She is a good teacher. Her classes were interesting, her tests are demanding.
No Comments
she is such a great teacher... very clear and explains things thoroughly. there is a lot of work to do, but there is no info on tests that she hasn't gone over in class.
Go to class everyday and you'll have no problems. Professor is entertaining, and only covers what will be on the test.
funny, good, and LOUD
One of the best teachers I have had.
she was super loud and sometimes it was a little much, life if you came in not feelin all that great. but she was ALWAYS prepared and VERY VERY entertaining! i also learned a lot in this class, very useful info! ;)
Very nice teacher, loud, yet very helpful. Her tests are pretty easy because she gives you a study guide beforehand with the exact info that will be on the test. She is sweet and funny.
Very loud but good nice teacher. Go to class and be ok
Dr.Brown is so funny. She's like a comedian. She makes whatever she's teaching very interesting. She sings in class, and she talks very loud. I guarantee that no one will ever fall asleep in her class, that's a promise. It's an easy class.
In one word AWSOME!
She is very entertaining, very LOUD, and very enthusistic about her teaching! Always enters calssroom with a slammed door and a shouted, "GOOD MORNING CLASS!!" (Tip: You are expected to respond!)
She is AWESOME! She is one of the best professors I've had at SFCC. The info she teaches is really interesting so you don't want to miss the class. My one regret is that I took it as a summer class instead of a full semester class because I liked it a lot
Dr. Brown is the best professor I have ever had. She is very entertaineing, in fact she remends me of Chris Rock. She is what made me change my major to sociolog. You can apply everything you learned in her class to you life. Take her class!!!
She is great. All you have to do is go to class, the way she presents the material you won't have to study much. Plus you get a study guide with all you need to know. SHE WILL CRACK YOU UP!
Dr. Brown is hillarious and she is VERY VERY Loud. she always welcomes everyone with a loud "hello class." When writing your journals, you should go to her office for review. She will keep you entertained as well as informed and educated! Great
Shes amazing! Favorite teacher of all time. Shes soooo funny and teaches you so much with her funny stories. If you listen and go to class its an easy A. YOu end up loving everything she says! i recommend her for everyone.
Taking Dr. Brown's Marriage and Families class was sooo much fun. If you take this class you will laugh so hard at all of her jokes. She makes coming to class worth while. I give her an A+!
I had her for Marriage and Family. Dr. Brown is off da chain. She keeps class interesting and fun. She is the best teacher that I have had at SFCC and thats REAL
She is amazing! Her teaching style creates an incredible classroom vibe. She is hilarious, energetic, and presents the material in such a way that comprehension is guranteed. You will always be exited about class with Dr.Brown!
Unforgettable
She is the loudest and funniest teacher you will ever have. She gives you study guides for the tests and the tests are fairly easy. Take her class it is so interesting and entertaining.
Great Instructor, very funny and will wake you up in the morning, fun class to take and apply to real life.
Ms. Brown is a really great teacher, she's so nice, and very helpful.
She is great. she makes marriage and the family fun
SHe awsume bestteacher i've ever had explains everything go to calss everyday and make an A. Test were supper easy!
PURE SATISFACTION! (SAYS ENOUGH ABOUT DR.BROWN) I ENCOURAGE ALL OF MY FRIENDS TO TAKE HER COURSE IN MARRIAGE AND FAMILY. DR. BROWN KEEPS IT REAL!!
very outstanding teacher
Dr. Brown is a great teacher with a lot of enthusiasm and energy. She is better than coffee if you take her 7AM class. She is loud which will definitely wake you up. Be sure to participate and show up to class and you will make a good grade.
Ms. Brown is the greatest teacher. show up and listen and you will do great. she is funny and smart, makes the class interesting
great teacher.. such a burst of energy
Dr. Brown is amazing. I feel sorry for anyone who took this class without her, because they didn't get the full effect, or the fun! Her class makes me want to go to school and I find myself disappointed when the class ends. Definitley recommended.
Alright Dr. Brown, I know you are reading this. If I could think of a song to type up on here I would since you obviously liked to sing. You are one of the best professors I have taken out of the 4 schools I've attended. Thanks again and best of luck w/ everything! SIGN UP FOR HER COURSE!!!!!!!!!!
Dr. Brown is the best teacher I have had in my life. She brings excitment to the classroom. I found myself eager to go to class and learn more about this subject. She explains very well. She wants you to know more than a definition to a word. I truely loved this class and look forward to more.
I had her for a 7AM class. If I had a different professor,I would have probably stopped showing up to class in the second week. But she kept it fun and exciting which motivated me to show up every morning at 7AM. I learned a lot in her class.
