I thought she did an excellent job and showing us about teaching!
She has the body of a godess and a voice of an angel!
good class, but super hard tests
She is extremely approachable and always willing to help
very understanding teacher....very organized class
AWESOME!
Norma was a wonderful instrutor that actually cared about her students.
extremely knowledgable, very informative in all aspects of the teaching professi
shes nice
She is very nice. Thats a class I can always stay awake in. group talks are good
great teacher, very helpful
awesome class, makes learning fun, learn helpful methods
Good course, made me think twice & choose a different major, great lady
Norma is a good professor when I graduate I want to teach just like her.
Gives great perspective on teaching; very informative
Great teacher!! Good example!!
Wonderful teacher. I hope to become just like her!
awesome person, study for tests in advance, make outline as you read the chapter
Norma is the most wonderful teaching teacher EVER!
Great Teacher and Class
Nice lady, easy class.
SLEEP AND GET POINTS!!!!
She does a great job at giving an acurate perspective of the teaching profession
very hard tests but everything else is simple
Norma is the greatest professor at CMU, the MLE program would be lost w/o her!!!
Great teacher and easy to get along with
look forward to NORMA BAILY RAP
Had fun, tests are kinda hard but I learned a lot
She is wonderful!!!!
Her teaching is deplorable! She talks about nothing, teaches less. Waste of $
A bit on the dull side, but very easy.
Crazy lady sort of strange
Show up, do your writes, you'll do fine.
Explains everything thoroughly.
Anyone who complains about her obviously never spoke to her personally or attended class. Attendance is mandatory but she is an amazing lady and very open-minded and diverse.
Why does this teacher scare the bejesus out of me? And what is the deal about that rap? How white do you want to be?
This woman makes paint drying feel exciting. If you can handle the mind-numbing lectures you will be fine. The course on the whole is VERY easy.
failed every test, still got an A in the class; do the writes; she's a little nuts at times, but the class is really good
How can anyone insult this lady? She is a wonderful person...Sometimes the lectures get a little dry, but she is very sweet, caring, and understanding.
very nice amd friendly
nothing she talks about in class has to do with the tests, but she makes that kinda clear. As long as you read from the book you will do fine, they outline what you need to read from the book. Do the writes and do decent on the tests and you'll be fine.
Just reading the comments some made and have to say that for those who think Bailey is a waste of money, wait til you get into some of your teaching classes later...then you'll find some teachers to complain about. Bailey is pretty great.
Easiest class in the world
I read comments, and she tells it how it REALLY is in the classroom. If you find her boring, dull or whatever then get another major becuase Norma is awesome and she teaches A LOT about education!!!!
A walk in the park....one of my top 3 profs since i've been here @ CMU.
Really good professor. But look out, when she tells you she won't put nit-picky facts on the test and you only need to know concepts, just know that her definition of concepts involves nit-picky facts and numbers. Read the book. Alot.
This class is pointless! If you take this class I'm sorry for you. The only reason anyone should ever take this class is to get into the college of education, and that's the only reason. Good luck.

The test are extensive but the rest of the assignments are easy.
The tests are pretty hard, and you have a lot of writing to do, but overall, it's a good class. Excellent for someone who wants to go into teaching. You learn a lot. She's a little weird at times, but she's a good teacher.
Norma is awesome. The tests are hard but they dont matter. I got a D on every test and my grade was so high at the end i didnt even have to take the final exam which was just a paper on our class experience. Easiest A i have ever got.
No Comments
Norma is full of energy and is extremely helpful. She treats you with respect, and the class is easy. As long as you do the assignments, you don't even have to worry about the tests.
No Comments
easiest class at CMU. As long as you turn in all your papers you're all set. you can even bomb the tests and still get an A even though she curves them all! very helpful.
norma is an AWESOME teacher and an awesome person. the class was so easy, just do the work and you have an A. simple as that!
Very interesting, I got a lot out of the class, tests are hard, but you can still get an A :)

awesome person and awesome teacher.
Norma is an exceptional teacher. Her heart is for the students and she devotes her time, energy, and heart to them. She is very encouraging and enthusiastic. She is a great teacher and inspires you to me one as well.
I enjoyed this class very much
No Comments
Excellent teacher, she focuses on the students, her enthusiasm is a constant reminder of what a teacher should be like. She is really passionate, the class is easy too, just do the writes, and you will pass the class, show up too, attendance counts.
fun and understanding
Very Very excited lady. She's a great teacher and she really gives her all, but the glasses and the gear are wack. She looks like a character from "Revenge of the Nerds."
Her class is the ****! I am always excited about going.
she was very insightful and made the transition to college amazing.
Awesome teacher! If your do the assignments and go to class (attendance is graded), you'll do fine in the class.
I've heard so many times that she's the best teacher on campus-I agree so far! And who better to teach Teaching than the best??
she is very helpful and you will learn alot from her if you have her as a teacher.
Great person, tough course material. Don't expect it to make you feel good about yourself. Part of the MLE minor, so you know all your classmates.
