She is a very fun teacher to have. Her is class is pretty easy if you study for her test.
She is a pretty god instuctor, all her test questions come from her notes, so no need to purchase the book - that's a good thing. The class is rather boring though!
Excellent teacher. Stark has a real passion for humanities and it comes across in her teaching.
Very knowledgeable. Great teacher. Highly Recommended!
Not too bad. Enjoyed the class; she likes teaching and you can tell.
She's awesome, but be ready for a shock the first time you see her.
Very passionate, very knowledgable!! Great Class!
Great teacher, she really knows her stuff. Very helpful and she is always available to ask questions via e-mail. She also offers extra credit on every test.
Awesome teacher - knowledgeable, friendly, very interesting, fun and just a little bit kooky. Tests are very reasonable and she gives plenty of guidance for the research paper. I highly recommend taking her class.
Great teacher. Easy test from lectures and always extra credit. Very nice personality, never offensive. Great atmosphere. Taken twice, hoping for a third.
MS.STARKS IS ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS THAT ST. PETE COLLEGE HAS TO OFFER IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A HUMANITIES CLASS I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND MS. STARKS. I HAD NO INTEREST IN ART AT ALL BUT NOW I'M INTERESTED IN SEEING ALL OF THE ART IN EUROPE. SHE IS A GREAT TEACHER.
Excellent Professor!! Indeed one of the SMARTEST, FRIENDLIEST AND REASONABLE that SPC has to offer. You learn alot and have clear instruction on how to recieve an A. Excellent review before tests and excellent chance to learn about all the wacky religions of the world.
One of SPC's finest. I would eagerly take any subject she would teach. SUPERB!!!
brilliant and very approachable...I'm waiting to take humanities with her this summer..do the work and get an "A"
She rocks.
This is one of the best classes I have ever had in my whole life. I've learned so much and Ms. Stark is the best. She's made it fun and interesting. I am right now trying to convice the school to allow her to have more of these classes.
dropped the class. Ghost hunting is not for me. she is not open minded about others religions
she is great
Ms. Stark is a great teacher. She displays no preferences in regards to the religions she teaches. She makes an interesting class a lot of fun. A lot of writing, but the topics hold your interest. Highly recommend this class. She is the best!
prof stark is a wonderful person and teasher ahe is easy and i recomend her to any one that wants to learn about religions i just wish she was teaching ancient greek myhtology
I missed one of her test and had to do makeup. Very fun class, I made a B.
An awesome Prof. One of SPC's finest. She has great notes and a great sense of humor. Class will never be boring. Also she has a great personality.
Ms. Stark tells the most interesting stories about all different religions and really tries to make the class as fun as possible.
She is the funnest teacher I have ever had! She has easy notes, brings in neat props, has a great personality (and hair! LoL), and she doesn't have a bias against any of the religions she teaches. She is extremely passionate about what she teaches. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!
prof stark is a wonderful teacher besides the pugs and ghost hunts she is a great teacher and i enjoyed her class both of them
Fun and very helpful. She loves her job and that makes her class worth taking. You learn alot and see different aspects to what you think you know about. I wish she taught more religion classes.
I love ms stark, if i could reccomend anyone it would be her. i didnt think religion would be interesting but she makes it easy to understand. Alot of notes to write but shes very fun and has a great sense of humor, she likes to put religion into her stories so its better to understand.
Prof Stark is very knowledgeable instructor; however, a piece of advice, do yourself a favor.. don’t take her for an Eight Week class..
do not take the 8 week express course, she blazes through the information and the tests are very hard(due to the fact that her study guides have no information that pertains to the tests). i would not recommend this class to anyone.
Took Summer Course. Extremely knowledgable instructor. Very impressed with her grasp of history. Granted the tests are a little tricky...you can make up for it with extra credit. Very fair and interesting teacher.
Interesting, knowledegable, totally unique. I think her study guides are absolutely what's on the test. Fun little spins on assignments.
She is great! Who said that Hum had to be boring! You learn a lot! If you listen to her in class you will do great! Def would take her over and over again! Fun class! GREAT Teacher!
Prof. Stark is one of my favorite professors. She completely reviews the material and knows her stuff. There is always lots of extra credit incase you flub a test. I am taking her for the 3rd time this semester.
She put an interesting twist on the material, her version was entertaining, and gave me an vivid understanding of Westeren Humanities
I wanted to take a biblical class forever but was veary weary of one way devotion. I wanted to be able to get into debates and change the why I think. Brandy makes it feel like you're hanging out at a coffee shop talking religion with her as the ultimate knowledge. She's fun, brilliant, and wants everyone to get an A.
