I love professor Bowe, she was the best teacher I had at Kean. Also her class was one of the most interesting classes that I had taken at college. She is a fair and exciting teacher with a huge heart. If i could I would take her class over again for fun.
Dr. Bowe is one of the best professors at Kean! I marked it easy, because she's so good, it makes the class easy! I would highly recommend Death in Perspective for everyone.
She is the best professor that I ever had. she willing to talk to you out side of the class. She will be your counsellor and a friend. she will always be a part of my memory.

She is a great teacher and a great person. She is undertstanding to students. I wish she taught every class I have to take. I really learn a lot from her.
I had professor bowe for community mental health as well as death in perspective. She is the true definition of a great teacher!!
OMG! Norma Bowe is the most awesome professor @ kean and the best i have ever had in my life. she's one of those you never forget and hope to tell you children about! I really wish other prof. would learn form her. I really look up to her as a prof. and a person:)

Prof. Bowe is the best professor at Kean! Class is so interesting and always fun! You learn so much, especially from her personal stories. Everyone should take her as a professor. She's an amazing teacher, friend, and someone you can come to for anything and everything. Love her!
One of the best professors at Kean University....strongly recommend taking her....very interesting and helpful...tou will be amazed by what you learn in her class.
dr. Bowe taught me how to value MY life and how important i'm for those around me. she's one of those people u want around for the rest of your life. she is funny, caring, smart, fair, helpful and a beautiful person inside and out. take her class to see how wonderful "dr. dark" is. i love her
She is a wonderful teacher. She helped me out a lot with the death of my grandma, and she is very caring. Plus the personal stories she tells during class are extremely interesting! I think that she is a very special person. Take her classes if u ever get a chance...she's wonderful!
She is a GREAT teacher! Health can be such a boring class, but deffinitely not with her! The only thing i don't like is how she promises to show us some videos or slides and then never mentions it again; SO DISAPPOINTING! lol BUT I LOVE HER! DEFF. TAKE HER IF YOU GET THE CHANCE! VERY INTERESTING
She is the best teacher. I think one of the many few teachers that actually cares about her students. She is helpful in any way she can be, even outside the classroom.If you have a problem shes always willing to sit down and talk to you. I love her to death.She the best teacher!
She is the best teacher that i had at kean. She is a better counselour than any shrink I have ever seen.Very supportive of any prob you have. Very concerned about her students well being. She is just a genuinlely sweet lady. I luv her. Take her if u get the chance.!!!
I took her classes over 7 years ago. If she taught anything in the graduate level, I'd take her again. Her classes helped me trace my family tree (health) and cope with loss.
Great Prof!I loved her.I recommened her for any classes that she teaches in kean university.You will definetly learn more than you think.She is also very helpful.Tests are basically from her homework.You have to show up in class & be regular in submitting your papers.There would be 2 exams.Both easy
Great teacher.. she gives a lot of work but its all easy and she keeps you interested. The mid-term and final come directly from the homework she gives.
Fantastic professor, very interesting class. I'm just sorry I took it over the summer for only the 6 weeks. Everything everyone else wrote about Prof./class is absolutely true! It's quite an interesting ride!
THE BEST TEACHER.......I LEARNED SOOO MUCH! SHE IS SOO EDUCATED! SHE SHOUKD HAVE HER OWN LIKE TALK SHOW! DR. BOWE ROCKS!
AWESOME CLASS - take home exams !!!!
SHes and awesome teacher and i wouldnt mind having her again
Not only is Prof. Bowe an amazing teacher, but she is one of the nicest people u will ever meet. She is my guardian angel & has helped me through the hardest times of my life. Its teachers like her that change your life forever.
She is awesome. Norma Bowe will be your professor and your friend at the same time. She is outstanding and her classes keep you coming back for more. I plan to take all the classes she teaches.
best professer i ever had makes class fun and keeps u awake likes to show very crude pictures that made me want to puke but other than that i would take another one of her classes any time
She's one of the best...
Good Prof, but at times scattered. Would promise us movies or videos and not have them the next class. Helpful but sometimes got too personal. Class is easy if you go, don't catch her in a bad mood.