I love this class! It is soooo much fun! Make sure you do the writes go to class there is not much to them. You learn a lot helps to you deside whether to be a teacher or not. She is always so excited to be in class! All the other teachers are too.
"Good morning, good morning, good morning, and what a good morning it is!" She is a really great teacher and her energy makes me want to be a teacher even more. Great class.
norma is definately the most energetic professor i've ever had. she's a great teacher, and tries to get some 1 on 1 with as many students as she can. writing about diversity will score you some extra points.
dedicated, awesome, cheerful, exciting, great personality, humorous, communicable. She was a great teacher, I'd take her again in a heartbeat.
Norma is a wonderful, energetic teacher who makes education seem like the best job in the world. She is very helpful and will do anything she can to make the class exciting.
awesome teacher adn very enthusiastic
Very Interesting class. I would suggest not taking it at 8am. 20% of the time they would complain about people sleeping. Be sure to go, even if you just sit there, they take attendance! Easy points
I felt she was an extremely helpful lady. So nice and made the class very interesting. Super easy class!!!
She is very nice and has an exciting look at things....if you take the class, the opening gets boring after a while, but she is soo nice!!
Good teacher
Super nice lady, however dont ****her off by walking out of class like I did (opps)!
She's awsome, on my top ten best list. content of class is spectacular. must take (literally) for education students. but she's the bomb.
This class is so easy! Especially since they cut the testing center during budget cuts, because now there are no tests or quizzes. Just go to class and write the papers - it's that simple!
Easy class! Attendance counts and the writes are easy also. Extra credit writes are given too. Go to class and do the work and you will get an A. No tests or quizzes so your grade is only on writes, other papers and attendance!!!
wow, this woman is amazing! very respectful to students, and fun too! just go to class and do the work-its pretty easy, and you'll get an A
GREAT TEACHER!! she's so nice! very helpful and knows where students are coming from! EASY class! show up do the work and you'll have an A.
She is such a great professor to have. She knows so much about middle school and all that it entails. She makes sure that you understand the information, that you are not just reading the material. Also, she does all that she can to help you!!
Wonderful Prof and person!
Wonderful professor--a unique and genuine person that learned many students' names in a 200+ lecture hall. Great course and great teacher.
such a nice person. a little perky, but she definitely makes the class worthwhile. this course is an easy A.
This woman has no idea about all the education programs on campus. I'm in the music program, and when 20 music ed majors ask her how any of this stuff applies to the music ed program, she just gives you a blank look.
This class is very easy, teacher is good...a bit chipper at times, but overall a very nice and genuine lady...like her, but don't care for the other teachers..this class is interesting, but it's A LOT of busy work...i mean like woah!
Always very chipper and helpful. Very easy class! Just do the work and you will get an A.
Very approachable, fair, and great stories that will help in your future.
She is very excited to be teaching, even at 8am. I enjoyed her and enjoyed the class, I would take her again.
Wow... she is a true humanitarian... whom cares alot about her students and work and it shows. Very easy to talk to and get to know, I can only hope to have her again as a teacher as soon as humanly possible. Always looking forward to her classes.
she seemed very happy doing what she is doing... she was up front with a lot of things which was very helpful
She is an awesome and fun teacher! Y ou will enjoy her and get a lot from her.
Norma is an awesome teacher. She is always outgoing and excited about teaching. The class is an easy A, as long as you do you writes.
Norma is totally awesome!! She is very helpful and 107 is SO easy if you just do the simple stuff they assign.
She is a great teacher who's class i never mind going to, even at 8:00 am. She walks in with a smile and is just awesome.
she's great and really enthusiastic when it comes to teaching us how to be teachers! She explains things clearly and really made the class informative and not boring. everything we did in there served a purpose. :)
That class was a total snooze. We spent three weeks talking about diversity (which seemed to be her favorite subject) and two weeks on professionalism. We only spent one week talking about the laws because she did not know much about it. Funny considering that is what keeps us out of trouble.
very excited, good teacher, easy, easy class
What an easy A!! Go to class (attendence counts) but then u can sleep through it and still get an A. Make sure to do all of the papers and turn them in on time.
All smiles! She wakes up most of the class at 8am and is really interested in making us good teachers. if you do the writes and follow directions well you'll get an a.
The class is sooooo easy, you just have to go and turn in your papers, make sure you have the right number of lines for it!
A very helpful teacher.
This class is a breeze. Mrs. Bailey is very passionate and is a fine teacher. YOU WANT THIS CLASS WITH HER!
I loved this class. It helps if you're not sure if you want to teach or not. She's very enthusiastic, especially having the class at 8am. The work is easy, yet thought provoking. Take this class, you won't regret it!!
Norma loves what she does and it really shows. She is extremely helpful. I can't say enough; I love this class and Norma!
Easy, easy, easy. Couldn't have been any easier. Half the class sleeps during the lectures. GPA booster.
Yes this is a very easy class. Norma is a very enthusiastic teacher and loves what she does. She makes it interesting. She is helpful and a kind person, if you are polite to her. If you ever walk in late and you have to go by her, just say "sorry." Lol, trust me on this one.
