mS. b WOULD WIN BEST TEACHER HANDS DOWN!!!
Great teacher!! Makes class very interesting due to her experience in the field.
Mrs. Behan is awesome! not too extreame with the work but gets the point across pretty well. Knows what shes talking abouls you do what she telt and is very excited about the subject. Have to study for tests but not hard if you use the materials she gives you.
She was great! Knows the subject, presents material well and is helpful. Highly recommended!
Very easy class with Professor Behan. Everything is open notes, and I mean everything. Easy A! She makes the class interesting and enojoyable, very funny. I would recommend.
Mrs. Behan is a very funny lady she isn't to bad with work and everything usually is open notes...if you fail this class your an idiot. She is one of the best professors i've ever had
Prof. Behan's class was better than most lecture classes I've taken! That said, she brings too much of her personal life into the classroom (belittles hubby, discusses kids, etc.). I would have liked to see her take more of a personal interest in her students. I was like an eager puppy when class began and she did not even learn my name.
Awsome teacher, she will work with you and answer any questions with real world issues. Brings family into matter to relate to class very down to earth. Do the work as a college student and you will pass. (Must be COPLETE MORON TO FAIL CLASS)
SHe is Awesome!!!!
She subbed for my BUS 200 class and I thoroughly enjoyed her. She is very funny too and keeps you interested in the material! Would highly recommend!
Awesome teacher. She really helps her students and is an excellent person altogether. If you can't get along with Prof. Behan, then you probably can't get along with anyone.
very cool, good teaching style
Prof. Behan is awesome! She keeps you interested in the subject and answers all questions. Gives some open book/open note tests which helps a lot. I thought she was hilarious. I hope to take her again for Marketing.
Oh Prof Behan. She's hilarious. I think this is the only class I don't sleep in.
I have taken Professor B for 3 classes. She gets the point across doesnt drown you with work but I learned alot in these clases. And she doent bring too much personal life to class, Best professor at NOVA.
You have to try in order to fail this class. She makes it fun and negotiates exam grades. Does everything in her power to help you learn/pass and make it fun. I had her for marketing too. Just don't let your phone go off in class ;-)
This teacher is amazing!!! She really knows how to teach and makes life at nova much more easier. I recomend her for anyone taking bus100.
Professor Behan is the best. She is amazing. She knows her stuff. You really have to be an idiot to fail her class. She has open book test and open note quizzes. She's so funny. She makes brownies as well.
She was an amazing teacher who will actually help you, attendance is not mandatory but if you want to pass go and print out your slides. I'm taking her for MKT in the fall!
Very pleasant prof who goes out of her way to make sure her students learn and pass. You really have to be in a coma not to pass her class.
Hands down the nicest teacher at NVCC
One of the best professors I've had, replies to emails promptly, know the material really well and knows how to teach effectively. She is fair about testing, you need to study and day after the test you can argue your case for partial credit back.
Always very nice and very helpful. Proctored an ELI course and after I was too busy at work to finish the first couple of assignments, she gave me a couple weeks to catch up and didn't withdraw me from the class. Wound up getting a high B. You can retake quizzes for a higher school and exams are moderately easy. My best business prof yet.
One of the BEST teachers I've had so far.Taken both MKT201 and BUS100 and did very well in both.Has a sense of humor and willing to help students who don't understand the material.One major project and 4 tests, and one was a take home and other on was open book open notes final.Also lets you argue for points on the ones you got wrong. GREAT TEACHER
The best teacher I have ever had. Powerpoint presentations are excellent. She will work with you if you need extra help. Understands complications of a college life.
Professor B. is what professors who actually want to teach should be. I was skeptical returning to school I took BUS 100 and since then taken her in now my fourth class. She even helps me with my other subjects. Yes she may talk about her personal life alot but as far as Im concerned she relates to "REAL LIFE" and isnt that what we are here for?
She's nice teacher.
She's a great teacher. She really tries to help you pass. She also tries to make everything easy. We've done three tests, the first was open book and the second was a group test. She also gives you the chance to win back points on tests the day after. She's an awesome teacher, but talks really really fast so you have to get used to that.
she is real easy an easy b or a
Awesome teacher. Has a great sense of humor, and understands when real life catches up to you, since she's also attending classes herself. She's passionate about the subject.
