MARIAM IS A OKAY TEACHER...BUT SHE CAN BE VERY UNCLEAR AT TIMES, TO BE HONEST, MOST OF THE TIME, THE CLASS WILL MOST LIKELY BE LOST AFTER SHE'D EXPLAIN AN ASSIGNMENT... bUT SHE CAN BE CARING TO HER STUDENTS AS WELL... AS FAR AS THE WORK IN HER CLASS GOES, ITS NOT TOO MUCH, MOSTLY GROUP WORK, NOTHING YOU CAN'T HANDLE...
Great professor,joy to deal with,no boring lectures,minimum homework,a lot of group projects and hands-on activities.Absolutely love her classes.
She is a good teacher if you are willing to open your mind to what she is saying. She is a teacher that grows on you and she really!!! cares about children and how they are taught. give her a chance I enjoy her commitment to Early Childhood principles
Intense teacher she really makes you think
This instructor teaches with a passion and it takes times to get to know her, but once you do she very fair and wants to see you get the most out of your learning experinces so I recommend her to any one who want to learn some new things in ECE. She grades by your commitment to the class. I enjoyed the class and learned alot of new stuff.
Absulutely amaizing professor,I love her approach to early childhood education and dedication.My favorite professor and mentor.
Best instructor I've ever had,great class.Highly recommended!
This class that is designed to make one look inside is accomplished by this instructor who cares about how her students teach children. I feel she does a good job balancing her approach to help us become more effective teachers. I have grown significally having her as an instructor who cares about her students
This is an easy class. She teaches the information well and makes the class easy to follow. She is also a fun woman with passion about this subject. Her class was a pleasure to take.
Miriam is very energetic and knows how to envolve her kids in learning in a fun way. she's very nice and she helps you find your long-gone inner child. very amazing person. I highly recommend this teacher for anyone who wishes to learn about Early Childhood Development.
I loved her and the class...great teacher!! So fun eand positive!
It is true that in most of her classes most students drop. But she doesnt give test, rarely hoework, shes fun and knowledgable. shes also very understanding and gives chances if you really needed. Most classes are fun and i loooove her finals(a mandatory potluck!)(sure beats a test)
Confusing professor. I do not give bad ratings at all but this professor left me no choice. She is really good at confusing students. I was interested in ECE but this class changed everything for me.
Personally i really enjoy Miss Miriam .. i can understand how some might say that she is a little confusing ... but to be honest its normally the students questions that make everything so unclear ... i have had her for more than one class and am going to continue to take classes from her .. she is very smart in this field and knows what she is doi
The teacher was not clear about assignments and the last test was supposed to cover the second half of the book but instead was mixed with the previous chapters. Would not recommend her.
I really looked forward to this class, and was greatly disappointed by the prof's lack of communication, total disorganization, and general dismissive tone toward students. The grading scale changed the last day of the class, which I've never experienced before. While I'm sure she likes the academic topic, she was not interested in truly teaching.
Ms.Miriam is a great TEACHER!At the beginning of the semester she is very "firm" with things but its only to weed out the people who truly don't value their education and the education of young children. As the semester has progressed I find myself understanding the "whys" to what she meant at the beginning of the semester! I RECCOMMEND her!!!
Ms Miriam is an awesome teacher! people who don't like her just say that because they don't like to do their work! she will definitely teach you a lot! I RECOMMEND HER!
2 very different experiences, 1st time loved her she was amazing and opened my mind to new views, very informative. 3 semesters later so excited I got in with her and she was awful!!! Unorganized, rude to students and I completley wasted my time. I ended up dropping the class and taking it at City! Maybe now she's back to her old self...
Miriam is a tough cookie, she makes you think instead of giving you answers. If you are looking for an easy "A" then do not take her. If you want to learn then do take her. I love the way she teaches because I have learned a lot from her than I have in other classes. I have taken 5 classes from her so far and passed all of them with an A.
Very discouraging on her feedback. Does not help or encourage students for the better, merely states what is wrong with the answers that are given. Does not interact with problems to find a solution clearly. Very vague on her responses.
She is one of the strictest teachers I have ever encountered but it really helped me to strive and study harder to earn the grade I deserve. She was very considerate when I got sick, and I could count on her to respond on my messages on time. Despite her being strict, she is concern for her students; this is what I think of Ms. Beloglovsky.
