MY CLASS WAS ON-LINE BUT WHEN I HAD QUESTIONS SHE WOULD ANSWER ME RIGHT AWAY. SHE WAS ALWAYS EAGER TO HELP. I LEARNED A LOT IN HER CLASS. I RECCOMEND HER.
She is a great teacher, normal down to earth. Knowledgeablein the suject therefore teaches well
I took Profe Biondo's online class, and it is a good class to add to your workload. If you plan on taking her class, simply do your work and you will do well. Stay on top of her when you need her help. She did not answer my emails. Go to office hours if you really need help.
I took Soc 2 online with Professor Biondo and I really enjoyed it. She is a great teacher. There's work every week, but it is not hard most of it is your opinion. She gives full credit on everything as long as you do it. The chapter exams are 20 questions and each question is worth 1 point so it's easy to get an A.
This class was very easy due to the clarity and organization of the professor. The textbook is mandatory and is actually very useful throughout the course. The assignments are not difficult at all but do require some effort. This class was a pleasure to take as well as very interesting.
Consider yourself lucky to have her as your Prof, I had her as a substitute, and she became the lifeline of the topic. Great energy, great social skills, witty. She cares that you understand what sociology is, but also, how it's applied. I really realized how extremely bad the Prof. was that she covered.
Ms.Biondo is a great prof. she cares about her students,she explains very well,tests are from lectures, take notes, sit in front, attend her classes, participate in class,and it will be great.She is so passionate about teaching.Awesome teacher,take her you won't regret it.thanks Ms.Biondo for a great semester u r awesome.
Very helpful professor. She cares for her students and wants them to do good in class. She is very clear and makes the class very interesting, I would recommend her to anyone. She is what makes school interesting makes you want to learn.
Very good teacher! She cares about her students and will help you with anything. She is very clear and she writes down helpful notes so copy!! Easy assignments too. I suggest you take her class!
I loved her class! She was so funny! And helpful, I never bought the book I just reviewed my notes and passed with a B I could have gotten an A but I didnt do the first assignment. She makes sociology simple and undertandig, instead of just showing power points all day she gives you examples and she can be silly which brightens up the mood. : )
Wonderful teacher! Teaches very well and is always clear on instructions. Tests are based on everything she talks about in class lectures. Always take notes and you will do good on tests. I really enjoyed her class. Spring 2013. - Will
Amazing teacher. Really breaks everything down so you know whats shes talking about. I really would recommend her
SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER. Attendance counts for points. She writes down the notes on the board and sometimes does PowerPoints. She gives study guides for tests and that's all you need to study with. Her tests were SO easy. Only 2 midterms and a final. Reviews the class before for the tests and gives extra credit on those days. TAKE HER!!!
Everyone should take her. She's very nice and understanding. You don't even need to get her book, she emails the assignment instructions. Had to write three short papers, but it was really easy. She makes learning not a bore. She relates the material to current understandable examples so taking in the work is NOT hard at all.
RECOMMEND!! She is very nice. Never used the book. keeps you laughing during her lectures and even during the tests. She gives extra credit. No homework & assignments are super easy.
LOVED HER! She is really nice and fun. She relates her topics to the students and makes class interesting. The tests are really easy because she goes over everything so well that when it's time to take the test it just feels like a review.
Mrs. Biondo is an amazing teach and is extremely educated. She relate her topics to reality and provide adequate information. Her tests are easy; they're based off her lecture. It is a lecturing class and you must attend. She makes the class enjoyable and welcomes feedback. Great teacher!
she was very clear, and you could tell she knew what she was talking about. i enjoyed her class, passed it with flying colors. sociology isnt my major but im glad i took her class i learned a topic i didnt know much about. i recommend her to everyone
Shes a great professor! I loved attending her class. She makes you laugh all the time. even during a test she'll sneak in a joke in one of the questions. Definitely recommend her!!
This is an easy class because she makes the class easy to understand. She goes over things and helps you if you need it. You should really take her if you are interested in sociology. She is amazing!!! The best teacher I've had so far.
Amazing Professor! I needed this class as a prerequisite for my major. She's funny, gives study guides for tests, extremely helpful. Very kind person. She wants her students to succeed. Anyone who doesn't pass her class, is because they didn't study! Everyone should take her class! One of the best professor's at Mission!
Very easy class. She knows what she is talking about and tries to help as much as possible. There are 3 assignments which are very straightforward, just follow the directions. Tests are very easy as long as you take notes. You don't need the textbook. Attendance is mandatory. 10/10. Highly recommend her if you plan on taking a sociology class.
Come to her class prepared to take notes. The test are easy a cave man can do it. LOL.
Go to class take notes because test are right out of the notes. Everything else was already mentioned. Excellent professor! Not boring at all.
