I am taking her in the fall and am wondering what she is like. I didn't see her name up so I have given her an average rating.
can someone please rate her? I'm taking her for Biology lab next semester....thanks!
THIS IS A YOUNG PROFESSOR, WHO I THINK STILL NEED TEACHING SKILLS. Each section we must go to the school library on the second floor, and print the notes out print and bring the notes to class. She read from her notes every fast, which is hard to copy. Because everything she goes over is not in her power point notes. She also gives quizzes and test
She is the worst professor I have ever had. Maybe she knows her stuff, but the system she uses to teach is not the best. Her quizzes are confusing and full of tricky questions. Think it twice before taking her.
if your looking to pass this class DONT take her. She is the worst teacher. Shes is rude and not helpful at all. Class is interesting but she does not know how to teach a class.
While taking this course I realized how easy/interesting it is. Powerpoint notes are given to you via c.d. in the library. Quizzes/Exams are straight from the notes. Exams have a class review with extra credit. I have taken almost all Science courses at BCC and I will tell you this course is simple and effective. Thank you for the experience Prof.
SHE IS A HORRIBLE TECHER!! DO NOT TAKE HER!! SHE WEILL EMBARRESS YOU IN CLASS, SHE DOES NOT PUT THE QUESTIONS FRON THE REVIEWS ON THE EXAMS. SHE IS RUDE AND SHE DOESNT CARE ONE BIT ABOUT HER STUDENTS!! IF YOU WANT TO PASS THIS CLASS TAKE ANOTHER TEACHER. SHE SUX!!!
This professor is not as bad as everyone is saying. She seems new but shes catching on. If the class needs help passing, she will tell you to hand in the review for a couple extra points. takes random attendence. dont even bother buying the book everything she gives on her notes are on the tests. good professor!!!
Tricky questions. Boring. Very HARD. I got an A but is an easy C. Maybe a person with a Biology mayor may like the class. The knows the material. She gives extra credit. Quizzes are harder than the test. Be on time, no cellphones, Do Not ask questions, she embarrass students. You might end up being miserable! I was...
An easy teacher but she PERSISTS on being right. Don't ever argue with her because she doesn't like to be corrected. Overall very easy class and tests. Gives extra credit to anyone who wants it. I wouldn't mind taking her again
Just do the review and write everything down just how she tells in notes. If u put it in ur own words then u'll get it wrong. When u do ur presentation make sure u know the info or else!!!!
SHE IS THE WORST TEACHER EVER.. DON'T TAKE HER... HER CLASSES ARE SO BORING AND U HAVE TO WRITE WORD BY WORD WHAT SHE SAYS IN ORDER TO PASS THE TEST.. THE WORST
Very nice teacher, she doesn't use the textbook at all, but give you all the notes via powerpoint. All you need to do is go to class, write down exactly what she says, and study just a little and you will be fine. She doesn't try to trick you, and will tell you "this will be on the test" The only way you fail is if you don't study/don't go to class
she doent use the textbook and she gives reviews before every test! the test are pretty easy if you study. it is an easy A. she also doesnt take attendance!
She has no idea what she is doing.She always reads straight out of the slides. Her tests are extremely hard and she grades your essays lke if she wants you to fail. She will mark any little ting wrong in your essays. In my opinin she is the worst professor I have ever run into contact with. She seems like she is our age and she acts like it to.
THIS FU$KING LADY IS SO HARD I THINK SHE TRY HER BEST TO MAKE YOU FAIL HER CLASS.. SHE IS NO HELP WHAT.. SO.. EVER.. SHE GIVE YOU A REVIEW BEFORE THE TEST BUT THE REVIEW IS 60-70 QUESTIONS LONG AND HALF THE QUESTIONS ARE NOT ON THE TEST.. WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T AND I MEAN DON'T TAKE THIS LADY.. RUN RUN RUN
Great Professor highly recommended. Teaches from power point presentations and gives you a review sheet before the test. If you study the review sheet and take notes in class, you should be able to pass her test. Those students that are complaining about how hard her class is obviously do not realize that this is a college course not grade school.
This class is easy if you go. She has a review before tests, if she dosent cover it, it's not on the test. Presentation instead of final. Her class is easy to understand, access to notes via internet. You cant beat it.