BUS 100 Spring 2010. She is a fun teacher that doesn't swamp you in home work, keeps you laughing and is very understanding when stuff happens and you can't make it to class.
Best teacher ever, do your work, listen to what she says and you will pass no problem. She keeps the class fun and keeps me awake, which is rare. Shes a great teacher and doesn't overwhelm you with work.
She rocks, i have taken 3 different classes with her, and got a lot out of each class
She's the best teacher in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD. I love her I did not want to miss her class she makes everything so exciting and fun. She really cares about your grade and does alot to help! Once again shes the bestttttttttttttttttt.
Very nice and funny. The best teacher at NOVA.
Easily the nicest teacher at NVCC. Even if you are not interested in business, you will learn a lot of real world applications from this class. Negotiates points back on the tests and half of them were open book. Very easy to talk too about any problems/concerns. TAKE HER!
Do your homework, study for the tests, participate in class, and it's an easy A. No offense, but you have to be really dumb or constantly absent to fail this class. She's hilarious and probably one of the best teachers at NOVA.
Professor Behan is a strong & very respectable woman. Kudos to her for continuing her education! She understands her students' study habits and teaches her class so everyone has a good chance to pass. Also, she is hilarious! I loved coming to her class because it was like learning business through a comedian act.
EASY to obtain an A. ALMOST NO HOMEWORK. SHE PUTS EVERYTHING ON BLACKBOARD. GIVES YOU SECOND CHANCES ON QUIZES. "CURVES" TEST IF THE MAJORITY OF THE CLASS DOES NOT DO WELL. SHE IS FUN AND OUT GOING. SHE IS LIKE THE ANDREW YOUNG OF THE BUSINESS DEPARTMENT.
she reminds me of a chihuaha poodle mix, she's hilarious. talks fast but she is a pretty awesome teacher. deff. recommend her, especially if you aren't really interested in the class per-say.
As long as you do the reading and required assignment you will do fine. Very helpful teacher and rally knowledgeable in the field. Highly recommend her for BUS classes. I really enjoyed her class.
great teacher. you definetly get a deserved A in her class. she talks class but she keeps the class very interesting. she may come off a little offensive but shes only being realistic. would recommend her to anyone!
Awesome teacher, loves what she does, knows what she's talking about, she's easy to pay attention to and tells you exactly what you need to do to pass with an A and still manages to make it interesting and useful
AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, NICE HELPFUL WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT. WONT REGRET HER SHE THAT GREAT
shes great!! easy, helpful, fun, and all of the above!! you will not regret choosing her as a profressor!!!
Best professor ever! She knows her stuff, teaching style is quick and to the point. Very clear on her expectations and what you need to do to get an A. If you read and pay attention in class, which is not hard because she is just that great, you will pass with an A. You will not regret taking her class. I cannot wait to take her MKT class.
This class was too easy. This professor was ok. She is very enthusiastic about teach and get very upset when the class is not as enthusiatic as her.
I LOVE Ms. Behan, It should honestly be a crime against humanity not to take this lady, I mean she's the best teacher I've ever had in my life. Highly knowledgeable and intelligent; very chill, relaxed, and understanding, not to mention she?s also incredibly funny, she?s like the Jerry Newsome of the Business Department.
She was great! She helps the students with anything, tests are easy, studying helps!. Easy A for some because it is a workable A, depending the effort you put in her class. She loves teaching and you can tell based on the way she speaks. Easy to talk to,fun class, and very beautiful personality. You won't regret taking her class.
Easy and workable A. Show up, listen and do the work and you'll be fine. Love her as a prof and an advisor. Take her if you can!!!
Great sense of humor, easy, Understanding, Helpful, Funny. Five exams, take home/open book. Stock Market Report. Take her you wont regret. You will learn as if Chris Rock is teaching BUS100 to you! LOL. Take her she will work with you and trust me no one will FAIL this class. If you do, RETHINK your life over and perhaps drop out of college.GudLuk!
