Not a good experience. I didn't mind the large amount of reading and writing, but Behn's lack of clarity in her instructions for assignments bothered me. I found out the hard way that her papers are lengthy regurgitations of readings from the text. Her writing assignments do not encourage equally valid answers that deviate from the text's answer.

took her online class and I wouldn't recommend to take it. Just take the regular classes. This class was hard. don't know why she has such a high rating. You have to comment on every single articles (about 50) she posts, answer 5 discussion questions which seems easy but they are not + 6-7 page paper. She's a tough grader. almost ruined my 4.0 GPA

At times the note taking was extensive and the lectures could get boring, but overall she is a very nice lady who cares about the material she is teaching. I definitely learned a lot in this class. Also, it was a pretty easy and low-stress class.

GREAT PROFESSOR. 3 tests 25% each, gives a study guide and essay questions prior to test. tests are easy just study a little. One "paper", it's barely a paper its about your family tree. Offers tons of extra credit and cancels class often. Each class she presents a power point and you take notes. TAKE HER! Im definitely taking her next semester

Although I've never met her face-to-face, I can tell she's very sweet and cares deeply about her students' success. Online course was very easy and clear. 5 Discussion Questions, 1 Final Essay paper, & commenting on "In The News" articles for participation. Gives feedback on all assignments bc she wants you to do well. Highly recommend.

The papers are fairly easy as long as you incorporate the textbook, powerpoints, & websites she gives you. It's not as bad as it sounds. There are no tests.

There's 5 papers throughout the semester and as long as you do all the papers there is extra credit offered which isn't hard. She's a fair grader and as long as you use the book and make references from it you'll be fine with the papers.

Professor Behn is the best! I took her during the spring and the class wasn't too bad. There were 5 papers in total throughout the semester. Just make sure you use quotes from the textbook, powerpoint, & websites that she gives you. She also gives you plenty of opportunities for extra credit. I definitely plan on taking her again in the future!

I took this class online. Read the textbook in advance and prepare notes so that when the essays come around, they're easy. She puts all the resources you need on Moodle. I found her political bias infiltrated the course and soured it for me. E.g. (lecture slide ex.) "After 9/11---Americans shocked the rest of the world doesn't like us." WTH

Took as online. She gave me a B+ on every paper I wrote, replied with a generic message saying "this is more of what I was looking for" with her own essay copied and pasted. Links on moodle lead to error pages. She gets mad if you don't cite from websites but if they are broken then how can you? Class is jeopardizing my 3.83 GPA. Not worth it!!

She is a tough grader in that she tells you to write a 3-5 page paper but for the amount of information she really wants it needs to be 7 pages. I felt like I went above and beyond for each paper and kept getting a B+. The plus side is that she gives extra credit so I was able to pull my grade up to an A. It was the exact same thing in her SOC101WB

5 essays in the semester, 3-4 pages long is whats asked of students. After submitting essays, the professor will send a generic essay of what she was looking for PROBLEM IS, some of those essays she sends are 7 pages long, and some are 2 pages long... Keep in mind, she is asking for 3-4 page essays. She does offer extra credit, which helps.
