She is an excellent professor. Very nice. Always gives study guide, and encourages critical thinking. Fun teacher, would recommend any of her Child Dev. classes. She is extremely helpful and knowledgeable of her field.
She is a great teacher. Very knowledgeable about special needs Child Development. Her tests are fair, but not easy. Attendance in class is a must. I enjoyed this class.
She is easy. She gives projects all the time. She is a very nice lady. So i reccomend you should take her class.
Oustanding, understanding, very helpful, and kind. A wonderful professor! Makes her class a fun-learning experience.
Absolutely the best CD teacher in the department. Never dreaded going to class, it was always fun! You really learn a lot from her, not just about the class subject.
She is an excellent speaker. Will always have your attention, will never bore you.
I took her class couple of semesters back and loved the class. Their are few wonderful CD professors in this school and she ONE of the best. Her mateial is very understandable and the way she explains the material is awsome and very very clear. She is very smart and she knows exactly what she is doing. I would definetly recommend ALL her classes.
She is the best!!! Very enjoyable and I always look forward in going to class. The best in the Child Development Dept.
a wonderful person, a true saint, she really cares for her students!!!!!
great teacher very nice she explains everything and gives u lots of time for presentations
her lectures are awesome; they won't bore you like most teachers do!! She has a great personality! I recommend her t anyone and everyone!!
One of the very best ever!
very easy, helpfull, great personality, apreciates the work that her students do. She is very fair when it comes to grading,I'll recommend to everyone.
Very good professor, helpful. I recommend to every one.
very thourough and helpful, and very knowledgable
I took her for winter 2008, and she is very understanding if you have issues with anything reagarding the curriculum an online problems. I like the fact that she is not strict on essay's for the assigment and the test is 20 ?'s true or false.
shes soo sweet and very helpful. i totally recommend her for anyone who wants to take a CD class.
THE BEST TEACHER IN THE WORLD!!! YOU MUST TAKE HER
VERY nice lady. She makes class fun and interesting and loves to tell stories. Turn in all her assignments, show up to class regualry and you wont be dissapointed with your grade.
She rocks, helpful, supportive.Loves teaching.
sweet teacher.cares for her students. Take her class.
took online class. It was easy. Homework can take some time, but the quizzes were fine since it was open book. One downside was that she took (in my opinion) way too long to reply to messages.
Such a nice professor. I took her class online. Provides lecture notes, power points, chapter ?'s, essay on theorist, child observation, & parent interview. I got a 100 on everything but tests. There are 5 (one a week). They are multiple choice & since its online they are open book so that makes them harder. Go with your gut! EASY A!!!
Super super nice! A lot of work to do if you want to get an A but it's not hard. She's very kind, helpful and understanding. If ur willing to but a little time to get an A take her.. if not u'll prolly get a B or C. GOOD LUCK!
she knows her stuff
I took her online class... nothing was graded until the semester was over and final grades were due. She was very hard to get a hold of through e-mail. Assignments were easy, as well as the papers. An easy A as long as you do the work. She was not clear about the tests, and did not post when they were going to be ahead of time, however. That's wher
The best. I had a lot of fun i learned a lot from her class
SHE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!! IF THERE WERE AN AWARD 4 BEST PROFESSORS @ VALLEY COLLEGE..THEY WOULD GO 2 ....mrs. B for c.d., Mr. Paget for math & Mrs. Strauss for Anthro.
For an online class, lots of discussions, interaction with classmates,and interesting assignments. Easy to access prof if questions or problems; opportunity for extra credit. Look forward to another class with her!

Professor Baghdaserians is a wonder teacher, she is extremely passionate about what she teaches, is very clear about everything, answers every question and is very helpful with everything. She is very easy going and easy. I didnt buy the book, but she is so clear with everything that you dont even need it... Shes an awesome teacher and i look forwa
Professor Baghdaserians is awesome. She's clear and straightforward and her exams are so simple its crazy. I loved both classes of hers that i've taken and would recommend her to anyone taking CD.
EXTREMELY easy....i DIDNT read any chapters and i barely listened to what she said, and yet i ended up with an A+. She grades verryyy easy. The one this i did not enjoy was how much she rambled and rambled..Overall she was a Chill Easy teacher. Even if your not the brightest person..i garentee if you have any commen sense you will get and A or a B.
she loves to teach. very helpful.shares from her experiences.....
