She was so nice! Very helpful and very easy to get a good grade if you take notes and attend class. She can come off as hard at first, but she just wants to make sure we succeed.
I didn't like this class, it was interesting but I hated how our grade didn't contant alot of work. It was 2 or 4 journal assing.,1 research paper(6-8 pgs.),participation and attendance(Highly mandatory), and 3 tests. The tests were very confusing and you had to study for them alot!
She's a great professor! I definitley reccomend, she is fun and it's never dull. My class only had 3 exams. SO you must study. If you do your reading and studying, you will do well. One of my favorite teachers by far. She likes when you ask questions & vist her during office hours. TAKE HER!
Shes an awesome teacher! Take thorough notes and pay attention in class. Shes an awesome teacher, i totally reccomend, though you must work for your grade as there are few work assignments just a couple tests.
Didn't like how she read off the powerpoints. Also, wished we had more group discussions and class discussions or some kind of activity planned with what we were learning. It would have helped with all of the content in the class. Would have liked more homework, maybe getting the opportunity to teach a chapter to the class.
Read off powerpoints alot of the time. Barely even read the textbook. One of my peers in the class didnt even purcahse it. She does help you alot on the essays. The tests are fairly easy, but she always has a couple of confusing, could be multiple answer questions--lame. Overall, not bad teacher. Good personality, fairly easy
GREAT teacher!!! Power points were very helpful. We never really used the book in class. Exams were a bit difficult but you will do good if you study. She allowed us to use a cheat sheet for one of the exams! :)
Extremely BORING. All she ever did was read powerpoints word-for-word. Never switched it up. Pretty easy as long as you read powerpoints before tests. Takes attendance randomly which lowered my grade. Would only recommend if you're looking for something straightforward & boring.
Great teacher! She was really sweet and made sure everyone understood what she was saying. She was great when it came to writing papers and was always willing to help you. She posted the power points for you to print so you could always have the info. If you have the chance to take her, do it. You will not regret it.
She gave great examples and was so helpful. She wasn't strict or rude. She acted like one of us and was very consistent about her attitude around us. She is funny, smart and the best teacher to have!
Nora is an awesome professor! She is so laid back & relatable; she holds you interest really well. If you're going to take a psych class definitely take one of hers
She is an amazing teacher. She gives plenty of examples and has worksheets to work with peers to check our understanding. She is super funny which is always a plus. I recommend her 100%. My favorite teacher by far.
Such a good teacher. Lots of information that follows a note sheet almost exactly. Easy to study with notes. Only use book information if you miss a class to fill in missed notes. But go to class. Lecture from her is 100% better than the book. Recommended 100% to take this teacher.
took online course for her. read the chapters! use her notes as guideline for reading the chapters. she seriously has information that are not on her notes on her test which are HARD. She is very easy grader on essay! and if you take her online class make sure to check for hw on the Connect site because she WON'T remind you of it! good luck!
Awesome teacher. I loved her energy, which is what made the class so much fun and interesting. I usually dislike powerpoints if its an every day thing but I forgot about that since she was a fun teacher.
She was Great! One of my favorite teachers of all time! She was very helpful. I just enjoyed her as my teacher!
She was an amazing teacher. Really enjoyed the class. Exams were very straight forward. She showed videos of her own kids language acquisition making the class even more enjoyable. Overall, she was great, and I highly recommend taking her course!
I enjoyed being in her class! Everything was properly explained and she was quick at grading and responding to emails.
Absolutely loved her! She's hilarious and has a lot of energy, making class more enjoyable! Her class is really easy if you just show up and take written notes on the powerpoints, she does review games before her tests which makes it easy to pass her tests. I highly recommend her, you won't be bored and her often "F-bombs" will make you laugh!
Amazing teacher, good lectures, but a little disorganized. It takes forever with grading. Test are made very difficult so be prepare to use the study guides she puts on blackboard and READ THE TEXTBOOK! One writing assignment, four take home test (have a week to finish) and final is a group project. Overall be willing to work for your grade.
I took Dr. B my first semester at CLC and I loved her class. Her lectures are very informative and helpful & will help you understand the subject. She is also very funny so that kept the class entertaining. She is very straightforward and her class is easy if you just do the reading and pay attention to her lectures! I had a lot of fun in her class
Loved Dr. B! She's amazing. Super funny, nice and chill. Very approachable. Makes class interactive and fun. Go to class and the rest is easy, very fair grader. Textbook was necessary only for online homework. Tests and projects fairly easy and she's usually ok with a few late days or tardiness so long as you get everything done.
Dr. B is cool. She makes class interesting. Very engaging. She's a fair grader but don't underestimate her tests. She's very approachable and laid back with deadlines. Class consists of a lot of power points but a few group exercises, movies, and discussion. Very funny, tells stories in class. Fairly Easy class so long as you get everything done.
I took her online course. It was very organized and fun. There are a few papers and many discussions that are important to your grade. There are reading quizzes for every chapter and she puts videos out that better explain the subject matter. Very smart and very nice person.