THIS LADY LOOKS EASY FOR THE FIRST WEEK; HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM STARTS WHEN SHE GIVES HER EXAM REVIEW OF 50 TO 60 QUESTIONS.TWO DAYS BEFORE THE TEST!.SHE LOVES TO FIND YOU MISTAKES IN YOUR TEST.SHE PENALIZES YOU FOR EVERY LITTLE MISTAKE.SHE DOES NOT ACCEPT PARTIAL ANSWERS.DONT ASK FOR HELP OR GUIDE WHEN YOU STRUGGLE BECAUSE THERE WILL BE NO ANSWER.
This lady is HORRIBLE!!!!! Do NOT take her!! She rushes through things and half the time she ran out of the class before the students did! She was always in a rush to end class early! Her attitude was HORRIBLE too!!
She is the bomb!! Make us laugh..and we always have good times...really liker her very much..have take other classes from the Biological Sciences Department and she is by far the sweest teacher ever...I strongly recommend her
She is easy..maybe cuz of the summer but she really is..take her and you won't regret it..questions are straight up from the power point slides..(^0^)
She is incredibly sweet! I love this lady! I really wish I had taken for Bio lecture instead of only for Bio Lab. Strongly recommended!
Prof. Ramdin is a great teacher. She is dedicated and wants her students to learn the material. Some students mistake her dedication and caring ways for being mean. On the contrary, she is tough on her students because she wants you to learn. At the end we all walked out of there knowing a whole lot more than the 1st day of class. I def recommend
Take her and get A+++. She was really cool, if we finish early we could leave. Test are straight from her powerpoints just study the slides. Really easy class, no stress. no homeworks. A++++++
nery understandable. kind thoughtful, and loves to teach. hw every class and quiz every class. if you plan on missing classes for a lab i wouldnt recommend it. 2-3 assignments get messed up if you do. overall perfect teacher! if you want to learn something definately take teacher she makes everything so simple and fun to learn. everything!
really easy class.. tells you exactly what the quizzes will have in them.. homework is easy and she is really nice.
Very Strong Personality! but she's nice for the msot part. She's young and pretty cool trying to provide soemthing! you can get a good grade, as long as you keep up with some basic studying and make sure you do all assignments! Quizzes every class, so make you study! overall, I would recommend her over many other professors. Good Luck!
I read all the nice rates about her & decided 2 take her for lab, let me tell u the only thing TRUE about them are that she's nice, other than that they're all lying!!!! Her quizes are RIDICULOUS, she expects you 2 memorize almost 10 pgs of your lab manual for every quiz, every wk and her quizes are all short answer not Multiple Choice, Don't TAK
I agree wholeheartedly with the person below me. I took her for the same reason and found out that she is absolutely fanatical. Her tests are insane! She gives you all essay style questions and expects you to remember everything in her 15-20 page packet. She is not even willing to work with you. If you like your current GPA, stay away from her.
Shes nice but her tests are Ridiculous!!! Essay questions and she wants you to memorize TOO MUCH info!! She has a lot of info to talk about but only covers it once and expects u to remeber every detail. she doesnt give etra credit and doesnt offer it at all to those who struggle to remember her her boring lectures. She talks to much!!!!
I took her for Bio Lab. Class was pretty interesting. I didnt find her so hard. but let me tell you need to study, study... she gives you a quiz every morning b4 class starts and she gives you like 5 minutes.... her h.w is a lot but easy. if you could find someone else to take try to.. l0l
She is really interested in the environment so taking her for an environmental class was really fun. Her tests are hard but if you dont understand something she will go over it with you.
Very nice teacher but this subject is difficult. If you are going into the medical field you cannot complain about the info u need to know. Any medical field does not get easier. Yes, alot of material but to her defense she will help. The lab manual was the worst; should not be sold. Work is not easy but you have to put the time into it.
This Prof. knows her subject extremely well. Her lectures are all from Pwr Point that utilize cool pictures and You Tube videos. She certainly offers extra credit and her test reviews contain the exact material that is on a test. If you got a bad grade last term only blame yourself not the Prof. She explained evrythng Easy class, Great Professor!
Her class is pretty straight forward, you show up with your powerpoint packets per module on the syllabus and star anything she tells you to star. Before the exams she gives you a review with all the questions on the exam. The exam has a lot of essay questions and everything must be memorized to pass. You must study to pass but she will help you!!!
I'm takig her for the lab. She doesn't seem very interested in teaching, and she can't spell. It's possible to get an A if you study alot for this 1 credit class, but I still dont recommend her.