She is the best teacher in the whole wide world! I have her for winter cd 3 class.... I wake up in the morning in a good mood because Im excited to go to her class. Her test are long but she gives u the chapters to read. She is the best! Take her.
She's really lenient, easy, cool and gives everyone an A. Basically if you turn in everything you're supposed to and have basic common sense, you'll get an A in the class. I take it back, if you have a pulse and are breathing, you'll get an A. She's very passionate about kids and Lily of course, but her teaching skills are mediocre.
she loves her job and her students. she is a good role model.
One of the worst classes I have ever taken. Took her too long to respond to comments and questions from students. Too long to get grades back to us so we didn't know where we stood and if the assignments were done correctly.Yes she is nice and lenient, but that's not going to help me. I'm there to learn. I think she has too much on on her plate.
great teaching skills and she facilitates group work.
Okay...so I was reading through some of the comments on here, and I noticed that a lot of reviews read that Professor Baghdaserians' teaching skills were mediocre. I have to disagree. When I started class with Professor Baghdaserians, I was immediately interested in what she had to say. She has an amazing way of making her classes interesting.
cd 3 was so much fun. i learned and had fun. i would recommend this class
best professor to take if ur interested in child dev. she is so sweet and a great professor. shes is so smart you will learn alot.
Wow... Professor Baghdaserian; such an inspiring woman with a big heart! she knows her child development and teaches it very well. You will learn a lot if you of course attend class, and do your work. FYI if you take her class be prepared to hear some interesting stories about an adorable little girl named Lily. =)
She is a sweetheart and makes class fun. She integrates fun stories about her daughter Lilly into her lectures. You will learn a lot from her, no need for memorization. I didn't buy a book and still got an A. Show up to class, do your work, take notes during her lectures [reads directly from the book] and you're guaranteed an A.
Love love love Dr. B. She cares about her students and her field. She brings with her, experience, which she uses to teach with and she explains lessons and it totally sticks. tests are easy if you attend her class and listen. she truly cares.
Very nice and helpful. I took her online class, and she was quick to answer questions I had. Easy and interesting class.
easy class, some of the assignments for the online class were not detailed enough to know exactly what was expected. she is helpful but it takes her awhile to respond to emails/ questions. keep track of your points she miscalculated mine and gave me a B when I had gotten an A, after MANY emails she finally changed it 5 months later. book not needed
great professor. she was very helpful. great class
Professor Baghdaserians is a very knowledgeable teacher. Easy material and tests. It is an enjoyable class.
Best teacher in Los Angeles Valley College! Tests are easy and so are the assignments. Assignments are easy to understand. Teacher is very helfful when you ask her questions.
worst experience I've ever had. All she talks about is herself. I came to learn, not get useless info, basically had to study all the material at home-instead of her using up three hours of class to actually lecture on "child Dev"she passed around pictures of her kids. fails to calculate grades correctly, stear clear if u actually want to learn
Took a online class with her and loved it, shes very fair, helpful and compassionate. Great teacher!
Very easy class. If you have small children in your life you have an advantage. I never read the book and got an A. She is a wonderful lady. Midterm, and a Final and a potluck.
One of the best professors in LAVC. Wonderful, knowledgeable person. It is enjoyable class.
Seriously the best child development teacher ever! I loved this class with her so much and I hope I have her in some other Child Development classes.
This teacher really blew my mind out of the waters! Brought up interesting ideas about how to and not to answer questions children ask. Eek being a parent and a teacher/care taker is harder than I thought she's great in getting you interested and get you thinking.
Cool teacher.
this teachers is really good! she cares about her students.
Dr. B is a wonderful role model. She helps and cares for her students. She has done so much for the department since she has been chair.
This teacher is horrible! She never responded to my messages and was never involved in discussions. Whenever we turned in work, she never once gave feedback. I don't think she even read our work, just gave us the points. 4 observations, one parent interview, discussions, quizzes, and exams. Wouldn't recommend her at all for an online class!
Lots of reading and class discussions. Interesting subject, the teacher gave feedback and gave quick responses to my questions. Helpful.
took her online .lousy communication. Nice in person, would take her that way . Lots of work not on top of things cause shes overextended .
this class is so much fun! she has a good attitude and helpful.