Dr. Brown is fun to listen and nice to look at. I know she reads these so if you take her class, she will ask you if you went here. Say yes, because you did and then say that you heard that she had "a little chili pepper" next to her name!
Dont know what these people are talking about?! Lets go through the reasons I hated this class and teacher. 1) 20 min late to all classes 2) **** 3)Covers 30% of test in class! (but has study guide) 4) Only teacher with no makeups allowed! 5) 30% of grade counts on you being there! Rate her @ D-
Dr. Brown is an awesome teacher! I took her class two years ago and still remember some of the Marriage and Family theories. If you want an A take her. I got a C+ in the class because I wasn't as disciplined as I should have been. Honestly, thinking about taking it again; It was just that good.
EASY CLASS. Just remember to do the study guide and you'll make an A on the tests. Some days we even took notes outside! Dr. Brown never took attendance, so you don't worry about that.
Her lectures are very easy to understand. She is very interesting and you can tell that she really enjoys what she does. If you do the study guide you will get A's on her tests. Class was never boring.
Dr. Brown was one of the best professors I have ever had. I read one rating that was bad...and that is a complete lie. Everything on the test was talked about in class, and if you missed a class(which you never want to)you get the notes and get a review. Take this class!!! You won't regret it!
She's boisterous, animated, loud and makes the class enjoyable.
She is very loud and clear. I really loved her class and tell everyone to take it. It is an easy A also. What is better than getting an A for something that is enjoyable.
Dr.Brown is awesome. She really tries to present the material in a relevant and exciting way-and she succeeds.Class was never boring, and sometimes class was held outside.The tests were easy as long as you showed up for class and did the study guide.
She is very good I would recommend any one to her... The one rating that was bad is a lie.... SHe covers everything in class and aslo READ THE BOOK N DO THE STUDY GUIDE!! and you will GARANTEED PASS!!
She's a great teacher she brings the class down to your level, she is free to comments and makes you feel comfortable with things that may not always be comfortable.
Dr Brown(Prince now!!!) is so energetic and exciting. She makes class really fun, you want to show up and participate. Take good notes, do the study guides, and you'll do great.I've recommended her to EVERYONE I know, because she's awesome.
Dr Prince, fomerly Brown, is a wonderful teacher. She truly makes 7 am on a monday morning fun! I was happy to read that she was better than coffee in the morning before I first took her class, and it is the truth. Study notes, and scan parts in book that are in the study guide and you'll get an A
She is cute, hilarious, swear she is related to Chris Rock, She looks, acts, and sounds just like him. She is an amazingly gifted teacher. I wish there more like her. She is hilarious and just an amazing example to all. I learned about life and about sociology! Just take the class even if you don't need it. I pray for more tachers just like naima.
lots of energy even at 7 am
BEST TEACHER YOU WILL EVER HAVE!!!!!
Dr Prince is amazing!! she makes class so interesting i would love it if every teacher was like her!
i totally loved Naima...she was awesome and made the material so easy to learn...i got a C in her class because i didnt pay attention but i know if i had of i would of gotten an A lol
Price N. is the coolest
too bad she is not blonde but great teacher
Dr. Brown is my favorite teacher. At first it was intimidating because she's very loud. Because of her, I look forward to class which is weird. Definitely not a boring moment in her class.
I enjoy this class like no other!She is such a good teacher to just listen too!Our class is always fun,and she always gives interesting stories to explain her topics further.She gives good homework assignments,and she can really explain everything in detail.Her tests are fair,but you have to do the study guides,which are easy!Get her as a teacher!
The first day of class, I was already in love with the class. She is loud and in your face but tells the greatest stories and makes learning the subject so much fun.Her tests were easy(do the study guides &go to the reviews).Most of the information is from the lectures.Go to class even though attendance is not mandatory. Best teacher at Santa Fe!
Dr. Brown is the best teacher I've had in 2 years of going to Santa Fe! She is bright, energetic, and FUNNY as they come. She always has stories to relate to the material and is very open about her life and how she came to know and understand the material she teaches us. Do the study guides and go to class and you will get an A, easily.
If your not a mourning person then dont take her class in the mourning because she is quite loud and enthusiastic at 8 in the mourning. If too much enthusiasm is a teachers only problem then you know this is a great teacher.
Great very enthusiastic, willing to help you with anything you need. gives you everything you need to receive an A in the class, you just have to go to every class to get the notes, do the study guides and you will pass the test. Best teacher ever take this class!