I could tell that she cares about her students she knew everyone in the class by their first name! shes very nice always wants to help however, this 1 credit class was the hardest clas iv had we had a test every time we went to class alot of memorizing because she wouldnt tell us exactly whats on the test but if you try hard your guarenteed an A
Not a hard class to do well in. She is a good teacher, pretty straight forward. All you need to do is study her notes and the lab write ups and you will get an A.
This Teacher is AMAZING. She is extremely helpful and also gives extra credit if deserved. If you study for her test you are guaranteed to pass. SHE IS AWESOME!
she is extremely helpful. attendance is a must. do your homework study for the test and you will get an A.straightforward
Really nice prof, loves her job. Extremely helpful and super clear on the material, truly a good professor, take her you wont be sorry!!!
I had to take the biology lab class. You really have to study for her tests and the lab reports (one on every class!). If you are not lazy and study hard, you can get an A. She is nice and fair.
I took her in the summer and I enjoyed her class. She's nice and very helpful, but you have to study alot for this class. I would take her again.
very nice class, made the subject interesting and easy to learn, very clear and straight to the point. advice to not get the book, all the information comes from the powerpoints. attendance is not mandatory, the powerpoints she has them on the web. if u study the material u'll pass
Good teacher, Buy lab mama, open book Final) Sharelab. equip. Make-up quizzes Extra credit
Too strict,too hard, voice too squeeky,not hot at all,like the subject just not the most easy going teacher.
you have to do journal, review questions out of the book and type complete questions and answers which is time consuming boring, and useless you have a group presentation that your expected to do on your own time, then you have to study her extremely long study sheet for each test so good luck and dont take her if you have another important class.
This class is a waste of time,she takes herself way too seriously.Not one person is majoring in this subject yet it has the most work compared to classes that will go towards your major.She is rude and wants you to do bad or for you to forget to do the assignments. DO NOT TAKE HER!
Amazing professor that goes out of her way to help you learn the subject. She is passionate and knowledgeable about Bio2. But WARNING Practical worth 50% of the grade. Study Study Study and fail. I would advise to take an alternate route...different teacher.
hey i started losing my hair in her class it was stressful so much work to do i could barely apply myself to my other classes but she should really loosen up a little and she would be a well preferred teacher to take there is reallly no need to drown the students with so much work we forget it after were done with the class anyway gianna gianna....
Honestly, how rude and idiotic a few of the comments are below. Prof. Ramdin does expect a lot out of her students. However, if any of you ever plan on going to a University, you better get used to it. She is an excellent teacher, and yes, you will be challenged. If you are lazy, or don't want to devote time to studying, then don't take her.
This class was interesting, you only use the text book 5 times WASTE OF $100, shes very rude, tests are easy but you need to study.
All I have to say is study, study, study if you want to pass this class. Nice professor, but she makes you work for your grade.
Don't tell her you're in College Academy (The most intelligent students on BC's campus who bring national recognition to the school) because she will hold it against you, lower your grade, and grade you tougher than everyone else. She was unfair and I complained to the dean about her.
Wow, she takes so much pride in teaching a class how to recycle water properly. She is so pompous and has the nerve to make something as simple as environmental science the class that adults should "break their backs over." Has clearly not developed professional teaching techniques.
Never again. Avoid her at ALL costs. She made this course very unpleasant for me.
Today, I went to science class. I looked around. Professor Ramdin was still the teacher. FML
LOL! Gianna probably wrote the one under this herself... because that's a complete lie. Avoid her at all costs! Teach yourself science from a book in the library if you have to! Change majors if necessary. I'd rather snack on shards of glass than be insulted and dehumanized for an hour.
I found her to be passionate about the subject. And she was helpful if you didn't understand something. The journal exercises did take time away, but that was her way in making the information stick in your mind. You definitely need to study for the tests, but she does do a review and lets you know what the essay questions will be.
Ugh what a rancid woman! I was in the first class she ever taught and I would NEVER recommend her to ANYONE. She talks down to you, is monotonous, and snappy. She gave us an extra credit assignment and then told half the class we were lucky that she didn't report us to the Dean.. because we forgot a works cited! IT WAS AN OPINION PAPER!! SHES CRAZY
This is a class that you really have to study in .I took it for the summer and we had 4 test 1 presentation and a couple journal entries.She gives you alot of extra credit chances.If you work hard you will get an A.
Horrible witch!! She is rude and will talk down to you. She doesn't help you if you don't understand the subject, she will talk down to you because you don't know it. She's a liar and she isn't there to help you learn. Avoid this WITCH!!!
