Gives zeros if certain info not on scantrons. Quizes are more like tests and did I mention that you never know when you are going to be given a quiz. You MUST read your book and your notes and hopefully if you retain any of that overwhelming info, you should do well on your tests. Take her class by itself if you must.
I agree completely. This woman has no teaching structure. She puts you down for attending a community college, brags about herself constantly. I feel she is prejudice in her teachings. The quizzes are ridiculous -- they are like actual tests. She doesn't tell you what to study, nor does she give you time to study! Don't take her class!
Hard and doesn't explain things well
i agree her quizzes are like test, you never know when your going to have a quiz which is impossible to study for because in class she talks too fast and expects you to write down whats on the powerpoint when it goes 10secs each slide. and there are no handouts what so ever
She expects her clas to be your life
Really don't take this class unless you want your GPA to drop tremendously. Her quizzes are unbelivibly hard she doesn't like alot of her student very predjudce and won't help anybody for any reason whatsoever i just hope that you dont miss a day if you take her or she will not help you AT ALL!!!!!
The testing material does not match up with the material she provides and teaches in class.
Class material was not difficult. 2 short essays that you got to choose a topic from, 5 quizzes, 4 exams,she drops the lowest,she does NOT give homework they are optional activities..which don't count against you. #1.FOLLOW DIRECTIONS ALWAYS. #2. Show up to class. #3.Class Participation helps. If your in college to learn, you'll like her methods.
The last review is probably Ms. Bailey herself or one of her friends. I'm sorry, this professor was horrid. All the notes come from slides, which you have NO time to write down because she spends 5 seconds on each slide. She's rude, condescending, and really could care less about your grade. The fact that she posted a rebuttal is a bad sign.
The class would have been easy because the material is not difficult, the teacher however; turned a fun subject into a crappy class. I do not recommend this class, especially if your looking for a "Fun" Sociology class!
This class is not hard if you follow her instructions. I still passed this class with a b and didn't write one of the essays. As long as you do some of the CPA's you will do fine, also going to class helps!
Class is not difficult if you have good attendance and note taking skills. She offers alot of extra credit points. Do them, they help alot. Can be pretty anal about attendance and participation in class discussions.
Strict teacher but you know what to expect from her. Material is very rigid. Don't miss class and do all the extra credit and class participation. I don't recommend this class but it is passable if you put real effort into it, not a blow off class like anticipated.
Great teacher, great course. Would recommend to others/take another of her classes.
Don't take this class if your looking for a fun Sociology class. My major is Anthropology at UTA and I was taking this for a fun elective to transfer... .DON'T do it. I've made better grades from more intelligent professors. Seriously, she has issues with you if you come off as more intelligent than herself. Take another teacher.
Don't recommend her, she really turned a fun subject into a nightmare .... too much work for what it's worth. If your like her however, she'll probably like you. She picks favorites and is really anal...class started out with 35 ended up with 13.
Do not recommend this teacher. Rude and .... strict on things that do not matter. Don't take her unless you want to barely pass.
RUN!!! this woman is ridiculous! no test make ups period; if you miss a class and e-mail your paper to her she "doesn't get it" and acts likes she's doing you a favor to take your paper at all. very stuck up and gives terrible presentations
The professor accused her few remaining students she had left of cheating on her test, and she brought up racism and the fact that she was oppressed by society in every class period. I got tired of her negative attitude, and couldn't stand to hear it anymore.
Must attend every class. It's not very difficult, but she assigns a lot of work. LOTS of quizzes and tests, she does, however assign extra credit. Some of the material I thought was irrelevant. Like on a question on a test asking what race is the most arrested and the answer being "whites". Class is all based on notes and movies, no textbook use.
