She is an AWESOME teacher...you can tell she really loves to teach. She helps you in any way she can and her test reviews are some of the best i've ever had.
She is a very good teacher! Her class is very interesting, and her reviews are awesome. Lots of class discussions which are fun.
She is such an AWESOME teacher! You really have to take her class. It's so much fun and she knows how to get everyone involved in that class. She's such a breath of fresh air in comparison to a lot of the other professors out there.
She is an awesome teacher. I had to drop her class because of family issues but, I enjoyed her lectures. She is very clear and understanding. If I had the oppurtunity i would take her class again.
She was one of my first professors when I started college in Aug 2002. I'm so glad I had her as a professor. She's an great teacher who is very clear & to the point about information. She is really out there to teach & help understand information.
Vey good teacher will recommand her to anyone who wants to learn something.
she was so nice and she made sociology intersting. definitely take her
let's just put it like this i got a D and a C on her exam but I somehow passed the class with a B.. she is very understanding and her reviews are exactly whats on the test.. how ever study the material online as well as whats in the book.. I hardly read the book.. I would reccommend her to everyone.. TRUST ME her class is fun as HELL
Very good teacher. She covers everything in class with powerpoint notes that are very helpful. She has fun class discussions and does not test you on what she did not go over in class. Gives you extra credit, and is extremely nice. Study the notes she gives you in class and I guarntee you pass with a B, if not better.
Very good teacher will recommend. She is very knowledgeable in the subject. Gives really hard tests but also gives extra credit to make up for it.
she was real cool, i regret not studying, she was extremely nice and down to earth.....oh and guys, when i took this class, girls outnumbered guys like 10 to 20-something, take advantage of this moment!!!
She is a great teacher in she will let you know if you need extra help to pass the class
She is such a great teacher, her class is very interesting and she knows alot about what she talks about. She is very nice and will help you if you need any help. You can tell that she loves what she does. All notes are on power point, copy all notes & study for the test, you will do good. Shows you what to study from the book so just be there.
she made the class interesting and realistic...made the class an easy A
great teacher very helpful just go to her class and review online of the book i guarantee an a she gets a lot of questions from the internet (book)
very helpful and she made the class VERY, very interesting! i loved her class! you should do perfectly fine, the only thing is that if you're not good with attendance, she has a very strict policy that might get you into trouble. otherwise, highly reccommended. :) take her, she's awesome.
One of the best teachers I've had in a long time. Not only did she make the class interesting, but you can tell she is passionate about the issues she discusses. Also willing to work with student with circumstances that come up. Try not to be late or miss her class
Not helpful on online class. Did not make clear on some assignments.DO not recommend taking on line class.
GREAT TEACHER! Very fun class, she was awesome!
The only problem I had with her is that some of the questions on the test were not covered in her lecture.
I took the video based course that met only 5 times, do not take this class this way. Mrs. Bemmel is an excellent instructor and the way she conducts lecture is very beneficial to grasping the material covered in the tests.
Took all 3 of her courses. A'ced every one. She is down to earth, funny, smart, and definitely cares about her students. Do not believe any negative ratings about this woman. You really have to be an idiot to fail her class. There is a lot of student interaction, (always debating and having fun). Hands down one of the coolest professors @ BCC.
She's awesome. Take this class its so much fun. You wont regret it.
very open class discussed everything lots of chance for good grades
SHE'S VERY UNDERSTANDING, VERY NICE AND HELPFUL. SHE TOUCHES ON INTERESTING SUBJECTS...I RECOMMEND ANYONE TO TAKE HER COURSE. IT WORTH IT.
The class was ok. It was interesting and thought-provoking. She engages in classroom discussion. My only complaints would be your grade is solely based on the tests, and the tests are downright tricky. You have to be able to read at a college level..if you can't don't expect to pass.
Teacher is awsome, thought-provoking, and keeps the class going with debates! Never had a professor who got the class this willingly involved before!! Amazing class! Should be mandatory to take it with her!!!
I took the online course. I was a little difficult. Tests are also tricky, and the professor was not helpful much (considering it was online too). I took it with Professor George Vernon and got an easy A. I also heard that Howard Housen was easy. But for this online course its too much time consuming and more difficult.
I took the online class and I found that she did not give clear enough warning as to what your current grade was. I did all the work, got mostly A's (97 on final), so I didn't do the extra credit, because like she said "if you think you have an A, leave the extra credit for those in need." I got a B. Have no idea why. She was ok, check your grades!
She is okay. She doesnt give any extra work. Her tests are very tricky!!!! When you think you did good on test chances are you failed... you have to study. Gives a 5 page essay at the end of the semester. she is interesting but i wouldnt recommend her.
