Amazing Professor! Fun, easy class if you do your work! Attendance is mandatory, show up and do your best. She pushes you to be an awesome college student and not just slide by. Take her! :)
She has a bubbly personality and is always there to help. Her assignments are easy to understand and you should get an easy A in this class.
Class structure: Lectures, power points, group presentations, and a heavy emphasis on personal discussion. She wants you to feel empowered and succeed. Grading:The grading is fair and if you email it early she'll respond quickly with comments that will turn a C- paper into an A+ one. How to turn in work: Online through Blackboard.
Awesome professor. Uses powerpoints and youtube videos to explain. Shes always there to answer your questions. Not just a professor but works in the answer center so you can go to her for that too. She makes the classroom a comfortable environment. Take her :)
Professor Brooker is excellent. You need her and she's there. Her classwork may seem like busy work but as long as you show up to class, you'll pass. Plain and simple. And her personality is great.
She is seriously the best professor ever! She is extremely helpful and loving and super nice. She always gives second chances and is super understandable when it comes to personal issue. I recommend her completely! She managed to make a crappy class fun.
This class is all about getting to know and helping yourself. All the assignments she gives are so easy, there's just a lot. She constantly updates grades, clear about what needs to be done, and very understanding. There are NO TESTS! She really wants al of her students to succeed and gives a lot of extra credit opportunities.
This professor is probably the best professor i've had so far. she is always there for you and its easy work. shes so amazing and super nice and funny. shes easy to get along with. PLEASE HAVE HER! shes a delight! her work is a lot, but its easy and she can help you out in the long run. take her. she's the best. i love her!
Awesome Professor!!!!! So chill and a laid back teacher. She is very helpful and supportive and likes to give good feedback on your work. The workload is a bit much but manageable. 10 out of 10!
the most amazing professor you can ever have! she interacts with all her students and she's really understanding. every class meet, it was like hanging out with your friends. everyone in the class was like a family; there was no judgement at all. it was such a joy! the work is a lot, but it's not hard!
Great Professor. Show up to class and keep up with the few, easy assignments and you'll be fine!
She's nice and will work with you. Her assignments aren't difficult at all just make sure you turn them in on time. She will continue to remind you when something's do so you won't forget. I highly recommend her.
Professor Brooker is the best professor Ive had. She loves her job, and loves to help others. SLS has a lot of busy work, but its not her choice to give all this busy work. I highly recommend her to everyone, I GOT EMOTIONAL OUR LAST DAY IN CLASS BECAUSE I LOVED HER CLASS SO MUCH.
A really cool teacher that relates to the student, to be honest the class shouldn't be necessary but she at least made it entertaining and simple. Almost a video every day as well as homework that is mostly opinionated, if your gonna take NSE or any class that she teaches definitely take her.
This class is a nice break from all your other mundane college courses. This is the type of class that you will look forward to going to, and if you do your assignments, you will do well. She is very helpful and will guide you in the right direction for your college career, not to mention she is super hot.
This class has inspired me like no other. It emphasizes on your future and yourself. I wouldn't have found my passion if it wasn't for Professor Brooker. She guides, encourages, and motivates you like no other professor will. She's a very nice teacher and loves nothing more than to help you. I guarantee you will find your passion. I know I did.
Super awesome professor. It is an easy a class. Just do your work and she will notice your effort and help you with everything you need. Take her class, you won't regret it!
Professor Brooker obviously enjoys her job and cares about her students success and overall well-being. There is a bit of homework but it is not difficult. Anyone who fails did so by choice.
Professor Brooker enjoys her job and it reflects in the way that she teaches. She genuinely cares for her students and will help in any matter concerning school or personal, the only way to fail is if you choose to.
Professor Brooker is by far one of the coolest professors at Valencia. She's funny and relatable and really breathes life into the NSE class. She makes it super easy to understand everything and assignments are always due at the same time. There's never any tests but she is one for group projects and class participation.
Took New Student Experience online with Professor Brooker and it was the most influential class I've taken in college so far. She's an extremely friendly and helpful professor and I'd recommend taking this class with her.
Professor Brooker is there for you, she makes sure you understand the assignments and shes gives you a fair shot at re submitting a assignment that you failed.
Professor Brooker is a phenomenal teacher, she gives clear, concise instructions and provides useful feedback. She also offers help if needed, I'd definitely recommend taking her class!
She's An Amazing Teacher clear on what she requieres for the class . i retook it to get a better grade and im doing much better because she's clear on what she whats for each assignment she gives.
I took professor Brooker for an online class but she is amazing. She gives a lot of extra credit opportunities and as long as you turn in all of the assignments you WILL get an A no doubt. Easy grader as long as you participate. I would definitely take another class of hers.