I really don't understand why her rating is so extremely low! I've taken her for two classes, both of which I've made over 100% in. Sure, you have to do the reading, show up for class, and GASP! maybe even study for a test, but those are hardly ridiculous requirements IN COLLEGE. She gives an enormous amount of extra credit opportunities also.
she expects so much out of a useless subject, if you don't put the exact number you need she won't grade your exams and will not work to help it. very hard for a subject i got an A on with a different professor, she made me hate sociology
The only good comments about this professor are probably written BY her! I agree with the last comment; she definitely dislikes white people a great deal. Her tests probably wouldn't be that hard if she actually gave you the right stuff to study and gave you time to study! Kiss the ground she walks on, and you might pass with a C.
Stay away from her! Seriously, she has problems. Every single comment I've read on here, besides the good ones which were prob written by her are TRUE. She makes a fun subject extremely hard and boring. This was an INTRO class, I understand college means studying more and more but her class is RIDICULOUS. STAY AWAY!!
This Teacher is rediculous!!!She Gives Hard Tests with no review and Unanounced quizes..Please do not take this class!!!!
I had her over the summer and I thought she was a really good teacher, she told us that we would have pop quizzes just like every other professor I have ever had. Yes you had to study but it was easy if you showed up. She made our class fun and everyone participated.
This professor is extremely hard. The whole class period is nothing but notes so it is very important that you attend class every single day. She also gives pop quizzes and her tests are hard. This class requires a lot of work so if you decide to take it be very prepared!
Bad Teacher!Uses old material,teaches sociology at tcc like were in grad school.Save your GPA and dont take her
Love love love my Ms. Bailey. She is tough but if you show up and follow through you can make it. She encourages you to ask questions and participate. If you dont get something just go to her office and find out what went wrong. Shes a good christian woman and wants to help. This is college so if you dont get it ASK FOR HELP!! Love her!
Mrs. Bailey makes you use the book for studying. However, when it comes to review, she does not have a written one and you must "lead the review" for class. In other words, you must ask questions. However, you may not ask, "Will it be necessary to know this...for the test?"
She teaches from old books.This is a very difficult class! I would not recommend taking her!
This class requires 100% dedication with Bailey
Definatly a difficult teacher. You need to pay attention to all of the "Rules" on every sheet of paper she give, this is Highly important because they change. She will quiz you over the material before the chapter is completed by the class. I don't find her lectures to be very helpful when gathering info about a subject. VERY VERY hard class.
I got an A in this class. It was easy if you do all of the work. She responded fast to Questions. You do have to do some projects. And save your notes! She wants them at the end of the class.
The material covered is easy BUT she is EXTREMELY OCD about every little thing. If you do not fill out a scantron correctly, or do not put titles in order on papers... you will most likely receive a zero for the whole thing. Ridiculous. Wouldn't recommend her AT ALL
At first I thought her class would be difficult due to her presentation of the course outline. Many people complained and whined because they were unable to follow instructions provided by Mrs Bailey. Good teacher and really knows the material. She expects you to actually participate in the lecture, read your chapters and do your assignments.
Great teacher! She teaches using tons of visual aids and provides outlines. Book is easy to follow. Tests are based on both notes and class discussion. Word of advice: show up everyday, email her if you can't, make sure you follow her instructions to a T.
This is THE hardest prof. I've ever had. I LOVE Sociology and she nearly ruined it for me. Not only is she unclear about what you should know, she tries to make every definition her own. It's really frustrating to sit in class and listen to her. She is the goddess of her class and everything must be HER way, including how you perceive things.
Great visuals, easy to follow, the book is easy as well. Just listen to what she says because she will hint at what is on the test. She posts outlines on campus cruiser so look at those for an easy A. Email her if you miss a class, she is helpful.
I did not like this class at all. Tests were not terribly hard. She wants you to read the whole chapter and take a quiz over it before you even learn it. Very strict and not the nicest.
She was a great teacher. If you don't like to read the book or actually participate, don't expect to pass this class. She requires students to actually pay attention and participate in lectures (unlike others). She wasn't that hard on grading, very understanding. Basically you can pass if you take notes and listen carefully.