This class is awesome! Every student should take it! Not only is it super fun and interesting its an easy class! just pay attention, the tests are all common sense. Shes a great teacher!
I LOVED COMING TO HER CLASS. I LEARNED SO MUCH ABT SEX AND OTHER THINGS.. SHE MAKES IT VERY INTERESTING. PAPER IS UPER EASY. TESTS ARE A LITTLE TRICKY. I NEVER STUDIED AND GOT A C IN THE CLASS. SO U SHOULD STUDY. TRY NOT TO MISS MORE THAN 3 CLASSES OR YOULL BE DOING STUDY QUESTIONS AT END OF SEMESTER-15 QUESTIONS FOR EACH ADDITIONAL ABSENCE..
Loved her! Super sweet and always willing to help, if you even need the help. Kinda strict on attendance, but otherwise easy class
She was Great! The class is super interesting, and the professor was really nice :) She's a good teacher- I highly recommend her!
I took this class online while I was carrying my first child.Online classes demand you to read the text and pay attention to the quizzes. She's overall easy. She provided a review which really helps during the exams and if you attend you'll do extremely well.
great
She is Awesome!!! She has a passion for what she teaches and shares it with her students. She loves to get students engaged. Tests can be tricky, but everything is either from lectures or book. STUDY and you'll do fine! Got all A's in her class and all I did was review my notes & chapters. Taking her again this fall for Syg2340. Highly recommended!
THE BEST PROFESSOR TO HAVE ENOUGH SAID
This is the best teacher I had last semester. I took her for Sociology and it was my absolute favorite class to go to! She makes the subject very interesting, she shows you a lot of videos, and loves to get the class engaged. Tests were easy if you study the material, she even typed out the notes for us and gave us all copies : ) TAKE HER!
she is such a great professor! she's very passionate about the subject she teaches and knows what shes talking about. the class isn't hard at all and its extremely interesting. shes very nice and funny. shes not a teacher who would put you to sleep.
She's a great teacher! she makes the material interesting, there is no homework you only HAVE to study for the test. you don't even need to take notes in the class because she gives them to you online, and reading the book is a must to understand everything. loved the class easy A
She is extremely down to earth and her class is by far the most interesting one I've ever taken. You think you're just going to talk about sex but there are discussions EVERY class and it makes the class extremely interesting. Gives 5 chapter tests all based on her powerpoints that she puts online for you. Tests are easy if you study the notes. :)
Great teacher. The class was definitely interesting, the book wasn't necessary and she puts all of her notes online for you beforehand so all you have to do is follow along with her. 1 main project and 4 tests which she reviewed for in great detail. I've taken 3 of her classes and would definitely recommend her to anyone!
Amazinggggg. Really good class, i passed with a B i should've gotten an A but whatever lol. take her she's good and not much use of the textbook!
she is a great techer, open mind, explain crystal, and to me i learned a lot about sexuality... i thought i knew everything but she proved me wrong. i recomend that class to everybody even if you don't need it cauze you are gonna learn a lot. study for the test and participate in class and you will pass... that easy! participation required!
Great professor, just took her online course. Do the work and study for exams, easy class just make an effort. And she gives you a chance to earn extra credit too!!!!
I just took her online class this semester. She's a great teacher, very fair and gives you the opportunity for extra credit. The class doesn't have a lot of work. One quiz per chapter, a couple discussion board postings per unit, one paper and a midterm and final. You do need to study for the exam and final, but they are not impossible.
I just took her online class and it was great - learned a lot of interesting stuff but did not have t do a lot of work. I got an A and I didn;t even buy the book. She gives extra credit options but they are usually involved with going somewhere and doing stuff - not good for prople who take online classes becasue they have many obligations elswhere
This class was very easy. I took her online. I learned a lot. I liked her assignments. She communicates a lot with the students. I got a B (it was my fault), but its an easy A class. Take her, and she's very nice!!!!!
Must read assigned text if you want to PASS her class. I took the online course which was fairly easy but in order to pass with an "A" you have to read. Overall, class discussions were very interesting. Class was fun.
She's a cool professor. I got a 'B' in her class. All you have to do is show up to class everyday and read the chapters she assign and you'll do fine. I recommend her to anyone who plans on taking sociology!
This has been my favorite teacher throughout my 3 years in BCC. She is understanding, easy to communicate with, funny and makes this class so fun. I recommmend her above anyone else! She TRULY cares about how well you do in her class :)
I took this class fully online and enjoyed every minute of it. This professor is very easy to communicate with as well as being very helpful. You must read the assigned material and study but professor Baker Bemmel is an all around great professor.
