She is extremely helpful, and lectures are interesting. She makes it very clear what she wants from you. The tests are not too difficult if you go to class and pay attention.

One of the best family studies teachers. Very funny, adds in a lot of stories from her own life. Enjoyed all of the classes I have taken with her. (At least 4).

Awesome Teacher.

She is, indubitably, one of the very finest professors I have ever studied under. After I graduate, I am going to take her courses for fun (as well as to learn, of course)! If you have the option to take any of her courses, then you should. You will learn

One of my all time favorite professors. She is the Best! She is not easy, but you will learn something.

She is hilarious! We spent most of the time in that class laughing at her stories. Her tests were not that difficult if you're prepared. We even took one test together as a class!

I've had her for quite a few classes and she is so funny! She really knows how to hold your attention and the stories she tells are great. I'm a family studies major so hopefully I get to take a lot more of her classes in the future.

I can't say enough about her! She's awesome! Her class is really easy and you won't even mind going to the lectures! She's hilarious and the things you learn are really interesting.

I have taken about 5 classes with this prof! She is the best prof I have ever had at ASU! I have never enjoyed going to a class as much as hers! Awesome awesome awesome you just have to go to class and its an easy A!

She was the best teacher I have ever had!!!So interesting and beautiful too!

She is one of the best professors I have ever had! She is hilarious and has a wonderful way of keeping the class's full attention every lecture. She's very willing to help, and her tests are not that bad at all. I look forward to taking more classes from her!!!

She is a great teacher. She is funny but also incredibly intelligent and helpful. Her tests were somewhat difficult but if you were in class and did your readings you should be fine. I really enjoyed this class.

This Professor is a good teacher. Her lectures are very fun. She makes jokes and keeps you interested. However, there is a lot of reading and the test can be hard. But, if you show up to class you should do fine :)

I have had Denise for FAS 330 and FAS 431 and I have to say that she is one the best teachers I have ever had. She pushs you to learn but the great thing about her classes is that you actually learn something.

BEST TEACHER EVER! i want to take every class ever with her. there is a bit of work but its fun and she makes you want to do it! bu far best class ever taken

In class assignments for attendance. Discussions are extremely interesting, she makes them fun and upbeat. Denise is a great teacher, willing to do anything we students have to do. Gives study guides for each test, and super helpful if you have any questions/issues. Definitely recommend taking her.

One of the most interesting classes I have taken at ASU. She is hilarious and makes her lectures fun. A lot of reading is involved to study for her exams but as long as you study you usually will do well on her tests. Deff take this class!!

Awesome teacher... very funny and professional at the same time. The class was easy as long as you went to class and read the books. The information was repetitive and not hard to learn, but it was necessary to know for the tests. 3 tiny papers, which were easy, and 4 tests, including the final. The final was not cumulative.

She provides a good amount of help and you can tell she wants all her students to succeed. All you need to do is pay attention and do the assignments. Her lectures were always interesting, I reccomend her.

Great teacher! super helpful and inspiring! She isn't going to give you an easy A But she is the most fair teacher I have ever had when it comes to grading. She truly cares about her students, and is always available. She makes classes interesting and fun. Doesn't assign busy work. This is one of the very few GREAT teachers out there! :)

This teacher is remarkable! Truly one of the BEST teachers at this school, if not the best. She is so genuine and passionate about her job and uses every means of educational tools to ensure you fully comprehend the lesson. She responds to any questions or concerns immediately, and does not hesitate to help you until you get it. Hard work=easy A+

Best teacher at ASU. Makes learning fun, and she cares about your success. Take every class you can with her.

I wish all professors were like her! It's nice to have a professor who thinks of her students as her own children!The class itself was extremely fascinating! The assignments (3 reports) were very informative and fun! Take this class...YOU DEFINITELY WON'T REGRET IT. ;D

She is a really good teacher and it is really important you good to class. She only lets you miss class three time before it starts counting against you. She also gives a profesionalism grade and that is part of going to class. I would highly advise you to take a course with this teacher. She is nice she is funny and she is helpful.

