She has a realy horrible Russian accent. She is very fast like she is on the 95 or turnpike, she never slows down. Very difficult to understand and not good at explaining. She grades you very hard as well. She penalizes you for every Ts not crossed & every I not dotted. She should have a career on a race track or something to that effect.
Great Teacher the course itself is super hard one of my hardest classes but she is very helpful and wants everyone to pass. I would recommend this teacher she works with you to pass the class!
She is very helpful and articulate. It's obvious she cares about her students and helping people learn.
She is tough and the work is not super easy but if you attend and do all of the work. She does work with you to pass.
This class was not easy but she will help you. Make sure that you double check on your punctuation and grammar because points will be deducted. Does not sugarcoat anything and she's really funny.
I find Professor Dina Durand to be a pinnacle model of teaching with not only her academic understanding, but with her boundless experience. I never sit there listening to her talk on and on. Professor Durand always involves us in group discussions, role-playing, technology projects, lesson planning, and other activities.
This professor is amazing, the class was not easy but she is beyond helpful. I would highly recommend this professor to anyone, she is very funny and keeps the class interesting, never makes you do busy work. Once she is done teaching for the night you are free to go. She does have an accent but you can understand her perfectly.
The class is very stressful. Make sure you check on grammar and punctuation. It is not an easy class.Do not slack, you will face the consequences. Sometimes the sincere ones suffer.
The class was convenient. I was happy it was oered Tuesdays in the pm. Things aren't too challenging, I missed the first few assignments due the early weeks of class. Two thumbs up. I have no complaints and have improved as a student because of 'er.
This professor is very tough. I never missed a classed. Never missed an assignment or discussion and she still failed me. All assignments, test and discussions are due on Saturdays because it is convenient for her. So if you work M-F full time, you don't have the weekend to do your HW. I don't recommend her. Please take another professor!
This professor will not give you a grade because you have to earn your grade. Very helpful in explaining the homework but at the same time she will not give you the answers to an assigned homework problem. I would recommend her because you actually learn.
She responds to email, grades fairly, and the online class is very manageable. I could have done better, but I got too relaxed. Make sure to follow her feedback instructions. She is also a stickler for grammar, which is expected in COLLEGE! If I decide to pursue a Bachelors degree and she offers a required class, I'll take it. She's good!
Great professor! I like that she is straight to the point and simple with her requirements. This is my 2nd class with her and I have capstone with her as well. Looking forward to the next half of the semester.
Absolutely amazing professor. She seems tough at first glance, and she is but to an extent. She is more then willing to help and is only looking to ensure your success. She is to the point and treats everyone equal. Do not attempt to bend the rules with late assignments, because you will fail. I personally loved her, her teaching style, and effort.
By far the BEST professor ever!!!Helpful, answers emails right away and very clear as to what is expected to do well in the course. I loved her style and tone. Awesome person!!!!! Must take her you will learn a lot.
Prof is very caring and engaged. She grades super fast and keeps communication open with you. Work in my class was due Sunday and not Saturday as someone else wrote. Assignments are very interesting and I learned a lot! Important: spelling, grammar, punctuation. Quizzes are no joke. Very Hard. I made all A's except quizzes which were C's & D's
Definitely made it to my list of amazing professors. Professor Durand is extremely clear on what she expects and tells you how to complete her assignments. Going to class is a must as she discusses all of this during class. Responds to emails almost instantly. Take her class and you won't be disappointed.
This is the last class for the program and she makes it worth while. It's not hard because she tells you exactly what she is looking for, but be sure to partner with good group members. The whole class is based off of work done as a group. Professor Durand is the BEST!
You can't ask for anything better with Professor Durand. Clear and to the point. Teaches you in class what she expects from you in the assignments. Gives her personal phone number for questions outside of class. responds to emails immediately and grades homework within a 12 hour span. No nonsense. Yes, she has an accent but it is very understandabl
Prof Durand, great teacher. She cares /want every student to learn the material. Group project which include a power point presentation - not bad as I thought it would be. She lectures on important topics/test review options - read book on own because there are 100 questions on test. She gives out personal ph # and respond right away to questions.
Dina Durand was a very good professor. I took strategic management and capstone project with her. I learned a lot in her class. She is NOT easy and she excepts professional grade work. Her instructions are clear. Her feedback is helpful. Working well in teams is a must to pass this class.