I really liked Professor Beloglovsky's and her class. I did struggle with this class in the beginning, but she really helped me so that by the end I understood so much. She was really great in helping me learn so much this semester. I know I am going to be so much better as a teacher because of what she taught me in this class.
Ms. Miriam is an awesome teacher. She was always very helpful when I asked for help, and she was willing to work with me when I had issues. This was a hard class for me, but she really helped me a lot. I know I am going to do well in ECE because of her and this class.
Miriam is one the best ECE teachers period. I have taken 5 classes with her and enjoyed them. If you are looking to get into the ECE profession she is the teacher to take classes with. Her class involve work that is hands on, which helps cement a lot of information.
This professor really makes you think. She spends a lot of time and dedication helping students and meets with them after class to go over their reflections.
She has challenged me, held me accountable for assignments, grammar, spelling & attendance. She's scaffolded me to a new level of thinking. I am a better student, mother & teacher. She'll make time to meet with you if you ask her but wont just give you answers. She instead teaches you how to learn, how to find answers.
Challenging in a very beneficial way. The longer you hang in there the more everything falls into place & makes sense. It's difficult to change the way I think about creative experiences after a lifetime of stunted creativity but this class has helped me get back on the right path for setting up environments to help nurture children's creativity.
Isn't clear about what she wants on assignments. Is extremely rude when you ask questions. Gives vague responses. Very annoying. Do not take her if you want a good grade.
Took this course online over the summer. She Is not clear on what she wants and will not even dock you points but just give you a 0 no matter what. This should be an easy A course but she treats it like it is Organic Chemistry. Does not answer your questions thoroughly and is extremely vague. Avoid at all costs! terrible Professor!
I gained incredible knowledge about observation and documentation of children's learning. It is not an easy class, but you truly learn to respond to children's interest and ideas.
This professor is okay, but is unclear with what she wants. It should be an easy class but you must read the textbook to get an A. The observation reports are extremely important to get an A in the class as well. Make sure to always post on the discussion board every week or you will end up with 0's and not even give you some credit. Good luck.
Excellent teacher. Expects maturity of her students. Be on time and respectful, do your work and you'll do fine. Generally those that complained about how hard it was were slackers and whiners. Professor believes in turning out insightful, compassionate, excellent students that will teach excellent classes. Very supportive and insightful.
I dropped this class because this professor was so horrible. Incredibly unclear with what she wants. Makes sure to tell you when you have improper grammar, yet does not follow her own criticism. I would never take a class with this professor if she was the last professor on earth.
This is the worst teacher I have ever taken. She doesn’t explain anything. When asking for clarification she treats the student as if we are nothing and still doesn’t give any more information. I received a good grade by triple checking everything before I turned papers in. To her credit, she does have massive knowledge of ECE. Just can't teach!
I have taken many online classes and this is by far the worst experience I have ever had. Her online class is so unorganized and complicated you just want to pull your hair out. The best part of this class was the book. She seems to talk down to you with her feedback rather than being encouraging. AVOID THIS INSTRUCTOR! It has been the worst class.
Unclear about her assignments. When need clarifications, answers them very late and in a rude, unhelpful way. Expect everybody to be a full time student...doesn't understand that some of us do actually work. Not very helpful, replies very slowly, doesn't take feedback positively. Makes negative comment to students' ideas and post. NOT recommended.
I've been taking online classes for years and this is by far the worst teacher I've ever had in my life. I'm usually a straight A student but this teacher gives no insight or clarification on what she wants. If you ask her she's rude and says it's not fair to others to look over your work & give you feedback on what you need to improve on.
Is not specific when it comes to her instructions and when you do it wrong then you cannot redo it. She always tell you to refer back to her 15 page syllabus which I find not helpful because there where many questions I was unclear and when I emailed her about my questions she says for me to reread the syllabus. Which of course I did but no help.
I am going to start off by saying I am someone who is passing her class with flying colors. However, this professor has no business teaching. She is incredibly unclear and flat out RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL. The way she talks down to adult students greatly concerns me that she has ever worked with children. STAY AWAY!!!
Has a ton of knowledge she is eager to share. Serious, smart,funny, helpful and gives clear instruction. She is always available for help and responds to emails quickly. Grades for what you earn and is really fair.
I learned so much from this class and the articles, selected textbooks and lectures where great! I loved the discussion and the exchange of ideas. I enjoyed ever moment of this class.