AMAZING TEACHER! She made me even more into my major. She genuinely cared for her students and it shows in her teaching. lecture topic great as well.

Oh wow she is the BEST teacher I have ever had! The class is super interesting and you will really enjoy going to class! TAKE HER IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE!!!

Very interesting class, she has great lectures. Three written projects. Good grader (make sure you take time to proof read, she doesn't like being the grammer police). Go to class- there are in class assignments (as long as you are there you get credit). Exams are decent- study guides provided. I highly recommend!

One of the funniest people I've ever met. I don't think there's anyone who doesn't adore her.

Denise was a good teacher over all I just missed alot of classes so I didnt get all of the material. As long as you got to class and take notes you will be golden! Make sure you never miss class after a test. She picks 10 questions (that she tells you) from all 5 tests and that is your final!!

Great professor. Test are easy if you go to class and read the book. Interviews are enjoyable and easy. Always answered my e-mails. She made the class, and subject (FHD), interesting.

Great class! Denise is funny and makes class enjoyable. You must attend class and read the textbook (and comprehend it) to do well on the tests. It is very possible to get an A in the class. She always responded to my e-mails fast. Great teacher, great class. I definitely recommend it.

A MUST TAKE professor, she is smart, funny and so likable. Attend class, read the textbook and an A is guaranteed. GREAT, GREAT, teacher.

This wasn't a hard class but there is a lot of time spent on it. There was a lot of reading, I would say she expects you to read every word she assigns (which is at least 3/4 of the textbook and online journals.) A lot of review is needed before test time because her questions are very specific (always multiple choice) sometimes she gives answers.

She is a great teacher! She is hilarious and really cares about her students! Her first couple tests are a breeze! You do need to read the textbook in order to do the weekly quizzes! I am extremely glad I took her class. I ended up with an A and really liked her a lot.

what a pleasure it was to have professor bodman....i absolutely enjoyed this class, she is a wonderful and funny professor and she really furthered my interest in this subject....i would definitely recommend her to anyone and would take her again :)

I absolutely adored Professor Bodman! The class was pretty easy, but she made it so interesting. She is extremely knowledgeable about what she is talking about and engaging as well. If you have to chance, take one of her classes!

I took her for two classes and enjoyed both a lot. It was hard to take her for more then one class bc the tests are on the same days. She responds very fast to emails. She is understanding about personal situations. You can tell her beliefs in some instances, but for the most part speaks from a general stand point. Classes were hard but interesting

Denise is my favorite professor thus far. She suggests that her students call her by Denise although she has her PhD., which reflects her desire to build an open relationship with her students. She teaches in a professional and interesting manner. She teaches from a non-biased viewpoint and teaches the importance of cultural competence.

Denise is the most amazing professor I have had in the past four years that I have been at ASU. She is incredibly funny and will keep you interested throughout the entire course. She is also super open about others beliefs even if they are not her own and definitely teaches students to be accepting of others as well. Loved her class!

Amazing teacher! Although it takes a level of maturity and willingness to adapt to truly appreciate Dr. Bodman, it is well worth the effort. She provides great insight and a true passion for the subject matter. Take this class (or any other from her, this was my 3rd)! If you're open minded and a hard working student, you won't have a bad time :)

Honestly one of the most wonderful teacher at ASU. I loved taking her class and would recommend her to anyone. Her lectures are really clear and she has your best interest in mind the whole time. Not only an awesome teacher but also an awesome person.

Denise was amazing!!! She not only made lecture interesteing and easy to understand but you wanted to go to her class. I felt she was accepting to all religions, sexual orientation and mindsets; even if she disagreed with it. She is a great teacher and listener!

My absolute favorit teacher at ASU. She makes you want to come to her class and makes sure you understand concepts perfectly. She is funny and animated and I would reccommend her classes to anyone!

