Prompt on point, great interaction with her students. More than fair lets the students earn extra credit or not. Flexible
Very Clear! Very Helpful will work with you if you talk with her. Always shows up to class as well. Would def take her again for 2302 or any other class! Wonderful!
Higly recommend this instructor.Easy A.Best instructor ever.Mix fun and learning,lawyer background.She is hot(pretty).Extra credit opportunities,open-notes final.Interesting extra activities(lawyer or judge presentations)Very nice,helpful,understanding,clear.You need to study her notes,write a few essays,or 5mn current events presentation to class.
She is a very good professor and really explains things. I really enjoyed the discussions and the workload wasn't hard.She has prior knowledge as a lawyer and really knows government very well. As long as you are willing to try she will help you. Great professor and I would recommend her for all government classes. She's AWESOME!!!!
I got an A in her class because I worked for it. She has it set up so you can do extra credit assignments and get the grade you want. She likes to teach and likes her students - I recommend her for any class. She made class fun - everyone talked - no boring lectures. She is great!
Lets just say that the odds that you will ever encounter a professor like her are extremely slim. She is by far one of the best professors I've had in college. She makes lecture fun and I've learned so much. I wish I had a professor like this in all my classes. She is really fair in her grading. Grading is 3 exams, a paper, and participation.
This professor was amazing! I received an A and also received the Honors credit. The class is not one to slack in. Work hard you'll get the grade you want and deserve. Lots of extra credit opportunities. Very helpful. I just wish I could take her for other classes. AMAZING!
She is absolutely amazing. A great professor and she really does everything she can to help her students. I would recommend everyone take her class because I guarantee you will get your money worth.
Wonderful class. I thoroughly enjoyed this semester.
She is the best professor I have ever had. I did not like government before and am taking her 8:00 am class because it it required. I would take any 8:00 am with her. She makes government fun and has a lot of energy. I will take other classes with her. You get your money worth and I should get a A because you can do extra credit writing for her.
Mrs. Cindy Brown was the best government teacher that I have ever had. She makes learning about Texas very interesting and understandable. She's really understanding teacher and she really does try her best to help you out. I actually passed test in her class and understood the material.
This is the best teacher I have had at El Centro. She is very helpful and understanding. She makes learning very unquie, fun, and energetic.
This lady is so funny. She is very energetic and makes the information easy to understand. Great class and best teacher.
Ms. Brown is the best teacher you will ever have. She is very nice, and considerate and has some amazing stories to share with her students. Even though her class is at 8 a.m. you won't fall asleep because she is very energetic and encourages her students to participate in discussions. El Centro needs more teachers like her.
She is a very great teacher.
Professor Brown made herself available to anyone needing help and has a way of captivating your attention. Best professor at El Centro so far!
I really enjoyed this semester. Ms. Brown is one of those teachers that is very enthusiastic about what she is teaching, and that always makes the learning experience better. Her tests are fairly easy if you follow her course notes, and she is very clear when she speaks on a certain topic. I overall enjoyed this semester.
Ms. Brown is one of those teachers that are just incredibly passionate about her course, and it makes learning the material easy. She has practice as a lawyer, and is a great help to students that need it. Highly recommend her class!
Her class was very easy if you pay attention and she is very helpful with everything. If you have any questions she will answer them.
She is a very good teacher, I was never interested in government, but professor Brown taught the subject very well.
This is from somebody that was not interested.I can actually say that I enjoyed this class, I've never been fond of government but the way she teaches makes this course easy to understand.Her notes are easy to understand; which is basically all you need to study from for exams. Overall she is an awesome teacher. Enjoyed it!
I am totally glad I took her class she is an amazing teacher. Even though it was an 8 a.m class i manage to be awake thanks to her. Her notes are the best notes, her tests are easy and very easy to understand, so she is an amazing teacher. Hands down BEST GOVERMENT TEACHER Take her she is amazing
just come to class and you will pass the thing you have to do are easy her test are easy if you don't pass that is on you not her she will help you all the way
I'm so glad I took this course with her.I took her eight o'clock morning class and she was always on time and prepared. She always had so much energy and enthusiasm to lecture. Her tests are pretty easy and the notes she hands out are very helpful because everything we talk about in class is on the test. TAKE HER CLASS YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!
She is one of the nicest most professional professors! I completely recommend taking her class. She is funny and really knows her stuff! Her lectures are fun and full of life. TAKE HER CLASS!
