For a class in one of the social sciences, if you see this professor listed, you have to take her course. One of the most intelligent people I have found at PHCC, and a true professional. Will give you a whole new perspective of the world as you know it.
She is a good teacher.....but very sparadic in her thinking.....the class is easy so i recommend it.....but she is a total nut case.....i guess it adds humor to the class.....good professor
She's a ****ing riot!
Meh What's up with these professors? We buy their books, yet they tell us not to read them. Then they get pissy when we don't learn anything through their lectures and go insane. I guess I'd give her a better rating if I actually liked the class. Social Problems, lol. I'm majoring in Computer Science. I couldn't really care less.

Had her for a weekend course.. Soo easy and soo sweet
Wonderful teacher. Knowledgable and enthusiastic
This is the best class I've taken at PHCC. Professor Collins is kindhearted, down to Earth and as caring as they come. I would recommend her class to anyone who is interested in making this world a better place.
This was an excellent class. Prof. Collins is a caring teacher and an exceptional human being. I would highly recommend her classes to all students at PHCC. The majority of the class would like her to teach more classes. Thank you for a fine semester, professor!
I didn't expect to, but I loved this class. Prof Collins is brilliant, kind, and passionate about her subject. I knew that the topic of gays was going to come up, and as a newly out lesbian, I was nervous that it might get ugly. Prof Collins kept it safe for everybody tho, and I have to admit, I wound up with a monster crush on her!
I am so surprised by some of the ignorant comments of my classmates. Prof Collins is one of the most brilliant people walking the planet. She taught very complex cultural phenomena in a way that was completely understandable to novice soc students. I would highly recommend PHCC offer more classes taught by Prof Collins.
WOW! Prof Collins is absolutely amazing. I did not expect the level of content discussed in an intro class to be so powerful. I feel like my head was pulled out of the sand. I would take any class that Prof C teaches. My interest in soc has quadrupled. Bravo Prof Collins. You da bomb...
This class turned out better than I expected. Professor Collins is great: funny, fair, imaginative, really smart, available to talk to. She answered all of my questions after class and "cared." Thanks for the experience. I would definitely take another class from Collins.
Not being a sociology student, I liked this class better than I thought I would. Prof Collins, thank you for the wonderful semester and the great lectures. You are smart and funny. And I liked the guest speaker alot. She was great. I will tell all my frineds to take your class. It was great. :)
Prof. Collins put sociology into perspective for me. My ideas have changed and I feel more compassionate. This teacher is brilliant. She is extremely attentive to the students needs. She didn't mind explaining things more than once for those of us that didn't get it, and used relevant examples to get the point across. I enjoyed this class alot.
I really enjoyed this professor. She has a wonderful way of explaining topics which makes them easier to grasp. I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this class and I have been pleasantly surprised. I would take this teacher again in a heart beat! Thanks Prof. Collins!
Prof. Collins is AMAZING! This woman is one of the most BRILLIANT individuals I have ever come across. If you want a real and unbiased view on issues in the world today and have your knowledge and ideas challenged in a good way, take this professor. Her brain is like a very expensive diamond. VERY VALUABLE AND FULL OF WEALTH! She is very funny 2!
Best teacher I've ever had.
she is one of the best professors phcc has. her passion for social science makes you want to go out and do something great to help change the world. i have learned alot from her in just 1 semester.
She is awesome.I wish I had more classes with her.
Professor Collins is an amazing teacher! If you have to take Sociology, take it with Professor Collins-don't take online course. She will change your life! I have never met a teacher who is so dedicated to her students and her profession. She is inspiring!
She is by far the best teacher I've had at PHCC. Take Sociology and make sure you get COLLINS!
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME Lady. I loved this class. After completing this class I was truely empowered to live my life not only for myself but for the next generation to come. This class, like many sociology and psychology classes, is very moving and opens your eyes to things that you hear no one speak of. Great professor. LOVED this lady
Prof Collins made me a better person. She is AMAZING!!!
I enjoyed so many things about Collins class - the eye opening (sometimes humorous) lectures, the freedom to share my thoughts/ideas, the relationship she helped all us students build in class. She cared and wanted nothing but the best for us all. By the end of the semester, I had learned so much about myself. For that I will always be thankful.