She's one of the greatest professors I've had at Valley. I took both CD 11 and 7 with her. She's very informative and her lectures are from her past experiences. She makes sure the class is fun and never a dull moment in the class. She only has a midterm and a final that you don't need to stress out about. The questions are all true or false.
This professor is amazing! She is so involved in the field. She respects all the students. She motivates me. Inspiring story.
I had heard such incredible things about Dr. Baghdaserians and was excited to take her online class. I have taken many child development classes since it is my major as well as many classes online and this class was a joke. We received no feedback on assignments and no direction. I truly believe that as long as you turned something in you got an A.
Lots of great resources. Lots of reading and extra credit too. Enjoyed the class, yes the project was not easy but learned so much. Good feedback, the teacher always responded quickly to my questions.
Great teacher. She is passionate about her work.
Dr.B is a great professor. She shares funny stories about her kids. Fun class, lots of great resources.
Enjoyed every single class with her. Very knowledgeable and polite and respectful. Just love her as a great professor. Will take every possible class offered from her. Amazing person and very knowledgeable.
Dr. Baghdaserians really cares about her students and is so passionate about what she does! She is also very helpful and flexible. Her tests are not hard either, because she really prepares you for them. Only midterm and final! I had to do one single project and two group projects while in her class but they were fun! CD03
She's an incredible professor. Although she does talk about her family a lot, she always relates it back to the subject. Her lectures are inspiring and have made me love my major more. Her test are all true and false, even the final! Can't wait to take more classes with her. I highly recommend you all to take this class; you won't regret it!
Dr. B is amazing. Loves teaching and it shows. She helps everyone. Respects all. I look forward to her classes. Take this class.
Dr. B is amazing. Take this class. You will learn so much. You will be inspired and will want to take more classes with her. Dr. B cares for students and respects everyone. She is a role model.
Avoid Professor B. This is my first class and she is a disorganized, confusing teacher. I have to learn on my own to be able to get something out of the class. It is hard to get an answer back from her because does not respond to emails. Super easy A , no brainer, simplistic content.
I loved this class. First time taking an on-line class and the teacher was very helpful. Canvas was easy to use. Prof always responded to me within 24 hours. Gave us extra credit too.
This was my first CD class, and I loved it. Thanks Prof. B. Great discussions and group work too. Loved the stories.
Dr.B is the best online teachers at valley college.
You won't learn much but it's a pretty easy A. Seems as though she doesn't read your work because she doesn't provide feedback which could be good if you're taking this for credit but bad if you need child development for your major. Quizzes are okay, weren't horrible and gave a lot of time to do them. Observations could be made up.
CD 1 is a tough class. You have to read or you won't learn. Do your part and its a great class.
Love this professor. She is an amazing teacher and likes to help all her students.
Honestly, she's amazing. The subject itself is explained very well, therefore the discussions and quizes contain a lot of useful information. She is also extremely nice and truly cares about her students. The only con about her is she will not answer emails or messages anytime soon.
the text is important
CD 1 was the easiest class. Took it online and it was a piece of cake. 5 quizzes, 2 observation's, and one research paper, and a couple homework that was answering questions. Easy A class! She even offered extra credit! Take her! You won't regret it.
I absolutely loved this class. I took 15 units this semester & was worried about this online class. I would check in once a week complete all my assignments and then not have to worry until next week. It is a lot of work but it is easily gets done. If you need this class & are super busy don't be afraid to take it online!
Great
Easiest class I've ever taken. Do all the work and use the textbook for the tests and it's an easy A. If you are not a child dev major and just need the credit this is the class for you. If you are that major however I would recommend maybe going with a teacher a little more challenging.
Great class. Learned so much . Would take it again, the professor is very helpful.
She is the BEST professor in CD. Loved every class and learned so much. Thanks Dr. B!
lots of reading and homework. If you don't do the work you won't be able to keep up. she is very organized and gets grades back quickly.
This professor is amazing she teaches from her experiences as a mom her self. She does have a group project twords the end of the semester and gives good feedback. Wish I could take more with her.
Professor Baghdaserians is such a sweet, intelligent and caring professor!! She truly cares about every single one of her students!!! This class is definitely a super easy A! Just follow directions, do the assignments and turn them in on time and BAM you get your A!!! You definitely learn a lot by the end of the semester. Reading is quite easy too!