This class was very challenging, which made you try and realize your own potential. very helpful class and very interesting. Recommend
I am not a morning person but her energy and enthusiasm motivated me to class every day. She is a real fun professor and always made her class enjoyable. She also offers a lot of extra credit to be able to make a better grade. I definitely recommend her!
Prof Brown was the best. She lays everything on the table at the beginning of the semester. You know exactly what is due and when. She also gives several reminders. She offers her personal time to students as well as plenty of extra credit to insure that students receive the grades they want. Show up to class and you will not regret this professor.
I really loved her class. She helps you get an A, and she also gives you the notes before every test. All you have to do is read them, and you have a guaranteed A on the exam. The final exam is a take home test, You have the opportunity for extra credit, and she works with you. She is the best teacher ever. A +
On of the BEST professors EVER!and
GREAT PROFESSOR.
I cannot believe I am recommending an 8:00 am class but Ms. Brown is worth it - she gets to know each student and will know if you are not there - so you cannot miss - but I love her personality and what she teaches - being in class was a pleasure (as she would say!). You get your money worth for sure and you will learn!
I never thought would enjoy or take an 8am class but Ms Brown is well it!! She's an amazing instructor and well organized. Always lecturing but well worth looking forward to class and never gives homework, and you don't even need the book! Have about 2 essays and 4 tests, very easy! I definitely recommend her. Easy AB!
AMAZING! Professor Brown did an awesome job! She makes this class worthwhile! The assignments are a breeze! There are only two papers and four tests! If you're not a note taker that's fine, because everything you need to know for tests are always on ecampus! This class is an easy A
Ms. Brown's style of teaching is lecture, but not the one you expect. The best government class I have ever taken. I plan to take her again for my next government class. It's so worth waking up at 6am to be on time for class at 8am.
This Instructor Brings Awareness and Clarity of Federal government to the El Centro College students! She Makes learning interesting and gets you involved in the lectures first hand. Her Class is a must take!
She is super nice and is really there are you.
She is a great teacher , and she is very understanding .
Mrs. Brown has a very positive energy, she made learning Texas Government easy and attainable.
Professor Brown was very knowledgable and interesting even at 8am. She makes sure you learn something. I enjoyed her class.
Professor Brown is a great professor, in my opinion. Her lectures are always interesting and she really knows what she's talking about. She always answers any questions. She has the best attitude. Never a dull moment. She actually made government interesting.. She also gives opportunities to improve your grade.
It's a great class. She's incredibly engaging. :)
Professor Brown is the best. You'd have to miss class to fail. Her work isn't hard but it isn't super easy either. If you pay attention and do your best on your work you'll be fine. She's hilarious in lectures and is always there for you if you need it.
provided notes, didn't need book at all unless you wanted to learn something in detail, half of test were take-home, she's loud.. which is good for an 8am class. she loves drinking coffee or whatever is in her tumbler cup. awesome!
Professor Brown is the best teacher that I've ever had. Her lectures and notes are amazing, but attending class is very important to passing her tests. If you listen and read the notes she gives you, tests are a breeze but still highly educational. Her paper assignment is fun and she loves to be involved in your work. Cannot recommend enough.
BEST GOVERMENT TEACHER IN THE WORLD HER LECTURES ARE CRYSTAL CLEAR AND HER CLASS IS SOOO INTERESTING I LOVE HER! must take her!!!!!!
TAKE THIS CLASS!! She knows the topic so well and made me like government. She brings this class down to earth and makes it easy to understand. I never got it before her. Positive energy and hilarious at 8:00 am! I heard she is writing a book for 2305 to give to students for free so future students don't have to buy a book. Awesome!!
She could teach anything and make me understand it. She has helped me a lot this semester and was understanding since I had some personal issues. I heard an expression recently and it describes her: "I think this woman eats glitter for breakfast!" - describes her perfectly - I am grateful for someone like Professor Brown. :)
This teacher is amazing!! her assignments are super easy and if you're taking this class online and you have a question, she will respond very fast! I love her.
This professor gets to the point with her lessons. She talks really fast but she is very clear and will stop and answer questions if we have any.
In order to fail this class, you would have to give zero effort and try to fail. Prof Brown is full of energy, uses hilarious examples, and is incredibly accommodating for her students. She also has a plethora of 'enhancements' available- these are extra assignments- you do the work, she'll give you the grade.
I loved her class, and before her class, I wasn't that interested in government, but after taking her class, I am more interested in government and politics. Cindy Brown is one of my favorite teachers, she is excited about teaching government, she understands that we are entitled to our opinions, promotes discussion and keeps her opinions out.
