This professor is young, but she teaches well. Class discussions are always interesting and fun. Class participation is a must. The only stress in this class is the term paper so prepare for that early. I got a B in this class-Very fair professor.
This teacher is good. her class is very interesting but since she's young she is a little strict!!! Don't worry you will like her neways
she is very cool and funny. you can talk about anything in her class. she's not hard and she's very interesting and makes the class fun. i definitely recommend her. and she's pretty hot too. she's only twenty-seven!!
I personally did not like her teaching style...I felt like it was a waste of money. If you want to learn something don't take her. I'm sure I will get an A in the class because we only had one test and the final.
This professor is one of the best. She is firm when it comes to turning in assignments. She makes class fun. She is easy to talk to, and she knows her stuff!
Makes you want to go to class, you can talk about anything in class, explains everything in deatil and gives examples! Great Teacher just be on time!!!
great prof.young.inspiring.didnt use book.funny.open to any discution.i think we took like 4 tests?makes her own notes.shows them on powerpoint.u can print them too.we had an xtra credit fun project.and gordon rule paper. gave us class time to work on it. its easy and you learn. take her class!!!
She is a real cool professor. She find ways to help understand information. Her class was very interesting and she love what she do. We had several tests, a research paper, and a project to do for the class. Though she may appear to be our age, she knows her stuff. I would take her class all over again if I had to.
She is a great teacher, the best i have ever had. She is young and very entertaining. she does her best to make sure that everyone understands the material and that everyone passes. You just have to show her that you are trying and she will do her best to help you. take her and I guarantee that you'll want to take her again. I did
I walked into her class & never expected that a professor so young could be so informative. She makes the learning experience so much fun.In her class yor opinion matters.She is one of the most interesting, fun, and helpful professors at Miami Dade College. If you want to learn a really complex subject & have fun doing it, this professor is for you
One of the best professors here!The class was so fun & interesting & you actually want to learn!One of the nicest people I've ever met.Psychology is tough but this professor helps you understand the material & explains it in a fun and practical way.Anyone who doesn't like her teaching style, or who failed the class didn't make the effort&is boring!
She is very fun and helpful. She e-mails the powerpoints she shows in class and she updates her website regurlarly! I'm going to take two other courses with her. I highly reccommend her!
Dr. Davis-Brantley will keep you in stitches. She is very knowlegable in her area of expretise. has no problem helping you to understand what she is covering. Likes participation from her students. Is very likable. Don't be late for her class though :-). Overall this is a Professor you would in enjoy
ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS I EVER HAD.VERY INTERESTING, INTELLIGENT, HUNMOROUS, AND ENCOURAGING. I PASSED HER CLASS A "B". SHE TEACHES WITH GREAT CLARITY AND QUALITY. HER CLASS DISCUSSIONS ARE RELATED TO REAL LIFE ISSUES AND CONCERNS WHICH ALLOWS HER STUDENTS TO RECEIVE BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE SUBJECT MATTER. I WOULD RECOMMEND HER FOR ANY CLASS.
she grades hard.i didn't pass her class.she use too much technology.what about the students who doesn't know computers that much? it gets student to b lazy. she has no pitty. i tried hard, and she still didnt pass me.she gave an f for da class presentations which i did .she didn,t like me, she picked on me. she look at u weird if ur not smart.
She was great. The class was a bit over whelming towards the end, but she explains everything very clearly. Read the book and go over your notes, her test are not very easy. She requires everything be sent online, she doesnt collect any papers. But over all her class was a great experience. If your not scared of a challenge defitnately take it.
Put it this way...I wish I could take this class over and over. She presents the subject clearly and makes the class interesting. She's the BEST!!!!!Because of I thought of a career in Psychology but would love nursing too much but it's 2nd on my list in case of anything.
She is precise and allows you as the student to interact with the subject matter.