Awesome teacher!
If you have half a mind to do a tiny amount of work you will be fine and pass easily. She's helpful and willing to go the extra mile for anyone.
It is so easy a monkey could get an A, and some do. What a waste of my tuition dollars. If everybody gets an A, why bother having the class? I think Mrs. Bailey should think about actually challenging her students. I am here to actually learn something, not be given a grade.
Very easy and she keeps you awake in the early morning.
I think I can speak for my entire class..WE love Norma! She is great...it is awesome to see a prof so enthusiastic about teaching and about life! IF you get the chance take a class with Norma...She is a great burst of energy...makes you want to work harder for yourself and not b/c of a grade
this was a very easy class, and the teacher was good. She was corny at times, and sometimes I felt that she treated the class like kids, but overall she was a very good teacher.
to rate and repsond to jackass who said they are here to learn..no**** buddy. Thats why we're all here. Read the text, just b/c u weren't challenged means squat. Plus, some dig a blow-off. Less stress, quit livin off dad's dollar and do something. Anyway, Norma is a kinda woman always willing to help.
Too easy! Not worth taking. No challenges. Blow off class. Blow off prof. Needs more rigor.
Norma is very helpful and understanding. She is a great teacher.
SO knowledgeable about middle school concept. Always cheerful & makes class fun, even though we're there for 3 hrs. Her projects & papers are all designed to challenge you to THINK about the world & learn from it. I've learned more from 1 semester w/ her than from all of teacher education. You shouldn't think twice about taking a class w/ her.
Very helpful in concepts and middle school ideals. Work and class time is benefical towards taking the mionor cert. test
Norma is one of those professors that makes an effort to know you as well as help you out. Not many profs like her. I wish more would emulate her.
Your brain will be picked by this professor, but you will grow a great deal because of it. Definitley one of, if not the, best professor on campus.
Absolutely amazing. Keep up the wonderful work, Norma. I hope to do exactly what you do some day.
Norma is by far the best professor I have ever had. The class is designed easy so that you can learn and reflect the most that you can. She will help you in any way and understands when things go wrong. She is the most inspirational person I have met at CMU. If you have a chance to take this class, you should! I promise you wont regret it at all.
Norma is by far the best professor at Central. She definitly deserved professor of the year! She is very very passionate about what she teaches. She also will answer any questions you have, even if it has nothing to do with your class. I go to her with all my questions
Most amazing prof at CMU. If you are going into education she will make you consider a minor in Middle Level. Very enthusiastic. Loves her job and students.
Norma is by far the best professor at Central. If you're interested in Middle Level education, go talk to her. She has such a ridiculous amount of knowledge on adolescents and wants to make you the best teacher possible. Also, if you want a classroom full of close friends, sign an MLE minor.
Norma is one of the nicest, most intelligent people that you will ever meet. Excellent teacher.
Great professor and great course!
Norma was my professor almost 10 years ago and I still remember how much she inspired me to be a middle school teacher. She is such an incredible and fascinating woman and teacher.
Great teacher! Take her class if you think you want to be a teacher! It will make you truly choose!
Norma has got to be one of the best professors at CMU. She is so much fun and so enthusiastic about education and young adolescents. I loved going to her class. She doesn't believe in strict grades, deadlines or exams. She makes her classes fun but you learn a LOT at the same time. I can't wait to have more classes with her.
Absolutely amazing professor. She's so kind, listens to her students and is so understanding. As long as you go to class and do the work, you'll easily get an A. She just wants you to try and is not worried if you miss a couple classes or are late turning in a couple assignments. So passionate about education.
The best professor I've ever had at CMU... a testament to what teachers and human beings should be! Kind, compassionate, fair... grounded in belief. My future students will be better off because I learned from her. My peers and I are so thankful for her. Cheers to Norma!
Norma is amazing. One of the best professors at Central. I can't think of one bad thing to say about her. She really cares about her students, their learning, and her classes.
Norma is absolutely, hands down the best professor of any professors of all time. Class was challenging yet informative and very relevant. She cares enough about each student to learn their names the first day of class. I will always think of Norma Bailey as my top role model, only second best to my own mother :)
Norma inspires us all to be better PEOPLE, not just teachers. She is the ultimate role model.
Norma is a great professor! She understands her students and takes the time to get to know you. The work is very easy and spaced out. She definately tells you what you need to know to be a teacher!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! She really exposes you to the beginnings of teaching. Amazing. Wonderful. Angel sent from heaven.
Norma is an amazing professor. She cares about all of her students and her main goal is to teach you what it means to be a teacher. The homework is easy and she is very understanding if you forget an assignment or something. If you can, take her class! I cant say enough good about her.
Norma is the best professor out there. She is patient, understanding, kind, considerate, and great at her job. She has a passion for teaching that is contagious. She makes you want to run out of her classroom and go teach a class right away. Truly inspirational. Take her if you can!
Norma is my spirit animal.