This professor will give elaborate detail into the minutia of what you did wrong but, never acknowledges anything you do correctly. The syllabus is a novel that you must study in great detail. There is no offer of extra credit. Any tiny detail that you over look will leave you with ZERO credits for assignments!!!!! It was a miserable semester!
Unfortunately, she is rude and unclear. A knowledgeable professor that turned a potentially rich learning experience into putting up with a professor who prefers to discourage than encourage. I go to college with the idea to learn and work for my grade but I also expect mutual respect and guidance without the attitude from my professor.
This class was the worst learning experience ever. She was rude and disrespectful to anyone that she did not agree with. There was no open discussion. If you do not think the way she does drop the class. The vast majority does. She gets paid no matter how many students make it to the end.
Not clear on assignments at all. No communication on current activities. Yes, I know we have a syllabus for that, but I'm pretty sure many students have e-mailed her with same questions and has either never gotten an answer or has been left even more confused on what she is actually looking for. Emphasis on grammar but doesn't follow it herself.
Be prepared to e-mail her weeks in advance. She tends to not respond as quick as she should. You will be left to figure out what she expects on an assignment. Stickler for grammar. Class is all about discussion post, with a minimum of 4 post on 3 separate days and it was consist of at least 150 words or get a 0 ZERO!
she is not that nice you can not have a phone even on in class she is not very helpful she don't email you right away when there is not class that day came all the way to CRC and there was no class
Doesn't give clear instructionsfeedback which most online teachers are mindful of doing. You spend more time guessing what she wants than learning. I am getting a good grade so far, but I was hoping to get more out of the course. If you have a choice take another teacher. Counting the days for the end of the semester. The best part is the book.
About 12 of your grade are discussion post. You must incorporate the reading material in your post. And by doing so you must literally state what page you read it on. Otherwise she assumes you didn't read it and dock points minimum of 150 words. Her reposefeedback are cocky because she makes it too personal. Does not validate your opinion.
I am only into the second week of this class and I am already filling up the bathtub and plugging in the toaster. I am pretty sure that this professor was dropped on her head a few times as a child. She has horrible communication with her students and she does not let students give their own opinions if it offends her. Do not take her online class!
Terrible teacher! Responses are consistently rude and negative, puts down others' opinions. Talks down to students like children while advocating for more respectful treatment of children in the early childhood education field -- IRONY. Contributes very little of her own knowledge, only rude criticism and word for word regurgitated opinions. NO!!!
AWFUL! I am taking her online class right now and I wish I would have realized her grading style earlier to drop the class. You will only get full points on discussion if you agree with her even though post kind of have to include your opinion. Don't take her.
Be prepared.
Difficult professor. She is unclear on what she wants and tends to come off accusatory. For a reading and literacy class there were several easy fixed errors by her such as "Reding Week..." When asked questions such as where's the post on the evening after post should open she says, "Make sure to check post date."
VERY unclear on expectations
I have to say, even though you are very prepared for this class, she's still going to give you bad grades. Taking this class online right now and I'm already getting bad grades just because of a little small thing. I suggest do not take her class ECE 312 online. She is not clear at all!
VERY little clarity on assignments, introduced 2 in the syllabus then never talks about them again. Any questions? all you'll hear is "refer to your syllabus". No partial credit/make-up/late work. Big on "grammar and spelling," but apparently doesn't proof read anything of her own. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS unless you like torture!! Condescending/rude.
DO NOT TAKE I took her for an online class and I had to drop. She was totally unclear- her syllabus said one thing and she would say another then mark you down for doing the wrong thing. If you don't answer one question or answer it in a way she doesn't like, she will give you a zero for the entire assignment. Totally unhelpful!
I wish I would have checked this site before taking her online class. I reached out to her multiple times about struggling on some of the test. I asked if there was a way I could see what I was getting wrong so I could study differently. She said that isn't possible to do sorry. Every time I reached out for any kind of help she was very unhelpful.
Very unorganized, if you like organization don't take her. Unprepared for class. Posts last minute, even though she stresses not to do that. No study guide, or even showing incorrect answers for/on tests. Often changes board reading material after students have already posted.
Dr. Beloglovsky has some wonderful ideas as a teacher and a mostly constructive syllabus. I love that she uses d2l. .... BUT, there is always a but... I am a very organization oriented girl.. she seems to slightly lack organization as far as scheduling goes and sometimes even on the syllabus, doesn't state what she wants all that clearly...