Professor Davis Brantlely is one of the best professors/teachers/instructors I have ever had. She always has the best classes and everyone just gathers in and learns many things HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Just put it this way, she is one of the best professors at miami dade. If I could take the class all over again I would and do the same way again. Just show up to class and buy the book and I guarantee that you will pass the class. She is not hard and strict at all. Just don't make her mad!!! She is the greatest professor!
She is amazing, funny, straight-forward, and always brightens up the day. Great teaching style, plus everything is online, no need to worry about paper assignments.
This Professor is the reason I came to school and never missed her class. I never knew I could learn so much from her and life. She is a great professor. It sucks she's not teaching night classes because I would have taken another one of her classes. She is a great professor and gives motivation to students to continue!!HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
She is my favorite professor. I loved coming to her class and sometimes wished it lasted longer. She was interesting and funny and always kept you interested. She collected everything online, including tests so that was a plus. I only wish I could take her again.
BEST TEACHER EVER. Put it like this if i could take every one of my classes with her I would. Great teacher. I took a class with her over the summer I loved it so much that I took this class with her. Very helpful and gives fair assignments.
Well, the class was a bit annoying cause I wasn't interested. But for a mandatory course so to speak, its not bad. Definitely do-a-ble.
I enjoyed her class. Very well educated and mannered (in comparison to other professors at Dade). Made a class that was forced on me interesting and fun. Would love to take an ACTUAL class with her. Thank you Professor Brantley.
she is ok, but she's annoying at times.
Had to take the class for the LC... hated it! Very annoying at times, and she like to scream when she can get the classes attention. And she is too nosey. Easy A though.
Awesome teacher!! Id recommend her to anyone...
Extremely fun and interesting class. Dr. Minca is funny and the work is not too hard. If you seriously want to learn teh subject, then this class might be a waste of time because she gets off topic way too much and you end up having to read the book so that you can pass the test. Still easy to pass though,
Ok...i took her for psych her class is really easy but she gets off topic ALOT! she can be very annoying is very nosy and her favorite subject is sex interesting but not helpful when it comes to taking the test in this class u have to teach urself which is wat i did and passed with a B... if u like teaching urself u should take her class
THE TEACHER IS GOOD, I TOOK THE CIRTUAL COURSE... SHE RETURNS EMAILS PROMPTLY...SHE SEEMS NICE BUT COULD BE ANNOYING AT TIMES. SHE OFFERS NO EXTRA CREDIT AT ALL!! YOU COULD EASILY EARN AN A AS LONG AS YOU COMPLETES ALL ASSIGNMENTS! QUIZES ARE EASY AND SO ARE DISCUSSIONS BUT THE MID TERM AND FINAL ARE HARD!! STUDY AND YOU WILL EARN AN A!
She's very sweet and nice but can be annoying at time. The book for her class is ONLY useful for the tests. She barely teaches about whats on the test, so you must be able to read the book before taking the test. If you can learn by your self then go for it. She's not that bad.
Awesome teacher! she's super helpful. There's never a dull day in her class. you barely use paper, assignments and tests are done online. the only way to fail is to not show up and not do the assigments. her lectures are clear. we don't use the book in class but you do need it to study for the tests. take the class you won't regret it!
GREAT PROFESSOR. ATTEND AND BE ON TIME, PASS TEST (NEED BOOK), ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE(TALK), AND DO GROUP PROJECT. EASY PEASY
I thought she was to young to be a Professor, and extremely unprofessional. Also, she is not empathetic, no matter what the story may be.
Minca is a wonderful professor. Human Sexuality was a really fun class with her; however, read the book. Her exams were about 40 questions and they were online. Those exams aren't easy.
THIS TEACHER IS THE BEST, I WOULD RECOMMEND HER TO ANYBODY. I TOOK HER ONLINE, AND IT WAS A PIECE OF CAKE.... IN ORDER TO PASS YOU MUST BE VERY ACTIVE IN THE CLASS AND ANSWER YOUR DISCUSSION POST THROUGHLY, AND U WILL PASS.