Teacher is GREAT. Attendance is not mandatory but you are better off if you go to class. Pay attention, listen to her and you won't have any problems. Do all of your assinments and you will get a good grade. She is fun and keeps you interested.
Great professor, always had a great attitude each and everyday. While the class was easy I still learned a lot. I recommend taking her if you're doing this course.
She is awesome! Very helpful and is willing to work with you when need be. You will learn a lot and laugh the entire time. I highly recommend her classes!! You will look forward to going to class.
Amazing teacher, probably the best ive ever had. she makes it so its hard to fail her class unless you dont attend
A very good teacher. You will look forward to going to her class. Exams are usually open-book and you can earn extra points on your test if you can justify your answers. Attend class and you will get an A!
She is really energetic and keeps class interesting. Also she is in school and knows that dead lines are some times impossible and will work with you to succeed. Great professor...I think she gets payed to promote Wegmans because she talks about it every class...jus saying
Prof. Behan is so funny and nice.I can't believe teacher such as her caliber are not at some Ivy League school honestly! She is so knowledgeable and smart. Bus 100 with Prof. Behan (soon to be "DR" Behan) is EASY A: show up, listen, work little hard and you should have an A for sure. You don?t take her for Bus 100, something is wrong with your head
Best teacher I have had at NOVA. She cares about you getting a good grade just as much as you do. Funny too, her class is educational and jokes around constantly. If you have the opportunity to take any class with her do it.
She is what college needs to be. Fun and exciting. More students would attend college if they had a teacher like her. PLEASE MAKE HER A DEAN or at least let her teach more business classes! Thanks Dr. Behan!
She is the best teacher I've ever had! She's what college is supposed to be like! She actually cares about you learning and help you in and after class for your learning and life goals.
She is the absolute best professor there is out there. She cares about her students and if you don't understand something, she is sure to explain in a much easier way. If you ever have any questions, don't be afraid to ask because she is more than willing to help. Show up to class and you will pass with flying colors.
I took her my first semester at NOVA, and i stand by it when I say she was the best professor I have had so far. So understanding, so helping and she's just on fire. If i were you, I'd take her class. She's out of the book, gives points back for quizzes and is an A if you work a bit. She has such faith in people.
She is super easy, you cannot fail this class even if you try to.
I was afraid that I wouldn't like business, but taking Professor Behan class was Fun, entertaining, and extremely educational. The most important thing I learned was I enjoy Business. Thanks Professor Behan!!! :)
She is super easy and funny.Homeworks and quizes are online but easy as hell. Exams are open book or in group so that is easy too. Just one project but u will have whole semester to do that so that is not big of deal.She would also help u if u need any kind of help. i would highly recommend to take this class, easy A
I just took her BUS 100 class during the summer, and she is awsome. She's not an "easy A" but she isn't a difficult "A" either. She makes the content current to what is going on in today's world. Some lectures can be a little dry, but then again it's a business course. Also, her exams are simple,they make you think but aren't meant to trick you.
I loved Ms. Behan. She is so helpful and her lecture style makes it easy to pay attention. If you go to class you'll get an A.
This course was probably the easiest Ive ever had. She lectures off of the power points in which she posts on blackboard. So I don't think attendance was that mandatory except for exam days. There were 5 exams and only 1 of them we had to study for. The rest were open book/notes/group work. There is a stock project and a paper. It's easy though.
Such an easy course. you will get an A as long as you attend class
her class is super easy. take it.
She is extremely helpful, she's really friendly! My favorite professor in the entire campus! If you want to take BUS or MKT classes definitely go with her!
Take this class, she is an amazing teacher and i love going to her class!!!! She makes it very interesting and is very interactive with the students. A+++++++++
I show up every class although it's not necessarily because I need the attendance grade. I just love going to her class to hear her rant about how the world is as opposed to how we're told it is. We learn business too, she(somehow) mixes her rants with the lesson material. 10/10 Would take her again if I could.
She was a great teacher! She likes to joke around and makes the class interesting, most of the tests were open book so very easy!!
SUPER helpful, if you go along with her powerpoints you will be set for the semester. before every test be sure to complete quiz . she only gives 5 exams! definitely take her class!
As long as you do your work you'll get a good grade and the work isn't even hard. Great person with even better stories! Pay attention and you'll learn something. BAND TEN HUT!