She really is the e-mail queen! Of the several times I've e-mailed her. I got a reply almost instantly!

Excellent professor. The textbooks were a little challenging, but it's an upper level course. I took the online version of this course and she spoke slowly enough that no pausing was necessary to follow and write down key points. She's passionate about what she does and it shows. I will definitely take another course with her.

I really enjoyed this class. This is my second time taking a course with Denise Bodman and I have nothing but good things to say about her. She is a really great and competent professor. I took this class online and although the course itself was quite difficult, Denise made it fun and interesting. I would take all my courses with her if I could!

Professor Bodman is the best professor that I have ever had. She is nice and makes sure that all of her students learn. She makes everything very interesting and is very knowledgeable. I am even more interested in infant development now than before I took her class. Her classes provided me with so much information that I needed for my job.

Fantastic teacher! She cares about her students and is willing to help if they need it. I have taken more than one class with her and all were great! She really knows her stuff!

I love Denise! took this class along with FAS 431, both online, and loved both. Her lectures are comprehensive and interesting, and easy to take notes on. Fair grader, but there is a lot of work required. Do the reading and assignments and you'll be fine.

FANTASTIC professor. Super nice, knows her stuff, fairly easy class (although there is kind of a lot of reading that you should probably do) I am taking another class with her this fall!

Best online class ever!!Interesting material and she makes it even more interesting through her voice over powerpoints. The assignments are easy and fun. She is awesome! I wish all my professors liked teaching as much as she does.

Super easy class. Took in person and although we had to take test in person in a computer lab, she let us use a 1 page "cheat sheet" where we could write whatever we wanted. She encourages a lot fluffy personal examples, but lectures straightforward as are weekly quizzes & assignments. Gives tons of extra credit opportunities and is very sweet.

She's incerdibly nice and caring, the class was by far the easiest class I had ever taken.

She is an extremely good teacher. She is really funny and is very intelligent. The reading is kind of hard but she is always there to help if you have questions. You get to do a really cool family history project and it is life changing. I definitely recommend this class.

She was very funny, caring and willing to help you pass the class. I went to her every wk and she helped tremendously with how to succeed in her class. However, her exams were hard to study for b/c you don?t know if it's from the book or her own lecs. Also, wkly quizzes were a pain. Overall, I learned a lot in this class and I recommend taking her.

While this class may seem to have busy work, as long as you keep track fit and have motivation, you can easily get it done (even while working 30hrs a week!) I appreciated the different studying techniques every exam because it reminded me that I really needed to understand the material to do well. I estimate that I put in ~70hrs & I recv'd an A+

She wants everyone in the class to do well. you need to read your book. but quizes are on line not in class. few papers due but are all pretty easy and she gives you more than enough time to do them. I loved her and would take her again!

I took her 8 week course and it was pretty intense! a lot of reading and writing. be careful on the writing assignments..some assignments are real "papers" and some are just papers so she is not real clear of what is expected but she is pretty nice...i guess that makes for it?

She is a wonderful teacher who wants her students to do well. While the tests are very hard, the work is fun and easier than most 400 level classes. Quick to respond to email and very uplifting and positive in her feedback. I would take any class I could from her as she is a very knowledgeable teacher who loves what she does and it shows. Pick her!

Great professor...you will learn a lot in this class and enjoy the subject matter as well. I took her online courses (Infant Development and Family Diversity).

I took this class online. It wasn't too difficult, but it definitely was not easy. I did not put full effort into it and got a B. If you follow the books and lectures and take notes/fill out the study guides on everything, you can do well. It just takes some time and expect to put 3+ hours a week into it to get a B and more for an A. Recommend it

Lots of work, but not too hard. Has a very clear "roadmap" to help you succeed. She is very organized and I recommend her as a professor.

He is hilarious. Very fun and interesting class. You HAVE to read the textbook to do well in this class. Other than that, loved it.