Great Professor! She has really interesting forum questions and writing assignments (there were 2 or 3). She's VERY easy, just take good notes straight from the reading and you should be able to get a good grades on the quizzes. Not a demanding class, TAKE HER!
Out of all the online classes ive taken, this one was my favorite. Read the chapter and take a 20 question quiz. Couple of essays, and no final. & most of all, she was a very kind and helpful teacher. highly recommend this class :)
Best online class I've taken. Well organized and straight forward. Read the book take notes, read again if needed and take a timed 20 question exam, she offers 1 extra credit exam that really helps out. Essays are a piece of cake. Highly recommend.
She is by far the best teacher I've had. I took her class in Winter '14 She's straightforward,organized, tests easy and quizzes easy as long as you read. Class was fun! As long as you read, you'll get an A for sure!! A monkey can get an A in this class. Oh and she's hot too!!! Highly recommended!! I will take any other class she teaches for sure!!
By far best teacher Ive had! She's straightforward, organized, and made the class really fun. I took it online in winter '14 and it was awesome! Her tests and quizzes are easy as long as you read the book. I got an A and she offers extra credit too. A monkey can get a good grade in this class. She's hot too! Take this class and get that A!!
Best teacher I've had! took this class during winter '14, she's clear, organized, tests are easy so are quizzes as long as you read them! She's hot too! and gives extra credit to help you with your grade. I will take her for any other class she offers, take this class and be happy you got an A in her class, I know I am.
She is a very good professor! She really cares about each of her students understanding the material and explains everything very well and simple. Go to class and take the notes! It'll help you on the tests which are very easy and she gives you a study guide.
AMAZING! Really easy class, never read the book, only took notes. Aced this class with a breeze. If you take good notes, you have the test in front of you. Plus, she gives a study guide to make things even easier. She really, really, cares about her students. The only thing that sucked was attendance, its mandatory.
She is an amazing instructor. Always willing to help you with anything. Do the assignments and participate in class.
She is the best teacher ever! It's not so much that she is easy where you could just sail through but more like if you go to class and do all your work you'll get the A that you deserve. She gives study Guides for tests! I really love professor Biondo!
shes and amazing person always is their to help the students, loved this class its so interesting. i dropped it because i was falling but this class is a great class if you read and re read your notes. she makes it easy and understanding.
The questions on her tests seem easy like the answers are so obvious but sometimes you REALLY have to know EVERY word on the chapter Her test questions can get tricky. You have to read every chapter, remember EVERY WORD on the chapter to get a perfect score on the tests This class isn't for people with no self-discipline tests every or twice a week
Tests are easy if you read the entire chapter. Chapters are btwn 20-40 pages long. Content is interesting & applies to real life; therefore, it is interesting. 15 online quizzes, 3 straight-fwd assignments & 1 social issue essay. Prof. Biondo responded to all my questions and thoroughly explained any thing I did not understand. Great Teacher!!
Mrs. Biondo is one of the best teachers you will ever take. She loves her subject and she makes the class easy interesting even if you are not into sociology. She tells you exactly what to do for the projects and she hands out study guides for the test. If you put in the effort you will get at least a B no problem.
She is a cool and fun teacher.
Online Soc 3 Criminology-- weekly exams & other assignments. Nothing too hard, however to get decent grade you must read chapter(s) for exams, & be fairly disciplined in keeping up with exams & assignments. Not much student online interaction, which is great or can be a draw back depending upon your perspective. From an "A" student. Happiness :-D
She's such a great professor! Her lectures are very interesting. The book is not required, but rather recommended. Take good lecture notes, do the study guide, and you will be fine!!! The tests questions are very similar to the study guide. Also start the research project early, and take advantage of the extra credit that she provides.
I really like the way she teaches! Her notes are really clear! She is very helpful as well! Oh! And she isn't a boring professor!! And I'm so glad to be taking sociology 2 with her
Thee easiest class I've taken. She gives study guides that are exactly like the tests. No need to buy a textbook, honestly opened it just once.
This professor is the best!! She cares so much about your grade and your improvement in class. She makes class super interesting and fun. Her lectures are very clear and visual. Her exams are on what you learned in lecture. You don't even need the book for her class. Her exam are literally on what she said during lecture.
Her lectures are amazing! Her grading criteria is clear and gives you a chance to get a better grade on some papers. She's also very funny and because of her I see the world differently. I definitely recommend her if you're looking for a Sociology professor.
The 1st day, I almost dropped the class bc she seemed strict. But I stayed, after the 2nd class I was glad I didn't drop. She really goes into detail about everything, if you have questions, she answers all questions until it's clear. Make sure to write down all notes, everything you need for tests are in the notes, no quizzes. Amazing lectures!