The only female I know who can rock the boy george haircut. Stark is kick ass.
She is a great professor with a great teaching method. The only downfall is the study guides may be trick and worded funny than the actual questions, but if you show up for class there is no need for a guide. She covers all the material in and out, over and over, I highly recommend Prof Stark! She is just a fun overall person.
Ms. Stark is great! You can tell she loves what she does when you sit in her class. I took her for world religions and in the beginning I was a little weirded out but overall the class was great!! Love her teaching style and relaxed personality.
I love Brandy Starks' classes. I have taken all of the classes she offers and loved all of them. She is a wonderful teacher and really takes time out for all of the students. Personally she is just interesting to listen to.
She is a great teacher, I took her for Hum I. It was an eight week course. The material we went over was fun and iteresting. She is an awesome teacher the only semi negative thing I can say is that sometimes shes late for class. Do the work, pay attention and take notes... You will get an A
I LOVE HER! She is such an amazing teacher and person. She really knows her stuff! I took her for a 6 week express class for Humanities 1, and am currently in the 6 week express class for HUM 2. I also am signed up for her online world religions.She is SO helpful,makes things fun, and likes to crack jokes! I recommend her for everything!
I took her online religions class... Great Teacher! Loved her class, and hope to take her for Hum as well!!!
I took her class online for East/West Hum. Most assignments we're very simple, it seemed like as long as you did your work you would get full credit. The only negative thing is there are 3 quizzes that are 12 mins. long with 20 questions! I pretty much got 50% on them everytime. They don't seem to be out of the book ethier. But she was great!
Awesome teacher! Just go to class and do your work. You'll learn alot and get a good grade. Would recomend anyone to take her class. I had her HUM I express class, it went fast but was alot of fun.
I took her for World Religions. She was a great teacher. All lessons were posted so you could work ahead, which I love. Very clear, always gets back to you timly (questions/emails/grades). You will have to do work in this class. Lessons due every week. Either a writing project or dis board. 4 tests and extra credit. Take her!
Brandy is great! TONS of opportunity for extra credit, which isn't even needed if you study at all. She's funny and definitely knows her stuff, and she teaches with a completely unbiased outlook, which is nice for a World Religions class. I highly recommend her for this class- I thought it was going to be dull, but it's anything but!
I took her online for summer semester and I really enjoyed the class. The discussions and essays are fairly easy but make you think. The tests are fairly difficult, but if you read the chapters, you'll be fine.
I took her online course for the summer semester. The only thing I can comment about her class is that I didn't like her tests. The test are based on the chapters, but it was difficult because it's on 3-4 chapters combined. No one can remember minute detail for a test. Despite her test, her class was fairly decent. Overall I got an A.
I don't think she was clear on what she was teaching but then again it might have been that i think world religions is a really ugly boring subject.Its an easy class though she is easy going if anything
Blended 8 week class. Easy class. Lots of discussions/speakers and some group work. Homework is all done online and not really covered in class. Easy homework though. Take her if you have the chance. I'll take her again.
this class was easy..assignments were easy...my only complaint was her attitude she was not very nice and she will have worng dates due on angel...there is no final and and no paper ..just small assignments. easy A if you try..if you dont try you will still pass!
I enjoyed this class.Extra credit work was helpful. Tests were timed and hard for me. Class assignments are interesting and fun.Due dates are posted. I did not do well in a past HUM class. Wish I had taken Dr. Stark. I believe I would have done better.
this lady is crazy. she is a ghost hunter and constantly talks about her pugs. the class is boring and she doesn't really know what she's talking about most of the time. I would not recommend her I took her for world religions and western hummanites
De.Brandy Stark is a crazy wicked lady and she lies about grades. She is very sarcastic and not helpful when you are asking about your grade or help for homework.DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER
Field Trips are fun. Shes a little "out there" but shes a nice lady. I actually learned a lot in this class and didnt really try to. Got an A. Just know how to write a paper and study- like these other angry posts obviously did not..
Great online class. She is well organized and respond quickly via email. Grades extremely fairly. I recommend her highly!
OMG! amazing teacher. Highly recommend! Extremely helpful. Wonderful teacher that i would highly highly recommend. I wasn't too thrilled about the in class group assignments but overall her class is great. Attendance is a must due to guest speakers and information being given. If you need to take REL2300 take her she's amazing!
i loved this class and i actually learned a lot, the tests were kind of hard but i still got an A in the class, and she offers extra credit which helps
Take this professor. She is reasonable and good communicator. She gives extra credit to boost your grade. Had I done it, I would have gotten an A. Ended up with B.