Had a great time with this professor real down to earth helpful and informative. Take her if you can
Had so much fun with this teacher! No need to buy the textbook, she provides notes on PowerPoint. Tests are actually difficult, but if you study the notes, you'll do fine. (or you should anyway?) Attendance isn't mandatory, but every time you miss a class you lose 5 points. So, it's up to your judgement. Amazing professor!
here I come lol. She is awesome!! It was a very nice class. You'll learn a lot, b/c she knows a lot and teaches very well.. So, take her if you got the chance.. Not an easy "A"!! But u can make it; just study..
She was a pleasure to have as a teacher. I took her class online and her discussions were very interesting. You will learn alot in this class just make sure you watch her power points and study for the test and you will be fine! GREAT TEACHER!
Nice lady. Class is really easy.. don't even need to buy the book. Just take notes on the slides and pay attention. A little strict on attendance, but the class is pretty easy to sit through so I didn't mind going... Definitely take this class.
Absolutely wonderful! I had such a great time in this class and learned a lot. She is clear and definitely knows her stuff. Funny class but not for shy people. Tests are easy if studied for and attendance is mandatory for points. Totally recommend this professor!
AMAZING! Best teacher I've ever had. Class is super easy extra points if you don't miss any days. Some test questions a little tricky but if you listen to her it helps. Final paper is a breeze. She really reads it and gives feed back so make sure you follow the directions given. Super fun and easy class. She's funny and you will learn plenty.
Best teacher ever.Took this class online my only advice to you is study hard for your midterm and final.Overal Great class,sweet teacher.
Good teacher take her. she makes you interact with your classmates.
I took this class online. The professor is great and actually participates in group discussions which makes it fun...Loved her class. Easy A!
One of the best professors at Broward College. Her exams (4) and paper (1) are easy. Just attend class, write down notes and listen. She gives you a study guide for every test. Highly recommended you will learn tons while getting an A.
I really regret taking this course online. The weights on the Mid Term and Final are 200 each. The total you can earn for the class 600...do the math.
Mrs. Baker is a great teacher you should take her. Don't buy the book her notes is online. got a B would have gotten an A if i would've studied for the first test but all in all you will love this class. Take her you will not regret it.
Very sweet and helpful professor! She treats the class by the way the students act. Act like adults and nothing will be censored and you will learn a lot. She is full of helpful information and provides wonderful guest speakers! Test are a bit hard, but study. Very fun/easy class. Only downside is she overuses powerpoints :( i still learned though!
She is AMAZING! took it online and her powerpoints are voice recorded so you really learn the material. you need to study but the tests were fairly simple and the paper was a breeze. theres no reason you shoudnt get an A. TAKE HER!!
Professor Bemmel-Baker is FAB-U-LOUS! She wants each student to succeed, and if you take the time to interact in class, you'll get SO much more than a grade! She is THEE BEST!!
Awesome Awesome prof. I took her online and got a B with a newborn baby. Do your work on time and you will be fine. One of the most interesting classes I have ever taken. She is the best take her!
BEST TEACHER EVER! THE BOOK ISNT NECESSARY BEC SHE PUTS EVERYTHNG U NEED TO KNOW ON THE OVERHEAD... EVEN IF U FAIL EVERY TEST SHE HAS A PROJECT TOWARDS THE END OF THE SEMESTER THTS VERY FUN AND COMES W A GROUP PAPER WHCH IS EASY TO ACE... SHE IS A VERY NICE PERSON AND LOVES CLASS COMMUNICATION... TAKE HER! EASY A!
Great class! I took this online and it was one of the easiest classes I ever took. I took this because I am a sociology major and the subject was quite intesting. Easy A and most of the students seemed to enjoy the class.
We need more professors like her! She keeps you interested in class. She wants to understand the material so you can use it in your everyday life. I LOVE this professor. I would definatley take her again if I had a choice. ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS AT BROWARD COLLEGE!
Great Professor! So glad I took her class. Recommend it to everyone you are going to learn a lot and enjoy it
I took this class online during the summer. I have no interest in sociology and I got an A. There are 15 mini quizzes, 8 discussions, 1 writing assignment, a midterm, and a final. The midterm and final are a huge portion of your grade but as long as you do the study guide you should be fine. Easy A!! :)
she is very nice and holds a lot of interesting discussions. her online quizzes are simple, just read your notes and you'll do well. she gives lengthy reviews though, kind of tedious but it helps. she's very fair in grading. she hates use of cellphones, afterall its rude
She is amazing! I took her for online and there were a whole bunch of mini quizzes that were super easy and straight from her power points. I havent even opened up the book. There's one essay and it was a breeze. Shes so sweet and it's an easy A. take here!! You'll be glad you did :)
This Professor is very nice, but her Final did not cover what was taught in the class. I believe she purposely made her mid-term and final extremely hard. Plus you had to go on campus to take them. I took Human Sexuality, because I thought it would be interesting. Courses like these are supposed to help your GPA. Not this one!