Probably the best teacher you could take for this class. Class sucks but this professor makes it fun. Love Professor Brooker!
She is awesome !
As a Teacher she has ways to make us more independent and also be responsible to make our own future a better one with our own Majors/Careers.
Ms. Brooker was a very nice professor. She was always available when I needed her assistance. Graded my work on time and kept me motivated to move on. I knew where I was weak and where I needed help with her comments. Great supporter. Would take another class with her.
Group projects are not an easy task when taking an online class, and in my opinion, adds more stress to the course than helps. The professor was amazing and helped a lot through good feedback and on time grading. It's an easy class because it is build around you. You don't learn a material but rather learn about yourself. This class It's a must!
Professor Brooker is an absolutely wonderful person. Besides her personality, her teaching style is very helpful, and it seems as if she genuinely cares about all of her students that try.
Literally, she is one of my favorite professors! She grades fairly quickly and always provide helpful feedback. Lots of homework, but its an easy grade if you put in the effort.
She's an amazing teacher her videos, online notes, textbook and syllabus was extremely helpful I never found myself knowing what to look forward to each week it was easily found on blackboard.
She is the best teacher you can take for this course! She is there for you if you need anything.
Easy class. You have to try hard to actually fail this class or simply just not care at all. There's a few presentations but even that isn't so bad. Great professor and such an easy A. I learned a lot about myself in this course. Didn't expect that. Would take her again if she taught other courses.
She is a great teacher who assigns homework. If you do the work you will pass with no problems. at some point a lot of work is assigned at once but it is all easy.
She is very easy to understand, respectful, and understanding. She is always willing to help with anything you need, whether it is personal or school related. The work it is not difficult just do it and you will pass.
A good teacher, will allow time to make up an assignment for half the credit. Be prepared for a lot of writing. Not as easy as some would think.
I learned more than I ever expected. She is very dedicated to her job. That means be prepared to work for your grade.
She's a great teacher and works with you. I took this online but I wish I took it on campus instead, I feel like I would've enjoyed it more. But overall, I'd take another class if she was teaching it.
If you have to take this class take it with Professor Brooker she is awesome and want her students to do well. You have to do Mandatory Assignments outside of class but they are easy to do and write a reflection according to the rubic and you will get an easy A. Attendance is a plus in this class and be on time. There are also fun group projects.
That she gives good feedback on our assignments, and that she makes sure that you participate in the discussions. You have to complete the work to pass the class.
Professor Brooker is amazing! She really helps you out academically and personally. This class is so easy.
shes really great, anybody taking SLS next semester i would require her anyday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great professor but gives a lot of work due weekly. Overall, great professor and i would take her again.
She is seriously so nice and always willing to help anyone. I still get emails from her offering her help! Yes there is a lot of work but it comes with the class. Brooke does it really easy to do though. She loves shows little clips and pictures very motivational. You only need the textbook for one assignment really and the code it comes with.
Literally the best professor I've had since being in college, she genuinely cares about all of her students and is there for you for anything you can possibly be going through. The assignments may seem pointless but I promise it is SO worth it, professor brooker really opened my eyes and helped me realize where I want to be in the future. TAKE HER.
It requires homework but it's necessary. You are planning your career. for me, was really helpful and the professor is very understandable. She is nice and easy to talk.
Professor Brooker is amazing! She actually wants her students to do well and help them transition easier to Valencia. There is a lot of busy work, but it is required the course itself. She's great at answering emails and/or any questions you have-- I am super glad I took her this semester. As long as you do the work, you will get an A!
Professor Brooker is here to help the students and really cares. She loves what she does and it shows during class. Would take her again for sure!
Great Teacher , I think she is the best.
Professor was overall a good professor. I did well in this class, but I did put in effort. Don't think because it is an intro class it will be easy. The only downside was I have to work nearly full time hours to manage my bills and things come up and she does not accept late work. If you have a really busy schedule you may wanna take someone else.
Professor Brooker is everything you would want in a professor. She is both personable and professional. She really guides you through the course and is very exact on her grading criteria. As long you put in the effort, you will definitely get an A. I worked almost a full time job and still found time for her assignments. Overall, she is awesome.
Show up to class and complete assignments and you should get an easy A
Thats the realest professor ever, indescribable
She is very helpful and gives you clear feedback. Submit your work on time and you'll be golden. I love the discussions, they are very interesting and I actually enjoy posting in them. Easiest online class I had. Definitely recommend.
