She is rude, unclear, confusing, and does not know how to comm well, polite and in a professional matter. Look at her reviews @ HU main campus no one likes her. Dont take her if u dont want to drop the course or get a bad grade. Not helpfull at all!
This class is tough, the prof is somewhat hard to understand and it can get a bit confusing. The exams are very hard... (the material is interesting) Try emailing the prof your questions, she's usually really good about replying and guiding you with ideas. If you decide to take her..Don't give up!
This professor is very knowledgeable and very interesting. Her tests are very, very difficult. It is sometimes hard to understand what her interpretation of the English language is, which might be different from yours. I think this was the majority of the class' problem in this class. However, I'd recommend her and take her again.
Her thick accent makes it really hard to understand. She seems rude most of the time for some reason and not helpful at all!! I turned in a project and she forgot to grade it, when I took the paper back, I went back to her and told her that she havent graded my paper, she accused me of trying to cheat by using that excuse to turn in late paper. wt.
Professor is extremely nice and very helpful. She makes you work hard for the grade, but his is a summer class and everything is abreviated. Quizes and papers are frequent but not very hard to accomplish. Take Christine if you want to learn, if you want to coast, go to another professer to take social psych.
Very Hard !!!!!
horrible. i am a 3rd yr psych major & i love the subject. teacher is very hard to understand & extremely rude. if you take the class, ask a TON of ?'s before submitting assignment. do yourself a favor and choose someone else if sincerely interested in this subject. fyi~ i have a "b" avg in her class so poor grade is not making me biased.
A great professor, helpful, answers questions & I recommend her. Her accent was no problem w/ me. The book was no use to me. Her powerpoints helped much. The site linked from the powerpoints are helpful: there are multiple choice, true/false, & notecards to help you study. She posts reviews on WebCT & are consistent w/ the test(multiple choice.)
Worst professor I've ever had!!!!!! She isn't helpful at all, when you ask her something she takes major offense, she is rude and very inconsistent. You suffer from her mistakes, her grading depends on what she's going through at home and if she is in a good mood. DO NOT TAKE HER!!!!!!!!!
She can be quite rude to her students. She does not like ideas different from her own. I did all the work, read the text, and spoke in class when she expected student interaction. Her instructions are VERY unclear so ask a lot of questions. Don't aruge and do the work and the class will be fine.
You will be stupid not to make an A+ in her class. It is the easiest class I've ever taken.We worked on Vista spring semester and we had online assignmnets...take her if you need an easy A.
Didn't hear good things about her in the beginning. Lots of writing journals, research paper was easy, dicussions easy , gave lots of extra credit, hard not pass the class. used lots of notes from powerpoint, mind you this is a hybrid class. so if you think you can just pass w/out doing some of the work. you should take another class.
required:journals, dicussions, tests, and research paper.All are easy if you give it your all. Leave your opinion in the disc. and not the journals, she has very strong views about certain things just nod and agree, it's better that way. You must try and do every assignment b/c every point counts. This was also a hybrid class, its more convienent
I don't think she's difficult at all. There is a lot of work in her class but it is not difficult (discussions, journals, research paper, and tests). She gives easy assignment; every now and then she's a bit unclear, but she responds to questions well. I have her for a hybrid class and will take her again. I recommend her.
She is very nice lady, just read the chapters and you will do fine. This was a hybrid class and assigments were online.
Dr. Bachman is a wonderful professor. She is very clear in what she wants. If you follow the syllabus and read you will do fine. However, she does require you to write alot. All assignments are easy and test require to understand the read materials. I would recommend for all classes.
Very Very rude through email conversation. Learn some email etiquette!! I emailed many times asking for help and got back "refer to syllabus" only. Does not go out of her way to help anyone. Material is easy, but the way she speaks to you makes you not want to attend class or ask for help. Take someone else!!!
Stay Away!! Awful professor. Terrible communication skills!
This class was extremely easy. Dr. Bachman was helpful in understanding situations in regards to the hurricane, and adjusted our assignments accordingly. The assignments were VERY straight forward, so one shouldn't have to e-mail her for help---I never had too, so I cannot comment on her manners. I have signed up to take her next semester.
Easy material... but she makes things complicated. Tuff to communicate with. Stay Away.