Great professor. Made my first college semester wonderful. Easy going helpful. Really friendly. Fun class.
this was one of my best classes ever!!!! i love her. she was very helpful and so easy to talk too. definately would recommend anyone who needs this class to take her
She is such an awesome Professor. She has a spunky sense of humor. She is easy going and cant wait to take her Marketing class :)
She is a great teacher, the class is never boring even on Mondays! There are rarely any assignments and if you have one, it is easy. All you have to do is show up to class and take tests. She gives out easy extra credit too!
Professor Behan is probably one of the best teachers at nova. She's extremely intelligent and is also hilarious! She will never keep you bored and the assignments are not difficult at all. She's very understanding and if you take ANY of her classes you will walk out with a good grade. You'll be surprised with everything you learn in her class!
She is the absolute best prof EVER. Had her for 2 semesters. She makes you think, but youd never know it based on how she teaches. She is so helpful even outside of class. If you need advice on something she can actually answer your question or will find you one. She even helped guide me as to what to do at a 4 yr school
One of the best professors you will ever have! I can't wait to take her marketing class next semester. You cannot fail her class it is impossible! She knows exactly what she is talking about and is always willing to help or clarify things. You can't go wrong if you take her class
Amazing professor, she really made sure you didn't have any questions regarding the material. Lectures are fun and interesting. Come to class. Do the learnsmarts. Participate. Ta-da! An A.
Impossible to fail. Prof Cogdill is so intelligent and goes so in depth with her lectures. She gives real life examples. Complete the homework on time and you'll have nothing to worry about. She gives points back if the class puts up a good argument for missed test questions. Doesn't care if you're late and gives so many extra credit chances!
Professor is hysterical and I enjoyed being in the class.
She is a great teacher! wont let you sit on an 89 or 79 will will curve your grade if you deserve it. the homeworks are super easy but the tests are EXTREMELY difficult! other than that you should get an A al long as you study for test come to class and do the easy learn smart home works
Professor Cogdill is the Woman!!!! By the looks of it you can tell she loves doing her job. explains everything so well. test are very straight forward, no need for a book either.
1010 great professor, wish I could have taken more classes with this professor but I moved :( now I deal with a SUB PAR professor. Enthusiastic attitude is great, she helps you with anything in class, she understands emergencies and sickness and is there for the student. A rare professor in this day and age, I recommend her to all my friends.
I'd take her over and over and over again. True example of some one who loves their job. Love her. Very helpful and passing with an A is extremely easy. 300 characters isn't enough to express how awesome she is. TAKE HER. SHE WANTS TO TEACH NOT HARM!
Very easy grading with test. After the test, she gives extra point a lot. Very kind and provide help if we ask. No one can fail this class. Attendance is important. Need textbook for open book test but all the homework is with learnsmart.
Great professor! I would take her class again! She is so understanding. Easily one of my favorite professors.
One of the best Professors I've ever had. Would take any class that she teaches, she is very clear in her lectures. She does not want you slacking off and if you keep up with her very clear syllabus ( which she updates regularly) you will pass the class easily.
Only good things can be said about Professor Cogdill. Now she's on her way to receive a PhD. That just goes to show how amazing she is!
Oh Professor Cogdill. She was quite entertaining! She is friendly and exceptionally interactive .There is light homework and a few tests. I did the homework, and studied some for the tests and I'm getting a good grade. Show up, attendance is worth a whole test grade (100 points) and do the homework. it'll help your grade. She's a great professor!
Professor Cogdill is by far one of the best teachers at NOVA. As long as you complete the homework (easy and short) and show up to class, it is an easy A. She prepares you very well for the exams, and prepares you well for life. She is there to help you succeed. I never even used the textbook and barley studied and got an A.
Amazing just take her class and you will understand how easy and understanding she is
This is great class. Professor Cogdill cares about her students and what you need to learn. NoVa needs more like her. She gives you lots of chances to learn what she needs you to in order to pass
GUYS YOU HAVE TO TAKE HER! BEST PROFESSOR I EVER HAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! look at the rest of the reviews!