To be totally honest I didn't expect much out of this class with being a transfer student, But this Professor has helpful many many times! Shes constantly giving feedback on Homework and checks in on her students. Weekly video updates! LOTS OF WORK THOUGH ! be prepared! don't slack off or you get caught off guard.
Professor Brooker was great.
Professor Brooker is an awesome Professor! There is a lot of work, but very straight forward. She keeps the class very fun and is a lot of help if you any questions about classes or anything at all really. Take this class and it will definitely help you figure out where you want to go and what you have to do to get there.
She is really nice and she is an awesome teacher. She is really there for you when you need her
Best teacher I have had in a long time, super helpful, is always there for you. She can definitely make you laugh. Makes the class feel like a big family. I would seriously recommend this professor to everyone that has to take NSE
Professor Brooker is great teacher. She is easy to talk to, about anything. CHECK BLACKBOARD!!!!! The final is really not that hard.
Professor Brooker is hands-down one of the best professors on East Campus. She makes you feel comfortable and basically gives you what you need to be successful. She's forgiving/there for you/doesn't want you to fail, but also won't put up foolishness. Loves food. Group work isn't too bad because you do actually make friends.
This professor is so great! She is always there for her student ! As long as your doing all the work, you will get an A for sure! There is a lot of work to do, but it is very easy because it's always about you! I really love this professor!
I took Professor Brooker for New Student Experience and she was fantastic! Only 4 big projects including one group project, and never ending extra credit! You need to do all the work and be very involved, but it is worth it. Hilarious, helpful, and kind. Definately take this class, it will help you plan your furure!
Professor Brooker is hands down one of the best professors I have had. She is very relaxed and down to earth and funny. She makes you feel comfortable and I think it is great she doubles as your advisor. If you have to take SLS1122 take her and you won't regret it. Sometimes the work is hard but she gives you plenty of time to do it!
10 out of 10 do it again she is awesome like you are sleeping if you do not get her.
Professor Brooker makes class very fun with her bubbly personality. I definitely recommend taking this class with her. The assignments are not that difficult just do your work and don't procrastinate. Most of the assignments will seem pointless but in the end you will realize that they actually will help you plan for your future.
She's just overall really great
Easy grade, Its not a hard class just keep up with the assignments. She gives extra credit and if you need any help shes's willing to help in any way.
She's a great professor! Always do your homework and you will pass and have a great time during her class
Easy class to pass, just make sure you turn in all assignments on time. Some mandatory assignments were very helpful on determining my career choice. Few group projects. plenty of extra credit.
If you put in the work, and turn in the assignments on time you will do fine, and enjoy the class.
One of the best professors all round a very great person.
She's a funny teacher who respects her students and makes sure they pass her class by talking to them individually. Her accent is a bonus it's funny at first in a good way but you get use to it.
She has respect for her students. Sometimes her work may seem tedious but they're easy to do and as long as you do the work you'll pass, but really it's your choice weather you want to pass or fail. Overall she's a great professor and a even better advisor.
This class had a lot of fun ice-breaker type activities that made class a lot more enjoyable. I got to know a lot of the people in my class , and found out some interesting new things from them.
Amazing Professor!!! She made this class so fun and interesting. I made so many new friends taking this class.
She is an awesome teacher who gives great feedback and is always willing to help each student with any question or problem that they are having trouble with.
Wonderful woman who will do her hardest to help you but only if you put in the work.
She is a really great professor she makes sure the assignments are clearly stated and everything is easy to find on blackboard. As long as you attend class and do the assignments which are not difficult you will be fine. Assignments are always due Sunday at 11:59 pm which makes it easy as well.
Really great professor! I took her online class and she posts a video each week explaining what is expected and how to do the assignments--which was very helpful. Lots of extra credit opportunities were available, as well. Overall, a great experience.
Literally my favorite teacher. I wouldn't of gotten into UCF without her help! 10/10 recommend her for anyone!
always answers questions quickly
She is an amazing professor, she cares about students and makes it clear she does. Her class was a pleasure to be in.
Professor Brooker is super nice and an easygoing teacher. She does have an attendance policy. This class has a lot of work (not hard but lengthy) but that is just the course itself. She even tries to lessen your course load. Highly suggest taking her, it makes the class less boring.
I hated that I had to take this class but Prof Brooker made it so much better. She's so funny, really personable and honestly cares about her students. It was refreshing to have a professor like her, she is definitely the BEST prof to take for this class.
This class is really engaging and makes one focus on doing their work as soon as possible. The Professor is really fun and enjoys to see her class having fun as long as they behave and are respectful. Always be respectful to your classmates a be interactive it counts to your grade. As well make sure to follow her rules and you will be fine.
This class was not hard, however it required a lot of hard work. The professor was very nice, but she took due dates very seriously. In order to succeed, stay on top of your work and complete it entirely.