TAKE her. I took her online course this Fall. A lot of reading and study. Online quizzes easy. Midterm/final are at testing center and there are A LOT of questions. Between 70 and 100 questions. Just study, read the review and you will do good.
heavily used txt book. quizzes are vocabulary, but with somewhat confusing wording. test reviews are a bit vague, you have to study. it's not a super easy A but its possible. midterm and final are long close to 100 questions with some tricky questions. one writing assignment that is easy. she loves to have discussions which is neat
Awesome Professor, I took her class online and the class was very interesting. She is very helpful in that she host a WIMBA session to ensure you understand the material. Read your textbook and stick with the reviews she provided. The midterm and finals are taken at the E-testing centers but if you focus on her reviews you will definitely do well
I would advise you to take this professor, read the guide and follow the PowerPoint. If you study her PowerPoint's and reviews you will get an A.
STAY AWAY!! This course is supposed to be an easy A given you read, follow instructions and study. I did ALL of the mentioned and still managed to end up with a B. This teacher has MAJOR ego issues. IF YOU TAKE HER WATCH YOUR GRADES! RIGHT ANSWERS MARKED WRONG & THEN BLAMED ON TECHNOLOGY. Did NOT enjoy her at all!
Amazing professor! I ended up with a "C", but I pretty much deserved it because I didn't study for the mid term.. For the final I had to study like crazy and I got a B on it. Interesting discussions. Shes grades fairly. I got a 100 on a writing assignment. She gave us a online study session before finals. She really cared about us. Study!!!!!
Great professor, took her online class for the summer and got A. Make sure you pay attention, do the quizzes and discussion. Midterm and Final done at E-centers. Material provided easy to understand Great class, take her!!!
I needed a Humanities credit and decided to take her Sociology course. Biggest mistake of my life. I currently have a 3.50 GPA, so you know I'm not lazy. She doesn't help, her mid-term and final are 100 questions each. READ THE BOOK!!!!! Participate in ALL discussions and be prepared for her mile long requirement sheet for the writing assignment.
This is not an easy class, but If you do all of your work and study hard, you will do good in this class. The professor is fair and gave extra credit opportunity. She also gives good feedback. You have discussions, mini quizzes, a written paper. The mid term and final exams are hard. She provides reviews for each test, but you must study!
Nicest professor ever, very understanding and helpful. She even uploads an audio review for midterm and final before the class even starts. Very easy grade and the textbook is very easy to read and fun.
Easy course, I got a 'B' because I barely studied and got a D+'s on both the midterm and final exams. I was focussed on my Math class so I barely read the textbook. It's possible to get an A if you actually try but failing is nearly impossible to do since its an online course. A lot of discussions, quizzes and 200 word papers so beware of that.
This class was pretty easy. I tried to do everything ahead of time so I wouldn't encounter problems. The midterm wasn't that hard if you studied what was on the study guide. The final,however, was really hard and didn't have anything to do with what was taught. If you want an easy A, participate in the discussion and do the paper and the quizzes
I took this course online. Nice professor, she explained detail on her assignment and remind ahead of time. Easy on grading discussion and paper. To get an A, you have to read a lot the chapters and outline them.
If you read all the powerpoints she posts on D2L or take notes while she's lecturing, this class is an easy A. The midterm and final can be kinda tough if you don't do the study guide, but I did it both times and I got A's on both the midterm and final. Passed the class with an A. She's really sweet and her lectures are interesting.
I took this class online this summer. It is not an easy class, and requires a ton of reading. The quizzes, midterm and final are very tedious. Make sure you are willing to work hard if you take this class. The professor is very understanding and will work with you if you run into a situation, she is great. I have a 4.0 GPA and still received a "B"
Great class, wish I took her face-to-face class. Free pdf textbook. Responds to emails quickly. Gives extra credit. She assigns quiz, discussion for each chapter. Two papers, proctored midterm and finals so study.
Unlike many online course professors that hide behind the internet and surface to enter a final grade, throughout the course, this professor is very prompt, interactive and encouraging, provides feedback, sends reminders when assignments are due or upcoming and provides clear instructions on how to complete assignments.