She is a hard professor, the class is a lot of work especially being online. At first, she is rather short and rude in her emails, but if you do good work, she warms up to you. I would take her again if she offered another class.
Great Teacher! Very clear what she wants. Awsome grading scale. I literally made 2 F's and 2 C's on the 4 tests and still made a A. Gives a lot of Extra credit. Attendence is mandatory, but for only 20 classdays. Grading scale is based on points earned. Ex: 20 days attended is 100 pts, every journal is upto 12 pts, tests are upto 30 pts, etc.
Terrible communication skills!! Doesn't have clear requirements or expectations. Passed class, but was confused about the correct procedure. When you contact her about clarification she gets offended.
Fun professor, you just have to keep up with the reading, all quizes are online.
she is great! offers lots of opportunities to do well
You will learn a lot! If you are a PSY major or EDU major, make it a priority.
take her! she's fun and easy! i rarely went to class and still passed! all assignments are online! she is a very nice and sweet woman who will help you as much possible to pass her class
Good teacher... Great feed back... Class was not hard, but you have to keep up with the readings.
Unfortunetly I did not like her or the class. At first I thought she was a good professor but then when I needed to get help she was sarcastic. Did not appreciate that since I pay for school.
Very firm and no room for error. I learned a lot in her class. I enjoyed the subject. Lot of work and make sure you do not miss a deadline because she will not let you make it up. Overall, good class, but I would not take her again.
Very good proffessor overall. Clear and easy to understand. Will help if you need her to explain something.
I wasn't a big fan of the 6 pages of essays assigned a week
I found her class to be very writing intensive compared to other upper level minimester classes I have taken at other colleges. She drops the two lowest essay grades, but she is a "painful grader" as she puts it.
I took her for intro to psy and she was pretty easy. You don't need to study too much. She cares about her students.
I would say it is a great professor. The only thing is that this class has been easy for me, and could get an easy A on the tests.
Im currently sophomore at UHD, so far she has been the best professor for the entire time I was in this school. She is clear and knows what she is going. Don't miss class you will do just fine. I recommend her and I will take her again.
She is the best ever!!!
She is a great professor that makes psychology easy to understand. She does ask a lot but she motives you to want to do your best. Highly recommended to attend class to get the most out of her lectures. She enjoys teaching and loves the subject of psychology.
I really enjoyed her class. Her online class was thought-provoking and I enjoyed her discussion "Learning Options." If your posts meet her requirements and you utilize "Spellcheck" (you'd be surprised...) you'll do great. She's very easy to talk to to and seems levelheaded. I def recommend her online classes.
Her tests are hard but she helps you understand the material. All the quizes are online at home and off of textbook!
I skimed the chapter reviews. Made an A . The exams are a little tough but use the index and take it the second time and print it out the first bc it will have some of the same questions. Shes easy ... do the work and it will be even easier!!
Easy A!! Read the book and spend 1-2 hours writing and researching your discussion... would recommend and will be taking for the 3rd time in the spring.
Poor communications skills and does not help you at all.
From reading her past reviews she still has very poor communication. She is not willing to help you even if you email her several times. She is not understanding at all. She knows her subject well but is a very difficult teacher to function with. Take another professor.
Dr. Bachman's Psych of Women's class is a great course and I am learning SO much. With that said, the course is demanding and the tests are very difficult. I have all A's this semester with the exception of her class. If you need an A this is not the instructor for you. If you just want to learn a lot, I would recommend her class.
Great Professor. 3310 was a very challenging class with this instructor; her test were based on application; you will not be able to find answers in the book; reading and comprehending is a must! I made an A but it was not easy.
She isn't easy, but she makes sure you learn. Isn't that makes a great professor?
Dr. Bachman is not the kind of professor that you can make an easy A with. She makes you work for it & you learn a lot along the way. She has weekly discussion posts, five multiple choice exams, and two short papers. She will answer any question you have and gives good feedback.
Psych of the Elderly is a fairly easy course. You have to read, but if you do you should do well with her tests. Her communication skills are very poor - she takes a highly sarcastic tone and seems annoyed when e-mailing.
She is one of the most rude, unreasonable professors I have ever met. She doesn't communicate due dates clearly, she talks to you as if you are beneath her she makes me want to change my major.