She is AMAZING! Lectures are always painted vividly and she gives several opportunities to get extra credit. Nothing less than a A should ever be made in her class as long as you keep communication open and apply yourself! No book needed in her in person class!
SHE WAS AMAZING! Had her for 3W Summer course, it flew by. She had all the material up and ready first day. She really valued insightful discussion posts as well as responses to others. Really cared about our opinion on ongoing issues, and asked you to explain your position. Only 2 Tests, and alot of extra credit opportunities. Great Teacher.
Absolute best teacher I have had so far!
She was amazing! Her class always opened up with current event presentations (everyone has to sign up to present). Tip: powerpoint extra credit. The rest of the class was lectures but they were never boring. Three tests. All super easy. You don't really need the book if you print out her notes. The tests come directly from her notes. Take her!
Explained a lot and was very straightforward and was energetic seemed to enjoy what she did and I learned a lot in the class as well!
Mrs Brown is the BEST teacher I have ever had. She really cares about her students, and class is fun. Shes never in a bad mood, and always ready to teach. Every college needs a Cindy Brown
Cindy brown is an amazing professor, some may say she is a easy grade, but with all the information she gives and yet you still pass the test with flying colors.... Well it's just means she is great and really breaks it down. I took her in the morning and she was very energetic and I never had a problem staying awake! Also use her notes to study!!!
Her govt class is amazing! She is so charismatic and outgoing, she makes the material easy to understand. There was one essay but it was simple and not hard at all. The quizzes are over her notes so if you study the notes you will pass the tests. Great professor, her stories are very entertaining.
I took her online course during winter. There were 15 discussion boards, each requires 2 paragraphs long own post plus 1 paragraph long response to another student's post. 2 tests have 27 questions in total, each question requires one paragraph long answer. Also 2 pages essay. A lot of extra credit opportunities. GREAT PROF
This was an easy online government class. The professor understands that you have a life outside of college. You will have about 12 chapters to read, 3 open book ch. test, 12 DB, & 1 paper. You get more points on your DB's (post or replies) if you can create an in depth conversation. Opinion based course. She's always available for questions.
Her lectures are interesting. She tells interesting course-related stories in class as well. Throughout the course, there will be 3 tests (super easy), 1 term paper and class participation/attendance. She also keeps SI sessions every week worth 10 points each. She is very helpful in and out of class.
She is the most amazing professor any one could have for Govt!!! Her class is pretty straight forward! Believe me!! You will pass if you do what she says! She offers A LOT of extra credit so there is no way you can get anything below a B+! Love her crazy stories too!
Cindy Brown is a great Professor. She goes over each chapter with slides that is pretty much from the book. If you take good notes , you will pass her class. She also have an SI session, if you fall behind and need help.
Professor BROWN IS AWESOME! Took her online for 2305 & 2306! Online class is very organized, it does consist of a lot of writing but nothing too difficult . If your struggling please let her know she accepts late work and is willing to work with you! Just be prepared to read and write! Oh and for 2305 text book is online FREE! (:
She is an amazing professor, she is really passionate about government !! She is like a real leslie knope( ref to parks and rec). I took her for GOVT 2305 and we did not need to buy the book , textbook online for free. Technically you do not need to read the textbook she goes over the material and uploads her teacher notes. Just go to her lecture.
This is the best government teacher I have ever had. She really does care a lot about her students and people in general. She has the best energy and vibe when she comes in the class. I really enjoyed learning from her. This teacher also makes it easier to learn with great slides and lectures. Just overall the best and definitely take her class.
Professor Brown is AWESOME! Took her online class for 2305 & 2306, One was a flex term. Book is online & FREE! Her online class is very organized and if you fall behind just communicate with her, she will work with you! Online class does contain a lot of writing (discussion boards/test) but nothing too difficult. Just be prepared to write. EASY!
TAKE HER! I cant imagine a better professor for Government. There are LOTS of extra credit, so it is easy to get an A (if you do all the work). There are many discussion boards each week (as homework) and about 4 open book tests. If you have any questions on any assignments, she emails you back fast and tells you what she looks for. Take her!!
She is the best teacher I've ever had!!
Took this course online during Summer 1 and got a 108! So easy to get an A. About 4 discussion boards a week but they're opinionated so they're not hard. There is a paper about the death penalty that is easy and so interesting, and 2 tests that are 10 questions but free response/opinionated like the discussion boards! Extra credit is available too.
Take her class! She is the absolute best professor. Her class isnt difficult and she always has an interesting story to tell. Shes very understanding and gives lots of extra credit.