Easily the best teacher iv ever had. She knows her stuff. The topics she covers are difficult to follow and include a lot on material but she understand the need for group activities score well in this class ;) The first teacher iv even sought out to take again.
Online - 2nd time taking her. Lots of discussions/essays due but they are fairly simple. Group project on a southeast Asian country. Fairly easy project but start early. 3 test BUT some of the material wasn't in the book (not that I could find) Offers LOTS of extra credit. No mid-term or Final. The book SU@&S! Try to find a used one or rental.
I LOVED her. she was great. funny, interesting and made world religions easy. she had speakers come in and talk to us and on test days u dont even have to come to class. just take the test on ur comp at home during class time! would deffinetly take her again
She does a good job handing all the information you need to you. She uses angel a lot and puts all her notes on there. Her tests are hard and she is picky with her grades for the written assignments but if you study what she gives you you should be fine. It will help if you have an interest in this class.
This lady is an excellent teacher. I didn't really have a lot of interest in the subject prior to class but she makes it interesting. She's very laid back and approachable. Also you can tell she's very knowledgable about what she teaches. I would take her again in a heartbeat.
Great teacher! I had no interest in this subject, and was frankly dreading it but she made me look forward to class each day. She's very eclectic, and a (true) paranormal investigator to boot! Would take her again! We even had a project about anime! If you're an eclectic geek,(like me) you'll love her class.
This Professor is great! the class is soo interesting and even if your not interested in the subject you will fall in love with it. its an easy A plus its extremely fun, I would recommend her to all my friends !!!
SHE IS FANTASTIC!!!!! I have taken her for Humanities and World Religion. She has a lot of passion and knowledge. I have learned so much from her. You will love her class!!! She even gives extra credit:-)
hmm.. shes a tough one. i like her and i got a good grade, but she is pretty weird individual and her test are very hard. they are "test mill" questions and they are tedious things you don't remember from the reading. its a fun class, but you might not pass...
She is wonderful. She promoted discussions with the class, and was the most knowledgable instructor I have ever had. She had an answer for everything, and although she always apologized for babbling, it was the babbling that I and my classmates enjoyed. I would take her again in a heartbeat and am highly recommending her. Go Dr. Stark!!
Super hard exams! Do NOT take her in the Summer, she thinks is regular and that her class is the only one you are taking. Lots of writing & researching. If you want an A you MUST do all the extra credits!!!! :( Did I say LOTS of writing!!!
She's a great teacher, but don't take her in the summer. Heavy workload. Totally worth it for the classroom experience, though.
I love Prof. Stark. The way she presents the information is phenomenal! She's not ultra boring, like most professors are nowadays when they give lectures; she gets the point aross much better that way! And our workload this fall semester hasn't been terrible at all. Interesting assignments!
Enjoyed this class, Prof Stark makes it very interesting and she is very helpful. You always get information in preparation for each assignment and quizzes. Learned a great deal from this course. Would take her again in a heartbeat, if she offered a course for my degree.
LOTS of writing, do the work you'll do good.
Lots of writing but very easy writing. Very helpful teacher and I did enjoy her class. Responds very quick.
She is an amazing Teacher! She is gives plenty of information to help pass the class. The only teacher the still has most of her class after the drop date! I wish I could take her over. I learned so much from her class!
Excellent teacher, she knows her stuff in and out. You just have to pay attention and do good on the test. She is 100% organized.
I was scared to take this class, but it turned out to be a lot of fun. The class was so easy, I never even opened my text book. Exams were a little difficult but still reasonable. For the final, you had to go to a museum and write a paper on a piece of work. Easy work throughout the course.. I actually enjoyed this class!
I took her online and she did not give u much freedom at all when it comes to picking an topic 4 the paper. I picked a topic then she changed it and it was hard for me to find anything on that. so I asked to change it and explained my situation & did not let me change it at all. no compassion!Decent in class professor. Horrible online professor.
Took over summer online: the course was very interesting. Lots of writing, HW, reading and EC. The test are timed. Overall she was a great Prof
She knows her stuff and expects you to automatically know it as well. lots of writing and reading. fast paced, test are hard and out of the 5 pages of notes we take a day there maybe 1 question on the test. But she knows her stuff!