I finished about 5 points short of an A in this class with an 89.3 in the grade book. I asked her if she could bump my grade up to an A to maintain my 4.0 GPA I've held over these first 2 years of college. Denied me. This is an attendance must class if you want an A. Greatly hurt my opinion of her to not have a sliver of leeway even if an A is defined as 89.5 and above to her. Oh well
She is passionate about the subject matter and is clear about what she expects. Participation in discussions and group projects is a must for her. She gives frequent extra credit and outlines. Her tests and quizzes are easy enough, if you do the reading. If you attend class and put forth some effort you will pass.
One of the best professors that I've had so far. The class itself is not hard if you are there, on time, and i you pay attention. In other words you get what you put in, she was very helpful at all times, she will always rspond to your emails and remind you of what is due when it's due. Was Always very clear. I loved her.
I loved the way this professor taught. attendance is very important and ur syllabus is your best friend. Videos and cpas are real important and extremely helpful with your grades and test. she will tell you campus cruiser is very important to look at each day because some things she fails to mention will be on there. id take this class again.
This prof. is never clear about what she wants. She offers to have you come to her office for help/tutoring, and for many other students and myself, it doesn't work. Her tests are hard to review for and she puts trick questions on the test. I am no longer interested in Sociology because of Krisler.
Never clear about anything she expects from assignments. She says one thing but expects another. Don't ever ask her any questions, because she won't answer them. Save yourself the trouble and pick a different instructor that actually cares about his/her students.
all the bad comments below describe her perfectly
All in all, I believe she is a fair professor. I was REQUIRED to take this Transition to College class, so I went in with a sour attitude to begin with; this may have colored my opinion of her. The grading was challenging/strict and the assignments online were a bit boring. If you put forth effort, you will make a good grade.
this proffesor is very interesting. She expects you to do the work and makes everything available to you on the sylibus at the beggining of the term, so if you ask a question she will say, "check the sylubis" She pushes you to do your best. if you want an easy class look somewhere else. If you want to be chalenged and learn something Bailey's for u
I didnt have a problem with the class but I did have a problem with the way she taught. She is very condescending and disrespectful towards the students.She treats the class like a kindergarden class. She is not very approachable although she claims we need to keep in constant contact with her.I would recommend selecting a different professor!
Mrs. Bailey ruined Sociology for me. I have a 4.0 GPA except for her class. I made a D and whenever I tried to get help from her, she was confusing, asked trick questions, and would not listen to anyone. We all talked to her a few times and she thought that we just needed to read more. I do NOT recommend her.
This is a very challenging class! She is a good teacher, but it is SUPER INTENSE. I have never had to drop a class, but I did with this one because it was too much work for an introductory class, and I thought I deserved better than a C. Her grading system is by the amount of points you earn.
I thoroughly enjoyed her course. I thought she had expectations but they were not hard to meet. She is very clear on what she expects and they are easy to reach with commitment. However,I am a Social Science major and am passionate about the subject. She is an encouraging professor and is well organized.
Um, I'd venture to say the review below is by Bailey herself. She makes the content far too complicated, insists you think what she thinks, and makes your semester of Sociology much too difficult.
I wish I would have checked this site out before I registered for her class. I can already tell i'm going to have issues with her just from her first assignment. Who needs 3 sources(not from textbook) on a one page paper? I'm not going to the library for one page. Just seems ridiculous.
This is NOT an easy class. It was super interesting but you will receive a lot of work and a lot of reading. You must be on your A game with your notes, homework, reading, etc if you want to even pass this class. If you want a challenge and work above and beyond I'll recommend this class but if you're an average student this class will be very hard
I am glad I took her class for my first semester at college. It is difficult in a good way because you'll be more prepared for the expectations of other professors. She made the dull content a little more interesting. It is not an easy class but she tells you exactly what she wants from you from the very beginning.
Many people have rated Ms. Bailey low because they were angry. I rated with full honesty to help you out; everyone learns differently. My experience this semester has not been easy but worth it. I am actually learning in class, and applying that knowledge to my life. Is that not what we go to school for?