I really enjoyed taking professor Biondo's Sociology 1 course online. Her instructions were super easy to follow . She has a quiz each week on the readings (they're easy) , 1 autobiography 3 paragraph assignment, 1 extra credit quiz, 1 paper only 3 pages typed and double spaced. Take good notes on the readings, do the work and you'll do great!
Awesome professor! Material was very straight forward, just get ready to read a lot. I recommend you guys take this class you won't regret it! You NEED your textbook.
Took her online! She is so awesome! Just keep up with your reading. Very organized, and gives an extra credit assignment.
I took Professor Biondo's class during summer. Very fast passed class, 20 question, 20 minute quizzes every other day. extremely important to read and take notes!
I had a great experience taking this class. She only gives 3 exams in the whole semester and 3 assignments which are quiet easy. The class does require frequent attendance because her exams are based on her lectures and she doesn't post her lectures online. At the end of the semester she gives extra credit for attendance so be sure to attend.
Great professor, reading the textbook is necessary to pass the quizzes. Each quiz is 20 questions and you have 20 minutes to complete it. She offers an extra credit quiz .
i really like her as a teacher, i have taken her online class and a lecture class. her lecture class was WAY better than her online classes. she is very expresses and as long as you talk to her, she gives a lot of opportunities to make your grade go up and stay there. she is great! highly highly highly recommend.
Took her online eight week course. You NEED to make time for it. About two exams each week and a lot of reading. Don't read, don't pass. If you put in the work, you will get a good grade. You earn your grade and know where you stand right away. She's great!
Literally all you have to do in this class is go to lecture and write down exactly what she writes on the board. She writes in note taking format and it's exactly what is written in the book, so don't bother buying any "required text". Took Soc1&2, but purely took 2 because she's an awesome prof. (and for the units) haha.
Honestly the best Sociology professor there is at the school. Essays and projects are super easy. The tests are based off her notes in class and attendance counts. Each day missed drops your grade a bit. Always show up on time and do all your work. If you don't pass this class, then I don't know what to tell you, because the class is EAAAASSSSYYY!!
Out of all the classes I've taken at Mission I've only enjoyed Music 111 and now at a close second Soc 001 with prof Biondo. It's a fairly easy class. There's not many assignments due so make sure to complete them all even if you don't get the full points. DONT buy the book! save your money. You'll do fine w/ Google & notes.
I had this professor for Sociology 001 and she was my best teacher! Really respectful, nice and funny. I learned a lot from this class, and I always recommend this class with this professor.
Responds to emails quickly and thoroughly. I would have liked more interaction. The class and the material was easy to digest. There is a lot of reading so free up your calendar. And if you're taking a summer or winter session be prepared for it to be fast paced. The key is to read and turn in all of your assignments.
Professor Biondo's classes are engaging, and she is funny. She is very approachable and I enjoyed going to her class every time. Her assignments are extremely easy, just follow her criteria. She is caring and gives her students several ways in receiving extra credit. I highly recommend her class, just take notes and show up for class. You will pass
Professor Biondo is a extremely caring teacher. She gives her students extra credit, and her assignments are easy, just follow her criteria. Just take notes, show up to class, and you will pass. I will miss her lectures because they are engaging, and she is really funny, too.
Cares for all her students. Super fun and amazing lectures. Makes sure you understand. Super friendly and her assignments aren't too difficult as long as you read the criteria (which she also goes over many times). One of the best teachers at the school and offers extra credit.
Interesting professor and her lectures are informative, I loved how she would relate the topics to anything which made students understand everything better, definitely recommend her to anyone!
Her lectures are something I actually look forward to when I attend her class. She teaches so incredibly well. She offers extra credit all of the time, so if you've done poorly on a test or didn't do some homework assignments she will give you the opportunity to make up that assignment or the extra credit. She is what made me decide my major :)
Great teacher. She gives extra credit. The reading isn't necessary as long as you go to lecture and write notes because she summarizes the reading in her lectures. Very sweet and great teacher!!!!
I loved this professors organization! Assignments were graded quickly and everything was easy to navigate through but you must do the work. Lots of reading (this is what the quizzes are based on) and several discussions and writing assignments. I took soc 001 with the same professor and loved it too!
Reason why I chose soc as my major! I have taken soc 001,002, and 003 with her and received A's in all of the courses. She keeps class fun and interesting and always offers extra credit. She really cares about her students, so feel comfortable to ask her for help. Just pay attention, take notes, and read before tests to do well.
Very easy, would take again
I never rate a professor but I had to with professor Biondo. She makes class so fun, very easy to pass, and super understanding. Make sure you write all the notes she is writing on the board because those will be on the test. Her assignments are super easy, just follow her guidelines and youll get an A honestly. She also gives extra credit!