I took the class online. Everything was clearly explained and the due dates were given far in advance. There is a lot of work involved and reading. My class was late start so I had about 3 chapters to read and complete online activities for. There are 4 exams, all of which were fairly easy if you completed past work. Nora was incredibly helpful.
Dr. Benjamin, was awesome: she made lectures fun and she was very funny too. She is a fair grader and if you ask for help, she is more than happy to help you. She provides study guides for tests, so study the notes and study guides and you will do fine. Would definitely take another class with her. Take her and you will not regret it!
Gives really good lectures and she was available to talk in her office.
Great professor. Really knows her stuff and makes class fun. Great personality when lecturing and makes it exciting to go to class. Not too many big assignments. nothing too hard either. Would take again
Mrs. Benjamin is one of my favorite teachers I have had at CLC. Very easy going and blunt about everything, she's really funny and nice too. She has this energy that makes everyone interested to learn and will explain until everyone understands. All assignments/tests are easy if you follow simple criteria. Easy grader, good feedback, remind etc! :)
The class was good. Mrs. Benjamin explained the material really well when she was teaching the class.
I loved Dr. B's lectures and overall class presentation. The homework is not very complicated, but useful for tests. Great class, would definitely recommend!!!!!
Dr. Benjamin is probably the coolest teacher I've ever had, on any level. Her classes were so lively and fun and her lectures were very memorable. In a word, she is AWESOME. That being said, she expects a lot of the class, especially for chapter reviews and tests. Expect to spend a good amount of time studying.
Shouts out to Doc Benji. What a great professor!
Dr. Benjamin is very engaging and open. Great class discussions and she is able to get people to open up. She caring and funny. One of he best teachers I have had. She is willing to help. Highly recommend her class.
She is so nice!! She lays it all out there for you and posts the PowerPoints on Blackboard. Tests are take-home and written and you're given a whole week to use her posted PPs and the book to do it. Homework is light and not too hard. There was one group project that you are given a month to do. Great class, take her classes!!
Dr. Benjamin was entertaining as always, I always looked forward to a lecture. She does expect you to keep up with homework and reading assignments. Beware of her grade book as well, she updated mine the day of finals... As long as you keep up with the assignments and attend her lectures it will be an easy class overall.
Dr. B is great! It is nearly impossible to not pass this class with an A if you take her. She is absolutely caring and is willing to give you extensions with homework if you really need it. You will not regret having her as a professor.
Grading took a while. Lecture heavy.
Dr. B is a wonderful teacher! Sometimes reading material out of a textbook can be a little confusing when its not something I'm totally interested in, however Dr. B gives such great lectures that you can't help but be engaged and learn the material. She also gives a lot of extra credit opportunities online. I would highly recommend her.
She is very nice and helpful. Great lectures, cool by nature. Great experience!!
Love Nora!!! Such a sweetheart and no matter what learning style you have, she is so accomidating. I took her class in person and online and loved each of them. She had clear critera and I got an A with basic studing, nothing crazy at all! Loved her and i highly reccommend especially for new college students.
wonderful professor! always in a good mood and makes class entertaining. some tests can be difficult but nothing to crazy. pay attention to paper due dates she won't always remind you when papers are assigned she just collects on due date
Shes amazing and super supportive.
I took professor Benjamin's class and although she was quite a difficult professor I passed. Exams are based on lecture and powerpoints,along with textbook. She is very unorganized and spontaneous. If you feel uncomfortable with swearing don't take her class. I received an 87% and asked if my grade could somehow be made an A, but it did not happen.
I would absolutely take her again. She was one of the best professors Ive had.
Great class
3 small papers then one 6-9 pages 4 exams 10 mini tests like 4 DB lots of reading and some tests have info not on study guide you can maintain a decent grade but you have to do well on tests if so. multiple assignments due in a week which was exhausting ex. DB, mini test, paper and exam due in one week. lots of knowledge to retain
Best teacher I've ever had for a psych class. She keeps it real and is always ready to help anyone. If you are taking a psych class, you need Nora Benjamin.
She was one of the best teachers I've had. She's very compassionate about her profession and she's hilarious. It's very lecture heavy, but its not hard to follow.
Dr. B is a phenomenal teacher, but her material and lectures are extremely heavy. You really need to study your notes like every day to get good test grades. She makes class very fun and takes students feedback to help us understand the material but her class is hard.
Dr Nora Benjamin is such a great teacher! She's funny and realistic and the material is made so easy by her.
Dr.B is by far the BEST professor I had while at CLC. She is so excited about teaching, and it makes you excited to be in her class. She is so caring and helpful, and she understands that we are all busy students with other classes. She loves what she does and it really does show. I was always so excited for her class, even if it was just a lecture
I liked the class a lot, but it was hard to keep up with my grade because she doesnt update blackboard regularly or pass back papers. By the time I knew of my grade there was about a month and a half left of the semester. Shes really nice and funny, but you gotta keep hounding her for grade updates and due dates for assignments.
I love that she is very understanding
Nora is an amazing teacher and really helps you out! When we had exams coming up she would use this program to help us study for it. If you missed anything then it was a lot harder to pass, but her grading criteria was very specific and the class was amazing!