She is by far the best professor I have ever had. She is very fair. We had assignments that were easy and fun to do. She engages and interacts with the class. She makes everything clear. If you read the books, you will do fine. Exams ranged from 4-6 chapters. she has a contagious laugh. Sit in the front, every lecture is like an comedy show.

She is by far the best professor I have ever had. She is very fair. We had assignments that were easy and fun to do. She engages and interacts with the class. She makes everything clear.

Great teacher, she is so enthusiastic about her lectures and you do not want to miss them. She really knows how to make sure we understand the material and enjoy it. She is hardcore about the essays and tests, but that is just because she wants you to do well and actually learn something.

She is a nice lady, but she will get carried away with a particular topic and spend all but 5 minutes of the entire class period on it. She's very opinionated, and has a good sense of humor, but sometimes she wastes class time on trivial things.

Dr. Bodman is the best professor I have ever had. I came into the class just to get a cultural credit and ended up loving it. She is clear and fun, allows discussions, and presents the material interestingly. The tests are easy if you read, do the study guide and come to class. The only other thing we turn in are some assignments for a portfolio.

Took her online and loved how it was set up! Her exams are hard because it's not set-point, basically have to internalize and apply the material but gives plenty of easy assignments. Hated the Lock-Down Browser she makes us use, messed up my laptop occasionally. Overall nice prof, easy class and fun.

GREATEST PROFESSOR AT ASU!!! Dr. Bodman sets everyone up for A's. Each Unit has a roadmap, studyguide and practice quizzes. I think I missed 4 gradepoints the entire semster! She is very caring and loves teaching! Could not ask for a better instructor - too bad she does not teach more classes :)

Greatest instructor at ASU!!!

I took this class online and it is very demanding. Dr. Bodman expects A LOT from you! Plan to spend between 10-15 hours a week reading, watching lectures, and doing assignments for this class. Tests are timed and difficult. I studied my butt off and still only received at B-. Good luck!

Such a sweet teacher! Although I have taken many other family studies classes, this professor is one of the best. Although her exams are a little difficult, she always adds on extra points at the end. She is genuinely a fair grader and as long as you remember to take the online exams on time, you're golen :)

She truly enjoys teaching and it shows. I loved taking this class. Work was a suitable amount. I am taking another course with her next semester!

Great teacher! She dropped lowest exam score, added 2-5 points to each test plus a bonus 5 points to our grades. She does not round but only because she bumps you up almost a whole letter grade! She has more assignments than some other teachers but it helps fully understand the material and it is not hard. Will take her again!

Bodman is an amazing! Lectures are not boring!She gave great examples for all questions. She told us exactly what to study. If you go to class and read the book, you'll be fine on the exams. Interview papers we did were a difficult for me tho.If you show go to her in advance, she is very helpful on what to include. If you like the topic take her!

her tests are half lecture, half out of the book. She makes this clear before each test. Her lectures are great, you can tell she really enjoys what she does. I've had her for cde232 and in her online class cde430. she is by far a fave teacher. keep up with the reading, go to class, and do the assignments. Every point counts in her classes!

Took her class online. She makes great video lectures, very easy to follow. As an engineering student I had 0 interest in this topic, but found it surprisingly interesting and learned a lot. As long as you do all the assignments and take good notes from all the lectures you should do well. It's made clear what is expected on the exams.

She is one of the best professors at ASU. I took her online class and loved it. She is an awesome lecturer, uses a variety of learning materials-book reading, videos, articles, and lectures to really make sure you learn the information. The tests are pretty straight forward and she always adds extra points at the end. DEF TAKE HER CLASS!

Great professor, outlines her expectations. Exams are difficult- don't slack off, do all the readings, complete all assignment, & take her 'optional quizzes' (HINT HINT: YOU'LL SEE THESE QUESTION AGAIN ON THE EXAM)!