I'm a bit too late but I had her in the fall of 2016. My first semester and very first class. Great professor! Sad I only had to take one sociology class. Study, do the work, take notes, come to class. She can be very flexible. Class is interesting. Can be easy if you if you do all of the above ^
Took this class my first semester at Mission and I got to say it was by far the easiest/most interesting course. Dont need the book, just come to class on time and listen. She is easy to follow along and has power points(she waits for u to finish which most professors dont) I recommend 100%
She is passionate about her job as a professor.
She is one of the best soc. professors in this school. She is very funny and takes time to help students understand the subject. She responds to emails very fast and she also gives good feedback. She is one of the reasons why I love Sociology now . I would take her class again.
Most of the assignments are test. There are some discussions and two papers. Sometimes, she'll remind people who haven't submitted stuff that there is something due at midnight. Sometimes it's annoying, but I bet it's useful to others and I wish she's done that once as I forgot to do one quiz. Quizzes are timed so read the book carefully.
Light course load compared to other soc classes I've had, but still significant: 4 research papers (1 requiring original survey data), 3 discussions, & 14 chapter quizzes (plus 1 more for extra credit). I was assigned Conklin's Criminology 11th edition (expensive), but bought & read the 10th Edition ($4); it was fine. Little feedback besides grade
Honestly real talk man, Her class was really easy. (But if you're a person that doesn't do any of the assignment, then pls don't even take it) but overall, she writes down notes on the board, and the study guide HELPS ALOT TOO
Awesome professor! Took her online for Sociology 2 and it was great. Reading, chapter quizzes, discussion posts and a paper. Would take her again!
SHE IS AN AMAZING PROFESSOR VERY SWEET AND KIND, WILLING TO HELP YOU OUT. DEFINITELY RECCOMENED HER
She is honestly one of the best professors I have had at mission, she makes lectures so fun and understanding. I highly recommend on taking her class!!!
professor Biondo is sooo caring! lectures aren't boring and work is easy. very flexible if u cant show up for a test. tests are a little challenging because they aren't similar to the study guide but still able to pass. easy homework and gives plenty of time to do it and many times extends deadlines. great professor! always asks for feedback
Second time taking her for a sociology class. Most of the class is quizzes. There is one interview assignment and a couple discussions as well. She offers extra credit too. Don't bother taking if you don't like turning in assignments or reading the textbook as quizzes rely on textbook information.
Taken her twice for Socio online. Great professor. Grades are based on quizzes, discussions, one 3-4 page essay. I took her this semester for sociology 002 and she provides a link to download the textbook for free. NOT HARD, all you have to do is do and turn in all the assignments on time.
I would definitely take a class with Professor Biondo again. She gives great feedback and is very polite. The class was very interesting and I learned a lot about society and how we have evolved over time. Do the assignments and you will pass. I took the online class so the assignments were available at the start of the class. Winter 2020.
I really enjoyed her class
Dr. Biondo is a great teacher. Follow her guidelines on assignments and you will do well. She makes the content interesting and enjoyable. Great class.
Took her last fall and loved her class! She's so funny. Enjoyed the material even though I am a stem major she makes the subject very interesting. She's very understanding as well, she told us she usually requires a presentation for a final but had us not do it because she understood how some people get nervous to present. Highly recommend.
Don't be fooled by the high score. I am an A student, and her class is the most confusing class I have ever taken. She does give a lot of feedback, but you still get low scores after you submit your answers with all your efforts. Sociology shouldn't be like this. . . Just do not take her class
Jills the real MVP haha I had an problem with my FAFSA and she let me crash kinda late!!! It was tough catching up but she helped me and i learned more in this class in just a week than when i tried to take the class last year but had to drop it because of work. I think I could have gotten an A but I missed the last paper.
I think the amount of assignments and the difficulty is reasonable for the class. I definitly learned a lot and didn't have to kill myself for a good grade. I recommend her for anyone. Just do your work and enjoy the class :)
Professor Biondo gives great topics to discuss and makes the class enjoyable. Topics are all new and engaging. She gives you feedback on your papers and participation in discussions is required. Not a lot of homeworks assigned so you can take this class along with possibly harder classrooms knowing that you will have plenty of spare time.
Out of the many professors I've had, she gives the best feedback. She is a great professor.
Professor Biondo is hands down amazing! She gives clear direction and is available anytime you need help. She truly cares about her students. She is supportive & caring. She comments on your essays. The feed back is nice. Being that this class was online the comments gave me a clear understanding of what I did good at, and where I could improve.
Professor Biondo is by far one of the nicest, positive professors I have had. Her assignments are clear, she is reachable at any time, and what motivated me the most was her positive feedback. I would recommend her 100 times over. Take her class you wont regret it. Regarding assignments, we had asignemtns and quizzes every wee, tests are open book
Super chill and approachable. Allows you extra time on assignments if you contact her without negatively effecting your grade. Assignments are super easy and quizzes are cake. One 3 page essay close to the end of the semester which was do-able.