Dr. Brown is an amazing teacher, and loves what she teaches. This class is very fun and interesting to learn about. If you take notes and go to class you will have no problem passing this class. There are 6 short papers, but very very easy, will drop the lowest grade out of the 6 too. You would be a fool not to take her!
Great teacher, great class. Shares many of her personal life experiences with her class. She's also loud and proud.
teacher is great. shes loud, and proud. take notes, and do the study guide. with minimal studying, its an easy A. Enthusiastic, and funny as can be. TAKE HER!!
Dr. Brown is awesome! She's hilarious and LOUD! Super nice lady. Teaches solely off of lecture and study guides. Take notes. Her syllabus sets out her rules very clearly, and she does not make ANY exceptions. But overall awesome professor. I received an A.
Took her for Social Problems and got an A. Easy to do well if you just do all of the assigned work to her specifications. I didn't care too much about the class and took it at 8AM. I missed class quite a bit, but just read the book to make up for it and did fine, cus attendance isn't required. If you miss class, get the notes from someone else too.
Best teacher at SFC I took mf, now soc next social prob. All test ?s are given on day 1 /book is only needed to do the study guides. She doesn't check attendance but 90% of the test and study guide questions come directly from her class lectures so either go to class or make friends with someone who does because you will need the notes to pass.
Dr. Brown was a great teacher, she is really passionate about what she teaches and is guaranteed to keep you awake. I would reccommend her for anything she teaches.
Dr. Brown made the class fun. I worked nights and came to class and I was able to stay awake and she made it interesting. She is very loud but it makes you pay attention. She repeats things so you can jot it down for notes, I would recommend her.
The best teacher. I've had her for both sociology and marriage and family. She makes the class entertaining and explains very well.
She is the FIRST teacher I ever had that kept my attention in my summer classes. She will explain things in a way that you can relate to. She speak loudly, so there is NO way you would have a chance to fall asleep. Not only that, she is extreamly funny and easy on the eyes. I wish I had a teacher like this for the rest of my classes.Great teacher!
Take her class now! She is helpful,willing to help before and after class,nice, and very energetic
well she is alright but if I had known I wouldn't have taken her at all let alone during summer. She's cool but never again. Ask around you might get a better teacher
Teacher is very loud, and does not care whether she intimidates others in front of class with test grades. She is not compassionate, and does not have any sympathy for your personal illness; email me and stated i was failing after 2nd test and drop and add 3 days pass. flat out F grade.
Great teacher, loud, definitely will grasp your attention. She does not accept anything late, so do be wary if you slack on deadlines. Teaches everything on from study sheets she gives you that are based on the tests she gives. Overall definite take, I didn't even have to buy the book from this class.
Ms. Brown is a great teacher. She gives you a review sheet for every test that if you study, you'll ace it. The test are in scenario format and about 50 questions. Every once in a while she will assign a 1 page paper where you have to apply five terms...very easy. In addition there are 10 1 page papers due near the end of the semester. I have an A+
Makes learning fun and is LOUD (esp if you take her in the morning). You can pass if you just read the textbook, but it's better if you go to class. Does good reviews before tests. Relaxed teaching style and knows what she's doing. Very open to help. Only assignments are papers using vocab. I definitely recommend her. :)
AWSOME PROFESSOR!!!!! Very interactive, keeps the interest up in class and great teaching skills. She knows her stuff and wants everyone to do well. One of the best at SFC I have had!!!
This is one of the best teachers I have had so far. She is very clear and tells you exactly what she wants. This Class is fairly easy but heed this with caution. The tests are easy to fail if you are not fully prepared. She expects you to read the book too. She will tell you were to look for the answers on her study guide, if you ask.
i had this teacher for honors intro sociology and she is the best teacher ive ever had, shes hillarious, loud and keeps you alert throughout the class. youd never wanna miss a class and even if you did, no biggie! we never really used the book, and tests were really easy! i love her and id take any of her clases again!!
I love Dr.Brown!!, she is soo fun and her class was easy.The way she teaches is amazing I would take her again in a heartbeat, one of the best professors I've had.
Loved her class. She was very helpful and made class fun. I really enjoyed her teaching style and she is a very (loud), enthusiastic person. She gave a lot of extra credit and assignments were fun and easy. Would love to take her again.
great teacher really care's about her students. its fun to go to class. she will help you as long as you help yourself. plus she looks great.
She is AWESOME!!! Take her!!!
She is AWESOME!!! Take her!!
Dr. Brown is a great teacher. She is extremely helpful in helping students understand the material, and she really enjoys her job. She's one of the best teachers at Santa Fe.