Knowlegable Professor, but i would try to not take her again. She did not really teach our class, allowing the students to outline chapters and present them to the class. Those presentations were usually one sided and incomplete. She has favorites and treats her extreme unfavorites unkindly at times.
Professor Collins is incredibly good at opening your eyes to social situations. She finds a way to explain intricate details pertaining to the course so it is easily understood. Definetly take her class!!!! You won't regret it!!!
I took Collins for Women in American History and Absolutely loved it. She is incredibly funny and easy-going as long as you do the work. I recommended her to all my friends. I looked forward to her class. :)
I have taken all of the classes she offers, she is great! Attendance is mandatory and she does take off your grade if you skip, but she is fair and a very good teacher.
Smart. Kind. Funny. Loved her. Loved the class.
I took Her for Marriage and Family, she's a nice lady, Good class with some eye opening discussions. There are no tests, most work is done in groups, don't skip, don't be obnoxious, she'll call you out.
By far one of the best prof. On campus!! Take all her classes if possible! Very interesting, and cares, knows a lot. Far from boring! No test, group work, but you have to try. She will inspire you to make this world better. I will miss taking her classes!!! And very much encourage guys to take her classes as well!!!
Such an amazing professor my all time favorite. She makes sure you do your stuff though. Don't lie to her and treat her well and she'll do the same for you. :)
Professor Collins is one of the greatest teachers I have had the pleasure to be a part of. I have learned so much in her class and I am inspired by her frankness and knowledge. She is absolutely amazing. She will motivate you to make a difference in this world. Thank you Professor for your dedication and love.
Professor Collins is an extraordinary teacher and human being. Her dedication and love for what she does is very apparent! I find when a teacher loves to teach, I love to listen..I felt unusually comfortable in her class as did everyone else. It was a fantastic experience. Be on time and kind! Taking her again!
Excellent class! Professor Collins is an extremely intelligent and knowledgeable instructor. Her passion for justice is a driving force in her work-and her life-it is very apparent to her class. She proclaims her students to be the "heroes" of the story in righting the wrongs of our society. Truth be told, she is the real hero who inspires us all.
Professor Collins is a horrible instructor. She doesn't like men. So if you are a man taking this class, i would switch. Females will get good grades, even if you don't do the work. I ended up with a B and busted my butt. Be prepared to here about her life stories instead of the material.
Awesome professor. What a wonderful experience! Learning about sociology, IF you do the work required you just cant fail. The work requires SMART THINKERS able to comprehend,analyze and delineate your analogy. easy A
AWESOME Professor will be taking every class she teaches as electives. You can not help learning something and get a good grade if you Attend, Participate, Do the work. I would and do recommend her classes to every student I talk with. This is my third class with Professor Collins.
Professor Collins is an excellent professor! I took her for Sociology 1st and now I'm in her public speaking class. Great professor! Take as many classes of her's!
I dreaded, completely dreaded the thought of having to take public speaking and this professor turned it around for me 110%. By the last couple speeches, I was even looking forward to giving them! She makes you feel very comfortable and the class feels like one big family. Highly recommended!
Wow! I am not disappointed with this class! Literally the best class I have taken yet, to date. You will learn so much, overcome more than you thought and come out of it being glad that you picked it. This is my second class with Collins, and I know there will be more! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! You will not regret it!
Collins loves to brag about herself everyday day. she only teaches 20% of the class. Most of the class is taught by the students in the form of group presentations, which as you can imagine are dull, monotone, and usually poorly presented. she just sits there and interrupts you during your presentation, often in an insulting manner. don't take
Brilliant and inspiring
Amazing professor BUT (of course) she expects you to be on time, actually do her work, and be prepared for your presentation. She merely wants us to live in a better world. Have an open mind and never get offended. She teaches the shocking truth (and has the research to back her) and not everyone is prepared for it.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE HER!!! She loves to sing, smile, and tell cool facts! I've taken her maybe 4 times already and can't stop going back. Keep a clear mind and open ears, be prepared to work with others and get involved! Great class, changed my way of living!!! :) :) :) Read Read Read, it only makes you smarter! Then there's SPARKLE DAY to top it off!