An amazing professor! Super enthusiastic about the topic. I look forward to showing up to class because she is an awesome teacher and makes the subject even more interesting. Cares about her students and their participation.
The best teacher Ive ever had. Ive had her twice and would take her again! Its a class I enjoy going to because shes so enthusiastic and makes a lot of jokes. Always in a great mood. She really cares and if theres any issue with deadlines or anything, shes willing to help you find a solution. Can not recommend her enough!
Had her for my first semester, made Psychology really fun and interesting to learn about. 100% sure am going to be majoring in Psych. Powerpoints and explanations are clear, if she's going to fast she will ask if anyone needs to catch up. Always in a good mood and talks about a lot of funny things to make you laugh. Had a blast
Nora is an amazing teacher! highly recommend taking her class. Class is extremely easy but she keeps you well informed and engaged the whole time. Her lectures are amazing, she responds very well to emails and papers. Maybe two homework assignments were given, all exams are questions and at home. No quizzes as well. Would beyond recommend taking!
Mrs. Benjamin was easy to work with! Her syllabus was very clear, along with all her assignments & essays. Gives you enough time to turn in your work. Also very understanding if you hand in an assignment late, was always accessible through email! I highly recommend!!
Professor Benjamin was such a good professor to have my first year of college. She made Psychology a fun class and was very passionate about what she was teaching! Definitely would recommend her, psychology was my favorite class!
Shes super awesome and engaging. Helps you understand the content. A lot of offerings for extra credit. Always expands her due dates to help.
Professor Benjamin is a fun loving caring professor! She make lectures fun and you don't have to have your camera on! She gives chances on extra credit! Super fun professor! favorite one in the college!
Nora Benjamin has been amazing throughout the semester. She respects the class as adults, and has visibly put an outstanding amount of effort into the transition to online courses. With the amount of resources provided, this class was not only satisfying but also rewarding. With a teacher like Nora, you will find success.
Dr. Benjamin was by far my favorite teacher this semester. She was always enthusiastic about the subject and genuinely care about her students. She was also able to provide the material in an understandable but also extremely insightful way. I hope to take another class with her if I can!
Her assignments and exams are impossible. You can read the textbooks and take as many notes but it won't help. For the match the definitions with the terms assignments, NONE of the definitions are the same with the textbook. The rewording makes it impossible to understand. She doesn't post what the correct answers are. How can I know what's wrong?
Best teacher I had
This was my first time taking psychology and working with her was amazing very clear lectures study your vocabulary and you will do great!! She offers extra credit as well!
I took her online anytime class over the summer (6 weeks) and although it was fast paced it was very easy to keep up with. Each chapter we went over she included video lectures from previous classes, the PowerPoint she was going over in said videos, and additional content to further explain topics. One of the best online classes I have taken so far
You better like reading. She does slides presentation and grades a bit harsh. Gives unlimit chance to take voc. quiz. 4 discussion, 3/4 Presentation worth 50 points each. Interview paper 6-8 pg. She dont want answer but use theroy in paper. Better know what your talking about with the theory cuz she docks. Use example she gives for the final paper.
Dr. B was by far one of my favorite professors here at CLC! She is so kind, funny, and respectful. Her lectures were always well organized and the material she teaches is straightforward. Even though she didn't require perfect attendance, students still need to put in the effort for this class. Overall, I definitely recommend her!
Dr. B was absolutely amazing both times I've had her. She defiantly grades fair and actually reads your projects. Witch mad me super comfy putting in my all and even my personal past into my projects. Will def looking for her when selecting classes.
Dr B was awesome. Loved the course and learned a lot. If you read and comprehend the reading, you will do well in the class
Dr B is awesome! If you read and comprehend the assigned chapters you will do well in the class.
Professor B is such an amazing, enthusiastic, kind person.
Her feedback was always really positive! I took an online course and it was a bit material heavy but the class was simple and went by really fast. If you understand the material you will do good in class
LOVEEEE ms benjamin, super funny and made class understandable
Lectures are well explained and made us do quizzes online as well as exams.
Such a nice, funny, and engaged professor. There was a lot of times where work involved getting into groups or talking with the peers around you but honestly made me socialize more. There is a lot of assignments but easy work if you put the effort and time into them. Final was simple and she gave us opportunities to get our grades up.
Dr. B is amazing! Truly cares about her students and the lectures were interesting and fun. Lots of reading and assignments, but late work is accepted with points taken off. Make sure to start reading early, or it'll drown you later! THE FINAL WAS THE ONLY TEST; and it was multiple choice! Easy class as long as you do the work and stay caught up!
Dr. Benjamin was such a fun class to have first thing in the morning. My class was very quiet and tired, but she stayed theatrical, often telling wild stories from her personal life. Most of the class is note taking, but if you stay on track, it's so easy. I wish I could tell her how much I appreciate her energy and passion.
Dr. B was amazing! Very passionate about psychology and would often use in class activities to make the content easier to remember. Always asked every student how they were every class period. Extremely hilarious and I would 100% recommend her to anyone who is interested in psychology.