I STILL GET NIGHTMARES this was the most work i had to do for any one class it felt like this class should have been worth 12 credits because i devoted full time to this class alone she knows her stuff but she does not know how to make a good class worth learning she makes it way harder than it should be and now i hate that class with a passion
I would not recommend taking this teacher. She gives no direction on what to study for her tests, and the reviews are useless. The class did not require too much work but you will probably not get a good grade unless you do good on the tests which are hard to study for because as I said she gives no help on what you need to know for the tests.
I've read negative comments, but my experience with her has been very opposite. Her class was entertaining, she helped out whenever she was asked, she's easy on the eyes, and her class, honestly not hard at all. Personally think she's a great teacher and all the kids here need to grow up, wait till u get a boss and then see if u can rate them.
lol the one below must be professor Ramdin herself, giving herself some positive ratings.
I had her for BSC1010L and she was always willing to help us with what we didn't understand. The people who failed her course were dumb/didn't put any effort into it, that being said, when I had her most of the kids passed her course. In general, Professor Ramdin is a great science professor and always positive in class.
She is helpful and I enjoy her as a person, however, most of the class failed the practicals. They were very hard and even though most of us studied for 10+ hours, we still ended up getting Fs-Ds. It was very discouraging because the information was not clear as to what exactly we needed to know. It was incredibly stressful.
Bio 2 Lab. DO NOT TAKE!! Unless you are prepared to work like a dog and put in 20 hours a week for a lab class! Tests are completely unfair! Gave review for final which was not even remotely like the final! Hands down worst experience at BC!!
She will talk down to you if you ask a question. For everyone who said only dumb people failed her class, that is not completely true. She likes to act intimidating and is very rude, especially to high school students. I do not recommend her at all. There are many other professors who are more willing to help and are better teachers.
Im not professor ramdin im an actual student I just took environmental science summer b, she is super sweet and the class was no difficult. it was actually fun and all we had to do was show up. We did not use the textbook at all and she was CRYSTAL clear about her assigments and gave out extra credit what more do you people need ?
Amazing professor had her for lab she is extremely helpful and cares about the subject. All you have to do is study and work hard to get an A.
She was one of the BEST science teachers I ever had!! I almost didn't take her class because of some of the reviews but these students are WRONG. She was awesome! I never liked science until I took her class! She is very nice, helpful and you learn a lot! She isn't boring and we get interesting assignments and projects! Definitely take her class!!
this teacher is awesome. the only people that don't post a good review are most likely the people that failed the class. if you come to class and do all the assignments like you are sapposed to, then there is no reason not to get an A. I had her for biology, biology lab and earth science and got an A in all three classes
She is super snobby and you have to pay if you want extra credit. It's called extra credit for a reason why do we have to pay for it if we want it? Dosn't she understand that some students can't afford to pay. She can't teach at all either!!
The best professor EVER! She is helpful, takes time to make sure you understand her class. Her powerpoint presentations are very helpful for the class. I agree with some of the previous comments, the only people complaining are the ones that did not pay attention in class or the ones that did not do any class interventions. She is the BEST!!!
EVR1009: great teacher. pretty easy. allows you to bring your lap top to class to take notes. very nice. field trips are extra credit. keeps class interesting. a few homeworks pretty easy. tests are a little hard study. if you get the chance take this teacher.
Awesome teacher!!! Makes class fun and easy. Definitely going to take her for another class she teaches.
Don't listen to anyone giving this woman a bad rating! She is absolutely the sweetest and most understanding teacher I had this semester. The tests are all covered in the notes and she goes out of her way to make sure everyone understands the subject material. She's young so she's also pretty funny. EASY A.
Love this Professor. If you are lucky enough to take her class you will love it too! I had alot of fun in her class as well as learned alot.
Sweetest Professor I've had at Broward College. Helpful, Clear.
Great teacher, very clear and friendly. Has field trips for extra credit. Very interesting subject, and she has a passion for what she teaches.
Very nice professor. She is in school (working on her PhD) and working, so she understands what it's like to be a working student, and tries her best to make this class manageable and enjoyable, especially since this is a science class intended for non science majors. A textbook is not required, she PowerPoints from D2L. No class on days hw is due.
In the beginning of the semester she acted very nice and helpful, even bringing cookies to class; but a little before mid semester she started treating her student like an annoying co-worker. terrible teacher, she thinks everyone cheats so she watches the class like a hawk and can be very rude and impatient. i wish i never took this class with her.