I will not say that she is hard, but there is a lot of writing involved! The test are 10 questions ALL ESSAY questions. Also, there are several posts & responses during the week so if you have a busy schedule I would not take her class. Warningshe is very slow at grading although every Friday she would write a post to the class to say she will ha
Everyone should take a class with Ms Brown. I took this class since it is required but it was my favorite class at El Centro! She is the best teacher and her lectures are hilarious and she actually made me understand government. If you don't show up to class she will ask you where you were so attend but you don't ever want to miss her class!
If you ever have a chance to take her class TAKE IT! This lady is the best. I wish all of my professor were like her. I had no interest in government before this class and she made me want to be in class. At 8 am! Take her class and you will be inspired. I had a hard semester personally and she noticed that and go me thru it. Shes the best!
Cindy Brown is an amazing teacher if I could take her for all my law related classes I would her lectures are engaging and interesting all of the material she covers does end up on the tests but she also goes over everything thoroughly and publishes her notes and presentations online you do however need to attend class to understand them
Dr. Brown is my favorite professor at El Centro. She keeps me awake at 8 am. I love her class and wish she taught other classes. She is awesome! I had some personal issues this semester and she is helping me stay in the class. I really appreciate Dr. Brown and her kindness.
shes a great professor I would take her class again !!!
Awesome Professor and a great Lawyer too... This is one Woman who knows her Government.. I would recommend that for your first year here at El Centro to enroll in her class.. I guarantee if you have never ever voted in your life this class will make you want to go out and vote for sure
An amazing soul and will make sure you not only learn the material but also make you feel included. Talks about topics that are actually interesting! Made me so interested in political science, great humor too
I took this course for a flex term online, and it was pretty easy. It was a sprint to finish course and we were to do 17 discussion boards, 3 exams and a paper. The course didn't require too much time and it worked out fine. Good professor and easy grader. I'd recommend.
Professor Brown should be REQUIRED for life - she will change yours. She tells the best stories. I had my class done online during the Carona pandemic and she does a weekly Zoom Meeting and I feel really connected. So glad we have El Centro and Professor Brown.
I took professor Brown for summer school 2020. I didn't regret, however, there are tons of work ahead. Don't procrastinate , do the work as scheduled or you will be behind easily. Otherwise, professor Brown is helpful and the materials is really interesting. I learned a lot from her class and the eBook she gave it to us..
During this time of Carona online Professor Brown gets it - she checked in with me and encouraged me to keep turning in my assignments. I wish I could hug this woman because I will graduate thanks to her keeping me going in my classes.
I love love Professor Brown! her class is super super easy!! 14 Discussion boards and 2 unit essay exams. There is no way you cannot make an A in her class. I wish she was my professor for all of History classes! she is the most amazing nicest teacher ever I love her and wish I meet her in person. Took her online for spring because of COVID.
I wish I had Ms. Brown for all of my classes. She sends these really good vibe emails during the week and it kept me on track. She gets her students. Because of the pandemic it was all online but I wish I had her in person because I bet she would be even better. Take her class and you will learn a lot and feel really good about yourself!!!!!!!!
I have never written a review but this woman deserves one. I cannot believe how much she did for us in an online course. I wish it was live because it would be even better I bet. She emailed the class all the time and replied to messages. Our class text was blown away by how she paid attention to us. You will not regret working with Ms Brown.
I loved Professor Brown, she makes everything accessible and has clear grading criteria. Follow her instructions on all assignments and tests, expect a good outcome! Nothing big just 17 DBs, 3 tests, 1 PPT project, and beware writing is enforced here 24/7 but you'll be fine! I met her through video conferencing, she is very friendly and sweet!
I loves taking her class it was very easy. her assignments were ok but as a person she was always happy and always saw the good in things. She is very understanding and will give you extra time to do her assignments just let her know and I know she will be more than happy to do so. She is always down to help no matter what.
I just took a May Term course with her online and she is totally awesome. I wish I could take other courses with her or had known about her before I took 2306. Review says she is easy but it is not that she is easy - she is just totally organized and tells you expectations on day 1 - she makes it easy for you to do government class.
Ms Brown is so nice. I fell behind due to personal problems and she actually noticed and helped me get caught up. She is the best. She helped me finish my class and wrote me a recommendation. Ms. Brown is the best!!
Miss Brown really cares about her students. I had a hard time this summer due to personal issues and she has been helping me on Microsoft Teams to get caught up. I am in an online course and I wish all of my professor were like her because a lot did not understand. Everyone should work with Miss Brown. And she loves the class and I love it now.