I've been through many ups and downs with teacher! The best advice I can give you is that if you love a challenge, is the best! In the many years of attending college, I finally understand why she pushes her students hard. Of course she will be tough because this teacher wants to see you succeed. She pushes you to think more critically. Take her.
Weekly discussions are highly annoying when she wants you to post your own post on the questions she asks on specific days (Monday or Tuesday) and then respond to another classmate post on different days. That doesn't make sense to me nor does it make it interactive in my opinion. Cant wait for this class to be over! not recommended! :(
This teacher is so unorganized. She doesn't communicate with her students. This whole semester she's only posted twice in the news feed page, most teachers post the beginning of each week. If you don't post on the right days and on different days you get no credit at all she just gives you 0. I don't recommend taking her for any class.
Worst online classes I have ever taken! Very unorganized professor. Would post information and then change it a week later and not notify students of changes. E-mailed to point out an error so she would understand why there was confusion with students and she was very aggressive back. Very vague on other assignments and it will be your fault.
WORST PROFESSOR EVER!!! This professor is passive aggressive. She is unclear, rude, unfair and just plain bad at her job. I did not learn anything of use in this class. All she did was make us all feel there is NO HOPE for the education system whatsoever.
Too tough. I understand that some professors will be tough so you can learn but thats not the case with her. She has HIGH expectations of you but explains the material vaguely. When you ask her questions for clarification she rude and makes you feel like an idiot for not understanding what hasn't been taught properly. I would not take this class
YALL TRIPPIN SHES A GREAT TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes she makes you work but its worth it in the end! Dont listen to what others say, take her and learn for yourself.
She grades too harshly. She doesnt actually lecture more like tries to shove her beliefs down her students throats. She has honestly made me feel bad about my work. Ive had to second guess myself,so much. She acts like people are out to copy her work, just because she wrote some textbooks, she doesnt let you forget that she did either.
Extremely difficult grader with minimal feedback, Not clear about assignment expectations, requires way too much for an online course, should probably just have a regular 2 day class. No room for error, no extra credit. Definitely wouldn't recommend the class.
At first I was worried because of the stuff I would hear about this professor. I went ahead and still enrolled in her online class because I had no choice. She is definitely a tough grader, and she really wants to see you reflection in your work. I was honestly surprised that I passed the class with a B. Shes, not as bad as I thought.
I can detest for Ms. Miriam because I have known her for years. There were times where she was extremely tough , but she expects MUCH more from us . I will not say how difficult it was to recieve the clarity, but I didn't fully appreciate her until I took someone else. She challenges me to think at a higher level. Take her but be prepared to WORK!
The structure of her online class is very unorganized. Comes off as accusatory and rude with her feedback even though most is based off our own opinions. Will say everything thats wrong but doesnt offer solutions with her own knowledge. Very vague with expectations but will mark you down if you dont meet them, even if directions are unclear.
She is a teacher that says one thing but does another. If you listen to what she says in class about the projects you will get marked down. Do whatever it says on the syllabus because she grades based on what the syllabus says even if it is different from what she says in class. When she's having a bad day she will make sure that the class does too
She's does not grade clearly. She will not say what you get marked down for in papers (Actual words she said "Do not worry about the points or how they are given"). When I asked her what I did wrong, she pointed out that I said sometimes I do what makes my job easier when working, and she said "That looks bad professionally". Such a quack
Never gave feedback on papers. She will not say what you get marked down for. Directions are uncleared.
This is my least favorite instructor I have ever had in my life. She grades harder than necessary and does not give clear directions on any assignments, but will dock you points... I am a 4.0 student and she gave me a horrible grade due to just not liking me. She made the class much harder than it needs to be. A student couldve taught it better.
When I signed up for this class, I thought it would be an easy A. I thought the class will just consist of just paint and paper but the professor proved me wrong. There is so much more to art, its making it available to children, allowing children pick and choose. How you are a teacher make it appealing and inviting for children.
My first online class. Learned good lesson when I didnt follow clear directions but learned very quickly brought up my grade from F to A. Professor is quick to respond to emails. She also makes sure she is available to answer questions about her online class in person. Easy to talk to. Gives good feedback. Lots of good information. Good class.