Social Problems is a very interesting class. Dr. Brown makes the class 10 times better! She's very loud, but that adds to the fun and makes things interesting. There is never a dull class, and she always has you laughing. She uses personal stories for examples, which really makes you feel connected. Great class, I highly recommend it! :D
AMAZING TEACHER <---end of story right there. She will respect you if you respect her. Prof. Brown is always willing to help and for that a student should be polite and say, "thank you." Class is always fun, loud, and interesting. I highly recommend this teacher(:
She is a great teacher! Make sure you take notes for all her lectures and any videos you watch because that's what the tests are based from and save any handouts she gives out. The tests are TAKE HOME, but I had to work hard and write a lot (20 pg paper) to get an A in this class. Keep in mind, I took honors.
Dr. Brown is a nice person, however she seems to think ear-splitting LOUDNESS is the only way to convey information. When she DOES speak normally, it's clear and concise. She gets moody and takes it out on certain people. I enjoyed the class, but didn't feel like I learned all that much. She's a harsh grader so work hard at exams!
When it all comes down to the truth, Mrs. Brown has a bad attitude. She also gets angry easily and gets mad when people ask questions in class. On a good note, she is pretty clear on notes.
Dr. Brown is the BEST teacher I have ever had!! She makes learning easy and fun, and she is super funny. Her lectures are fun and if you show up for class (to get info) and do your easy assignments, it's an easy A. I will definitely take her again!!! I Love you Dr. Brown!!! She also created her own text so she saves you over $50. just to start!!
For all of you out there saying she is mean and takes things out on you, I say Bull. She is very fair and helpful and if you just DO what you are SUPPOSED to do, then all is fine. She didn't "pick" on anyone in our class. If you felt picked on then maybe you should ask yourself what you could have done better. Don't worry Dr. B I got your back NC
This professor is AMAZING. Her class consist of 4 exams that are super easy and she will tell you so herself.She also requires to write short essays usually 3-5 paragraphs, but they are super simple. The only way you will fail is if you dont come to class bcuz the test are note based, but she is crystal clear about what you you should know.
Dr. Brown is the best. I loved her class. She breaks everthing dwn to where you can completely understand everything and she also makes it fun to be in her class.
the best teacher i have ever taken.. come to class and take notes b/c most of the test is based on the notes. she is a little loud at first but then you get used to it. she is very clear and concise. 3 test, 1 journal and 6 h/w.. awesome teaceher!!! would deff take her class again.. Love you Dr. Brown
Dr Brown is fun and funny...also passionate about the subject matter. She is probably hands down one of the best teachers I have had. Not necessarily easy...you have to use your brain...but notes are easy to take because she repeats EVERYTHING you need to write (or type). I highly recommend taking this teacher!
nice and helpful...yes I recommend her...not so easy but if you know your stuff easy A
she is a very nice and intelligent women, she a good and very funny teacher. Her classes were interesting, her tests are demanding. Start your journals the first day she assign them go to her office and look at the sample she is very helpful. If you APPLIED, APPLIED, APPLIED (as she would say)and study and know your stuff easy A
Dr. Brown is great! She is funny and makes even some of the more boring subjects in this class interesting. If you come to class, take notes, and fill out the study guides, there is no reason not to get an A in the class.
Dr Brown was a great teacher! I was a horrible student in high school (many years ago) but got an A in her class. Do your papers, go to class to get the lecture, and study... easy A
Go to class and pay attention you will get an A. You will also have to do journal analysis which is pretty easy. She made 3 hours go by real fast and she is very entertaining. Take her!
its a very fun class,i like how she involves the students in how they feel about some situations;however, her test are confusing being that they are scenario base questions its makes it hard to understand!
This Professor class is never boring, she makes it fun and she has a great personality. You will not be disappointed,bored at all. This is definitely a class a 5 star class with two thumbs up. -Chris Brantley
FOUR TESTS + FIVE ASSIGNMENTS. REALLY EASY JUST GO TO CLASS + TAKE NOTES + READ BOOK, AND THEN YOU WILL JUST BE FINE!! IF U JUST NEED AN "A" FOR YOUR GPA, TAKE HER!!
She spoke really loud for everyone to hear what she is saying to write down for notes. I always had a laugh in EACH class!! Going to class is importnant, because you have to get the notes. Some of the stuff she tells us and the rest you get from the textbook. We had 6 EASY essays to do. This class was extremely fun and interesting!!
Dr. Brown is amazing! I loved her class and loved her. She knows what she is talking about and only give 4 tests but the lecture notes are on the tests. I would strongly recommend her class to anyone. Not just an easy A you have to study but it's worth it. And test questions are senarios from your notes. Awesome class!!
