible professor, miserable human being. Nothing about her is pleasant and she always responds in a snarky way. I hope she is relieved of her duties soon, because she is doing no student at SCC a positive by being involved. Nagy ruining the Bears and ruining classrooms.

I knew I was in something for this class when I received a 3.5-5 on a syllabus quiz, yes a syllabus quiz. There is so much to read and most of the stuff she provides to read doesn't ever give a clear answer you're looking for. Be ready to read more than you need to. She grades very harsh so be ready for that if you take the class. Do NOT PICK HER.

Nagy killed my excitement for what should've been a fun class. Quizzes have a 15 min limit for 5 essay q's, she expects u to be able to check ur notes and give well-written answers in that time. Low class avg on all & gives harsh feedback for answering vague questions "wrong." Usually A-B student, dropped bc her methods made getting>C impossible.

Man, Out of the two years I have at SCC, this class was the first, most awful experience I have had. The class itself was interesting and cool to learn. Bethel Nagy however, never seemed to be pleased by anything that was submitted. Constant snarky, arrogant, and unmotivating feedback/comments. Just blatant rude, it almost just felt like a joke.

She is by far the most strict teacher I've had when it comes to grading. Students in my class averaged around a 50% on their assignment submissions. You will have 1 discussion, 1 worksheet, and 1 quiz per week. The questions asked are often confusing due to her choice of words and usage of grammar. She portrays someone who hates her job very well.

Shallow individual, doesn't respect men in the class. Doesn't have any sympathy for those going through family emergencies

The strictest, most unreasonable/unprofessional professor I've ever had. Magic, Witchcraft, and Healing had excessive assignments, harsh grading, and zero support. Despite never failing a class before, I'm now at risk due to unrealistic expectations and a professor who ignores students she doesn't favor.

Let's get started. Evil. Pure Evil. No clear instructions. Just expects you to know ahead of time without any prior knowledge. My first assignment was to turn in a piece of notes. (DISCLAIMER! The assignment did NOT say notes.) Gave me a zero. Also, EXTREMELY Passive Aggressive. You could get a 19/20 on an assignment, but passive aggressive reply.

Passive Aggressive to the max! I had an extra credit assignment, and it was to write a review of a movie. I did just that, but Good Ol' Bethel decides to leave a passive aggressive response. These are her exact words. “Does not fit criteria.” And the cherry on top, DID NOT EVEN GRADE IT! Who knows if she will do that with actual assignments!

Ohhhhhh boy! Do you want a professor who wants you to succeed? A professor to help you pass? A professor who is at their office in their office hours times? Well you're not gonna get that with this one! I tried to meet her during office hours, but she was NEVER there. She “forgot.” Finally I just stopped asking. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!

Well, I thought this website was run by a bunch of Karens who don't put in work. BOY WAS I WRONG! Listen to the reviews on this website! The most strict, passive aggressive, nasty grader ever! Doesn't show up to office hours. Doesn't bother to help. Is the literal definition of Bad Professor. Barely passed. You're better off taking other classes.

Let me just say, I didn't know what I was getting into. And then I looked on this site. Though she'd be good. She was HORRIBLE. Snarky, passive aggressive, no clear instructions. The poster child of bad professors. Never gave help. Finally met her in office hours, nothing but snarkiness. It's like she does it on purpose. You're not gonna pass.

Let's just say if you take this professor, you're in for a HORRIBLE time. Takes her job wayyyyyy to seriously. Snarky. Loves to be passive aggressive. Is the literal bad professor. Lecture heavy, test heavy, no clear instructions, refuses to help. Also, DOES NOT SHOW UP TO HER OFFICE HOURS! EVER! Do not take this professor ever at all!

What do I want other students to know about this professor? What I want to know is how after all these bad reviews she still has a job! If you care about your GPA, DO NOT TAKE ANY OF HER CLASSES! You're better off not running the risk of getting her. I know there are good professors within the department, but this one isn't worth it to get.

Accidentally saw a good review of her. Pretty sure it was a typo. Pretty sure her true rating is 1.5/5. I'd give it negative 5 if possible. Passive aggressive, loves to be cruel in the name of “Upholding The Rules.” Asked for help, never got any. Was told to “Figure it out.” Yeah. Not gonna let anyone have to suffer with this one. This evil person.

Don't even get me started on this professor. Should have seen the other bad reviews. Thought it was a troll, but NOPE. The reviews were 100% correct. You take any of her classes, you're in for a miserable time. The other reviews speak for themselves. Just proving the reviews right. Not a single thing in the bad reviews was wrong or made up.