I loved this professor! I started as a psych major and switched to family and human development because of her classs. The lectures were interesting and interviews of lifespan was very interesting and easy! She gives extra credit for attendace and curves all exams! Study, read the text and take notes to get an A. Fair teacher.

I love this professor! Her class required a lot of reading (online articles, two textbooks, etc), but her personality is great. I looked for her classes when I enrolled for the fall. Don't expect to do well unless you read the material and understand it, but it's definitely a class worth taking.

man this class is TOUGH. shes a great teacher but its some heavy workload. enjoyed her class but it is definitely not an easy a

I took child abuse intervention and prevention from her. While the class is brand new and still under construction, I have loved every class I have ever taken from Denise. She is the best professor I have had at ASU. Loves what she does and really wants you to succeed. Always willing to help. Do readings go to class and you'll be on the right track

I'm currently taking infant/toddler development with Denise. I took FAS 370 with her last semester and she is by far one of the best professors I've had. The materials she uses help clarify what you learn and her lectures (online) are always informative and interesting. I highly recommend her.

Denise is very helpful, ad even though this is an online class she wants all of her students to succeed. This class has a lot of busy work, put if you put in some effort an A is definitely attainable. It is not too hard, and she gives you all the tools you need to succeed. The material is interesting and so is Denise, I would recommend her class!

Overall, a very solid teacher, this class has more flexibility and trust than her other classes. She was really organized and knew a lot about the topic, but you do have to work to get the grade. she is also very friendly and likes to chat a lot. She really wants her students to do well.

Professor Bodman was extremely helpful even though the class was online. She responded in a timely manner all the time. I don't see why others complain that the class is lots of busy work and the tests are on a lockdown browser as the class is upper-division. It's supposed to be difficult. It's supposed to take time. I worked hard and got a B.

I wouldn`t recommend if your a full time students b/c at times its overwhelming.shes gives ALOT of lectures aprox. 10-20 pgs.shes pretty legit all the homework is straight from the book, some test questions arent whats covered in readings. class is out of 250 points. 4 exams worth 50 points each and assigments all total to 50. I passed with a C+.

Ignore all the bad things about Bodman. She's is there for her students. I struggled in the beginning but in the end I pulled through with a C. Take good notes through the lectures and READ YOUR BOOKS! An A is possible if you put in the work.

Barrett student here - Denise is a wonderful and super nice professor. Lectures were interesting and she wants to help you succeed. Textbooks can be a bore and assignments can be a little tedious but it's worth it in the end. Fairly easy tests and an insanely easy honors contract (read: 2-page essay). Ended up with an A+!

Powerpoints for the lectures are not provided. She says powerpoints are to keep her organized. Take good notes. You will need them to study for exams. Write everything down,read the chapters carefully. Exams are in class and closed book and notes. Pay close attention and study well. First exam she helps out but the rest you are on your own.

Her lectures are interesting, but they tend to be long! Two textbooks are required, and its a lot of work. Do not take the 7.5 week course unless you have time because it requires a lot of work. The test are hard, and you are being video through a web cam while you take the test. Overall its a good class but not an easy A.

I took the 7.5 version of this class and looking back it honestly was not that bad. Professor Bodman loves what she does, and it made listening to lectures enjoyable. You do need to read the book though. She makes it easy though with her study guides. If you watch the lectures, complete assignments and fill out the study guide you will be fine.

I loved this course and this professor! This was one of the most interesting courses I have taken so far. The course is tough & she does video monitor during the exams but if you truly care about your education & take it seriously, this course should be easy. I received A's on all exams & assignments. Professor truly cares about her students.

I took this as a 7.5 week long online course, and couldn't wait until it was over. Every week there are multiple assignments, videos to watch (each of which are an hour long), and long readings. Her expectations for the tests are unclear, although extra credit is usually given, it was a ton of work!