Best professor at Broward College. Class is super easy with 8 quiz for which you are allow to use notes. There are also 3 test and lots of extra credit chances. she is very nice and loves to help all her students. Easy A.
Nice in the beginning then changes.She only gives one extra credit and it is a quiz.She is sarcastic and does NOT answer questions clear. You ask a question and she either restates the book (which you can do yourself)or answers you with a question. No help. Quizzes she says ask questions, if you do she says she cant answer.I don't recommend her!
She does not know how to teach or how to help her students. I found her being no help to me & my fellow classmates when feeling extremely lost in the information. If you don't understand, she will explain it the same exact way she did the first time which gets you no where. I will definitely not be choosing her for my next science class!
Had her for the summer and she went out of her way to make sure that we understood the material at the accelerated pace. Super funny and understanding but she does expect you to study and treat her course like it is a college level course! It is an easy B if you study a little. A fair A if you commit some time to the class. Loved her!
She goes the extra mile for her students to understand. Gives extra credit that helps you redeem yourself I found you mess up. 8 quizzes all open notes easy quizzes l. 3 test that are easy as well if you study what she tells you. Over all she's the best you won't regret it.
She is awesome. She cares for her students because she is still young. The class is easy and laid back. Open book quizzes on all 8 quizzes. There are 3 tests. No midterm or final. There are workdays that are easy. She gives 17 points extra credit. So there is no way you can do bad. Easy class, cool teacher, easy grade. Win-win-win.
I can start by saying you don't need the textbook at all so thats a plus. She is smart and very knowledgeable. The class consist of 8 quizzes all open notes and 3 test. She knew everything you would need to know. She is not rude actually very sweet. Take her thank me later.
Must come to every lab in order to complete the lab reports. I suggest to take with the lecture to understand the material. Quizzes at end of class on material learned in previous class. Very helpful and gives lots of extra credit including OPEN BOOK quiz at the end. ALWAYS stay entire class and she will work with you for extra points to pass!!
One of the absolute best professors I have ever had! She is fair and upfront about everything. She also will always ask for questions and answer them well. I say use this teacher for anything you can!
She is nice, but she talks very scientifically and if science isn't your strength you will not understand anything. there are 8 quizzes open note, its great but still haven't got a perfect score. the 3 exams are hard, she rewords everything from her notes so its pointless trying to remember your notes u have to understand the concept.
try another professor if science is not your strength. she makes it seem like the class is easy and shes nice but she isn't. no text book required but the material provided doesn't help when you're studying for an exam.
When it comes to tests the comments you see are somewhat true. So I suggest you study a lot for an A. The test are hard because theyre not made by her. She does give good lectures in class, we study based upon that. I still received a high b with a 60% test average. extra credit, 8 easy open note quizzes, 4 easy hw assignments. I'll take her again
Take a LOT of notes! Study before each test. But her quizzes are really easy and you can use your notes or even Google. However, she does talk extremely fast and tends to get off topic or give you random info. So write as much as possible because it might just come up on a quiz or test. She's very sweet and one of my fave science teachers.
She lost a paper that I turned in! I talked to her after class and she thought I was lying. She did not let me turn in the paper. I asked to do extra credit, I brought in a big poster board and she did not even look it! I never got the extra credit. I got a C in her class my only C I have ever gotten. I will never forget how horrible she was.
The class is really straight forward. The pop quizzes are very easy to pass she lets you use your phone on them. Go to every class. All notes are on powerpoint so know need for the book.
She is awesome. She gave us extra credit, and when we asked for more, she gave us extra extra credit. The grading criteria is good. No crazy percentages; you just add the points you have. TAKE LOTSSSSS of notes, everything she says. It will be on the quiz. Open notes quizzes and multiple choice tests. She is very patient and has a great attitude.
I believe in giving professors the benefit of the doubt. But it is absurd the amount of credit she takes off assignments. For the smallest things! She is not amiable at all. 8 open notes quizzes, 3 research assignments, and 2 exams. Will not recommend to any non-science majors. Rude at times. Knowledgeable professor but makes it harder on students.
Professor Ramdin is a caring professor but one of the hardest labs. The lab was based on quizzes, there was 8, also with lab reports, quizzes and practicals. Does not review before the practical like she said. Gave extra credit since she saw everyone was struggling. and takes very long to reply to an email. Definitely would not take again.