Let's just get one thing out of the way. Is there someone who you just cannot stand due to their nasty attitude? Because this one has the most nasty unprofessional attitude ever. The ONLY professor I have had numerous and large problems with at Scottsdale Community College. Scottsdale Community College is a great place. Just don't get this one.

This has to be the biggest joke in my life. It was like living in a cartoon. The angry professor who harshly grades. Now I've had professors who harshly grade, but at least they had the courtesy to help me. But this one. Not at all. No help from this one. You will struggle. Just take other classes to get the degree and maintain a GPA.

No clear instructions. Passive aggressive. Snarky. Takes her job too seriously. Unhelpful. Loves to be mean. Hates being helpful. You're better off running to the other professors with homework within the department. She's never there during her Office Hours, but the others are during their Office Hours. She is the WORST professor I've ever had!

The most unhelpful unprofessional passive aggressive snarky person I've met. I've had great experiences at Scottsdale Community College. This one was a HORRIBLE experience. Emphasis on horrible. I had heard her making jokes about her male students and they were quite sexist. Don't really know if I can say them on here, but they weren't funny.

Made a sexist joke about me to my face during office hours. Which by the way never shows up for. So I guess I got lucky. Or did I? Don't know if I should repeat the joke, but I know if I did, there'd be consequences. All about love, but makes sexist jokes. Also passive aggressive. Very egomaniacal to the very maximum. Not a good professor.

Do not take this professor. Caught her saying a sexist joke to a male student. And it didn't sound like a joke. It sounded like deep genuine hatred. I've heard things about her. Was gonna go ask her for help on an assignment, but not after that. Don't know if you want to associate with her at all because of that. The Worst professor ever.

Let's get one thing clear. This professor. I can't believe this one. She is so passive aggressive and unhelpful. Literally ANY other professor in the SB Department is better to have. The others are at least there and love their jobs and helping students and show up to office hours. This one is nowhere to be found. Unhelpful professor.

This professor. Just plain unprofessional. Loves to make passive aggressive remarks. Always late, and has the audacity to be a harsh grader. Whenever we ask for help after class, she's always busy, never at office hours, and when you do meet her in office hours, she tells you to Figure It Out. Just the rudest person I've met.

When I first saw her, I did not know that I was suddenly switched to her class because the other professor got overcrowded. I thought “Maybe this will be fun.” How wrong I was. All those cartoons of horrible college professors who are grumpy. This is the literal one. The poster child of grumpy college professors.

Lets just say, I know you are supposed to put in work. And if you put in enough, you get appreciated. But she does not care at all. Is the literal poster child for worst professor. Could care less about her students. Backhanded compliments, passive aggressive, unclear instruction. Loves to be difficult.

Do not take her. Plain and simple. No help from her. She is the most unprofessional person I've ever met. I don't know who hurt her, or what her issue is, but she needs help. Or maybe she does this for fun. She is literally a horrible professor and person on purpose. She has to be. Your ungrateful boss (If you have one) is more appreciate than her.

Does not care if you miss work. Will literally try to be the reason you can't do school and work. I know there is difficulty with some subjects in school and college, but professors are supposed to help. Literally was falling behind at work because of her. My boss looked her up, and said "Wow. I'm Sorry." At least my boss is sympathetic.

I have heard some things about her. But oh my. She has to be the worst professor I've ever had. I have had difficult professors, but at least they were there to help. Had difficult classes, but the professors gave great feedback and helped. This one doesn't give great feedback. At all. It is horrible. Claims to be all about love, but is hateful.

Let's just say that people suffering is music to her ears. Didn't care about family issues, she said "Well Work Is Work. Deal With It." In the most backhanded way I have ever heard. It was as if she was trying to rub it in. No "I'm sorry" or "Get Well Soon" just mean. I have never had any more hate for a person in my entire life.

Loves to give horrible feedback, never at office hours, unclear direction. It's as if she does this on purpose. I have had difficult professors in the past, but at least they were there to help. This one never helps. Loves to be a critic. Hates to do things. She thinks she is so perfect and amazing but she has got to be the most evil person ever.

Horrible professor. Very strict, unclear, unprofessional. Also saw her in public talking about how great she is, she was being a literal Karen. Grocery store was taking a while, and she starts saying “DO YOU KNOW WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING!?” She takes herself WAY too seriously. Not only unprofessional, also not a good person. Do not giver her money.

Not respectable at all. Demands respect, yet gives none. Loves to be mean. It's literally in her blood. Has posters all over her office saying “It's all about Love” and “Make love not war” yet loves to do the opposite. Bland personality, I don't know who hurt her, but she needs help. Do not take her classes. At all.