Very nice but in this class you will be doing lot of group projects.
Professor Brooker was by far my favorite professor, learned a lot about myself from her class
she is one of my favorite professor. this course is a little boring but she made it work. she always encourages you to complete your work. she is well organized as well.
She's a very caring professor, makes you feel super included in her class. The activities in this class were very useful and helpful to outside of the classroom towards what you want to do with your future and career.
Literally the best professor in all of Valencia, she really cares and this class really helps you with your future and talking in front of people. TAKE TAKE TAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even though this class seems pointless seriously take her!!!
Fun class, just quite a bit of monotonous work. A lot of the work can actually help students, but I do not believe all the course work is applicable or useful for all students.
She is cool professor. Gives a lot of work but not all is mandatory. Its a fun and interactive class but no need to participate if you are shy. Professor gives a lot of extra credit. There is a lot of writing but is an easy grader. The only SLS professor I would recommend because she is also an advisor.
Professor Brooker is the best professor you will find in your college career. She truly cares so much for her students. She explains everything very thoroughly. She also makes you feel comfortable in the class. All group projects and assignments will help so much for the future. There also isn't much hard work, all work is about you.
This professor is amazing and a blast to be around. Depending on your class and the people in it you will be having fun when doing her work. She is caring and if you have any type of situation that conflicts with class, talk to her and she will understand. But don't make up excuses or mess around or you are in for a big surprise.
Professor Brooker is amazing!!! every single assignment that she gives out helps you a lot. You gain knowledge and learn about yourself and many other things that are useful or make you think before you do or say something. I have to say that I wasn't expecting to get so much benefit from this class. Thank you for making this course mandatory.
She is a great teacher. At first, I thought this class was going to be completely pointless, but over the course, I learned alot of important tips about my degree, and she actually helped me pick a more specific path. She doesn't except late work, so if you don't do the work, its really easy to fail. Just do the work and you will be okay.
She's clear with instructions, and gives good feedback.
Professor Brooker is amazing! She is one of the many who don't assign AS many assignments as the course requires. There is a lot of busy work, just make sure you stay on top of your stuff and finish work early if you can! She is funny and one of the few professors who do genuinely care about their students!
Took online course for spring 2017 semester and she was great. you get what you put in. I missed a 100 point assignment and a few discussions and I think Im pulling a B avg. Professor Brooker is understanding and will responds to emails in a quick, timely manner. She wants to help as much as possible. Assignments are easy, some require more work.
Professor Brooker is the best of the best. I took her class on-line and it made me feel as if I was physically in her class. I love her weekly videos informing her students what assignments are due that week and what is expected. She is truly very caring and always enthusiastic and eager to help her students.
Literally the class is all about yourself, so it SHOULD be easy. Professor Brooker makes it even easier because she gives you everything you need to succeed. There is a lot of homework but also a TON of extra credit opportunities.
Professor Brooker is excellent. She gives a lot of good feedback on assignments, provides copious amounts of extra credit. She posts videos explaining the next assignment and how to do it. She's also very sweet.
Definitely a good teacher. Very fair, answers questions quickly, gives good explanations too. I would take her again as a teacher, hands down!
She was an amazing professor and I highly, HIGHLY recommend taking her. Her online class was the most organized class I've taken at Valencia and I'm very pleased with her teaching methods. She includes discussions throughout the semester and walks you through week by week what is expected of you. She's there for her students and very respectful.
She makes sure that you submit your assignments on time by constantly sending you A LOT of messages. She gets nervous when only a few students submit their assignments, even though the assignment is due in three days.
She is a really good professor and she cares about each of her students
She's an amazing professor and she really cares about her students. She's clear with the assignments and she gives A LOT of extra credit opportunities.
Great professor for SLS, as long as you do the assignments you will pass. Her saying is you get what you put in and it's definitely true. Class is a judgement free zone and you make great friends. Chill class overall and LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT
Love, love, love Professor Brooker! She is very understanding about different things! If you take her for this class, she will be your advisor and will help you with whatever you need! Not hard material, just do the work and you will pass! Gives A LOT of extra credit opportunities and will help you with whatever you need TAKE HER IF YOU CAN
Professor Brooker is an amazing professor, she makes the classroom an easy place to come and make friends in. Don't piss her off, do your work and you will pass. Remember: she isn't giving a lot of homework, the course requires a lot of work. This course is beneficial and Professor Brooker is by far the best SLS teacher. Love her.
Professor Brooker is an amazing professor. She truly cares about her students and student success. They're is a lot of work but all the work will help you throughout your college career and it's really easy work, she's not boring and makes an effort to make you comfortable in the class. I highly recommend taking her.