I love Ms Brown! Take her classes!
Miss Brown is just great. She cares about her students. She is so funny and has good stories and made me understand government. I think students should take her classes because she teaches you government but also about how to talk in front of the class. That was hard for me but I did it and felt real good about myself!
Professor Brown is great. The hype is true. She always brings it to the lectures and our small group talks made me THINK. She really cares about students. I hope I can take her for more classes. I heard about her and then meeting her is a WOW. I recommend.
Dr. Brown is the best. She gets us as students and she checked in with me when I was in class because she thought I needed help and I did because I was having a hard time at home. She noticed me. She is a unicorn of teachers. I wish I could take her for every class. She hooked me up with college services and I am going to finish her course!
Dr. Brown is the best! I am taking her online for Winter Term and I have never worked with a better teacher. She makes you work but she sets it all up the first day. It is a lot of work but she worked with me since I have asked for more time on assignments and she is working with me. Take her courses - she is the best!
Professor Brown is an incredible professor! She is very caring, helpful, and organized. I took her class over 8 weeks, and she designed the class so that there is plenty of time to work on the discussion boards and tests. This is class will help you grow in critical thinking and writing skills. Would highly reccomend to any student!
Ms. Brown is the best - I wish she taught every class. She explains stuff I thought was hard when I learned it in high school that is now easy to understand because this lady breaks it down and now I get it. She is also a really cool woman. She has kids and tells you about her kids. I liked hearing about her life - fun class!
Ms Brown is a great lady. She really loves her job and I hope I find a job I love as much as she does. Her stories are cool. This woman is hilarious. You should take her class. I have it at 8 am and that is early since I work nights but she has a lot of energy and she makes me want to attend. She keeps us awake in her class!
Professor Brown's Texas Government class is a must take! We are working on the death penalty now and she s working us thru people she has worked with on death row. We are all presenting on people on death row and using a website she gives us to vote as jurors. I had to give her a rating because she is making this so cool. Take her class!
Dr Brown is great. I took her for Texas Government this spring and she is awesome. I am taking her Federal Government in the fall. She is hilarious and she really gets all of us. She cares about her students. She helped me with my resume because I did not have one and I got a summer job. The hype is true she is the bomb.
Miss Brown was so organized in my online May Term class so I had to write a review. She posts everything Day 1 so you know exactly what is expected of you. She is flexible on deadlines if you keep in touch so she knows you are on the ball. I am taking her live class in the fall for 2305 because I hear her live classes are great. Great teacher!
Professor Brown is a wonderful professor! She is caring and truly wants her students to suceed. I took her online Texas Governmnet class over May Term, and it was actually quite mangable. As long as you put in some effort, you will do great and learn a lot!!
The hype is true - I cannot believe how great this class is - online and so clearly done and all ready the first day so I could work at my own pace. And her inspirational messages each week were so good for me. And she emails you back fast with questions. I heard about her classes from my 4 year school - so glad I did - she is GREAT!
Take her class. This lady is the best. She gives you extra time and is so nice. Email her for help or questions and she replies. I cannot wait to see her in person for 2306. Online was great and I cannot wait to meet her in person. She has such a good vibe
This woman is the bomb. She is so cool to us high schoolers in college classes. She makes me feel so smart. I wish she taught every class. She pushes me real hard and I was frustrated at first but I am writing this because a friend spoke the other day in class and everyone clapped for him and it made him feel so good. Everyone should take her.
The best online course I've ever taken. Take this class. You won't regret it. She is awesome, work is easy and structured very nicely. Took the 8-week course, there are 14 discussion boards (very easy, all opinionated), 2 tests, and 1 project over a discussion board topic of your choice. Tests are short answer and easy. Very caring professor!
Love the teaching style. It really keeps my attention, unlike other classes that can be boring.
Professor Brown is fantastic! Her classes are challenging but super rewarding. The lectures are engaging, and she's always willing to help. Unstuck ai was a lifesaver for my study prep - highly recommend!
She the BEST professor to ever have. She cares so much about what you learn, your grade, and as a student overall. The homework was super easy because her lectures make them easy. Group activities and projects lets you understand what she's teaching so much better and this is coming from a person who always hated government. she made me love it.
This was a normal 16 week course, she only had 1 discussion board due every week, 3 test and 1 ppt project. As long as you do the work, and do good critical thinking on your exams, then you are able to ace this class with no problem :)