She is the best... this class is a boring subject, but she makes it SO MUCH FUN TO GO TO CLASS. She is soo funny, amazing lectures. If you have the perfect class (students) with this teacher, you will be sad when the class ends !! she is THE BEST.... Test are a little hard but if you take notes and read the book, you will be golden !!

I love Professor Bodman! She is such a sweet lady and her classes are really enjoyable. I have taken two online classes (one 7 week course, the other 14 weeks) and both were great. After taking 7 week courses the 12 week course is SO easy and fun! She is a great professor and you won't be disappointed! She genuinely cares about her students.

She explains the material well and the lectures are really interesting. You do have to read the book to know all the material for the exams. She is very willing to help anyone if they have any misunderstandings. She is fair.

Im nota FAS major n loved her class! Shes not an easy teacher, but shes a fantastic one. Her explanation of concepts is clear and concise, her tests are difficult if you dont study and READ THE TEXTS, but she will sometimes do things to help the class. She truly cares about our success. I found her inspirational, funny, and an allround great person

LOVED this class! Make sure to read your textbooks and come to class for lectures!

Only teacher I've ever had that uses RLB with webcam. So you are recorded while taking exams... You can't look away from screen! Your also recorded through a microphone. So don't have people around you while taking exam. It it was very invasive. I wouldn't have taken the class if I had known about this. Other than that class was ok.

I love her! Lectures are funny and the work load isn't the worst. But you def have to read the chapters to get good grades on the exams.

I took this class last year but wanted to make sure I left a review on here. Shes one of my favorite teachers I've had at ASU. She got the material done but had a sense of humor, was kind of sarcastic, and funny. I enjoyed the class and her! If you attend the class, it should be pretty easy to get a good grade.

By far one of my favorite professor's at ASU. Denise does a great job covering all material while making the lectures enjoyable. Take note and read the chapters in the books and you will get an A.

Dr. Bodman has hard tests and uses Respondus Lockdown Browser. The tests are curved a point or two. The grading criteria is somewhat confusing. The book is essential to passing the exams (which are usually open book/note, but not always) because there are a lot of tricky/unclear questions. You learn a lot, but don't take this class for an easy A.

I understand that this is a 400-level course, but the workload for this class was ridiculous. I also understand that she doesn't want students cheating on exams, which I'm all for, but the required Respondus browser was over the top and made me anxious. This was supposed to be my fun class, but wound up being a big headache. Would not recommend.

Online lectures are excessively long. She really wants her students to understand the material. Reading the textbook is a MUST if you want to pass the exams.

Bodman has great energy in her online lectures and prepares you for the boring topics! She gives lots of extra credit and is amazing. Although I know I could have gotten a better grade this was an easy class. Make sure you read the material or else you won't do well!

Denise is very organized, gets test grades back quickly. She is passionate about what she teaches and I think that is the best part about having her as a teacher. She is easy to talk to and responds to emails right away. She keeps lectures interesting and incorporates personal stories.

Professor Bodman is an excellent teacher that holds a high intelligence for what she teaches. She is an expert when it comes the information presented in this class. This is a tough class, the exams are hard, but this is a 430 College class so it's to be expected. It's perfectly doable, especially when this professor wants you to succeed.

She gives extra points after tests and random participation points. She tells stories about her own life that is interesting. I get really bored in this class though. You have to really pay attention because all your notes are from what she says its not in the powerpoint. definitely take notes on a laptop its faster for you.

Denise rocks!! She is a great professor, and she cares about everyone. I took her online, yet she was still the most helpful professor I had. There is a lot of reading, but she provides study guides. You can take the quizzes unlimited times to get the best score possible. Exams are hard & uses respondus lockdown camera, but lets you use book!

I really enjoyed coming to class. Her lectures are engaging and she often gets student feedback to understand what helps us learn. As long as you read the textbook chapters before each test and are at the test reviews you will do well. Beware of the VERY time consuming genealogy project that is due.