She is the best professor at mdc! she's young and entertaining! You NEED your books for the test and its advised you study before. her in class assignments are super fun! You'll regret not taking her!
I took her class online and I actually learned a lot from it. She communicates well and I would recommend her to anyone for this class.
SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER I EVER HAD! SHE MAKES CLASS REALLY FUN AND YOU ACTUALLY LEARN SOMETHING. MAKE SURE TO STUDY FOR YOUR TESTS.
Professor Davis is real cool. She like to have classroom discussion. The discussion are really interesting. The only thing is you have to make sure you read the book for the test cuz dey are really tricky. Plus pay attention to the small detail.
I've taken two classes with Dr. Davis-Brantley and most of you are right the class does go off on a tangent at times, but it definitely adds to the overall experience of the class. This is the first class I have taken at Miami Dade where it actually feels like a college level class, where debate and interaction is encouraged.
I took intro to psych and abnormal psych with her and she was AMAZING. One of the best teachers in all of MDC. Her classes fill up quick for this reason. You must read the book to answer tests questions and her tests are online and are usually due at the end of whatever weekend it is.Her classes are extremly fun and energetic.
Took this class online with her. If you have a problem she will email back right away. Lessons are easy and sometimes fun. Only thing is that if your taking the class online you must read every page of every chapter to get an A on the test. No other way!!
She is an amazing teacher! Very nice, and funny! Very clear in what she teaches. As long as you study you will do great in this class! I recommend her 100%
I recommend Dr.Minca especially for the blended course.She is a very good professor.She treats her students like college students.Come to class do the assignments and you will be fine.Just don't be late because she will get you back for interrupting her class.
She is amazing. but you cant just read the chapter, you need to know to be able to pass her online tests. Shes amazing though. end of story
Took online. Not easy an A, but u can pass. Powerpoints are useless, u'll need the book. First 3 exams are tough, rest get easier. To pass exam, u need to read/skim thru chapter(s), have basic understanding of the concepts, n take exam immediately after. Very generous on the discussion grades, just put in effort. My toughest of 3 class. Got an A.
This teacher is great, she answer e-mails super fast and try to help you and make the online course super active and fun. I definitely recommend her as a teacher. She loves teaching and helping.
She is very fair with her grading. I took her online course and she does count participation in her final grading but as long as you log in and read the work and watch the videos, you are good.
What a great teacher! She's still young and alert meaning she knows how to teach effectively. You must study for her class, she asks more than the simple "What is this?" questions on her exams. Great experience with her and would definitely recommend her to all psych majors.
She makes the class fun and interesting and is more than willing to work with you, but you do HAVE TO study to get a high grade
One of the best at miami dade
Took her online - she is a helpful teacher. She is very straight forward with her work. The course was a little hard for me but don't take that into consideration. I recommend her!
I love this teacher, i had her also for clp and she is awesome. wish she did teach every class i had. super funny, and she just down to earth. virtual days are friday and so are the test which are easy if you have the book. (:
Alot of reading. Easy class but you have to literally read every page of the book. A few quizzes easy proctored midterm, easier online final. Two extra credit chances.Interesting class, nice, helpful teacher.
Always does half in class and half online. Buy/rent the required textbook. Meet all deadlines. Pay attention in class. She grades fairly, and gives extra credit opportunity. You will love her and her class. It's great. I *HIGHLY* recommend her
I looooved this professor. She is amazing! She is beyond clear on her expectations of the course. Quizzes and Exams are very fair. Midterm was proctored and Final Online. You read your chapters and do your homework, you will pass with an easy A or B if you do not do the extra credit.
Amazing Professor, very clear and specific with assigments. I would take her again. Had a great time in class. I recomend her 100%
Be on time, she is clear with what needs to be done and how she wants it done to pass the class. She is understanding, fun, and loves to explain if you have questions. Took her 2 semesters and really enjoyed her class.