I took her for Public Speaking and let me tell you, she is the most amazing teacher I have ever had. She gives no tests and gives you amazing direct feedback. She is insanely intelligent and I cannot wait to take another class she teaches.
Professor Collins is one of the most intelligent people I know. If you aren't willing to work, don't take this class. There is work to do, although not overwhelming she does expect quality work. There is a lot of group work involved in this course. Attendance is mandatory; very strict about phones as well.
Excellent teacher. I have taken two of her classes, and I just love her.
Extremely opinionated, at times, too opinionated. Belittles students, to the point of being unprofessional/disrespectful. (Will call you out/tell you, you are wrong in front of an entire class). Does not return any Emails/Phone-calls. Unsympathetic to any life events that cause you to miss class. Would NOT recommend this class/ Her as a Professor.
Very knowledgeable however, extremely opinionated professor who talks about politics more than she teaches. Blatantly disrespectful to students to the point of calling them out and teasing them. Roughly 85% of the class had issues with her as well. You will not learn much from this class.
I took her for public speaking. Good class. She tells you exactly how to get an A: research your speech, rehearse it, don't be rude. Nice lady.
Best teacher ever. I took her for sociology and for public speaking. Changed my life. Thank you, Professor Collins!
Professor Collins is by far the worst teacher I've ever encountered. DO NOT TAKE HER FOR SOCIOLOGY. I was assigned to a group for a project that is a huge part of your grade and got stuck with people that didn't care to do anything until the last week. Instead of offering me an alternative, she told me she was going to fail me. DIDN'T HELP OR CARE.
She is up front and lets you know what he expects
I have taken Collins three times now and all of her classes are almost the same. Be ready for a group project and some short papers. She's pretty lenient when it comes to due dates, just don't turn in everything on the last day. If you participate and do the papers the class is an easy A. Also, after four absences she'll drop you a letter grade.
She seems scary at first but she cares for her students when it comes to being comfortable when speaking in front of the class. There are 3 speeches you have to do and she will call you out for not practicing the speech. At the end of all the speeches given she will tell each student what they need to fix in front of the whole class. Great teacher.
Prof. Bridey C. has changed my life. If you're considering take her introductory Sociology class, you won't be disappointed. She is an extremely educated person who has a way of captivating the attention of an entire class while lecturing, just from the sheer sincerity behind her words.
Pick your groups wisely (you may not even get the chance to). This class is heavily group oriented and a bad group can make your workload ten times harder. I got stuck with 2 people who did literally nothing the whole semester and it had a huge toll on some of my other classes. On a side note, Professor Collins is the brightest human being ever.
Professor Collins is one of the most inspirational teachers. For Public Speaking, she grades on your ticks, repetitive word use, topic use and more. Overall, she truly believes and will grade on those who work HARD. Put effort and show it through your presentations. She grades on 3 speeches only (Informative, Persuasive and Demonstrative).
An amazing, caring, fun professor to say the least. She really cares about the society we live in and wants to make an impact on her students.
Professor Collins gives great lectures, 10 easy journals in the course of the semester and individual research paper. However, dont let the team project scare you, its really just a collaboration with your group and all your ideas combined. Also, attendance counts towards your grade. Overall, Intro Sociology is an easy A class.
Prof: Overall she was interesting & funny. Can easily be seen as someone who leans far left & shows it. HOWEVER, if you allow her to speak & give her a chance, anyone would enjoy her & take a lot away. Class: Very easy, just do exactly what she says & youll get an A. There is a large group project but just dont wait and youll be fine. Great class
Very wonderful teacher, but was rough on me because she felt that I could do better. I got a straight A in her class but she still managed to make me feel bad because she thought I wasn't trying hard enough. She was caring but also, she could be very rude to students because she assumed they were simply slacking off instead of needing help.
If you want to hear about Collins having a Mensa card please take this class. However, if you want to learn about social problems you should not take this class. Collins is very opinionated and belittles students for no reason except their opinions differ. Group project heavy.