Dr. B is an amazing teacher. There are lots of discussions, chapters to read, and quizzes but it all goes smoothly into each other. Really enjoyed taking this class and learned many things I did not know before. She communicated with us all and graded promptly. Really happy I took this class! Take her you wont be disappointed.
loved every class with this prof. she has so much energy. has so much to share and knows so much about children and teaching.
This professor is so smart and cool. She is featured in CD videos. Knows her stuff and cares for her students.
I utterly love this professor! All of her assignments have VERY clear instructions and she frequently responds to assignments with a nice encouraging comment. She is super sweet and although a textbook is required, all the chapters are interesting and none of the assignments feel like a chore because theyre so simple and easy. Would take again!
THIS PROFESSOR IS THE BEST PROFESSOR IN ANY COLLEGE!SHE IS UNDERSTANDIN LOVING CARING RESPECTFUL HONEST,AND TRUDLEY LOVES HER STUDENTS UNLIKE PROFESSOR BACA THAT CHOOSES HER STUDENTS I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMENED AND DONT NEED TEXTBOOK OR NOTHING JUST YOUR EARS ALSO YOU DO LEARN MANY THINGS N EXPERIENCES BECAUSE LIFE IS ABOUT EXPIERNCES NOT THE BOOK!
AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING!!!! I wish that was all I could write about her and for it to be enough for you to be convinced. Her class is very easy and simple. No midterm or final just quizzes. She grades easy as long as you put in effort and do your assignments you should get an A!
Amazing teacher. The best I have ever had. So caring and loving. She inspires me with her stories.
Took this class for the Winter semester, and it didnt feel like a lot of work. There were two big papers, discussions, quizzes, and the final. She tells you what is expected. Easy A
Amazing teacher , I have learned so much. Dr. B is such an inspiration and great leader.
I took this course during the winter (online). It was very straight forward. A lot of reading and discussions with extra credit opportunities. The class is 5 weeks which included 4 major homework assignments 1 midterm and 1 final. When taking classes online, I recommend purchasing the e-book.
If you want an easy A, take Dr. B she is literally the best!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR!! Easy A! Didnt need to by the textbook. Everything is clear and organized on canvas. Shes such a sweet person.
Prof B. is amazing not just as a teacher but overall as a person. Very easy work, which consisted of watching 3-5 min vids and responding with a few points you have learned, a parent interview, an about you paper and a few other assignments. If you fall behind simply reach out to her, explain your situation she will help you, she wants u to pass!!!
Super nice and understanding. Take her you wont regret it.
I took this as a winter course so it went very fast. Lots of reading but all great information. Each chapter has a homework assignment based off of the reading and quizes. Overall a stressfree class.
Amazing!!! Dr. B is the best in the CD department. I loved her teaching style, made a difficult class so amazing.
Dr. B is the very best. I learned so much from her class. She had us read a book about racism and the class textbook was free . I loved all the articles and feedback. Great class discussions.
Took CH 101 online. The class wasn't hard at all. Not a lot of homework. Each week we had a quiz that was pretty easy. Professor Baghdaserians is not a tough grader, she is very nice! She wants you to pass!
She's so the sweet, most caring, and most loveable professor.
This is not a hard class. You can pass easily, and the prof is not a tough grader.
Super easy and boring class. There was a lot of work/ writting that was required for this class and a lot of it was very repetitive. Although I received an A in this class, i really dont even think she looked over any of my work because she provides no feedback.
A professor, who does not complicate students lives with unnecessary formalities.
This professor required lots of reading and writing because practicum is a hard class to do online. Instead of in person we had online videos to watch and respond to. I learned how to write a lesson plan, I wrote a resume and got to attend workshops.
Great Professor! Easy class. She wants you to pass
Great class, this professor helped me with my career exploration and helped me get a job working with kids . She was not the chair but helped me last semester and responded to all my questions .
Dr. B Is amazing . She is very helpful and responsive . I learned so much in her class. I admire her , she is also a parent of teens and shares parenting tips too.
Would 100% take her class again. Loved the clear structure in the syllabus and highly recommend to anyone persuing this course or major.
Great class overall. I learned how to write a lesson plan. I wrote 4 of them and each was on a different topic. The teacher showed helpful videos for lesson plans. We learned DAP. Book was expensive. Great professor.
Loved this class. So many interesting resources.
TAKE HER YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!! She is the best professor. This is a stress-free class. I wish I had more Child Dev classes so she could be my professor. I wish there could be more professors like her.