Great teacher, fun and entertaining
Professor Brooker is a great SLS teacher, and she really makes you feel comfortable in the class. She really cares and wants you to do well in her class and in life :)
Professor Brooker is amazing. She cares about all of her students success & gives you all the tools you need to be successful. She is very efficient and grades everything in a timely manner with great feedback. All the work that she gives you is for your own benefit and not hard at all. If you want to be success in college take her class!
If you are confused on what you would like to pursue in life or even if you know what you want to do, i recommend this is the class for you. Professor Brooker helps you get a better understanding of life.
Professor Booker was one of the best professors I had this year. She is very approachable when you have questions. She gives extra credit to help improve our grades in the class. She puts us in groups to get us to become more social able. I believe Professor Booker is one of he best.
Vey caeing, wants you to be successful throughout your college experience.
Prof. Brooker knows what she's doing. Her purpose is to teach students to develop their abilities and help them to communicate better, especially in a group. After taking this class, students will able to create a personal purpose, their values, goals, interests, and strengths. There are more but you have to take this course to find out the rest.
I would recommend this teacher! She is absolutely great! My big advice to you all, is to get your work in on time. That was honestly my biggest mistake. For 2 or 3 assignments, which could honestly bring you down from an A to a C. But she does give out lots of extra credit opportunities. I honestly would take her again!
This class was an easy A. She's very helpful and is a sweet lady. She has a few extra credit opportunities which helps if you need it. Just make sure you turn your work in on time. She grades pretty quickly and leaves good feedback. I'd take her again.
Professor Brooker is one of the best. You can tell that she really enjoys what she does, She gives s much extra credit its ridiculous. She also takes the time to try and get to know her students and everything is really clear and organized in her class. She is really easy to talk to and knows what she is doing.
She is really caring about everyone. That if someone has trouble with something. she would pull aside the person.
Took Professor Brooker's Hybrid course. She lays out all the material online as well as in the classroom. We always know what we need to do ahead of time plus she gives tons of extra credit. Really nice person and definitely one of the best Professors I've ever had.
Professor Brooker is one of the only professors on campus who truly cares for the well being of her students and makes sure they succeed. She gives a lot of extra credit (over 100 points worth of it) and her class activities are fun yet the class is simple and straight to the point. Highly recommend her!
I am taking the hybrid course. Although i came into this class hating to do half online, I was able to learn a lot from it. This class was not easy but you earn the grade for the work you put in. Professor Brooker is an awesome teacher and i highly recommend this class, either hybrid or full face to face, this is for your best potential life.
Such a fun and passionate professor. She made class enjoyable and was very clear with every assignment. I took the hybrid class and although I was disappointment walking into it, I ended up enjoying half online and half in person. This class showed me I could handle a hybrid class. Professor Brooker will make you wish you could see her twice a week
Amazing professor would recommend and take again if I could
Professor Brooker is very nice but this cores has to much work and lengthy homework.
A funny and sarcastic teacher and is someone who is really helpful. She is a tough grader on the final project and attendance is mandatory.
Makes class very fun and enjoyable. Grading criteria is very clear and you need to pay attention to everything that she explains in class because you might miss something important. Best professor ever!
Professor Brooker made my online class experience very enjoyable and tolerable. This class is based on learning how to navigate through your success in college. I would recommend students to take this class.
I love this class and professor
Professor Brooker is amazing. She says what is on her mind and gives excellent feedback. Her assignments will prepare you for the college life and help you be a successful student. Take her class because she is not like the other professors.
She is awesome!
Alot of assignments. Be prepared to work. Do not miss an assignment or you will fall behind.
She is an awesome teacher and the work is easy !
Professor Brooker is a cocky professor she knows she is the best. She wants nothing but the best for her students, she actually cares! She gives a lot of busy work, very easy, but you actually have to do it! You cannot miss class or you will not pass. Be ready to laugh and to engage in class room discussions. Overall, have fun :)
Professor Brooker is a wonderful teacher. Her main goal for her students is to take advantage of the resources she provides so you can get the best of your future academic goals. She can be a tough grader and push her students to complete weekly assignments, but she is doing it to assist students to explore formulating their purpose in life.
She is always filled with positive vibes and a great instructor.
Very caring,and enthusiastic about her class. Always comes prepared and the lectures aren't boring. Assignments are explained thoroughly and are not complicated. As long as you do the work on time, show up to class and be respectful you will get an A. Plenty of extra credit options and she communicates by email quickly and is enjoyable to talk to.