Dr Brantley rocks!! Had her for 3 semesters and was amazing to have her. When you have questions she will answer. She really likes to explain things until you get them so there is no way you shouldn't be able to understand this professor. On a more personal level, she is fun, caring and wants you to pass... you can't really ask her for more!
Best Psychology Professor at Miami dade!!!
Great professor! Very clear with all assignments! Participation matters. Fair grader. You need the text book and you have to work for your grade. She does give extra credit. If you show up and do the work you'll pass.
Professor Brantley is inspiring and kind. She is everything I've ever wanted in a psychology professor. Her lectures are enriching and powerful. Even on my worst days, her class time brought me laughter and joy. I would not have wanted another experience. She sheds light on many sensitive topics and broadens your horizons like no one else.
she's not the best teacher, but she does have a appealing persona .
if you care about your GPA don't take her. she's pretty misleading when she lectures in class everything seems straight forward. but in actuality its not, she's paints a pretty mirage ( illusion) of what to expect. on the bright side she's entertaing.
Amazing teaching and her lectures are very informative... Her tests are not a walk in the park but if you study and find it interesting, I think you should be okay.
Dr Brantley is a great professor. She is pretty much non-existent but answers emails quickly. Her online class is easy to follow. Just read, take quizzes, post on discussion threads and do the reaction paper. Midterm is proctored but final is not. She gives you study guides for both. Gives two extra credit opportunities as well. Fair grader Easy A.
I learned a lot through taking this course. The professor was very helpful and was super interested in her students gaining personal knowledge from the course.
She is a very nice and interesting professor. Shes had a lot of experience in the psychology field and tries to teach us using slideshow plus personal experiences which is good. this was a hybrid class so i enjoyed it. one lecture day and one online day, not a bad class.
Great teacher. Very interesting subject. Only down fall was that it was only a one day a week class. Wish I could of had more days of this class. There was also events we went to outside of class that dealt with the chapter we were on. She's the right professor for this class.
One of my first online classes. She is extremely organized and gives you a timeline for assignments. 5 quizes, midterm, final, and a research paper. 2 extra credit assignments. It's online so professors are pretty much non-existent, but you do have to participate in online discussions with classmates. Definitely recommend her and this class online.
this teacher is amazing! she is a gem! shes beautiful and very very responsible with her work. she gives good feedback and her grading criteria is given clearly through out the semester. i recommend! she gives the minimum homework and one group project. also makes the subject insteresting and tries the best to bring up discussion!
Best professor ever! Her class is so entertaining that you wont fall asleep you can ask her as many questions and she'll answer them all. I would hate when she would have to cancel class bc I would look forward to go. The class is super easy all you have to do is her online assignments and quizzes are online and no final. You'll love her.
You can not fail this class unless you don't show up. class is very easy, weekly assignments on blackboard and attendance does count. you get 3 absents. she is not boring, you will actually learn in her class and she is cool/funny when lecturing. easy A! take her!
Took this as a 6 week online class. She is very organized and ensures that everything is clear. 5 quizzes, discussions weekly, midterm is proctored consisting of 50 questions. Final is a home test, non-proctored, 1 reaction paper. Understanding and accepts late work and offers extra credit. Easy A and one of the easiest online classes I've taken.
This teacher is a 10/10, I would definitely take her class again. I take a blended class and when we meet once a week she gives really good and interesting lectures and gives personal experiences which I find makes the class a lot more interesting. I would definitely recommend taking her class
I highly recommend her class, her tests are very tough but the teacher is honestly amazing. I really loved her class and her lectures, but you really have to listen and study for her tests.
She was an awesome teacher. She explains different topics really well. The class discussion were amazing. Take her guys!
I loved this professor, super nice and funny! Just complete the online assignments and online tests and you'll do good.