The assignments are pretty tough, especially the essay that you have to do that is a major part of your grade, you really need to plan in advance for this one, but as long as you participate in class, and genuinely try to have a connection, and try your best, she will be willing to work with you. The group discussions are the best.
Tough class, and the only class I made a "C" in. Not paying FULL attention to the videos in class and not reading the online articles can hurt really hurt my grade. Her lectures give you a little bit more of an understanding of the chapter if you read it. She gives out pop quizzes like crazy, and her unit tests are tough.
I went in to this class very nervous after reading the syllabus. I knew it was going to be hard work & she would be a tough teacher. I was right. Ms. Bailey expects a lot, but she is clear in her expectations. She was always prompt wemail replies & I was able to talk with her several times in her office. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT! IT'LL SAVE YOU!
The positive ratings seem like they're coming from the professor herself.....
Doesn't cover all the material needed for the tests. if you don't read the chapters you WILL fail. you must read extra articles just so you can talk about it in class. kind of make you feel dumb, due to the fact that she thinks you already know the material.
As for the professor's character I would say she is friendly and means well. However, I don't believe she makes the best instructor. Her assignments and instructions are very unclear and she grades almost unfairly. Asks trick questions, even on tests. I recommend steering clear of her classes.
Her grading criteria is all messed up. The test are very over welming. Her class is very hard and I wouldn't recommend taking her if you cannot study 247.
She is not fair in grading. She cheated me out of an A. She will ruin your GPA
She is great! took this class online, she was quick to grade and answers email quickly.
Don't do it! If u are registered in her class for the fall, change instructors, you will be glad you did! I would find it hard to believe if TCC hasn't gotten several complaints on her!
Great online class! Loved this teacher. I could feel that she loves teaching and wants to get to know her students. Her material was clear and easy to understand. She gives great feedback and always answers e mails. If you attend class, and do what is asked, you should have no problems passing this course! Highly recommend!
I felt that with this instructor, you should already have some kind of schema or background with this subject because she will treat you like you do, and you feel stupid when you don't.
I wish I would of checked Rate My Professor before signing up for this class. My experience with Professor Bailey was beyond terrible I suggest you drop the class while you can. She is very unclear and does not teach the material.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ms. Bailey! I have thoroughly enjoyed her class. I got overwhelmed mid-term and dropped this class in a panic, after my math class was too much. She emailed me to ask why I had dropped given I was doing so well. She took the time to get me reinstated! She truly cares for her students and it shows!
What you put in, is what you get out. This is a hard class & you'll have to put in work if you want anything above a C, but it's doable if you apply yourself. Professor Bailey is very helpful, will respond to emails in a reasonable amount of time, & she wants her students to succeed, hence why she offers extra credit in times of need. No regrets!
Bailey is an awesome teacher, as long as you do what you're supposed to do things will be fine. You definitely choose what grade you get. Gives plenty of Bonus Quizzes and opportunities to receive a few extra points. Would definitely take more of her classes. (-:
she was a very good instructor, gave extra credit multiple times and encouraged us as individuals to do better. the only thing i did not like was having to do some paper through the ALC. other than that she keeps the class very entertaining and is helpful.
Mrs. Bailey loves her students and Sociology. She captures everyones interest with fun discussions and interesting information. I took this this as a night class, and Mrs. Bailey's upbeat attitude kept me awake and having fun quite frankly. Plenty of extra credit opportunities, she's always available for help, quizzes, straight forward tests.
Mrs. Bailey is one of the most amazing Professors I've had! When walking into her office its more of a welcome feeling no pressure behind it. Her class lectures aren't straight by the books either she takes everyday life lessons and uses them. SHE DOES NOT PUT UP WITH DISRESPECT IN HER CLASS! Cellphones are okay to an extent. LOVE YOU MRS. BAILEY!
I took Prof. Bailey's online course Fall 2015 & it was an easy A. There was a quiz each week (total of 14 quizzes, each quiz was between 5-15 questions long), 3 Discussion Board assignments, 1 Final Exam (questions were from the quizzes), 3 Extra Credit opportunities & she dropped my lowest 2 grades. Read each chapter, do the quizzes too easy!