This course really helped me to focus more on my future plans and steps to becoming the person that I want to be in 5 years. Professor Brooker is amazing, I would absolutely take the course again along with the same Professor!
Her work is so easy, legit no way not to get an A
She is very cool and caring.
Professor Brooker is hands down the best professor I have had since I have been at Valencia. I was in her hybrid course, and I love it. Brooker is super caring, super real, and cares about your grades. She will tell you this is a class of life, and it is. Brooker is always down to help out if you have a question, and always responds to emails also.
Professor Brookers' class was an amazing experience! She's always quick to grade, provide feedback (which is supportive) and encourages you to develop personally. I couldn't be more happy with her class. I highly recommend her to anyone going to college for the first time. She's amazing!
Great teacher, really makes you reflect on yourself.
She is very helpful, and Professor Brooker stays on top of you via email a lot of the time to make sure you are getting your work done. She really wants people to pass. As long as you listen to her, and do the work, she will work with you.
Easy HW, just time consuming.
Professor Brooker really cares and you can see that from the way she teaches. Also how she includes videos every week on how to do that weeks assignments. There is a lot of work but as long as you stay on top of it you will be fine.
Professor Brooker lays out each week with an explanation video. She gives links to examples and answers any questions you have. She provides great feedback on assignments. As long as you put the work in, you will do great!
Fun class. A good amount of work but it's easy.
This teacher would be amazing if she was not so snarky. She comes across as aggressive and often times finds humor in belittling. I found it stressful working with under her hot and cold demeanor. Believe this -Do not trust her request for an honest assessment of her teaching style. She does not do well with constructive criticism.
A boring and pointless class, but she makes it bearable. She explains each assignment in so much detail (and provides videos of what to do) that there's no way you could do the assignments wrong. She gives full on credit on everything except the Final Project.
I took the class for credit, and it was definitely more work than I would have expected, but it definitely could have been worse. Professor Brooker is very helpful with an situation involving Valencia, and if it is something out of her control, she knows who and how to direct you towards success.
Professor Brooker was AMAZING! She genuinely cares about the students and loves her job. She does assign a lot of work, but if you pay attention and do it, you'll be fine. She supplies plenty of extra credit. Her lectures are interactive and fun! Love her!!
Professor Brooker really does care about her students and does try to help them in any way that she can. Show up and do all the work and you will pass the class
She is the best professor! Super funny and nice. You won't want to skip her class. Only has homework once a week. Not a hard grader!
Professor Brooker is the best! Definitely would take her again if I could. Shes very caring about her students and wants all of her students to succeed. I was able to have a clear view of what my purpose in life was and what I wanted to do in life (career wise).
She is a great professor. She offers chances for extra credit and has one homework due a week. She truly cares about her students and she knows a lot about the majors at Valencia.
Professor Brooker is probably the best professor to teach SLS. She explains all her work thoroughly & gives great feedback on the work. This class was an easy A, you do not have a lot of homework. I would still take this class very serious because you learn so much information in planning your future.
Take Professor Brooker for SLS1122. She's one of the best professors and she learns about you. If you need someone to talk to, she is always there.
She is good but sometimes takes thngs too seriously for a class that is just about college life.
By participation matters, what I mean is thats one of her main focuses. She wants you to engage. She is passionate of what she does n that you have a take away for each lesson.
Professor Brooker is very caring about our work and that we succeed in class as well as life. She wants us to have the tools and knowledge we need. She is accessible and understanding of many things. Often knows before I do, what it is I need to look for. She is kind and gives good feedback.
Shes overall great!
She is an okay teacher. The only thing is this class a stupid class that is required to take so I don't understand why she would give out SO MUCH HOMEWORK. It's like she wanted to make it hard because it was a stupid required class. Anyways. I got had an A+ the whole time so do the homework and your fine. Just annoying how much homework.
This class wouldve been a complete joke but professor Brooker makes it completely relatable and funny. This course does have a lot of homework but if you do it you will get an A.
Shes a nice professor, gives feedback after turning in your assignment. Gives so much work for such a dumb class its crazy, grades quick and is picky but to an extent. Just make sure you do all the work and youll do just fine.
Professor Brooker is hands down the best teacher you will take at Valencia. She is so insightful and is not afraid to tell you the truth. The class is kind of dumb not gonna lie, but she makes it fun. I did a mixed mode course and I wish I would've taken her normal classes they were a lot of fun, and you meet new people and learn so much.
Hands down one of the best teachers Ive ever had. She really cares about her students and does a great job creating a comfortable atmosphere. The class is super easy as all you have to do is follow directions and do your work on time and you should have an easy A. 10/10 would recommend this class and Professor Brooker.
Great professor for NSE I would recommend taking her at Valencia.