Look. I get it. Work is work. And that's life. College is college too. But not according to this woman. Looks like she hates everything. She doesn't want to give help. Clearly has some sort of a mental problem. Makes sexist jokes. Claims to be “All-Loving” but the polar opposite. Sexist, nasty, hates everyone. Do not give this person money.

Very disrespectful towards you if you happen to be religious. Made a joke at me for having faith. There is a phrase in The Bible. And it is this. Do not judge, or you too will be judged. There is another old saying. Treat Others The Way You Want To Be Treated. It is a rule as old as time. She loves being bad.

Extremely unprofessional. Gives harsh, nitpicky feedback and seems to enjoy putting students down. Avoid if you want a respectful or fair classroom experience.

Doesn't respect student concerns. Very unclear in communication, then blames you for not understanding. Cold, rude, and hard to approach.

Office hours? Nonexistent. Promised to help, then ghosted and lied about being busy. Shows no empathy or accountability.

Does not matter what class you have with her. Do not take her. She thrives on negativity. Every comment feels like a personal jab. Completely inconsiderate of injuries, emergencies, or student needs.

Doesn't matter whether you are at Scottsdale Community College or Arizona State University. Misleading and spiteful. Unclear on purpose, then punishes you for it. Acts superior and makes learning harder than it needs to be.

Avoid at all costs. Doesn't care about your success, just about control. Condescending, cruel, and weirdly hostile.

Gives off major bully energy. If you're struggling, she makes it worse. Dismissive, aggressive, and unwilling to help.

She finds ways to twist everything into a problem. Makes the classroom feel unsafe and tense. Terrible for mental health.

Fails to provide clear instructions, then penalizes you for not meeting unclear expectations. Very toxic attitude.

Not only unhelpful — she's actively disrespectful. Sexist, dismissive, and talks down to anyone who doesn't agree with her.

Laughs off serious issues and makes inappropriate comments about faith and gender. Needs accountability.

You're not safe if you're religious, male, or different. She picks favorites and goes after others.

Extremely biased. Pushes her personal beliefs and demeans anyone who disagrees. Totally unprofessional.

Mocks students for their beliefs. Shows a pattern of sexism and hostility. No respect for boundaries or diversity.

Displays clear bias against male students. Talks down to them, dismisses their ideas, and makes sexist remarks. Very uncomfortable.

She checks the website. She saw someone and violated privacy. She tried to use intimidation tactics to stop someone from leaving an honest review. She needs to be looked at.

Tried taking away my laptop for writing an honest review about her. Simply went on to say she doesn't show up to office hours, made a sexist joke about my friend, overall unhelpful. Tried to destroy it too.

Has no respect for confident young women, probably because she has deep rooted childhood issues. If she does, she has NO business being a professor.

Extremely disrespectful toward male students. Makes inappropriate jokes and treats them as less capable. Totally uncalled for.

Sexist toward men. Constantly belittles male students in discussion. Creates an unfair and hostile learning environment.

As a male student, I felt targeted and dismissed. She shows clear favoritism and isn't shy about her bias.

Clearly biased against men. She goes out of her way to embarrass or challenge them. Not a healthy classroom dynamic.

Unprofessional, rude, and biased. Doesn't treat male students with basic respect. Definitely avoid if you're expecting fairness. ALSO DOES NOT MATTER WHAT CLASS! ALSO TARGETS CONFIDENT WOMEN!

Unprofessional, rude, and biased. Targets men and confident women. Makes inappropriate comments on gender and religion. Skips office hours, gives unclear instructions, and blames students. Truly toxic.

One of the worst professors I've had. Sexist toward men, jealous of some women, mocks religion, unclear on purpose, skips office hours, and shows blatant bias. More hostile than helpful.

Not just unprofessional — hostile. Sexist against men, bullies women she seems jealous of, and mocks religion. Avoids office hours and purposely confuses students. Shouldn't be in education. Has serious problems.

Shows open contempt for students. Sexist toward men, targets certain women, makes fun of religion, and ghosts office hours. You'll walk on eggshells every class. Worst experience ever.

Feels like she's fighting her own demons and taking it out on students. Targets men, shames women, ridicules religion, and avoids accountability. Doesn't belong in a classroom.

Not just a bad professor — a hostile presence. Sexist, judgmental, confusing on purpose, and often absent when you need her. A total nightmare for motivated students.

Makes the class all about her power trip. Tears down men, belittles women she envies, and takes jabs at religion. Refuses to clarify instructions. Completely toxic.

If you're looking for a fair, respectful, or helpful professor, look elsewhere. She mocks, targets, and gaslights. Class feels more like survival than learning.

Refuses to help, gets mad when you ask for it, unhelpful, sexist, targets specific women, belittles everyone, makes fun of your religion, and hates everyone.

