She is a young professor just started teaching at BCC. She started teaching this summer. I took a summer II session of Bio 109 (Anat and Phys I). She is a very understanding professor and explains things well and is helpfull. She gives examples that you can relate to. study everything and in detail and you'll be fine. she is fun too.
Really great teacher.
this class was amazing.it was the best class i've ever taken.Dr.b is amazingly helpful.she will review until you get it and she's really easy to come talk to.It was extremely helpful that we didn't have to use the texbook.she read over it and told us what to know.everyone in my class loves her.
Dr.Beckman was simply amazing! took this class for summer II session and although it is a very demanding course, she did an amazing job of teaching us. No textbook is required which is great because the thing cost around $300. Tests were straight from her notes and her ability to be able to teach is amazing! Love her Love her, oh and you will too!
This was a very demanding class, Dr. Beckman made it very enjoyable, when it comes to her lectures she is pretty straight forward she focuses in the most relevant information and her lab practicals (test) are a lot fun, she gives pretty good reviews before each test, I bought & I used a lot for pictures and to answer the lab reports. SHE IS GREAT!
Dr. Beckman is a nice, young and smart woman. Her classes are very interesting and very helpful. Although I was a Business major, she dragged my attention towards this class and learned a lot. Her methods of teaching and examining are excellent. Good luck Dr. Beckman!!! You are great professor!
Very enjoyable class. She was extremely fair with everything from homeworks to tests. Class goes by quickly. Highly recommended.
Dr. Beckman is a great professor that really tries to convey the subject matter in a crystal clear form. She takes her time and makes sure everyone understands. By no means are the test easy. All test are fairly difficult but she keeps it fair by testing from her notes. Take good notes and you can get an A. She is pretty damn good looking too!
Dr. Beckman is a wonderful professor. I graduated from college with my BA a few years ago. I just started taking classes to go to nursing school. Dr. Beckman was fair and made class really interesting. I was very nervous about being in a classroom again, but Dr. Beckman put my nerves at ease with her humor and straight forward teaching method.
Dr. Beckman is super! Anatomy is a hard class and she will not give away an easy good grade, but if you study and attend the lectures, you can get an A. The tests are made from only what she talks about so the notes taken are all you really need, but the textbook helps too. She takes the time to explain fully and answer questions. Highly recommend!
Dr. Beckman is one of the best Biology Professors at BCC..Her classes are very interesting, and her explanations are very clear. Her lecture exams are best on the notes that you take in class, and they are very fair. The HW's are very simple and besed on what you do in lab. so if you are going to take A&P I, take it with her. Highly recommend!!!
Dr. Beckman is a really great teacher. Explains everything thoroughly and if you study the notes, you will be fine!
DR Beckman is by far the best professor. I never knew a professor can teach so well! Her lecture is very clear! her tests are all based on her notes which are verrrrrrry good! i HIGHLY suggest you take her. you wont regret it.
great class this dr. goes above and beyond to help her students pass
If you have to take anatomy take her. Her tests are not that easy but she goes over material thoroughly and you actually learn and as long as you study you will pass the class! she is also really sweet! highly recommend taking her
great professor, all and a lil moro of what ppl mention, she if very flexable with the grading, as long as you try hard you will do fine, one thing to keep in mind get to class early otherwise you get****y seat and therefor****y notes cause cant see or hear. but over all great prof. highly recommended.
Prof. Beckman is a great professor for Anatomy I. Her tests are challenging but all you have to do is study the notes she gives. THATS IT!! The only reason why people do bad is because they don't study her notes but i can guarantee if you study notes then you'll get an A. She always answers questions and is very intelligent.
What an awesome teacher, she is going above and beyond to make sure that everyone enjoys and understand all material. She is very passionate about what she is teaching. Her tests are hard but as long as you study the notes you will secure an "A". Her teaching methods are straight forward. Anything that's on the board is to remember!!!
Professor beckman is the best!! She explains subject clearly and will help you understand. Tests are hard but study her notes from class and you will do fine. She tests from her notes form class...so be there and you will pass
Dr. Beckman is a great teacher. Her lectures are clear and to the point. She tests form the lecture notes,so if you pay attention in class ,you sure will pass with great grades. She's very approachable and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend her.
Not sure how anyone can get less than an A in the class, the exams are crystal clear. Dr. Beckman makes every effort to provide each student the opportunity to ace the class. Lectures may become confusing at times, but Dr. Beckman is more than willing to stop and explain.
Dr. B, is a great professor. Her lectures are interesting and she has a wealth of knowledge about the topic. Her lab practicals are easy but her test are hard due to the multiple chapters you have to study (too many chapters). I would take her again if she was teaching during the summer. She is also very personable and easy to talk to.