One of the best teachers i have ever had!! I would recommend you to take her class, you will learn a lot! Her classes are very knowledgeable, and she makes her lectures very interesting, where you will enjoy going to her class.
Very interesting class! Definitely recommend! :D
The best teacher I've had.. She makes things very clear to understand, and tries to keep all of the lessons fun and interesting. She is also very helpful, definitely take this class!
She is amazing... imagine the Chris Rock of Teaching..
Super easy if you come to class and take notes, only have to use book a few times. She is really loud.
She's a little intimidating at first because she's very loud, but she's just enthusiastic about what she does and she tries to help everyone understand the material. Extremely fun class and her essay assignments are easy! Study your notes and the book for the tests, which are scenario based questions and extremely easy. Highly recommend taking her!
I loveddddd this class! sooo easy and she's a great teacher. she's loud so you understand what she's saying and it works so well! everything I was taught in this class I remember thanks to her. She's super nice and this was my favorite class because she makes every class fun and exciting wether your class is dull and boring. lol take herrrrr!
This teacher was one of the most interesting teachers I've had in my college experience. She was great and very energetic everyday. She is also the funniest teachers I've encountered in college and she also uses it to her advantage to interact with her students while keeping them interested in the subject. This teacher was excellent!
I love Dr. Brown! She is a great teacher and loves what she does! I enjoyed her class so much that I changed my major this past semester. I definently would take her class if you get the chance!
Dr Brown is hands down one of the best instructors at SFC! She is passionate about what she teaches and it shows through in the way she does. I took her for Summer B and only wished that it could have continued. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Dr Brown.
Dr Brown is a GREAT teacher. She is very outgoing and funny and her enthusiasm makes the class interesting. She makes it very easy to get an A in the class. I HIGHLY recommend taking this class.
Definitely one of my favorite teachers at Santa Fe! If you are looking to learn and have a good time while doing it, take her class! AMAZING!
Dr. Brown is an EXCELLENT teacher!!! It's clear she knows her stuff, she has a great personality & teaches with so much passion. She made this class really FUN for me! Exams were pretty easy as long as you keep up with the study guide. I don't know if she'll be teaching anymore, but if she is - I would HIGHLY recommend her!!!
This class is a blast. She teaches with enthusiasm and makes you want to know more by the end of class. I loved just going to class and listening to the lectures. Make sure you take notes! 70% of the material is from notes, the rest from book.
Professor Browns class is the only class I look forward to going to. I really enjoy the way she teaches her class.
The best teacher anyone can ask for! she teaches in a way that makes her student pay attention and give feedback. Learning is made fun it doesn't feel like learning. I am sad she isn't teaching Marriage and Families anymore.
Ms. Brown was an amazing teacher. I took her for Marriage and Family and I would take her over and over again. She makes her lectures funny and rememberable. Her test are a breeze (as long as you do your study guide) and i never missed a class period the whole semester.. If you want to learn about family and marrigae...TAKE HER!
Dr.Brown is the most amazing teacher ever! Her class is fun and she teaches with a ton of enthusiasm! This class is an easy a as long as you do your study guides for the tests. She treats all of her students with respect and works hard to call everyone by their name. Going to her class makes your day!
Great professor! I loved her. Had no interest in this class at first, and she made it fun and exciting. Take her for Marriage and Family. Great sense of humor. Very easy class. Made an A in the class without really studying at all. She gets you to APPLY what you learn to your personal life. Four 50 question tests for our class, 5 short papers.
Ms. Brown is the best teacher i have ever had. she makes classes really fun and interesting. 4 tests 50 questions, super easy extra credit: take a HIV test and watch a movie at school. she really has a commanding voice. she gets the students involved in the class. when i went to her class it was the BEST PART OF MY DAY.she is not teaching anymore:(
Great professor who made class interesting and got students involved. Called everyone by name and people actually liked coming to her class. 3 exams which were easy with the study guide and a total of 15 papers all about 1 page each. She does not accept late work! I made an A and would defiantly take her again.
One of the few teachers I really remember at SFC. She isn't scared to share who she is and how events in her life have changed her and I really admire her for that. Easy A if you study and attend lectures. She is vocal. This was the only class I ever got personally yelled at by a teacher in for turning in an assignment wrong. Still 5* teacher!
Naima Brown is one of two influential instructors I have had in my life. I highly recommend this course with her at the helm. The exams were straight out of the book, but more importantly the class was fun and she made you want to participate. I can't say enough great things about her! She truly is one of a kind!