The first day when you read the syllabus it might look complicated but she posts the assignments on blackboard and gives you a lot of time to work on them. Every week theres 1 or 2 assignments max. Overall I had 4 tests and a final (everything online)..2 group projects & 3 quizzes. I recommend getting the physical book to study for the tests
This professor is amazing. Her class is very interesting and clear. She gives you enough opportunities to get an A. I took her online class and you only need to study for the midterm. Amazing woman. I loved her!
Gives extra credit, you have to do a 1000 word essay but she's an easy grader. Only hard assignment is the midterm because its proctored but thankfully the final isn't. She gives you plenty of time to do the quizzes and the discussion boards are very simple
She is a fun and happy spirited person! Makes you want to learn more about psychology.
she really knows how to explain the lectures and made everything interesting. just pay attention and read the chapters and you should not have any problems. there was a lot of tests but it is based on what she covered in class. had to take the class online because of the pandemic but it was still a good class to show up to.
Very, very understanding and caring professor. Read the textbook and do the work and you'll be fine. I cannot recommend her enough.
I took her online due to the pandemic but she was very nice and understanding. We had a lot of good discussions in class and she spoke very conversationally. All the students enjoyed her lectures. I recommend her. The material is not hard and you can supplement your learning with online sources;)
Dr. Minca is a real gem! Her lectures are very interesting and she really knows her field of Psychology. I learned so much in her class! The amount of reading we had to do was pretty intense but the material is very interesting so it didn't seem overly tedious. She's very pleasant and easy to talk to. You won't regret taking her.
bit bias with her I simply did not like her. class is easy (i did this with no textbook), Few assignments (i did a mini term) its easy to get ahead. She is a bit messy with the syllabus. But i had a personal issue which made midterms hard to get done. and she simply did not care despite my proof. she grades everything last minute so beware on that
Professor is very well organized and easy class to pass. She also offers a decent amount of extra credit to pass her class.
Loved her class! I took it online and it was a quiz/discussion a week. I believe 4 exams 1 midterm thats proctored and a final which wasnt proctored. Gives lots of extra credit opportunities easy A.
She does not answer your emails so if you dont understand the class its on you, she is a good person over all but she doesnt teach she lets the videos do the talking
It's not super easy or super hard to pass. Just read the lessons, do the quizzes and writing assignments, and you'll be fine. There's a proctored final.
Even if this discussions are done and assignments, not all will cover in majority for grade because she makes the first proctored exam worth 55 percent out of all the class, so beware that she wants to make the class hard and is not just if she doesn't grade also in time. Truth is, I wont take her again after this.
I had her for an online class. She was great. Although when I emailed her, it took so long for a response. But overall her class is about taking chapter tests, a proctored midterm, a paper, discussion questions, and a non-proctored exam. She is very nice and helpful.
horrible professor. never responded to e-mails or voicemails. waited until the last week to grade everything. felt like she collected my tuition money and ghosted the whole semester. didn't learn anything.
dont do it to your self!!! she needs to stop teaching. hardly available ..only professor to stress me out
please do not take her.
Dr. Brantley was a great teacher. She was interactive and her assignments were not hard. She was relatable and an easygoing person. The class is not hard just submit assignments on time and attend the zoom meetings.
She is not a good professor. You can tell who is there for the money. You can never reach her because she has another job. Minca pick one because you can't do both. If you have an issue don't expect her to get back to you in a timely matter she takes more than a week.
It's not a challenging class, but She is passive-aggressive in emails and slightly petty. If you genuinely love psychology, don't take this class. Find someone who will devote the time to responding to you and making the class learn something. She generally has a nonchalant way that isn't compatible if you want things done on time.
Find better professors if you can! All of her work is very extra so you have to participate because there will be surprise things to do. It is very hard to talk her out of class! Your also graded by mostly her exams none are proctored! But It is not too hard if you can put up with her, she talks a lot ! ;(
Minca's class is no walk in the park. Attendance is mandatory and the first exam counts heavily. Reach out quickly if you need help, as she's not the most responsive. Try using Unstuck ai alongside the textbook to stay on top of things.