DR. B is an awesome professor. She is by far the most helpful teacher I ever got. And very hot!! Lecture test are alittle harder then the Lab test but if u study its all common sense. Im deff takeing her for Ant 2 in the fall.
She's awesome. Enough said.
She is the best teacher for A&P1. Her lectures were very clear and she definately has a way of making the class fun and interesting. If you study, theres no way you can pass the class with less than an A because exam questions are so straight foward. Thats what i got !! I am so excited that she is teaching A&P2 in the fall for the first time! Hurry
Very good teacher. Writes everything on the board for note-taking. Lecture exams are straight from her clear notes with reviews before exam. There is no way you can do poorly if you study the notes. Moved at a perfect pace. I am taking her again for A&P2
This Prof. is the best. Not only is she personable but extremely knowledgable. Her exams are straight from the notes she writes on the board for you. Study the notes... easy A. She never has a problem going over stuff more than once, very clear with her explanations. loved her!!! Would highly recommend her -she makes class fun and entertaining
Great teacher! Study the notes and you'll get any easy A! However, I feel we didn't cover enough info... if the course is needed for medical profession, you may want a professor who covers more material.
i thought that anatomy would be hard but she made it easy to understand. She was very fair with her tests. if the majority of the class felt that a question was un fair she would make it an extra credit question. Take her you will learn a lot.
Dr. Beckman conveys the information well to the students but the class was a bit too easy. I felt that some topics could have been taken more in-depth for the students with higher learning ability. I felt the course was sometimes catered to weaker students and, in a sense, watered-down. This ended up making multiple choice exams too easy.
I WOULD RECOMAND HER FOR ANYONE TO TAKE. jUST STUDY HER NOTES AND LISTEN, TAKE GOOD NOTE, ASK QUESTION AND PAY ATT. AND YOU WILL GET AN (A! SHE'S "HOT", BUT MARRIED...LOL
Great teacher! she explains things very well. She is nice, patient and if anyone doesn't get anything, she explains it again. I recommend! I wish I could take her for A&P II :(
Dr. Beckman is a great professor I enjoyed having her as my professor and I would recommend her to anyone taking this class.
I TOOK SUMMER 1 WITH DR BECKMAN, AND AT FIRST I WAS NERVOUS BECAUSE OF THE SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME THAT WE HAD TO LEARN THE MATERIAL. SHE IS SO CLEAR ON HOW SHE TEACHES THE CLASS AND KNOWS HER STUFF VERY WELL. SHE IS SO HELPFUL, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND YOU WILL GET AN A IN THE CLASS. I WILL DEF. TAKE HER FOR BIO209
Took Dr.beckmens class for summer I. It was a little difficult for me to retain so much information in 6 weeks, but she made it easier to understand.Thanks Dr. B!
Loved her! She is a really good professor, makes the information understandable, and will help any student that needs it. I highly recommend her and wish she was teaching BIO 209 for the summer! Don't bother buying the textbook either, you won't need it!
if you want concise informaton that you will use and retain for a long period of time , use her. if not, if u want information that u will cram and forget then use someone else...she keeps it clear , consise and to the point. if you have a question , she would make the point of researching it and getting back to you ...loved her
Highly recommend her. Her lecture exams are based on her notes, so pay close attention to her lectures. She is very clear and easy to understand. She is also very helpful in answering any questions you may have. She makes a hard subject easy to memorize. I enjoyed her class and look forward to taking her for A&P II.
Dr. Beckman is the BEST!!! Her lectures are very clear, she is fun and interesting. Lecture exams are straight from her notes. I will recommend to take her. I'm taking her for bio 209
Dr. Beckman is meant to be an A&P teacher! She takes a difficult subject and teaches it with such clarity. You really learn the subject from her since she breaks it down so well and makes sure each student understands each concept. She will go over it until you get it. She is very fair, nice and makes A&P fun!
Dr. Beckman is awesome. She teaches the material very thoroughly, only tests on things she has taught, explains things until she is sure everyone understands and is funny too. Test questions are more than fair and if they are unfair she generally is willing to listen to complaints and even compromise. The whole class wanted to take her again.
It was my pleasure to be a part of Dr. Beckman's class this summer!She is by far one of the best teachers I have ever had.She explains the materials thoroughly and in a manner that you can understand.She not only enjoys teaching but wants everyone to take something away with them at the end of the semester.
Dr.Beckman was wonderful proffseor. she summarized every chapter in writing and repeat important part couple of times in lecture. Her way of teaching was easy to understand and very clear.
Although I got an A, Beckman wasn't as good as her ratings say. She's a nice prof. yes, but her reviews are confusing & the wordings are changed in the exams. Be aware! & you'll be fine. I'm taking Bio 209 w/another prof. as Beckman's class completely stressed me out. Assignments kept me up all & her lack of never changing clothes distracted me.