This is a great teacher. She is clear on what she expects. Do the work that is expected and on time you will get an A. She also give extra credit to help where you didn't so so well before. Wonderful teacher. I took her for world religion and Western humanities.
The class was very easy. There's a lot of extra credit that was offered. The tests are heavily weighed and the class is based off a points system. He offers extra credit through the online class and extra credit to do in campus. If you work hard on your assignments and take your time for the tests, you'll get an A in the class.
she assigns 4 writing projects which I found a little bit difficult. She will take points for grammar errors. Also, some questions in the exams are very tricky and not clear. She offers a lot of extra credit and if you attend those and do the assignments you will be fine. She is very prepared and makes the course very interesting. Take her class.
Dr. Stark is extremely knowledgeable. Sometimes her instruction for assignments was vague or seemed like two half thoughts mashed together, which made her seem bubble headed(she's not at all). She offers a ridiculous amount of extra credit, making it really easy to get an A. She's better in person than on-line.
Easy class with lots of reading and assignments. Awesome anime project and a museum project worth 1/3 of grade. No midterm or final but the big projects make up for it. Lots of essay writing and I believe we had 5 quizzes.
All book work, lots of reading and the questions are tricky on the test here and there. You must work in this class, you work for the grade you want. Tons of extra credit (weekly). Recommended course ~
Took the class during summer. 3 chapters of work due every 2 weeks. There is a lot of writing done in this class and a couple quizzes, but she also gives out extra credit opportunities. Everything feels so disorganized. She'll say that something is due a certain day, but the due date on the assignment is different. Overall, good online class.
Dr. Starks was a wonderful teacher, that is, until she started to talk. Give it to her, she knows her stuff, I mean she talks like she was best friends with these people, drinking beer in front of a football game. At times she would go off on tangents, talking about how anti-mainstream she is, or her pugs. Overall easy grade, just annoying.
i am currently taking her online religion course. I've gotta say this is one class i wish i took in person, not because its hard online, rather i wish i had more interaction with her. I really enjoyed the class, just think it would have been more fun if it was in person. I gained a lot form this class, and i should make an A. Lots of extra credit
Awesome professor extremely knowledgeable and is passionate about her teachings. Enjoyed her classes very much!
Dr Stark's class was great. This is the second class I have taken with her, and would definitely take another class if the chance presented itself. Great field trips, and a wealth of knowledge from this professor. Show up, participation is 100 points.
She make the course content interesting in her lectures and her assignments can be hard. You have to put in the work to get a good grade. Overall a great professor that will teach you something new.
Wonderful professor and course. Took online and loved it. All the work and tests are based out of the text book and she uses personal insight to get you involved with fun extra credit offered. loved her, would take again!
Lots of reading, offers online lectures but I watched the first one and it was really boring, I just read out of the text and took notes on Ch. Summary. Assignments due on Thursdays at noon, weird... Teach yourself kind of class.
Dr. Stark is really a great teacher, she's pretty straight forward on everything she wants from you, and you'll have only one assignment a week so it's so easy honestly. On her online class she has a ton of extra credit, each lesson has one, and her quizzes are easy as well just take the notes she says too and you'll be good. Overall great class.
Easy "A " if you do the work and turn it in on time. There aren't many assignments and she offers extra credit. Easy grader and an all around great professor.
Professor Stark is an amazing professor. This class was difficult to understand and had a lot of writing assignments, but if you read the book and pay attention in class, you will do fine. She gives you the grade that you earn, so dont expect any special handouts
This teacher is great just take her. 5 writing assignments 300w, quizzes, one midterm paper600w, discussion posts, she gives nice feedback. I would take any class she teaches. plenty of assignments so your grade isn't weighted so heavy final was a little tough but its not supposed to be easy. I took sims and got a D by 1 point and he woulddnt buge
Prof. Stark may seem a little weird at first but she is extremely nice and carrying. Her classes are easy as long as you read the book. She gives plenty of extra credit (and encourages that you do it). Easy class and you will learn things about your own religion you didn't know.
Took her class HUM2210 online for FSCJ. As long as you do the work, you will get an A. 1 Discussion & 1 Chapter Quiz every week. Then you will have at least 2 essays & 1 power point. Grades fair. Check your spelling before submitting work. Syllabus is easy to follow. If you have any questions she responds same day or next day to email.
Professor Stark was one of my absolute favorite professors! Very relatable person, very eager to learn about what makes each student an individual and greatly encourages personal passions within her course curriculum. I would recommend her to anyone who has trouble focusing on tasks or staying motivated.