LOVE her and this class sooo much!! If you can get into her class before it fills DO IT!!!!
Hands down the best teacher I have ever had. She is super patient and cares about every student she has and will do anything she can to help you succeed. I learned more about myself in this class than I have in a longer period of time. She is super out going and will make you feel very comfortable. If theres one teacher id take again its her.
Easy. I took Prof. Brooker for New Student experience, and although the class was a little pointless for me, it isn't hard to get an A in. All you have to do is follow the directions, and be at least a little genuine. She has assignments that make you think really inward, but I found there wasn't really enough time for that depth. Lots of EC too.
While this class did involve some assignments that required a lot of work, majority of it was very beneficial, especially if it's your first year in college and everything is new. Professor Brooker is very caring and makes class fun. As long as you turn in your assignments, it'll be an easy A
Professor Brooker is hands down, the most caring and genuine professor I've ever had. She truly cares, for each and every one of her students. The class is extremely easy, as long as you do your work. Tons of extra credit as well. For new college students who are still trying to figure out their college career, this professor is extremely helpful
BEST TEACHER AT VALENCIA!!! I had such an amazing time in Professor Brooker's class. She does a lot of things as a group and her projects are very beneficial. She has very clear cut instructions for each assignment and helps you in any way she can. Very chill class all around but must show up to understand the material and in order to pass.
Professor Brooker really cares about her students and the class is pretty fun. You will make new friends for sure.
Professor Brooker really cares and loves her job. Her assignments really help you figure out your path and can be insightful. She's also pretty funny and plays lo-fi music before class starts.
Professor Brooker deeply cares about what you get out of this class. Not only is she an amazing professor, her class really helps to solidify your plan in life. You do need to be sure to submit things by the due dates, but she typically gives you a week to complete it. It is not a hard class, but be ready to be open and figure out your life!
I do not know where to even begin! This professor is the best one you will have. She gives out about 120 points of extra credit and her assignments are very easy. Her assignments will help you and you will get so much out of them. She really cares about her students and you can tell she loves her job. I cannot recommend her enough!
She is such an amazing professor! Genuinely so caring and nice. One of the only teachers/professors I've ever had who has told me she was proud of me. She is very helpful in figuring out what classes you should take throughout college. The work is very easy and isn't pointless, it's helpful. Definitely take her as an SLS teacher!
Professor Brooker was AMAZING! I took her for SLS122 and she was always there to help! There isn't a lot of work for her class and she gives extra credit. I had over 100% grade for the whole class. Just do the easy work she gives and you will pass. The information she provides is needed in school! Love her!!! Would definitely take her again.
Professor Brooker is very caring. She provides extra credit and is always trying to help students who struggle (though I wasn't one of them). You do have to participate and actually try, but it's a great class and she is wonderful. Provides many resources for success, grades fairly, and is VERY helpful. She is dedicated for sure.
Professor Brooker is by far the most helpful person I have met while studying at Valencia. She goes above and beyond to ensure you are reaching your goals in the classroom. She made what usually is a boring intro to college class (SLS1122) into a fun and informative experience. I looked forward to her classes every week! Take her!
Professor Brooker is great i would definitely recommend her. Her class is easy and actually helped me learn alot about my self. Her assignments are all pretty simple and as long as you do the work you should be able to get a good grade in this class.
Definitely recommend Professor Brooker! She is really personable, gives LOTS of extra credit options, NOTICES US (even with a lot of students, sent me a sweet message because I'm doing well), and keeps us updated with many announcements, replies to messages quickly, even if it is after hours!
I really enjoyed this class and it was a great opportunity to learn more about my future! Professor Brooker is very sweet and you can she really cares about her students. She does thoroughly check all assignments so make sure you put your real answer and do the actual research instead of guessing so you don't get points taken off. She is great! :)
Professor Brooker is a very genuine and affected professor. If you actually put effort and finish assignments on time you will pass.
Look there are so many good reviews for her and maybe it was because I was online but I really did not enjoy her class. You could do everything right on an assignment and still not get a 100. Nothing ever felt like it was good enough in her class and the work was very future based so if you have no plan then you are screwed and be prepared to work.
Professor cares about her students future, emphasized in workload. Plenty of extra credit assignments due before middle of semester. Grades by POINTS not percentages. Most assignments werent difficult but others required more research and thought. Doesnt accept late work. Final was a video of letter from future self. Not too hard but takes time.
Professor Kaitlyn is really nice and looks out for her students. She helps you to learn and understand what it is that you really truly want to do. Professor Kaitlyn gives reminders for when assignments are due so there is absolutely no reason for you to miss an assignment. She grades in points, so if you get 900 out of 1,000 thats an automatic A.