Ms. Baker made my first online class a smooth & enjoyable process. The class was easy to manage as she gave us the assignments that needed to be completed by the week every Monday. She would get back to you on your concerns very quickly. Discussions can be awkward at first, but you got used to it. All around great teacher, I definitely recommend.
I took her online, you need the book. She ,made us take the midterm and final in person at a campus. I got a C on Midterm and C on Final; however B in the overall class thanks to the discussion posts and tests online.
Honestly, the most helpful and understanding professor I have ever had. She is so nice, she cares about your grade, she will help you with anything, she's fair, the class was interesting, she posted announcements for assignment reminders about 2-3 times a week. Most of all, any time I emailed her for help, she answered right away to help!
Can't say enough good about this professor! She reads and comments on discussions. Everything is outlined in the syllabus. Participate in the discussions, make sure you do EXACTLY what is required on the syllabus and you WILL get an A. Final and midterm are difficult but she has power points and a good outline. FREE E-BOOK FOR CLASS!
Interesting class. Not an easy A you definitely have to put in work. Dr. Bemmel always responded in a timely manner. I would take this class again even though the papers were intimidating.
I really enjoyed this class. I took her sociology of human sexuality. With a subject like this it could've been very boring or weird. However, she is very knowledgeable. She knows what she is teaching and class is very interesting. Not too much work, reasonable tests. Would recommend.
Professor Baker Bemmel's class was FANTASTIC! Such a great professor, HIGHLY RECOMMEND her for Human Sex. She was organized, extremely prompt with E-Mailing back, graded fast, gave awesome lectures, and mid term/final were not hard. My suggestion is to keep up with the classwork, show up, and read the chapters. You'll get an A. Also gave extra cred
one of the best professors i ever had . she is very knowledgeable about the subject and makes it interesting. extremely nice and approachable however there was only a midterm and final which were kind of hard. her class is not hard there are not many assignments and she is very fair in grading. i recommend her to everyone .
It's sad when the students have to constantly correct the professor. From tests being graded incorrectly to irrelevant media for discussions, she does not seem to care about what she is teaching. It makes the class easy but you don't learn anything unless you take the time to research it yourself. She seemed ignorant regarding the subject matter
One of the best teachers I've took in my four year educational career. If you bare willing to put a little work into your grade, so is she! Gives ample extra credit opportunities, gives feedback on discussions and assignments. Responds to emails in a timely manner. I truly enjoyed her class.
Great Professor!! If you stay on top of the work and participate its an easy A. She is fair and give extra credit. Give great and encouraging feedback.
Took this class online and loved the teacher. She gives you every opportunity to make a great grade. Give extra credit for attending lectures that I really enjoyed. Would definitely take a class with her again.
In-class discussions. Easy quizzes (answers in textbook), midterm & final. She's very intelligent & gives a lot of information. You'll get a lot more out of the class if you show up, it is primarily lecture based & covers a lot of interesting topics. The service project was rewarding & a great experience. This class changed my life!
Responds relatively quickly to emails and discussions. I suggest renting the textbook, its not crucial but definitely is useful and I know I could have gotten a higher grade if I had used it from the beginning. This was a really interesting class I highly recommend it, and do the extra credit!
This was a 6 week class so it was very fast paced. Text book was online, free. There were several discussions, quiz and 2 paper (easy, got an A on both). The midterm and final were proctored. The quiz answers were NOT easily found online, grr. Passed with a B. Did offer extra credit. Great prof, answers quickly, post weekly notification.
Very good professor. Not an easy A, lots of work, discussions and essays, on campus midterm and final. Always helping, giving feedback and extra credit opportunities.
Awesome professor! I enjoyed this class very much and would recommend taking this class with this professor instructing it, to anyone.
AMAZING! loved her, she makes class very fun and interesting ! WOULD TAKE HER AGAIN! The homework and mini quizzes that are online are very easy, midterm and final are very hard, I failed both and still passed with an A, because she gave extra credit and the online homework was easy ! :D best professor!
Awesome Professor! If I could I would certainly take her again. The class was easy as long as you read your material and participated. Her response time is very timely. The midterm and final was ridiculously easy(if you read). Absolutely love her!!!! Passed with flying colors.
TAKE HER!!!! She is an amazing down to earth teacher! She responds to emails fast and really cares about her students passing! Her class does involve a lot of reading but the topics are so interesting! The discussions are easy and she interacts with the students! I received an A in this class! Just stay on top of assignments and you will pass!!!
Dr. Baker Bemmel is fabulous and so is this class. Perfectly structured online course. The class is based around the textbook, which is downloadable and free. Read a section per week with a PowerPoint summary, quiz, and occasional discussion. 1 short paper and 1 mandatory paper. Midterm and final. Stay on schedule and this class will be a breeze.