From what I've read, don't take her in class course -take her online course! I took her online course and it was way to easy! Read 1 chapter/week & complete the reading quiz, only 3 discussion board assignments and the final had all of the questions from the quizzes. You can also work ahead if you want because it's all posted online ahead of time.
Her class was good overall, but I had an 88 as my grade and I turned in my extra credit and she didn't put it in!!!!
She is very passionate about what she teaches. She is very involved with her students and you can tell that she really cares. She always finds a way to keep the class interesting and she always gives input.
Her class was so much fun and easy. I bought the book and used it like 3 times, her lectures is all you need for test and homework. Wonderful instructor.
Take her online course! All quizzes are posted in advance! I didn't purchase a text book, all the answers to her quizzes can be found online. Her discussion boards are a pain, and her grading is a little inconsistent. Overall, it was an extremely easy 8 week course, if you're trying to just get it over with. Also, THERE IS NO FINAL!!!
She is an amazing professor! She is always willing to help you out! Gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit. There is a lot of reading you have to do but it helps so much when it comes to exam days. She gives you everything you will ever need on the first day of class! I would really recommend you to take this class!
The beginning of the semester may seem hardest because you're being exposed to subjects you may not have heard of, but don't get discouraged, there are plenty opportunities to make good grades and do well in the class. She knows her stuff and loves participation because it really does help the discussions along, so speak up. And READ!
Mrs. Bailey is an amazing teacher. I was unsure about how I would like this class, but with her it makes you want to major in sociology. She is very down to earth and does not make you feel stupid. She gives tons of extra credit and plenty of opportunities to make an A. Would love to take her again. Highly recommend!!
Amazing teacher with a sassy attitude
She is a very bright person! Always happy to be at school! She is very clear for tests, quizzes, projects. Everything is on her calendar or black board.
Ms. Bailey is hands down one of the best teachers I have ever had. She's hilarious and passionate about her subject. She makes the course so interesting and knows how to relate the subject back to you. Awesome class but you HAVE to work for it. She doesn't hand you the A.
Nice friendly professor, gives a lot of work but also gives a ton of extra credit. She expects you to show up and be prepared to work, easy A if you do what she ask. Not crazy hard or easy you just gotta do your homework and be prepared. She makes class enjoyable so its not that bad. She loves her job and it shows. I would recommend her.
There is a lot of homework in her class but her lectures are amazing if you need to take this class. Take it with her she others tons of help and will be willing to bend over backwards for you!
Professor Bailey is a really great teacher. She outlines everything you need to know in the syllabus, gives very helpful outlines, and an all encompassing final review. She is willing to work with you and gives lots of opportinity for extra credit. Don't miss class, take notes and read the optional material.
One of the best teachers I've ever had. The class is not an easy A but it is do-able. To make an A all you have to do is read your book and go to class. She makes class time very beneficial and fun. There is a TON of extra credit given, use it!!! I'd definitely take her again!
It's simple. Read the instructions. Show up to class. Read the chapters and participate in group discussion. You will learn some interesting facts. The professor makes it fun.
She is rude if you don't understand something she is talking about during the lecture. I made a B in the class but i will tell people she doesn't teach great, the lectures are over things that are not on quiz or tests and she goes off topic a lot. Not to mention just a rude teacher. Shes not an easy teacher and most of lectures go back and fourth.
Amazing teacher, one who cares about her teachings and her students! Very clear in what is expected of you and many opportunities for extra credit. At least 30 points minimum. Don't miss class, if you do, then make sure there isn't a quiz that day. Quizzes are 10 points each, but if you miss a lot they add up,
This was my least favorite class this year. She is caring and sweet at times but I dislike how the class is formatted and it is easy to miss due dates and miss home work assignments. Because attendance is not required and you have to do all the homework and quizzes before she even teaches the assignment its hard to want to listen or come.
