This teacher is very hard, but she knows what she's doing. She does lots of different stuff in class so its not always the same thing. Her tests are hard, but at least she gives a study guide.

Dr. Berkos is exactly the type of professor that this place needs. I'm so glad that I have a very few prof's here to challenge me to learn.Her youth, energy, and dedication are a welcome change in this Ol' boys club. The Stupid White Men can retire!

ok listen up. first day. total ****! but she is just getting rid of the non-workers. class is hard but interesting and you will learn a lot. she works you but it pays off in end! no final is 75 above on all exams.

I loved her class! She is great!

I really enjoyed her class...she makes you work hard but you learn a lot. Don't be frightened by the first class, she doesn't seem like a nice person, but once you get to know her, she's awesome!

I like her test - go figue... the study guide helps. The class is way too much work for a 200 level but Dr. Berkos is enthusiastic and class is never boring. At least we learn a lot in there we can use.

Dr. Berkos is awesome. She is always willing to help students, keeps very long office hours, and takes her teaching very seriously. Most people that have problems with her class are people that are not used to taking responsiblity for their actions.

seriously, i highly doubt berkos puts up her own rating, Yes, she is difficult, but it is called college. She cares about her students and if you read and care somewhat about the class, you should have no problems.

Dr. Berkos is very challenging, and if you can't handle actually learning something I wouldn't recommend her. She is very clear, helpful, fun, and an all around wonderful woman!! By far my favorite professor yet!!!

Has anyone noticed that the person that keeps accusing Prof. Berkos of leaving her own messages keeps leaving messages over and over and over, all with the same 3 ones rating? What a hypocrite! Dude, get over your grudge!!

Be prepared to work your *ss off but you know that from day 1. Work amount sucks but class is cool (not boring, etc.)

just in case people didnt realize that college requires a little bit of effort, well sorry to break it to u but it does. berkos makes u do work, holy crap!!! shes an awesome lady who cares about her students, exams are reasonable and class is interesting

lot of work but I knew that already. She will help if you ask for it, just can't slack off. Very enthusiastic teacher

shes amazing....really epitomizes the communication field

Hard teacher but very nice, gives u a huge paper and huge presentation to do....but class is always fun, skits and stuff

Class is a lot of work but Berkos isnt nearly as bad as every says.

quizes are hard, but you learn a lot form your speeches

ALOT of work. Im in the nonverbal class and that stuff we did in Intro helps. A cool topic but lots of work, but its interesting and you learn a lot from Berkos. (I'm a major so maybe that makes a diff. in what I think about her)

The class sucked, but she was okay. (My friends had other profs for 203 and they said theirs was hard to). U can tell she loves communication, she does skits and exercises in class so its not to boring. Project is hard and so are tests, so do the work or you wont like your grade. Going to her office is a BIG help with group prject.

She is unbelievable energetic. I love her. Yeah, she is hard but it was worth it to have a teacher that actually makes the topic interesting. Take it if you don't mind hard work and like comm. Trust me, she is entertaining.

This teacher is cooooooool. Very down to earth and makes class fun. It is ashame to see that some people waste the time to give P. Berkos all 1's since the reason they did bad in the class is obviously their own fault. I've had her for three classes so far and in each class, she has always been very fair and helpful.

Kinda hard, if you jsut follow what she wants you to do you will do well. She is hot.

This class is a lot of fun. Its really small so you get to know everyone pretty well. Professor Berkos has a great personality and knows the material well. You will get a lot out of the class.

loves the subject.... very nice... def worth taking!

Excellent teacher! Extremely knowledgable...must take a class with her before you graduate.

Professor Berkos is a great teacher. She is fun and interactive. The tests are based on the book. Her tests are always very clear. Excellent teacher defiantly take her comm. 203!

She is extrmely energetic and loves the subject. Her tests are writen fairly but they are really hard. You have to know every last detail from the book and her lectures if you want to get anything higher than a C.

She's the best! Fun and cool, not too easy but if you keep up with the work you'll do ok. Learned a lot, made me take other communications classes.

I loved Dr. Berkos. Reading is a must in order to do well on the tests. She has an easy project and a relatively easy paper which can help boost your grade. Her tests arent easy, but she is very energetic. I dont know why people complain about her, I got an A. All you need to do is not be lazy and actually read and you'll do fine.

awesome teacher especially for comm research

Intro to com. Gives 3 test and a final, drops the lowest grade. 1 paper and 1 group project. Test are relatively hard but multiple choice. She is nice and helpful if you are attentive in class

She took 10 points off of my groups presentation because (since im pale) i get red blotches when its warm or if i'm nervous. Unfair grader, plays favorites. Talks about her kid and husband too much.

Dr. Berkos expects a lot, but you learn a lot. Her classes are interesting. She uses a lot of real life examples and she's excited about what she's teaching. Just read the book and participate and you'll be fine. I really enjoyed the class.

Dr. Berkos is amazing; the reason I finally switch my major to COM. She expects you to know a lot for exams, but its helpful in the long run. Read and study and you'll do fine.

Her tests are very hard, but if you study you'll be okay. Class is very interactive and fun, so students don't do well when they assume her tests will be easy. If you read the text and make an outline for the test, you'll be fine. Very interesting and would recommend

Professor Berkos is AWESOME! I loved going to class every day and actually enjoyed some of the projects. To everyone who complains about the exams - read the text! Like any class, if you put the work and time in you will do just fine. Definitely take!!

Dr. Berkos is one of Bryant's best professors! Class is fun, and she even schedules a few online classes in the semester. Her exams are very specific, but do the reading, take notes, and go to class and you'll be fine! It's a fun subject so the reading is actually kind of interesting.