The class was an easy A if you did all of the work. There were papers and quizzes due every Sunday. She was very strict with the grading of the papers.
This was the first online class I ever took and it was insanely easy. The only grades are based on of open book quizzes and two short papers. The midterm and final weren't easy, but she covers them anyways. She makes a lot of mistakes in the quizzes, probably because they're copied and pasted from online. Easy A.
She is the absolute best! If you want a professor who really cares and pushes you to be great, then take her. Her class is not an easy A, as it shouldn't be. She really challenged me but in a way that truly humbled me. She responds to emails quicker than a friend would a text message. And you she keeps you on track with assignments which was great
Love her! I was worried I would regret taking a session 2 class, but I loved it with her! She knows what she's talking about and gives tons of extra credit and curves grades. She's extremely kind and responds to emails quickly. She learns everyone's names and truly cares. You just have to do your assignments and you'll get an A.
Shes great! I had her for a session 2 class, make sure not to turn in work late. She has midterm and final reviews, but only helps 80%. Need to read and complete video summaries and a quiz for every chapter. PowerPoints and lectures are her thing! VERY organized and a sweet teacher. She responds to emails fast. You wont regret taking her!
TAKE. HER!!!! She's the best teacher ever and really cares about her students. Her class was never boring. You do need to show up though! She had a midterm and final and she gave you a "review" but it wasnt much help tbh. The tests were easy either way. She gives you homework but its easy. TAKE HER!! EASY A! YOU WONT REGRET IT
Very straight to the point. She is a nice woman and offers extra credit when needed, nothing is too confusing about her class. The midterm and final both have a review but it helps a little, but the tests consist a lot of scenario based questions. Overall, easy class.
Professor Bemmel was very sweet and wants the class to pass. I took her online and the material was very easy and she is a very fair grader. I recommend to take her!
She's a great professor. Very engaging with students and cares about your grade, so she'll give several extra credits. Also, she's very informative, and she doesn't give overwhelming work.
Her class isn't "difficult" but there's just so much unnecessary work for this class. You have to take 2 quizzes weekly from questions you and your peers make (which is fine) but she doesn't check the questions which tends to have a lot of errors in them. You also have to physically volunteer for 8-10 hours or do a 15 page essay.
This was a great class and this was one of the best professors Ive ever had. This wasnt a boring class, its a class where you interact with your peers in open discussion and see different points of views. This was the only class I looked forward to going to. I would highly recommend.
Sweet and knowledgeable woman. I took her class blended, and she has easy quizzes just read the textbook online. She gives the class a link to it, you have a project but it's helping the homeless so it's easy and interesting. Totally take her.
I took a 6 week class with this professor. You have to memorize 10 chapters from online textbook within just 3 weeks before the midterm yet doesn't provide you with any lectures. And the midterm is 93 questions long but only allows 75 minutes of time. SO insanely stressful. She also allows no extra credit. DO NOT TAKE HER!
I took this class during the summer & it was fairly easy. Awesome professor & she grades fairly. Weekly quizzes (open book) along with discussion, 1 mandatory paper 3-4 pages, finals & mid term (proctored) scenario based questions. Her PowerPoints are extremely useful to pass both exams. She also gives a test review of what area to study.
This professor is great. She is very caring and she wants her students to do their best. I did a six week course, but even though it was a lot because of the short time frame, it is definatly easy to get an A. Just put the extra work in.
Prof Bemmel is AMAZING. She considers herself to be conservative in many aspects but keeps a neutral mind & covers a variety of topics, including several that may be considered controversial, w/o bias. Attendance IS mandatory w/ points deducted for tardies/absences. Extra credit opportunities available. Class is entertaining & assignments are fair.
She is a very sweet, good teacher. You can tell she cares about what she's teaching so it makes you care about it too! If you don't get something, she explains in a great way and gives really good examples. If you pay attention and take notes, you'll do good on the quizzes and tests. Easy A if you do what you're supposed to!