Knowledgeable professor. Can be really blunt sometimes, but just wants to help you. Had a zoom lecture once a week and we often discussed in groups. Some things I didn't like were how vague some assignments and lectures were. Responds quickly to emails. Attend lectures, follow grading criteria and assignment directions, and you'll pass.
I think she overlooks that she is teaching. She tells you how you must think and it you think otherwise it is wrong. She thinks because she is an author she has that right. You cannot have your own perspective when you take her class.
Professor Beloglovsky is an amazing professor. Students can tell that she cares about her students and she wants them to learn. She is very actively involved during student discussions and she pushes them to think deeper when writing posts or responding to other students. She does not allow students to get away with I agree statements.
READ THE SYLLABUS and do the assignments and you will pass. There were mainly discussions and again READ THE SYLLABUS. It was annoying how you had to post your discussion before Wednesday and then post two more times on two different days. It was too much. If you don't do any of the assignments, you will get dropped easily. 5/10
I dont think she likes her job anymore. She was very rude and dismissive to her students. She made me angry and anxious and was not supportive in any way. She made me feel stupid if I asked a question. This class should have been informative and engaging, not a power trip. Dont disagree with her, only her thoughts are valid. Never again.
I saw reviews, was very hesitant in taking her class. She was the only one who taught 322. Gives great feedback and pushes you to think/make your work perfect. Well no one is perfect. I got marked down on a journal (20 points) for going over the page limit, literally two sentences on a third page. Syllabus says 2pgs minimum!!! Shes confusing.
Doesn't seem to like teaching anymore. She is rude and condescending and rips apart your opinions and tells you they are wrong. She made me feel stupid if I asked a question. When I reached out to her to find out what I did wrong on one of our assignments she was rude in her response. Do not take her class, it was not worth the stress!
Her feedback on assignments are not helpful at all. She comments on about 20-30 things but all she says is “why?”. I’ve taken many ECE classes with other professors and have never had trouble writing or with grades, but with this professor it seems I can’t do anything right. If you can please do not take this professor!!
Harsh grader. Does not like your opinions. Makes you second guess your work. Weekly discussions are not bad as long as you post each on a different day. Rude feedback and does not explain it. I get anxiety when doing work for her class because I know she will find something wrong in anything!! Does not use good grammar in her books either.
She’s the type of professor who will find something wrong in everything you turn in. Very rude in her feedback. Makes you feel stupid. Never had problems in any other ECE class but hers. Do not take this professor.
I’ve never had a worse teacher than her. She doesn’t even teach anything just assigns random links for you to research then grades ridiculously tough even though she doesn’t put any effort on her end. Do not take her class I am going to contact the dean about her performance. She also doesn’t like replying to students when they reach out.
Never again would I ever take this professor! You can't even ask a question without her making you feel awfully stupid. She's a harsh grader and will doc points over the littlest things. I don't know how she has not been fired yet! She's incredibly rude and has NO positive feedback to give you on anything. I had so much anxiety doing assignments!!
This class is all about weekly reading, answer general questions like "What do you get from this weekly reading? " "what are the 3 things you get from this week's material?" whole semester I felt I was lost and wasn't good enough for the class (I had more than 10 ECE classes with a straight-A record in my pocket before taking this elective course)
Lacks teacher communication with students. Does not give clear instructions for homework. Posted office hours but never showed up to respond messages. Whenever she did she would make you feel dumb. Simple as that. 0/10000
Nightmare of a teacher. I cannot believe she teaches in the ECE department. She shouldn't be a teacher at all let alone one who works with/teaches about children. I will NEVER take her class again or trust her around a child. Save yourself from bouts of verbal and psychological abuse. She is a liar and doesn't care about anyone but herself! BEWARE!
terrible at giving instructions, terrible at responding back to students. would never want her as my professor again.
Left this class within the first two weeks b/c I knew it was going to be a ** show. I think she delayed responding to emails about an upcoming report in order to secure deposits on the class, her emails within the first week were rude and demeaning. Poor instructions and the class still struggles-about 15/40 students left. Rude and unhelpful.
There is minimal effort put into setting up the class.. She would just pull random articles from the internet and have you write 1-2 pages on it. APA citation matters more than the context of the paper. Her instructions are confusing and vague. The syllabus mentioned that no textbooks would be used, however, most assignments refer to the textbook.