Professor Beckman is amazing. I took another proffesor previously and did not retain half the stuff I did in her class. She makes sure that everyone understands it. I am taking Pathophysiology now and if I did not take her I would be completely lost. She is very detailed but it pays off later for those who need to retain this information.
Dr. Beckman is best professor. She is really ment for Anatomy and Physiology. I took her for both my AP1 and AP2. She is very hardworking and usually her exams are straight from her notes. Her materials are very clear. I would recommend her. Every one looking AP should take her.
Yesss! Done with this class and now ready to start Bio 209! with ANOTHER professor. I HATED seeing the wording changed in exams >;/ And all that homework >:/grrrrr
Dr. Beckman. She is the best is all I can say!!!
True. Beckman doesn't change clothes. Homework keeps you up all night and tricky one as words and meanings are changed in test but not on reviews. Won't be taking her again.
Stop focusing on what she is wearing and focus on the work!!! She made the work as easy as possible, anymore easier and she would of handed the answers to you. I wish she was teaching AP 2 for the summer!
Great, great, great!! I can't wait to take another class of hers. She makes what could easily be a very dry subject interesting. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to learn about anatomy and physiology.
Dr. Beckaman, was great if you take her notes an study you will get an A. Her lab test are fun. I would definitely take her again. People are crazy she looks great and I do not know what people want her to wear she is down to eart and she looks cute.
She's fair. If you take notes and study, you should have no problem passing. If it's needed she will give curves as well. As long as you show that you're trying and put effort into your work, she will pass you.
awesome teacher! liked her a lot>> very helpful, easy to understand on a difficult class as anatomy.
She is great very down to earth .. She helps you understand everything clearly I know sometimes u leave a class without learning but I remember everything take her she's great
I took A&P 1 as a hybrid class and it was EXCELLENT. Her online lectures are clear and interesting and really helped me to enjoy the material. I rewatched lectures to study.Learned a lot and got a great grade. She's helpful and fair. Take her. I wish I could take all my bio requirements for my medical career with her online, no exaggeration.
The work for the class was easy but Professor Beckmans clarity and communication skills are lacking. If I had the option again I would not take her online class. Her syllabus was inconsistent with the text and lab book. Took her days to respond to emails and rarely addressed the issue. I feel that she is a better professor for an on campus course.
Dr. Beckman is an excellent professor. Very well organized, answers questions clearly and has interesting and creative ways of helping students to remember concepts. Exams are not easy but fair and make you think and lab practicals keep you on your toes. Highly recommended but not the one for slackers.
Took her in the summer for online Into to Human Bio course. I felt the course was well-organized and easy to follow, and she does respond. I was worried it wouldn't be manageable but it was actually easybesides being fast paced. DON'T BUY THE LAB KIT, none of the assignments need it! Don't worry about this course being online and science, its easy.
I am taking this class online now. She doesn't respond to emails. Seriously. The work load is A LOT! tons of hw! But she makes it really clear what you need to do every week.
Was an easy straight forward class. Read a chapter, do homework and lab quiz. Every so often there is a exam, and two short papers. Gives good extra credit chances. I emailed twice and they both went unanswered. DO NOT BUY THE LAB KIT! Save the 150+ dollars. If you want, you can get everything you really need for about 15 dollars. I never needed it
Very organized online class & easy to follow. There are 2 lecture exams, 2 lab exams, 1 research paper & weekly lecture & lab hw. Yes it's a lot of work but manageable. Def not a hard class if you put aside time once a week. Only complaint was she took long to submit grades (causing me anxiety lol). I would take her again. Don't buy lab kit!
DO NOT buy the lab kit. It was a waste of $180. I opened the box once. You can easily complete the labs assigned by using objects around the house and still pass. Weekly homework is given on chapters in the book, you have to take the time to read but not that difficult. Lab homework is easy once you complete the labs. Straight forward class.
Listen to other raters and DO NOT BUY THE LAB KIT. You DO NOT NEED the LAB KIT. Unless you want to throw away money, then go right ahead. Class was an easy A you get used to her teaching style. Did not think I could handle an online BIO but I was wrong. The class was incredibly easy. Only the midterm and finals are timed. You can do this.
Like everyone has said, the lab kit is not necessary. Professor Beckman assigns a ton of homework each week so prepare for that in advance. For many assignments the instructions are not very clear which makes it difficult to complete. She does not respond to emails so don't bother trying. Probably would not take this class again
Easy A. But DO NOT BUY THE LAB KIT! Just don't. I returned it after going through the weekly assignments and seeing there was only one dissection of a chicken wing and I did it with a kitchen knife. Don't waste 200 on the kit, believe me. Just buy the textbook, you'll need it. Quizzes and homework every week plus a research paper. Not too bad.