14 chapters of work. 5 question quiz (unlimited time & open note) & video assignment (75-100 word summary) due weekly. One writing assignment of 500 words, 4 discussions, a midterm & a final. She gives a review for the midterm and final. No late work but a light grader & super sweet professor. Do the work & you'll get an A. TAKE HER!! :)
Great teacher, the class is very informal and she is extremely easy going, 1 essay. She grades quizzes on each chapter , 3 discussions, short Video paragraphs, 2 exams and offers extra credit
This class has been interesting, she made it that way. There were zooms that were used for extra credit however the first zoom was mandatory to attend. It was a blended class, she went over information that is required for the week on Monday mornings, also had zooms if people did not understand the topics. One to two quizzes per week and paragraphs
You actually need to study for the midterm and for the final test. Mrs. Mirella will give you 14 videos and 14 mini-quizzes. For the mini-quizzes, you can use your notes and the book. For the videos, you have to describe what you saw in the videos in your own words (easy). And for the live-discussion- if you show up you get a 100%
Dr. Baker Bemmel was a pleasure to receive instruction from. There is a lot of writing in this class (Chapter Video Summaries, Discussions, a Video Analysis/Essay on one of the theoretical perspectives), but the professor was not hard on us. There are quizzes for every chapter and A LOT of reading. I would take another one of her courses.
14 quizzes and summary videos. 4 discussions. A midterm and Final. If you do the reading you will pass! Teacher is very responsive and gives a lot of extra credit options.
One thing I didnt like about the class was the 14 mini quizzes had question in the quiz that were not the textbook or power point she provide. We only meet less than 5 times via video chat. Her instructions and teaching could of been more clear. Work was light and easy but you are basically teaching yourself, so take at your own risk.
LOTSSS OF READING & IT WAS STRESSFUL!! You have to read 2 chapters every week, take two quizzes and submit two summaries weekly. The quizzes and summary were not a problem but the reading was a lot and stressful. I ended the course with an A anyways.
She was a great professor. There is a lot of reading but it's easy stuff. Work ahead so you don't fall behind. She offers a lot of extra credit opportunities, so do them if you think you need more points. She is easily accessible, and a very caring professor. I loved her. Wish there were more teachers like her.
She's a sweet and easy professor! I previously took SYG2340 with her and I learned a lot in both of her classes! I don't think the homework/quizzes/tests/final/midterm is hard at all, it's very straight forward. If you fail her class then you were the problem. The textbook is free (pdf) and super helpful, you should use it 100%.
She's so sweet and super easy to talk to! I liked her class so much that I took SYG2000 with her and I learned so much from both of her classes. She gives extra credit opportunities, but you shouldn't need them because her work is easy and straight forward. I have nothing bad to say about her.
This is easily the best class I've ever taken! The professor is super kind and calm, her assignments are quick and simple, and there is a lot of interesting information to learn from her. Her grading is fair and she offers extra credit, she is accessible out of class, and she is very respectful towards everybody's needs. 100% would recommend!!
Weekly YouTube video summaries, chapter notes/quizzes/discussions. You can use your notes for the quizzes. The only thing is the mid term & final exams are proctored. One 500 word count writing assignment but its just that. Shes a light grader & very nice! Just do all the assignments & extra credits. I failed both proctor exams & still got an A.
A REAL GEM! Really helped me :)
Dr. Baker Bemmel is AMAZING! I really enjoyed her class in Session 2, and I've learned a lot about sociology and diverse perspectives on society. Her lectures were fantastic; the workload was reasonable and tolerable. She is absolutely the best. I recommend taking her whether this course is a core or an elective. You will not regret it!
Great professor! Very fast class but passed it very easily. Textbook was easy to read because it was interesting so you shouldnt have a problem. Quizzes helped with the midterm and final exam. Lectures were heavy but amazing. Great to participate and express how you feel/opinions. An essay but easy to write because you speak from past experiences
I took her for SOCL 1020 (Intro). She was very easy going, and was very detailed in expectations. Weekly quizzes, video paragraphs, and sometimes discussions. Two term papers that were easy prompts along with multiple choice midterm and final! Entire course is posted and available to you start of semester. Highly recommend her!
Forget what other students say. I took this teacher for 6 week course. Of course I expect a fast paced class, but the amount of work this professor requires is cynical. The week of the midterm, she assigned a 5 page essay and made us read out of her own book. Then got upset that many people got caught cheating or failed. No study guide. I warn you.
I did the 6 week course & it was quite easy. Each chapter had three assignments: notes, video summary, & a 10 question quiz; with 1 discussion per unit. There was one paper that had to be 4-5 pages, but she let the class know 2 weeks before & provided a sample paper. Both the midterm & final exam had a study guide. Easy class with minimal work.