I didn't really experience her as an instructor personally since it was an online course, but from her emails and lectures, she's a sweet grandma who really cares about the subject. She grades generously. Make sure to read the books (it's worth it if you're interested) to do well on the quizzes and get the most out of the class.

Enjoyed this professor, however not a big fan of her exams. Exams are based mostly on outside reading and she tends to pick super specific questions from the several pages of reading. I still ended up with an A, but definitely make sure to read the textbook(s). She often allowed us to have open note tests (but just depended).

Not going to lie, Professor Bodman is an amazing teacher. And she knows her stuff. I wish I would've bought the books at the beginning of the semester though. About halfway through I finally realized I need the books to pass the class, which you WILL need to pass. Exams are open book & open note. Check online often for email updates.

Denise was awesome! Actually study the material, pay attention in class, take notes and go to class and you'll get an A no problem. Unfortunately for me i out this class on the back burner to all my other courses, but if you learn the material you'll pass no problem. She's a funny and engaging teacher she made lectures fun.

Dr. Bodman is a good teacher overall. Her lectures are interesting and the content is good. I feel like she over compensates for the class being online, however. You need to use LockdownBrowser for tests and she takes the content offline the day of the test. Make sure you take notes and have a way to review, or else you'll lose all the lectures.

Ive taken 2 of Denises classes and both were interesting, but also difficult. You have to read the textbook to pass because half the exam is lecture other half is book. She uses respondus monitor but will often allow open note. I really enjoy this professor and would recommend her classes.

Her lectures are very interesting. The majority of her grades come from the 4 tests over the semester. The first test she let us take in groups, the second test she let us take in groups and use our notes. Because of this I stopped attending class and for the third test it was individual and closed notes so don't make the same mistake I did.

This has been my favorite professor so far. She outlines her expectations very clearly! If you take good lecture notes, you'll do absolutely fine on the tests! She is super nice, friendly, funny, and understands the diversity of the students and respects everyone's points of view. She makes the material interesting and easy to understand.

Her online course was amazing: straightforward and interesting material! Must keep up and stay on top of the material since the tabs go down. DEFINITELY need the text books. Open note exams and she lays out the material for you before so you know what is on the test. Enthusiastic and positive personality, & responds to email fast!

Dr Bodman is a gem. She is so friendly and easy to approach, cares so much for her students, and makes class fun. She relates the topics she instructs to the world outside the class, and makes learning so fun. It is clear how much she truly cares for her class and her students. I would love to take her again.

Lectures are not posted to must come to class if you want notes. Listen closely while taking notes. There have been surprise extra credit when coming to class. Cute sense of humor (: test heavy because there are not really other assignments to even out the grade.

She is exceptional in her leading and guiding students towards success. Be proactive in your group and follow directions and you will do well. Quizzes are weekly, reading and watching videos is not optional for success!

I took an on-line class with Dr. Bodman, she is very clear with expectations and organized to help support assignments due dates. This class has a group final project that can cause some frustration, but would recommend meeting the class every week either by phone or video conference. The work is very inspirational.

She is a great person and I really enjoyed her class. However, her tests are unreasonably hard. I have a 3.9 gpa and I am averaging Cs on her tests. I always notice that the question can be very unclear and at times indirect. I would recommend the class because I have learned a lot and the material is interesting but just be aware that its hard.

She is an amazing professor who is really interesting to listen to but I and other people in the class have found the exams to be surprisingly difficult. I do all the readings and have never missed a class, but it still takes really rigorous studying to do even somewhat decently. However, she is helpful, and is very easy to contact outside of class

I have taken several classes with Denise, all of which contributed significantly to my knowledge base. If you read ANYTHING negative about Denise, it was certainly written by a student who did not apply themselves appropriately. Denise, was a signifcant support in my completing a masters and doctorate. I love and admire her very much.

This class is easy, but I had to take more notes than any other course for the quizzes (which require a webcam and installation of LockDown Browser, to prevent cheating). The group work wasn't a problem for me, because I had a good group, but I can imagine how it may be more difficult for others.