I got an A in this class without the lab kit. The only thing you will need for the lab is a chicken wing, a knife and a pin. Don't buy lab kit because you can't return it or sell it back to the bookstore. I dodged a bullet taking this online. I see why this class fills up so fast. Take it!
Professor Beckman is horrible. Plain and simple. She DOES NOT answer emails when you have questions, does not give feedback on assignments, waits until the last day of the semester to update grades, and makes you buy a $200 lab kit that isn't needed! DO NOT BUY IT! Overall, I would never take one of her classes again.
Taking an online Bio class was much easier than I had anticipated. Unfortunately, Prof Beckman doesn't respond to emails/concerns as much as I think she should. I had issues with the grades I received on a few assignments/tests and she never reviewed them for me. Thankfully, she gave us extra credit assignments so I was lucky enough to get an A.
Class is well outlined- you know whats expected. Homework each week: reading & test, lab & test. A couple bigger lab exams and reading exams, one final research paper. Keep on top of assignments and due dates and you'll be fine. Oh, and DON'T BUY THE LAB KIT. Not needed at all.
Took her class online. It wasn't too hard everything is organized. The course consists of chapter exams,lab exams and a research paper.I didn't do one lab because I had trouble doing it and she didn't answer my email, but it didn't effect me, I still received an A. Only bad thing about her is she barely answers emails, so your on your own at times.
Unfortunately, she doesn't respond to emails, so you are on your own during the semester.
The material is as expected and I want to be clear that I am doing fine in this class. Assignments and due dates are fairly straightforward, but if you have any questions at all you are out of luck. She just flat out ignores your emails. This irritates me to no end and I find it insulting. A professors' job is to teach but where is she? Unreal.
Considering that this was an online Bio class it was not very difficult. There were lots of assignments and reading. Work was clearly laid out but she is completely unavailable. If you have any questions or concerns forget it. Ignores emails and did not post classwork grades until a week after semester ended w/ No feedback and ignored requests.
Easiest online class i've ever taken, as she's completely disorganized and has no idea how to use the online portal. i didn't do a few labs and i still got an A+. my grade was a 235. Like 235/100. The class average was a 260 something. she's not responsive and doesn't offer feedback, but this class is basically a guaranteed A+
bio 101 was very easy as it was taking online during the covid outbreak. shes a very generous grader but takes a long time to grade things. the chicken wing lab was very easy/self explanatory
She never answer emails and gives you no feedback. She sends two email for just a friendly reminder and goes MIA. Test are so simple, labs are easy, and lecture mid term and final super easy. Lots of reading and this is really a self taught class. Easy "A" if you just need a bio class. take it! Believe me. even though she don't answer easy A
I took her online, there is A LOT of work involved but it's still pretty easy to get an A. Only problem is she NEVER responded to anyone's emails ever. And she never posted any grades (the only grades you saw were quiz and exam grades because they were graded automatically) so that's a little stressful. But I had a 300/100? Without half my grades
Textbook mandatory. Perfect balance between reading chapters and assignments. All weeks' semester are fully loaded so you can get ahead easily. Classes are very interesting.
Class is online with new assignments weekly listed Mon through Sun. Assignments due every Sun but you don't get them until Friday so you only have 3 days to read 2 chapters, do 2 multiple choice and a lab. Does not respond to emails. Not a reliable or accessible professor. One lab was lacking materials to complete but grade still counts.
Short session and no information given for first few days of class. Most lab homework posted and due with no lab reference or instructions. Research paper with no instructions or any follow up throughout the semester. No grades posted except what's automatically graded. You will be teaching yourself if you take this class so you do need the book.
Doctor Beckman does not answer emails. Talk about taking an online course and making it harder. I do not see how anyone could pass when your questions go unanswered.
She clearly does not care about her job or her students at all. She almost never responded to anyone's emails regarding her unclear instructions to many assignments. She did the absolute bare minimum as a professor, and it could negatively affect her students since there were so many times when we needed help or more instruction about an assignment
I took her online BIO107 course and she was the worst professor ever, she never responded to any emails. My final grade for the course STILL isn't out yet regardless of the six emails I've sent her asking about it! The work itself was extremely easy. I still would not recommend taking her due to the fact that you might not get your final grade!
Obviously this professor is only teaching for the paycheck. It really gives the community college a bad rep. She NEVER responded to emails regarding missing assignments, never even bothered to give a final grade. She ghosted everyone 3 weeks into the semester. Online assignments were not accessible, therefore we couldn't complete most of the work.