Professor Durand is very good for Operational Management. She explains the math questions in the class before the homework assignment is due. She provides a similar question to the one given in the homework. The tests are relatively easy. She will mark you down for grammar and punctuation so be warned. She is a good teacher. Take her.
Professor Durand knows her subjects & makes sure her students understand it as well. She quickly answer emails & is available online a lot. She outlines what, by when she wants, Give Examples, will help the group, just ASK HER! Group projects RULE these two classes! Stay in your industry for the second class & its easy, a workload tho! Be on time!
Prof. Durand has vast knowledge in Operations Management. Working in IT department, I can confirm that her examples are true to life experiences. She keeps the class engaged and focus' on those areas of Operations management that are a must for any manager to know. Do not hesitate to take her classes you will learn a lot!
she is not an expert in anything, just sticks to textbook.
I would take her class again. Very fair grader, class is easy, but a lot of reading. Just do the assignments, test and quizzes, you will do well. Cant wait to take another class with her.
Very fair grader and gave a lot of feedback for you to do better or resubmit. A lot of material and tests, but very straight forward. Homework was difficult, but she was always online and available to assist. She emails almost every day and does a great job keeping everyone up to date. So organized! Would definitely recommend her!
Professor durand is by far the best and easiest professor at BC. She is very lenient on grading discussions and assignments. Easy A just do the work with your group and do the discussions with APA format and you will get an A. I love her.
Easy A. Take with professor durand. You will not regret it. One of the best professors at BC. Easy A.
Awesome professor. She is always ready to help whenever you need her. Easy assignments. Fair grades. She always takes time to gives you good feedback. She is very inspiring and encouraging. However, if you are a slacker, you will think she is evil. I would take her again in the future, if I have to.
She is super nice. You will fall in love with her the way she gives feedback. She gives lots of easy homework. Make sure you never miss an assignment if you want to have an A.
MAN!!!! This professor is awesome, no exaggeration. I'm pretty good with online course and if you are too, def take her! She is very understanding and lenient. I took OST2501 OFFICE MGT ONLINE with her and it was the BEST experience. I swear!
I took her before and was happy to see her teaching this course. She is a reasonable grader and if you have any questions, she will respond to emails. I hope to have her again.
Great professor. Explains things clearly & when in doubt she is there to answer your questions. Will provide an example and tell you what she is looking for. The assignments & discussions are very time consuming & quite a bit of work but you will learn a lot from it. Best professor when it comes to email responses and grading of your work .
I took classes of hers before and will continue. She is great...
The best decision I've made in my college career was to do Capstone with Prof. Durand. I would highly rate her for her brilliance and excellent track record for immediate feedback on assignments, grades, emails and phone calls. She is dedicated to ensuring her students complete the program with a high level of knowledge and understanding. ea
Took Capstone. Warning: group project. Every assignment was able to be turned in early for corrections or to get back on track. Wonderful feedback, caring, and really wanted the student to succeed. She isn't easy, but I felt like that is a necessary evil for Capstone. I highly regard her, and recommend taking Capstone with her. A+
Best professor I've ever had. Very knowledgeable, professional, responds very quickly to you, and she will gladly explain any doubts you have. She is very dedicated to her students. It's no wonder she won a ''Professor of the Year'' award. Absolutely recommend her for as many courses as you can take with her. She is excellent and outstanding.
Ordinary, average, lackluster, so-so ...
In my entire college career (most of it online). I have never had a professor call my cell phone and explain about a paper that was submitted. It was the best and I will always remember. Professor Durand cares about her students and that is the best attribute for her to be a professor. I would take her again in a HEARTBEAT
I took this professor for Strategic Management and we had a group project plus several discussions. I have never had a professor that cared as much as she does/did. I would take her again in a heartbeat. She is a fair grader but fair and willing to help you succeed. She responds almost instantly to any email or discussion. I finished early
Terrible professor, Never again! I hate group projects and she gives feedback but the problem is she doesn't teach. She assumed we all knew what we were doing. Unfair grader. I wasn't expecting an A but our work was not C work. Luckily I passed with a B but I would never take her again.
She was ok. Nothing special. She has you post your work to other sites to do her work for her. Doesn't provide extra assignments to help give you a chance to improve while boosting your grade. Grades hard, which is fine but could be fairer, however, I learned more than I though I would. Lacked personality; even an online class appreciates that.