I'm going to be real with you guys. She's pretty chill. Honestly, just do your one weekly assignment, and you're all set. But, of course, don't slack off with your assignments and go with the flow in learning what you want to do in the future. Yes, she offers a lot of credit and has zoom calls in case you need help.Overall great online professor!
Professor Brooker was a really good teacher I would definitely take her again. It's a really simple class keep up with your daily assignments every week and you'll be fine. You have a final story project but its honestly so easy. I would 100% recommend taking this class. Especially if you have 3 other classes this class won't stress you out.
Professor Brooker is awesome. She loves her job and is a great advisor for her students. All she wants to do is help everyone. 1 major group project and a final story project. She's very witty and funny and was a great intro to my first semester of college. If she's your advisor when doing your online zoom orientation, TAKE HER!
Take her!! Honestly the best class. She really cares about every one of her students. She promotes making friends in class and gives us many fun activities. There is only one easy assignment a week and she almost always ends class early. 10/10 recommend Professor Brooker if you're looking for a comfort class.
I took this class online. It was very simple and easy. For the finals, it's a presentation (about your future self) you will need a script and record yourself, you have 2 weeks to do it and plan. During the whole course it will be what you want to study, the major/degree, and figuring it out. So you are basically preparing for the finals.
Professor Brooker was a great start to my first semester as a dual-enrollment student. She offered tons of extra credit and had very clear rubrics. The class was comfortable and she graded and responded to emails almost immediately. Take her!
Professor Brooker was amazing! She doubles as a NSE professor and a counselor so she's actually able to help with your degree planning too. She's very sweet and is always readily available to help. She provides clear grading rubrics and isn't tough on grading. Her assignments are useful and she offers lots of extra credit opportunities, easy pass!
Such a great class. Its so helpful with your pathway and life.
NSE class was not too hard and Prof. Brooker was great for online courses. Average amount of assignments that were long but could be finished easily. Lots of extra credit and final grades were graded on a 1000 pt scale (900=A,800=B). Only complaint is the work seemed to be a lot for an intro course compared to other, more "real" classes.
I took her class as a freshman on my first semester she was amazing I would have her as my counselor for all of eternity if I could She made a scary experience feel more welcoming she encourages you to make new friends You should absolutely take her She is strict on deadlines but she gives you enough time to complete everything and has extra credit
Prof. Brooker is very positive and energetic. She has good vibes and she cares for every student. This class was very very easy, there are some fun projects and opportunities. You will learn everything about Valencia college that is important in this class! TAKE THIS PROFESSOR NOW!
Awesome, kind, and caring teacher! Mrs. Brooker is certainly one of the best. I took her online class, and it was super easy and helps you navigate your career. She gives really good advice, and her assignments are fun! Would totally recommend her class :)
Professor Brooker's SLS1122 class was a great way to start my college journey. The workload was manageable, with fun assignments and plenty of extra credit opportunities. unstuck study AI was a game-changer for preparing for the final project. Highly recommend this class!
Prof Brooker is very supporting for students and answers any question you may have about the school. She cares about your academic plan and the homework she gives makes you prepare for the future, which is extremely helpful. She offers a bunch of extra credit and is very personable and easy to talk to, overall, would choose to take her class again!
She was great! From the start she went over the top with her students, even if it was for an hour once a week with so much energy for what she's doing. It's a pretty easy A as long as your following the directions for the assignments and even if you didn't do so well there's tons of extra credit opportunity's, Final is easy and simple in my opinion
Professor Brooker cares a lot about students and her profession. Very easy work, the final project is a bit huge in points and time consuming. She cares a lot about her profession and students which a lot of professors don't, I admire that. There isn't as much HW as everyone says. Super easy and fun class.
Read the reviews. She will be one of the best you ever had.
She is very caring and helpful, always answering questions about your classes, school, career, etc. She truly helps you prepare for the future. She makes class interactive and fun. Very easy and quick assignments. Provides plenty of extra credit. The final is a video, but it's easy. Overall, easy A. I recommend her class!
I loved Brooker! Participation and being on time mattered! I know this course isn't mandatory anymore, but she was amazing and brought value to our lives that wasn't just credit. I remember some of the assignments were annoying, and I missed a few of them because I was lazy, but if you try, you will be fine. She is super sweet and helped me so much
I absolutely loved taking Professor Brooker's class! The assignments + instructions were very clear, everything was organized, pacing of the class was perfect, and Professor Brooker herself is such a wonderful person. Assignments are always due Sundays @ 11:59pm and she sends email reminders on Saturdays if you haven't completed an assignment.