One of my first online classes and she made everything VERY clear which was greatly appreciated. READ your book and you'll pass. Not too difficult of a book, she responds and grades timely and always has good feedback.
This was an online class. I've taken many online classes and she was the worst by far. Her instructions are very ambiguous and she does not respond timely. She was rude and unreasonable the few times I talked to her. I would steer clear of this professor.
I would highly recommend this professor to anyone interested in women's studies. Her online class is very well organized and it takes a lot of self-discipline, commitment and critical thinking. The textbook is very interesting! That said, the exams are based on your understanding of the material. Take this professor if you want to learn something!
She was very upfront on course work. Not really hard but you have to work for your grade. Test are not easy but all the info is there you have to read and study to make an A. Two papers not that easy but gives you plenty of time to complete. I would take her class again.
It's simple, read and you will pass. Don't read and you will be lost. I hate reading but the material was interesting. Homework and tests every week but it is manageable as long as you dedicate some weekly time. She is clear about what is expected and doesn't make any changes.
Easy mini winter!
Incorporates videos with chapter readings. Weekly online discussion post. 300 word ans 150 word post each 2 classmates. Several test covering readings & theory of understanding. 2 essays about 4-6 pages. Dedicate time to this course. Submit work before deadline. All assignments stated on syllabus at start of semester. Health and culture
Amazing Professor whose feedback will motivate you to your best! Only two papers that were easy, 1 book review (short book) and the material learned is priceless! The weekly discussions were a bit monotonous and the test questions are all applied knowledge so be prepared! Not the easiest A but the textbook is an easy read!
I really enjoyed taking this class! (Psychology of Women) Everything about this class was super interesting! I took her during Summer III! 4 Discussion post & 4 test! She responds to emails and she is super sweet! Take Professor Bachman, she is amazing! You will also need the book because we used it alot
One of the sweetest teachers at the campus. My first interaction with her she helped me plan out the next moves after receiving my bachelors. Her class was easy the assignments are straight forward plus her assignments are aimed to help you prepare for life after completing college. I would recommend her to anyone!!
I really enjoyed taking Health Psychology with Dr. Bachman. The class consisted of : 13 test, 1 intro discussion board, 13 discussion boards and a research paper. A lot of reading but is manageable if you plan accordingly.
Professor Bachman is very well organized. This class consisted of 14 DB, 5 tests, and 1 paper. There is a lot of reading, as expected from an online class, but the material is very interesting. Tests are straight from the textbook.
Not an easy A that's for sure but will make sure you learn the material. You have to read the PowerPoints, text, and videos to participate in discussions and pass the quizzes. Responds to email very quickly, and will not hesitate to talk over the phone if needed.
I have taken 3 classes instructed by Dr. Bachman. She is kind and makes her expectations clear at the beginning of the semester. I love that she is organized and relatable. She responds quickly to emails and is a fair grader. I will continue to take her classes.
I took professor Bachman for a min-mester in May. The instructions were clear and to the point. There was a lot of reading and writing that was expected but she gave is a sufficient amount of time to get it done. Overall it requires a lot of reading, the answers will come from your book. The question reviews in the book were helpful for the test.
I love professor Bachman. Easy class, must take her.
She is amazing! I took this professor 3 times and made an A in each course! I advise anyone to take her!
She made us take a "quiz" (a 25 question test) every two days, had weekly DB of AT LEAST 1,500 words, had assigned readings of 7-8 chapters EVERY WEEK. Her DB instructions made no sense and when asked to clarify by half of the class, she gave us an attitude. I'm about to graduate and I can 100% say this was the worst class I have EVER taken.
Worst teacher I have ever had for an online class! There are about 13 weekly discussions of 300 words or more. Despite me following her rubric and expectations, I never received full points on any of them and she gives no feedback or additional help. When I emailed her all I got was, "maybe you should reread the rubric".
I would not recommend this teacher. regardless of how much effort you put into your work, you will not receive full credit. She doesn't give feed back on why she is giving full credit. each week we are required to write a 300 plus word discussion, we have a paper at the end of course, a final and another 7-10 page paper. I would not take her again
This was an upper level class. If you plan to attend graduate school, this class will prepare you. If you turn in your assignments and follow the syllabus, the class is not difficult. If you don't enjoy reading and don't want to study this class is not for you. I had a full load , took 15 hours and worked full time and managed to keep up.