Great, interesting lectures but tests aren't outlined very well and lecture notes are not posted online. If you go to class you do get extra credit, the textbook is very helpful as some quizzes are based off it.

I'm honestly shocked by some of the comments on here. Yes it is a tough class but that's only because it is an UPPER DIVISION class. What else were people expecting? Everything is clearly stated on the syllabus so if you actually read the whole thing, take good notes on the lectures, and watch the videos/read the articles she posts, you'll be fine.

I loved her she was really sweet however unorganized some of the quizzes that are due weekly would usually be due at 11:59 but last minute itll be changed to 7:00pm then after 7 they switch it back to 11:59 which was really frustrating. But other than that the class was great the quizzes was easy and I loved her personality!

I really enjoyed taking Prof Bodman Spring of 2021, there was a good chunk of material but it was very interesting. Professor Bodman was very understanding and allowed me to resubmit assignments.

Easy A as long as you do your part, this class is about YOU. 2 book reviews(15pts), one page. Quizzes aren't too bad if you watch the lect. videos, videos provides and read textbook(10-12Q). Journals are simple & easy as long as you write and treat it as it was your real journal(5pts). Extra credit. She is really nice, supportive, loved her class.

This has been one of my favorite class that I have taken. I absolutely loves Denise. She is super relatable and kind. She makes the material relevant to each of our lives. To get a good grade on the tests, you need to take notes on the lectures and the book. She allows open notes on the tests. She is such a great teacher and I would recommend again

The class was fairly easy. However, it's not the end of the world if you do not attend class. But, if it becomes frequent it can be hard to pass the class because the PowerPoint won't make sense to you. It is very lecture-based, but don't forget about the pop quizzes. Overall, she is great.

Had her for LIA science of kindness. She was awesome! Super sweet and interesting! Would definitely recommend her and take another one of her classes.

Very kind, funny, and gentle woman. I really struggled with the coursework because the due dates were never at a consistent time. Some days you have assignments/quizzes due at 7PM, others due at 11:59PM, so lookout for those. The book reviews are the biggest part of your grade, so do them! Some quizzes had hardly anything to do w/ lecture.

Dr. Bodman was fantastic! Always a very engaging class environment with a wonderful and caring personality. Main source of grading comes from quizzes, which aren't difficult, but punishing if you aren't careful. Very understanding, and promotes the self-improvement of every student she has. Come in open minded, and you will have a wonderful time.

1-2 quizzes per week. Lockdown browser, 20 questions, and 30 minutes. 2 attempts per each quiz. Can use text (e-text as well) and notes on quiz. 1-3 interviews per week w about 6 questions/observations each. Only need to submit worksheet w answers observations/answer to questions for interviews. Plenty of extra credit. Usually 1-2 points per week.

Denise was great overall. I took this as an A session and although there was a lot of homework, it was fairly easy. She is really nice and easy to reach over email.

Be ready to use lockdown browser and 2 chapters a week. She is an amazing professor and definitely shows that she cares about the class. But the work load is very overwhelming especially with 4 other classes.

Denis is a caring teacher, with a wonderful, empathetic personality. Denis's way of talking to us all really helped me feel safe, untriggered, interested and relaxed throughout the whole 90 min lectures. One of my favorite classes I've taken.

The class was harder than I anticipated. Lots of reading and assignments due each week, and at least 1 if not 2 quizzes weekly plus Exams. She cares about her students and the material, so if you are struggling reach out to her or a TA.

Forever grateful for this teacher. She extended a deadline for me, and it saved my grade. A lot of work, but that class is super interesting.

She is passionate what she teaches about and encourages students to ask questions. Her slides could use some work as most of her slides have little text and you have to be in class and take notes to understand what is on the exams. 4 exams, quiz nearly every week, and assignments scattered throughout. Definitely use the textbook!