She's one of the best teacher at Broward College. If I could take her for all of my classes I would.
I took Bus Writing, Strategic Mgmt, and Capstone with professor Durand. Each class prepared me for the next (in this respective order). I got A's in all three classes, but you must do your part. She allows you to email your work for feedback prior to submitting it for final grading and she grades/responds very quickly.
Professor Durand is a very fair professor. I am going to be taking her for a total of 3 classes, and probably going to try and get her for capstone. She is straight forward about her grading. She even puts notes in D2L on each assignment. If you do the assignment early and she notates, you have time to re do it and get the better grade.
Professor Durand, is a well respected teacher, she is a good lecturer and takes her time to ensure that each student understands the material she is going over. There were several test, discussions, and assignments but she is a fair grader and gives apt feedback on each submission. Would definitely take her again. By far, shes the best Ive taken!
What more can you ask for, a teacher that does her part and then some. If you show up to the class you can expect to be greeted by the same old same old. Learn how to be a manager, with interesting scenarios that you won't soon forget. Best of all, her tests are a cake walk if you remember your fundamentals.
Great class. Would definitely retake her class
Great professor!! Taking her again in Fall. She is very clear and detailed about the assignments and tests. They are all due through D2L the night of the following class. Tests are NOT proctored, 40 multiple choice questions but if you attend lecture you will pass. Textbook not needed, but it's your choice. TAKE HER!!! 100% RECOMMENDED !
Awesome prof. Gives great feedback on papers. Would take her again but I'm almost done. Took her in summer session. Remember submit grade
I am taking Prof Durand online for a 6 week course. There are NO PROCTORED EXAMS!! Only 2 discussions, 4 assignments and 17 quizzes (you can take the quizzes twice). She grades your work right away so you know where you stand and if you submit early enough, she gives you the opportunity to improve your grade! I definitely RECOMMEND!!
Intro to business online was great with this Prof. 2 discussions, 4 assignments and no proctored exams. The reading was clear and if you study you will pass . Everything was graded very promptly. She seems nice and gave good feedback. The quizzes were open book and you can take them twice. Would definitely recommend Prof Durand!
Great professor! Very clear and thorough about what she wants. Always make sure to ask questions shes very quick with responding and always makes sure you you understand. The class was based on one group project that built from one part to the next.
Professor Durand is amazing. From conveniently being available at different times of day, to taking time out to make sure you understand and that your questions get answered, she was always a helping hand. Grades fast with beneficial feedback. I wish she taught more office management courses.
If only I could drop this class. She grades extremely heavy. She is the professor you would look at as doing way too much. When things can be so simple it is made difficult with this class. Grading is very critiqued and nitpicked. Save yourself some time and go with another professor
Prof Durand is one of the BEST professors Ive had. Syllabus & due dates was very clear. She already has the assignments posted so you can work ahead if you want. She gives good feedback & offers a few extra credit opportunities. Do the work & youll pass.
Great professor! Class was super easy, I wish she taught more classes I needed to take. Responds very fast and always gives feedback. I recommend taking any of her classes!
If you do your work and follow the instructions you will pass this class with an A Professor responds to emails and questions the same day. She grades your work within 24 hrs and gives you feedbacks to improve. I would take her again.
She made the discussions as participant toon points. We had to complete a business plan as the a group. Something was due every week and. She gave us a clear example. So grateful to take a class where the teacher is clear and there is not a lot of work. No quizzes, tests, or textbook. I definitely recommend! You will not regret it!
A REAL BREATH OF FRESH AIR! EASY A!! Unless you HONESTLY do not do anything. Don't need textbook power points are more than sufficient. Very understanding and encouraging.
I loved that this professor graded assignments ASAP. I would sometimes have my grade within 24 hours. I was able to complete the connect assignments within the trial period which allowed me to focus on other courses. A few assignments and discussions. I was disappointed that I could not take her for another course! Do the work and you will pass!
There are no tests or quizzes. She basically assigns 3 people per group randomly. That is your group for the whole class. Each week something is due. She counts discussions as attendance. Listen and watch her class videos because she basically goes into detail on what is due next. Only downfall is people in group are lazy or procrastinate. Smh
Love this professor! She opens everything so you can work head and grades are posted within 24 hours. I took this online for half a semester so there was a lot of work that was due each week. Class had 16 quizzes 4 assignments and 4 discussions. She also gave extra credit which I recommend doing. Always gives great feedback.