Doesn't matter what class you have with her. Barely passed because I went to tutors and other professors. Wasn't there for office hours. Also caught her trying to save face. She tried to remove the reviews because she can't handle the truth. It doesn't matter. She needs to be held accountable. She can't ever teach.

As someone who's worked in college administration for years, I've rarely seen a classroom atmosphere this hostile. If I were Dr. Eric Leshinskie, I'd be seriously concerned. Just saying.

I came in really wanting to learn. I've never had a professor make me feel so small for asking questions. I thought I was the problem until I read the other reviews.

She didn't even say my name once all semester. But I saw how she talked to others. Rude. Condescending. She plays favorites and punishes honesty.

I challenged something in class once. She mocked me in front of everyone. It wasn't academic — it was personal. I'm still shaken by it.

I dropped the class to protect my mental health. Felt like walking out of a war zone. And yes, I still got charged for it. Thanks, SCC.

She teaches like someone who hates students. No tough love — actual disdain. If you ask for help, she treats it like a weakness.

If I were the SCC President reading this pile of 1-star reviews, I'd have questions. And a meeting. And possibly a resume on standby.

She made a sexist joke about men and laughed about people's religious beliefs. Completely unprofessional.

I stayed silent all semester because asking questions meant being humiliated. Now I regret not speaking up — I don't want others to deal with this.

Dropped after 3 weeks. Worst decision of my academic career signing up for her class.

Doesn't matter what class. Do not take her.

I've had some strict professors before, but nothing like this. It's not just me either — have you seen all these 1-star reviews? There's no way SCC isn't looking into this by now.

With over 100 awful reviews, you'd think someone higher up would step in. Honestly, I'd be shocked if they haven't already.

This isn't about being “too soft” or “not wanting to be challenged.” This is about a professor who belittles students and creates a toxic classroom. SCC can't ignore this forever.

Suddenly a 5-star review pops up after Over 100 awful ones? That's cute. Guess we're pretending students actually enjoy being talked down to now.

So caught her on the website trying to save face. I know it's her. It's funny how the 5-star review has all the buzzwords admin loves. Almost like it was written for them… not by us.

Caught her trying to save her already not so great reputation by inserting a sad attempt of an honest review of herself. Interesting timing on that glowing review. Almost like someone's trying to drown out the voices of 100+ students who had a very different experience.

Observing the feedback from over 100 students, it's clear this professor has become a liability to student well-being and campus morale. This needs urgent administrative attention.

Every class felt like walking on eggshells. If you weren't already stressed enough, she'd make sure you were. I've never dreaded attending school this much in my life.

This professor doesn't respect her students at all. Constantly cutting people off, mocking their answers, and refusing to explain her own unclear assignments.

Tough love? No. Just tough. If you like being insulted and left in the dark about expectations, this is your class.

If you care about your GPA, your mental health, or your time, avoid this class at all costs. You'll thank yourself later.

If you care about your GPA, your mental health, your sanity, your well being, or your time, or want to be able to transfer to a good university, or get a master's, or a PhD, or go anywhere in life, avoid any classes that she teaches at all costs. You'll thank yourself later.

I rarely post on these sites, but this experience was too bad not to. This professor actively discourages students and makes learning miserable.

I've reviewed hundreds of faculty performance records in my time at SCC. I've never seen this level of sustained, detailed negative feedback. If I were in charge, this would demand immediate attention.

This class destroyed my GPA and my confidence. I worked hard, but nothing was ever good enough for her.

I kept my head down all semester and still got targeted. Her attitude towards students is unprofessional and hostile.

Not sure how she's still allowed to teach. This was the worst experience I've had at SCC. Stay far away.

Class was a nightmare. Constant negativity, poor communication, and zero support. You leave feeling defeated.

She teaches like she hates students. That's it.

It's exhausting trying to learn from someone who clearly doesn't care about students. Her feedback isn't helpful—it's cruel.

This class gave me more anxiety than all my others combined. I can't believe SCC lets this continue.

I thought bad professors were just a meme until I took this class. Now I get it.

It's not about one assignment or one grade. It's about a toxic environment that leaves students feeling defeated.

Her reputation isn't bad for no reason. Believe the reviews.

Hands down the worst professor I've ever had. I left every class angry and defeated. Avoid her like the plague.

She doesn't just grade tough—she destroys confidence and humiliates students. It's cruel and uncalled for.

This isn't teaching. It's abuse of power disguised as education. SCC should be ashamed.

Mean. Unclear. Unhelpful. Unprofessional. No redeeming qualities.

She teaches like she's trying to get fired.