This is a very easy class take this if you want to pass ! It was a lot of work !! But you can knock them out the way very fast it was mainly note taking from videos and reading stuff, discussions and quiz it was easy I passed this class with a B (81.79%) I could of passed with an A but I didnt complete a few note taking which cause me to have a B
I took the short session (2) with her but I really wish I had her for longer bc she was so passionate and really opened my eyes to a lot of things. Some of the things I learned from her class have really stuck with me. She is super caring and friendly plus the class is easy. The final was the easiest thing I have every done. I loved her 100/10
Awesome professor super caring and organized always sends out emails to keep you on track would take again in a heartbeat
For a 6weeks class you have to read 2chapters of like 20 readings each weeks take handwriting notes of them,summarize 3videos and 2discussions and 2quizzes each week. But shes not a though grader. 2 exams based on the quizzes
This is a note taking course, be prepared to read as well. Took class for 6 weeks and it goes by fast, keep up with it, don't procrastinate. Assignments are easy, 2 exams, couple quizzes and 1 writing assignment. I enjoyed this class, she was great :).
Great Professor and very understanding. She is passionate about what she is teaching and the course in very interesting. The assignments are pretty easy. Do the midterm and final review!!!
I have no idea how this teacher has a high rating. If you're taking her for 6 weeks. Absolutely run. Maybe it's different for a longer period of time but the 6 week course is crazy
The professor herself is fair and nice, however, most of her quizzes and exams were nearly impossible with precise questions. The whole class got extra credit for the exams because they faired so horribly. It is a guaranteed B, minimal if you complete all other discussions, video assignments, and there are two times to take the quizzes.
This course is a lot of busy work like discussions, readings, video summaries, quizzes, and hand written notes. She wants you to physically write your notes and submit. However, its doable if you do all your work you will end with an A. The final and midterm are difficult I failed but still finished with an A so do your assignments and take her.
I took this class online and it was a lot of busy work due every Sunday it is doable though. She asked for hand written notes which is the only downside. The midterm and final were hard but as long as you do all your assignments you should end with an A.
The sweetest professor!! Her class is so interesting and the conversations give you so many different perspectives. She's always so kind and really helps you internalize not judging people as quickly as we usually do. You always leave her class with something to reflect on. Class is very enriching and there are only exams for midterm and final.
Dr. Bemmel is a fantastic professor who responds to emails promptly and offers helpful feedback. On your final and midterm exams, she also lets you utilize your notes (which can only be two handwritten pages), which was a big help to me. Without a doubt, I would take her again.
I took this class during the summer.
She is a great professor. As long as you keep up with the assignments it is an easy A. She does give a lot of busy work but it is very managable.
Be prepared to watch 2 hours of required videos and read for 6 hours every week (unless you're a fast reader, I'm kinda slow). Recommend taking this course only if your other courses do not have a heavy workload; it was very time-consuming. I got an A even though I barely passed the midterm and final, which contain a few questions from the quizzes.
Professor Bemmel is great - as long as you stay on top of the assignments, it's a manageable class. The midterm and final are challenging, but using tools like Unstuckstudy and taking handwritten notes can really help. Definitely worth taking if you're interested in the subject.
One of the best professors I've ever had. Although some of the curriculum includes controversial topics, she allows everyone to have their own opinion and doesn't try to sway you in any direction. Makes the lectures very interesting and entertaining. Very responsive if you have questions in class or virtually. I wish I could take her again.
SHE'S A NICE PROFFESSOR, VERY PROFESSIONAL, SHE HAS GREAT LECTURES, AND GREAT TOPICS TO TALK ABOUT BUT THE ONLY DOWSIDE IS THE AMOUNT OF HOMEWORK WITH ALL THE VIDEOS YOU HAVE TO WATCH AND ALL THE ANSWERS YOU HAVE TO ANSWER, AND THE MIDTERM AND FINAL EXAM ARE REALLY HARD AND LONG BUT SPECIALLY THE MIDTERM. TAKER HER AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I took the 12 week course, it is a lot of work but manageable. Work was due on Saturday, I would have preferred Sunday. She does not accept late assignments without proper documentation. Gives opportunities for extra credit. You can use handwritten notes for midterm and final.
This course was the most unfair, lazy example of complete incompetence. Every quiz and test was filled to the brim with OUTDATED questions from a previous textbook. This includes the midterm and final. When approached with this problem, the professor brushed me off and said it was impossible to change the outdated questions. Don't take this course.
Absolutely amazing professor! The coursework is super manageable. I saw some people say the midterms and final were tough, but she actually gave a 10-point boost because she recognized that. As long as you turn things in on time, you'll be totally fine. She also lets you know exactly what's due each week.
Great professor, but there are quite a few writing assignments since this is a sociology class, be prepared to think deeply about things. Stay on top of the due dates because they do pile up.
Great class, but be prepared to think deeply about things and read and write assignments weekly. But she is a fair grader, make sure you participate in the discussions. Stay on top of the dates because they can pile up.
