Brenda cares more about her students than any prof I've had so far. If you want to succeed you will, but if you don't take the time you won't. She will tell you exactly what she expects. I think she prepares you well for the business world because she makes you better yourself w/each assignment. GOO

She tells you her expectations right away. It is a very tough class. She gives you so many assignments. If you are willing to work hard and are able to take criticism well, if you can get in A in this class, suit yourself. She is the hardest teacher, but if you can get the grade, you will have learned the most.

She can definitely be very intimidating in the beginning. But as long as you put in a decent amount of effort to your speeches, and have a good attitude, you should be able to get a high B or better.

Honest. If you're doing something wrong, she'll tell you. Public speaking isn't a place for people to bs around the point, and unfortunately, criticism is the only way to get better. Videotapes speeches and every time, what you watch and what she says is spot on. Thinking she's "mean" is just people not being used to being pushed to become better.

Wouldn't take again

She gives out an unnecessary amount of work for a one credit class that is widely considered a very easy class through Kelley. She is a tough grader with extremely high expectations and looks to deduct your grade. If I were a new student enrolling in T375, I would avoid Brenda at all costs, any other T375 professor is better.

Worst professor in my Kelley career. She gives an unnecessary amount of work for a one credit class during ICORE. Not only will you spend a lot of time doing pointless assignments, but she will do anything in her power to find reasons to give grade reductions. She is a professor that wants you to fail. DO ANYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO AVOID HER CLASS.

Brenda is the absolute worst teacher I have experienced in my entire life. Her class contains somewhat useful information but she had no idea how to teach. There are constant assignments that take hours to do and are complicated. Her grading is even more terrible and your final grade can be ruined by one missing or late assignment. Icore was easier

After reading through a lot of these reviews, Im happy to hear Im not the only one. BBH is on a huge power trip with her role as a professor and ability to affect our grades. She looks for every possible way to make grade deductions and nothing is reasonable. If you miss one assignment you are pretty much screwed. She does not encourage learning

Bar none, BBH is the worst instructor I have had in my academic career from kindergarten to the present. The staggering amount of nonsensical busy-work that this prof conjures out to the dark recesses of her mind puts all other Compass I, II and III professors to shame. Never in your life will you spend more time doing less. You have been warned.

This lady absolutely violates her students and gives so much work that I couldn't sleep at night. This is compass. Why you giving so much work? Felt like I was in the army. She grades like this is a PHD class. This is supposed to be an easy A, this lady grades like its K201. Made my life so much harder and I learned nothing valuable. Dont recommen

From the dawn of time, humans have faced difficult tasks. What makes BBH classes different is that the struggle isnt rewarding. Her busy work is spawned from the depths of Satan's Layer. The trials/tribulations of this class are not valuable. Compass and stress do not belong in the same sentence, but BBH finds a way. No cap tho dont take the class.

Never take this teacher. Gives so much busy work that has no benefit. Grades according to how she wants to, not according to the rubric she gives. Very bad teacher and would recommend everyone switches to a different teacher.

BBH's compass is like compass, but twice the work and 5x harder grading. If you take BBH's course, expect a ton of bs assignments and a B for no reason at all

Extremely meticulous grader, especially for a class like Compass. The material is not too hard (its compass), but the group leader projects can lead to you missing out on up to TWENTY PERCENT of your class grade if you don't read carefully. BBH is high energy and seems to care about what she does, but this class is async so up to you on engagement

BBH is what makes Kelley Kelley. She is a world-class prof. who helps Fortune 500 executives with their communication skills. She's a pretty tough grader, but you will learn a lot through her extensive feedback. Highly recommend BBH.

Professor BBH was amazing for this class. She was super flexible and wanted her students to succeed. She brought out the best in students and wanted them to think critically. This was a service-learning class, and I was very happy to have taken it. She gives good feedback on papers and some assignments before class were time consuming but doable!