I've taken Dr. Bachman at least 3 times (women, child, elderly psych) she conducts all her courses the same way. She does give very detailed instructions on how to complete the assignments, so if you get a low grade it's because ONE instruction wasn't followed. So be sure to be on top of your work. She is a fair grader and I would recommend.
defiantly not a hard class. while the material is interesting, she doesn't post any announcements, discuss the chapter/video material in her own words/bring her own ideas or research, or guide the class. you just read a chapter and watch a video (usually a ted talk :/) and post a discussion. i really wish i took the class with an engaging professor
This professor is rude when it comes to emailing her. She is picky with her points so make sure everything perfect before submitting. It took her about 5 weeks to respond to my email and was rude about it when I finally got a respond. Would not recommend, class was a drag.
I took this class as an extra elective. We are nearing finals week and the professor has yet to post any announcements or send out emails about anything. Exams are outlined in the syllabus and you get graded (very harshly,with no feedback) weekly on discussions that are a min 500 words, two 150 word replies. Skip this one, I wish I did. Hard exams!
Rate my professor did not accurately portray this professor at all! Her tests were so comprehensive its more critical thinking than just going to the textbook to find the answer. Was very unhelpful not just during a pandemic but a winter storm! (She doesnt even live in Houston) Most disrespectful teacher Ive ever had in email responses!
Dont take this class unless you really need to. Zero engagement from the professor. She often would send out emails with wrong dates which would stress out the students. I recieved all A's thsi semester with the exception of this class (5 course load) despite the fact that I've spent the most time studying for these classes. Dont do it. Trust me.
DONT and I repeat DONT take her, unless you have to! She does not give extensions. She does not give perfect scores out. I have all As except for this class because she is extremely picky about her discussion post. Her grading is clear, however Im in a group chat with 15 of my classmates and they all agree. Never again!
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. She provides rubrics for her grading, but it doesn't seem like that's what she goes by. Super unfair with giving opportunities to make up assignments for genuine issues. The syllabus it states she'll provide a second chance to do an assignment, but obviously doesn't. Very rude. Links missing or unusable for assignments.
Weekly Discussions post, YOU MUST FOLLOW what she wants. She gave specific instructions. The major thing is to buy that book she recommends. It's literally the key, have what you need. Don't need to actually read all 500 pages in there. Paper, you just talk about ANY chronic disease & how it affects the individual's wellbeing. Read the rubric
This professor is not at all engaging. My only hope at an A was to follow the syllabus. However, many links on her syllabus are broken. She takes zero responsibility for broken links. Her calendar is also not as organized as I would like. Work consists of endless discussion. I earn an A in most classes but will be happy to just pass this one.
Honestly, I was a little worried because of all the negative rates that she has on here. However, the class was easy. Just make sure to have a detailed discussion post. She was nice I would definitely take her again.
She does not engage much but class easy. As long as you stay on top of blackboard messages and keep up with due dates for all discussion posts you will get an A. Lots of reading and watching videos. I'd take her again.
She is a very hard grader and has a lot of requirements for each assignment. There was a lot of reading that had to be done and she does not allow for make-ups for any reason.
Weekly discussion posts that are EXTENSIVE, but she drops the lowest 2. Essay instead of final (2500 words), but very easy grader. Usually has grades in within 3 days. The key is writing beyond the word count. 4 tests, but she drops the lowest one. No lockdown browser. Definitely recommend to anyone who doesn't mind writing too much.
She grades her discussions tough; tests require no webcam not that bad would take it again. interesting subject.
tough grader. weekly discussions that have tough grading criteria. teacher grades very tough on the weekly discussions. provides no feedback
I would never recommend this teacher to take. You're basically incapable of getting a hold of her in a timely matter, sometimes not even at all. You would think her grading criteria are clear but when you do everything she has asked for, she somehow manages to give you a 70 or lower and says you didn't do what she asked.
I would never recommend this professor. I have never had an awful experience with a professor at UHD until now. She is completely incapable of getting in touch with when she does respond it's 5+ days later. You would think her grading criteria are clear, however, she will manage to give you a 70 or lower and say you didn't follow the instructions.