Professor Collins is incredibly knowledgable. Her lectures are interesting and I always learn something new when I come to her class. She is passionate about social justice, which is why I love her so much :) Easy A!
Professor Bridey Collins wasn't too bad. Her public speaking skills are great and she teaches very well. I'd just suggest that you be sure you enjoy the part of "public speaking" before you take this class.
Group presentation is the main assignment in this class along with a lot of short essays. Good lectures, although she often repeats pieces of past lectures. Attendance/participation is 30% of your grade. If you do what she asks youll easily pass. I missed one class, turned everything in on time, worked in my group project and finished with a 100.
This was so far my favorite college class. I took her for public speaking! Professor Collins makes you feel very comfortable with the students in your class so that it isn't scary when you have to present your speeches. As long as you do as she says, you will get a good grade. Attendance and respect are important.
Inspiring teacher! I took her class multiple times and really enjoyed it.
Professor Collins can seem intimidating but genuinely has the biggest heart for her students. It is evident that she loves teaching about the issues in the world in hopes of the future generations stepping up. Her assignments are very clear and as long as you follow the rubric you will get an easy A.
she's just great. If you play by the rules you are sure to love this class and her. I'm taking a diff class of hers in the fall. I CANT WAIT!!!
worst teacher I have ever had, she bullys her students & makes sure that she belittles you in front of the whole class. she is very disrespectful & if you do not agree with her opinion then you are wrong & tries to make you believe her. she doesnt even teach, it is always the student teaching & then she complains the work was not to her liking.
In my opinion, this professor is a scam. Lack of communication for everything and is extremely unfair. Moral of the story, don't take a class with her.
Very opinionated and shows her political beliefs. She does not accept others' opinions. I would not take it again. 3 final projects that are very time-consuming and are difficult. 10 journals that are pretty easy and there are no final or quizzes. She is very sweet and caring, but I did not enjoy hearing about racism every class.
I had the pleasure of taking Public Speaking this semester with Professor Collins. We had to do four speeches; however, she was very detailed about what she wanted. Be prepared to earn the grade you truly deserve, as she does not award grades based upon what you need. Overall, a great professor and I would 100% recommend her to anyone! DONE REMOTE
Professor Collins truly challenges me (the class), and when I say that, I mean it, in a great way! She makes me look at life through a different set of eyes. I have to say, I've learned more about life in her class than I have anywhere else. For that, I say Thank You, Professor Collins!!
Prof collins will belittle and call you out in front of the whole class for something as simple as a question about the due date. Explanations for assignments are kind of all over the place and hard to understand what she is truly looking for. Professors should make giving speeches comfortable, not the case in this class. Do not recommend.
I have yet to complete this course but have so far been enjoying it very much. Her lectures are great and she is just the sweetest. She is very thorough and goes exactly by her grading directions. She loves seeing her students faces and enjoys answering all your questions. Definitely recommend her course!
She did not communicate at all during the first week of class, even though we didn't have the link to the textbook. She graded quickly, and the course was easy. Just read the assigned chapters and it's a breeze.
I took her for Intro to Sociology and it was an easy A. She is super sweet and cares that you are there, it is a super easy class and you aren't asked to participate much. I'm also bored in classes but this class is only an hour and I learned a lot. She only lets you have four absences and doesn't like you to be on your phone in class.
Professor Collins doesn't grade very hard, so an A is very achievable in her class. However, I felt like after awhile her lectures just began to repeat themselves and like we didn't have any new material to learn, which the weekly chapter in the textbook would disagree with.
I have only been in her class once ands belittled me in front of my classmates because she was unclear with her directions and when I had made a mistake wanted to address it with the whole class and then went on to say how "nice I can be when you do what I tell you" but didn't give clear directions. would not take her class again.
She really wanted the best from us and did her best to help us achieve it. Her critics were always super helpful and the assignments were pretty easy you just needed to make use of slideshow, pictures (+30) and know your speech. she fostered a fun class and made us get to know each other which im gonna miss. we also frequently got out early.
A complete waste of time. Another liberal professor at PHSC who gets mad if you don't follow her views. Avoid this class like the plague.