I took her last year, and I am will be hopefully taking her again this year. Absolutely the BEST period. If you have the privilege of being a business major, guess what... she's also your adviser as well. With that said, she will take soo much time to help you in the class, as well as with your major. Witty, and funny too :)
Prof. Cogdill is very fair! After an exam she will go over the question that the majority of the class missed and as long as the class explains to her why they picked the answer they did she will add those points on your exam. So SPEAK UP!!! I took her hybrid class and never missed a class and it's for your own good to show up!
Cogdill makes this class easy through her funny, and knowledgeable teaching. Students will not have to study hard in order to retain information, but they will have to show up. By really interacting with her students, Cogdill shows that she cares and gives many opportunities of extra credit for individuals that answer questions related to lecture.
She's so awesome. She helps you if you need. She makes it fun and enjoyable. I wish she taught every class at Nova because everyone else pretty much sucks aside from her.
If I could select more than 3 tags, I would select all the positive ones! She's such an awesome person to learn from. She's very understanding of situations that you may be going through, but you need to not bs her. She's willing to help you in any means necessary, but don't think you can get away with taking advantage of her. 12/10 would recommend
She's the best teacher at NOVA. I wish she could teach every subject at NOVA because everyone else isn't as good. She works with you if you need help, she gives extra points after tests, if you fail you either didn't come to class or didn't pay attention to her hints. Almost impossible to fail. She's so awesome :). Also great academic advisor!!!
SHE IS A MUST! Professor Cogdill has changed my outlook on college & my major. She gets you excited to learn, she's real with you & she looks out for her students best interests. You can not fail any of her class because she pushes you to succeed. She's passionate, out-going, HILARIOUS & she makes class fun. THERE ARE NO TEST! please take her.
This professor was extremely horrible at teaching my Business class. She rambled on about her personal life and did not cover any of the important material for the class. The time it took to show up for the class felt useless because she ran through the material and the presentation slides so fast, I could not understand or even retain any of it.
Professor Cogdill is great. She is a must-take if you looking to go into business and looking to transfer with a high GPA. Tests are fairly easy. She's extremely passionate about business, and will ensure that you get an A if you put in the effort. Just keep up with the online HW assignments once a week and you can't fail.
She's a wonderful professor. Very very easy class. Many online homework's that counts towards your grade, which only take like 10 minutes to do. 5 exams, 3 are taken at home, and 2 in the class. As long as you do your work on time, it's an easy A.
Great
She's an example of what other professors should be like. Work wasn't aggressive and the information was the easiest to retain, other professor should take note. Really sweet demeanor and her lectures are always fun. If you ever have a honest question or genuine concern, if you ask after class she will address it for you. Highly recommend.
I LOVE HER OH MY GOOOOOD! She is my queen. I cannot express how much I love her. She is absolutely amazing and hilarious! I definitely recommend her!
For any business class, she's the best option. Don't even think twice, just enroll. Hilarious, sweet, helpful. She's so much more than just textbooks or power points. Definitely recommend her.
Took BUS 270 with her as well. Hands down one of the best professors I have ever had. She is very engaging and definitely knowledgeable of what she is teaching. Does a good job of getting the point across. She is very lenient and flexible, as she does not expect to much and is understanding of student situations. Highly recommend her. Effort an A
Honestly there isn't enough space here to descirbe how amazing Professor Cogdill is. Hands down the BEST professor I've ever had and the only one that made me feel like even though we are students, we matter. She is very insperational and makes you want to learn. She will do anything to help you stay on track. Dont take advantage of her kindness.
Very Clear at Explaining. Funny in many Ways. Gets points back for Reviewing After Each in class Test (Not Final)
A great person and professor
amazing teacher. she has a PHD and is probably the best teacher in the business department. Tests are easy. do not skip the class after test. she gives back points on tests for showing up. only 1 test and final is in class. all other tests online. She cares about students and knows what she's talking about.
Felt like I was at a comedy club than a college classroom when attending class with her. That's how much hilarious & funny she is but, also at the same time she is the most inspirational, influential prof, & role model I've ever met in my life! She shared her personal stories & has inspired me to complete my education strong. Built my confidence!
She is very understanding and helpful.