Great professor! Makes class interesting! She tells you straight up that you must read because the exam questions come from the book

Lots of group activites randomly thorought the course. Lots of listening to others present their short studies.

My favorite professor that I've had at Bryant so far! She loves interpersonal com and makes the lectures interesting. You do have to read and stay on track or else you'll do bad on the tests. Her tests aren't a joke, but you can do really well if you try. The only out of class work is the reading and one easier research paper.

Professor Berkos is a very nice person and clearly very passionate about Communications. Although fairly lecture-heavy, I never found her class boring because the lectures were interesting and conducted in a conversational manner. The tests were fairly difficult, so make sure you read the textbook and really understand the material.

Awesome professor! Took her for intro to com and declared my major of Communications before I finished the course. For T/T classes, one group attended class one day and the other on the next day. Class is all discussion and helping you understand the material. Tests aren't difficult but definitely study. I would definitely take any class with her.

Best teacher. For T/T classes you show up on one of the days for a discussion based class and for the other day you just do an assignment instead of going to class. Quizzes are easy and minimal homework just replacement assignments for going to class. Would take her class again

Kristen is genuinely one of the most caring and compassionate professors I have ever had. You will receive what you give to that class, and if you show up, participate, and do the readings, you will enjoy this class. Also she brings in current events to com topics that make them interesting for people who aren't majoring or minoring in com!

Berkos is one of the nicest profs you'll have. Very motherly and grades very fairly. Took her for Public speaking, she gives you rubrics and makes everything very straight forward. Just follow the rubrics and show up when you need to and your square.

Absolutely love Kristen! I'm bad at public speaking (anxiety) but I feel I improved. I got a bad score on the first speech, but brought my midterm B to an A. Two easy multiple-choice exams, a reflective essay as final. The final ceremonial speech is easy and short. Intro speech short, informative and persuasive speech fairly long (8min max).

Kristen Berkos is by far my favorite professor at Bryant. Her classes are fun and exciting and she's understanding and is there for her students. Her grading is up to you! She has different levels and you can decide what type of grade you want in her class. Even if you're not a com major, I would recommend taking this you'll learn so much I promise

Professor Berkos is the best professor in this subject. She relates lectures to her personal life, which is not only interesting, but helps you remember material. I love her grading system; everything is on your own, so you choose the grade you get. There is one assignment a week with one or two bigger projects that count for more of your grade.

She is so amazing and understanding. She grades by "specs" so you pretty much chose your grade. If you just want a C you only have to do two big assignments. She writes out EXACTLY what you need for a 100% so it is easy. Take her she will teach you so much and she is so interesting.

She is an amazing teacher. Her teaching style is very organized, and the spec grading was very beneficial.

Amazing teacher, she's helpful understanding and makes all aspects of the class you need accesible.

One of the goats of this institution, don't understand why her older ratings are low. Her class has a 'spec' grading style meaning that if you do each requirement of each level you get a grade based on how many levels you do. Best class ever

Despite the other ratings Professor Berkos was a amazing teacher. Was very helpful and kept the lectures interesting. I had this class at 8 am and I made sure I didn't miss it.

Shes amazing-very clear grading criteria, but just be open with her if you are struggling. She definitely wants you to learn

I loved this class and Professor Berkos. She always made the class smile and never assigned any hard work. We would get one assignment a week out of class that took at most 20 minutes to complete. She is also very flexible with late work but still expects you to complete it. I would def recommend taking her if you can!

The class is quite easy overall. She uses a grade scale where you just have to do a certain amount of work to achieve a certain grade (You have to do more for an A then a B and so on and so fourth) but overall, the work was not very hard and it is easy to get an A in the class if you do the work which isn't hard to complete.

Berkos is the absolute GOAT. She would walk an extra for any of her students. I absolutely loved the way she graded, you earn the grade you want. If you do the work, you'll get an A. She's so chill and so funny. Def gives mom vibes in the way she cares for everyone and how she is able to relate to all of us. xoxoxo love u queen Berkos

you get to choose the grade you want to earn and it is easy to earn an A, no tests or quizzes, no papers, she lectures a lot but its not boring and she makes it very relatable. made the 8am worth it! all the old ratings do not reflect how she teaches now it seems she has definitely changed a lot. very clear on gradinf and what she wants

Grading system is different than most other teachers, but makes it very straight forward on getting the grade you want. Not a lot of work to do and she is pretty nice.

Kind of an odd grading system, but it becomes very simple once you get going. Lecture-heavy, but always telling stories and in a good mood. Just participate and she'll love you

Professor Berkos makes the class super easy to understand using her grading specs. The information is very easy to follow and she is very understanding that we have other responsibilities. Makes an 8 am barrable!

I had her for my 8 am class and she made the class fun and intresting while always encouraging students to engage in the class. This was by far the best communications class I had and Kristen made these 8 ams tolerable and brightened the rest of the day. Also to her family reading this HI!

This was my second class with Professor Berkos and as always it was amazing. She's an amazing professor and person and truly cares about her students and the material being discussed in class. Her lectures are far from boring, making students actually want to participate in class and is a great part of the school day. Overall amazing professor.

Professor Berkos is a very nice and understanding professor. Classes are mostly conversation based, no slide decks or anything. There are no exams but the way she grades can be a little confusing. Its a tier system, so you ultimately decide your final grade. If you complete all the work in the class its an easy A.

I'm sad that I will never get the chance to take a class with Berkos again. She has a great heart and an even better personality. She made our nonverbal communication class interactive and something I looked forward to week after week. I wish her the best. She will go down as my favorite teacher I've ever had in my life. Berkos, you're awesome.

She's leaving Bryant this year, and she was the best teacher I've ever had, it was an easy class where I wasn't overwhelmed yet still learned a ton of things, teachers need to take notes from her, because that is how you teach!