Professor Stark is a fantastic person, who really cares about each student! If you are a person that doesn't fit in to most situations or has trouble focusing on cookie cutter classes, she is the one for you.
Thought the class was good. Had technology issues since it was online and she was slow to address these, but in the end they were resolved. Didn't really appreciate how she handled it though. Assignments weren't difficult, but you had to take the time to do them. She is very knowledgeable and excited to teach the subject.
Professor Stark takes great interest in each portion of the curriculum, and encourages the students to do the same. All assignments are engaging and exciting. My greatest class experience so far.
Possibly the best professor I have ever taken. The class was difficult, but not impossible. You MUST go to class or you will not pass the class. Every exam comes with an extra credit opportunity, so if you need extra points there are plenty of opportunities. She knows the material extremely well and tries to bring in guest speakers. AWESOME.
This online class has been my best by far! Ms. Stark is amazing. She is great at communicating with her online students and friendly too. Her feedback on discussion posts are genuine and engaging. If you take this course look for your cultural project experience early! I took this in the Spring and the events were scarce.
Best online professor I have had at SPC. She is responsive to disc. posts, emails and projects. You are expected to read and write quite a bit of posts, but they are easy to understand. Take the Cultural Experience essay seriously as it gets hard to find performances later in the semester. Plan out these things, do the work and you'll do great!
the professor was terrible, course layout was very misleading. She was very dry and had no sense of personality. No interaction, comments on projects were usually 2-3 words. If your going to teach people, show some effort and at least act like you like your job. It should be more then just a paycheck. The materiel was easy, but she was very dull.
Great person, even better professor, she really cares about the subject. Sometimes trails off but most of the time her stories are worth hearing. Likes to draw out notes on broad as she speaks so they get a little jumbled, essays are easy, discussions so so, just don't forget to do them!! pay attention and you'll pass
Professors is very strict with deadlines and not understanding when it come to making up a assignment
This prof doesn't relate her assignments or chapters to her exams and then only gives you 45 minutes to complete the most difficult answers. It's completely busy work and it is not an easy course to get through. I do not reccommend taking this class. she doesn't let you make up anything only with extra credit. she is a know it all and it bothers me
Great professor. Very interesting and fun, and we took field trips! As long as you do the essays and show up and do the tests you will get an A. LOTS of opportunities for extra credit. Start essays ahead of time if you can, no late work allowed!
Tests are all online & extra credit opportunities for each test. 4 writing assignments related to what you're learning at the time. Class may get a little boring, but if you take notes of everything written on the board you should be good.
wonderful online teacher.
I took a previous Humanities class before this one and I loved it but once I got in her class I hated the subject. I took her East-West Synthesis class online and she was so rude and I will never take her again.
Dr. Starke was a really good teacher who is extremely passionate about what she teaches. Will offer any explanations if asked and will try to accommodate in any way possible. She also offers extra credit every chapter as well as bigger extra credit opportunities outside of the class.
Professor Stark will make you feel a little overwhelmed. She has a strong personality and talks about her life sometimes which is great because class goes by faster. Her lectures will fly by quickly if you daydream. Don't skip more than 3 times. She gives good feedback on essays and overall an approachable person. But I'd never take her again..
Dr. Stark is wonderful! I found religion very interesting and you'll learn how to respect other religions. I had a fun time in this course. Make sure to study and take notes, it is very important!
Dr. Stark is perhaps the best professor I have ever had. Her goal? To make you think. She does not force her beliefs upon you but rather implores you to examine your own beliefs and be able to support them. This impeccable, ghost hunting professor is truly an incredible woman, from whom you will learn so much--so long as you're willing to listen.
Professor relies on overly specific gotcha questions from the text to a fault. Discussions are ridiculous and outsource teaching work to Google. Further, my mother was hospitalized for a potentially fatal issue which prevented me from going to the museum for a paper, when I asked for a day's extension she essentially told me it wasn't her fault.
Black board for all lectures and notes, so those with bad eye sight should sit closer to the board. Textbook is not used often, but a cheap PDF can be purchased online. No midterm or final, just 4 papers and 4 tests (submitted online) throughout the semester. This is a memorize, test, forget and move on type course. Attendance goes towards grade.
Her class is easy if you do the readings and keep up on assignments. She is an incredible teacher. She is the most caring teacher I have met and ridiculously nice. I am not really taking anymore religion courses but if I needed to I would. she is AMAZING