Professor Durand is great! If you take her class and do the work you won't be disappointed with your grade. She is very clear with the assignments and her grading criteria. She gives great feedback and allows you to work ahead. This was a summer class so there was a lot of work due in a short amount of time. I'm expecting to get an A.
BEST TEACHER EVER. ALL I CAN SAY IS TAKE HER! I WAS SICK FROM COVID AND HAD A ROUGH START IN THE CLASS BUT SHE WAS EXTREMELY CARING & UNDERSTANDING. I WILL TAKE HER AGAIN. I KNOW HER SUCCESS RATE OF HER STUDENTS IS HIGH. SHE IS AMAZING. JUST DO THE WORK AND YOU WILL PASS.
Professor Durand is a great teacher! This class was very easy if you read the material and keep up with your work (discussions, quizzes, connect learning). She is a fair grader, and gives good feedback. I would definitely take this professor again!
I missed two discussions and she pretty much fuced me with the grading. Do not for the love of god miss any assignments because she is not forgiving.
An amazing teacher she is allowing me to turn in the discussions for late grades, I would remove the last review but it won't allow me. Great teacher!!!
Professor Durand is awesome! Her feedback seems genuine and she cares about your success in class. She has 16 quizzes, 4 assignments, and 4 discussions. She offers one extra credit assignment that I highly recommend doing, especially if you plan on being in a consumer facing job! Will absolutely be taking her for additional classes for my degree!
If you take her everything is done in a group setting. She was very clear about what she wanted and gave thorough feedback to improve your grade at the end. No tests or quizzes attendance mandatory. Don't be late.
I took Professor durand in the summer session . lots of discussions and APA style assignments. work but trust me she is super easy, just lots of work. the quizzes are very easy, use online for them all. i would take her again.
This Professor very kind, good grader and reminder about the assignments. I will take again Yes.
Professor Durand was amazing! She gave clear feedback for everything. She answers emails fast and cares for students. We had a total of 4 test. They are 4 hours each to complete with 100 questions each which is a fair amount of time. There is a steady amount of work but it is all easy to understand and complete. Would definitely take again!
Professor Durand- Is amazing & very knowledgeable. It was a Hybrid class so attendance is mandatory for a grade and you get to meet up with your team to collaborate on the project. She is quick to answer questions online & helps you think through the process. Would l take her again absolutely!! Learned a lot!!
Professor expects you to complete assignments with no reference or explanation, so get ready to Google. She also grades very harshly for providing zero explanation, possibly one example if you're lucky, and no references in the text. Most of the things covered in the quizzes are also not in the book, so you will want to sign up for/use Quizlet.
Zoom class mini term, professor was straightforward. She went over all hw assignments in class to make sure everyone understood, timely grades,6 discussions,7 quizzes, 3 assignments in d2l,7 assignments in connect-short, group project- easy discussion. Lectures were related to real world scenarios. She graded timely, class better than expected.
A very easy class if you keep up with the weekly work. At most you will be doing is a mini quiz, a discussion, and videos to watch and questions to answer. Beware if you have bad grammer as you will lose points on certain assignments if you dont use good grammer. She gives personalized feedback for every assignment telling you how you can improve.
Whenever I text the professor with a question the turnaround was quick, and the answer was very well understood.
Professor Durand, Was a delight! She was very down to earth, and offered assistance during the whole course. You will be working in a team, so collaboration is key.
Professor Durand was very nice and very communicative throughout the course. She was always flexible with attendance and assignments and posted announcements if there was any changes to assignments or class.
Professor Durand made this class so smooth. She grades very quickly which allows you to know where you stand in her class grade wise. I would definitely take her again. She provides good feedback. She is by far one of the best professors I have had at Broward. Take her if you can!
She is a great and caring professor! Her syllabus is clear and due weekly (online class). Just read the syllabus, be organized, and do the work, and you should be fine. I believe I will end this class next week with an A.
Really horrible. I hyperventilated the entire class because of the amount of work that needed to be done. Please also be aware that there are 45 question "quizzes" more like exams that do not relate to anything you read in the chapter. Do not take this professor.
