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!

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!

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!!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!