TAKE HER!!! Best ever, gives homework & takes attendance & if you study for her tests you will be fine. Knows her information VERY WELL! kind, caring, and dont hestitate to ask for help. Her 3 hour classes go by rather fast. Take her for anything that she teaches it will DEFINITLY be worth it!!
Certanly has all characteristics of a good college Professor. She focuses on teaching and giveing students the knoweldge they need. Very friendly but firm, very understanding. Makes it easier for learning and passing.
Dr. Bowe knew her material but went off on tangents in most classes. She missed a few classes and then crammed the work in. I heard she was easy, maybe for other classes; not this one.
I felt she was too interested in everyone's personal business. I understand you were going to share in this class, but I felt she pushed some people too hard to talk.
Could have been a better class. Not what I expected. Too much work
Communiy Mental Health! What a woman! This is by far the best teacher you will ever see at Kean. Take her class!! She gives you a lot of work but its all do-able! But if you are looking for an Ez A it wont be here, she makes you work for your grade but you get so much out of the class you dont even think about the work! She is amazing!!!!
Class was ok. I really thought I was going to have more fun. Everyone talks about how great she is, not in this class.
I have taken her for two other classes (health and death and perspective) Ill just say that her other classes were a lot easier! The assignments that she gives us are not really hard, but she does not do a lot of explaining, so you have to google everything. but overall, I like her.
I took her class 2 years ago and still have found memories from it,as a current Rutgers Grad student! SHE IS THE BEST. Take her class and you will:laugh, cry, but, most of all LEARN AND NEVER FORGET THE EXPERIENCE! Thank you Dr.Bowe-you are the best!!!!!!!
Great women....knows EVERYTHING...class is sooo easy exam are your homework questions...sooo easy never stay the full class if its the 3 hour class... just a really nice caring women would highly recommend her
She's an amazing professor. You will learn alot from her. Very caring lady. If you email her you will get a respond a few hours later. If you get the opportunity to take the class do so. I loved that class never missed a class of her's before.
I cant say enough of good things about this teacher.. She is a great person.. and cares soo much about her students.. she opened my eyes to many things.. especially my life.. If you have the chance, TAKE HER! its soo interesting, I look foward to going to her class each week!
Please try to take the class Death in Perspective...you get to watch an autopsy...pretty amazing! Dr. Bowe is a really genuine person...very likeable.
This teacher is an amazing women!!! I don't have words to explain this teacher... You learn so much with her!! I have taken two class and going on the third class with her... love her
This is my second class with DR. Bowe. I absolutely love her and am going to miss her when I graduate. She is an amazing woman, who cares deeply about her students. She is also funny and entertaining, and very passionate about what she teaches. I have never met anyone like her!
The greatest professor ever.
This woman is the gem of Kean Univ. If you can get into Death in Perspective... then get in!! Its the best class and shes the best professor.. ever. She cares about her students so much that if you don't leave her class with a new friend, you've done something wrong!!!
Different learning experience. Every class is a therapy session, everyone participates and talks about their problems, not a lecture class at all, 99% group therapies in class everyone talks kinda feels like everyones on the spot , but shes nice
THE BEST TEACHER EVER PERIOD
Dr. Bowe is AMAZING! She is such a breath of fresh air! Prison trips were the BEST! She genuinely cares about her students. She also has a short fuse for stupidity and nievity, but 95% of our class did as well. I didn't want to leave class on the last day.. I love Dr. Bowe!
Great professor, funny as hell, class is easy and she is very helpful. Easy A!!!!
WOW! every teacher should try to be like professor bowe, not only do you learn from her, but your inspired. She teaches you life long lessons in a fun enviroment.My boyfriend and i were in the same class, and she made us sword fight to help our communication with eachother.Shes the best! Hw assignments, 10pg paper,take home mid-term, fun final.
If you haven't had the pleasure of taking Dr. Bowe then you should consider yourself unfortunate. She is the best professor at Kean and is incredibly knowledgable about every subject she teachs. Truly cares about her students and has a passion for teaching. Don't get me wrong, you need to work for that A but it's well worth it in the end. TAKE HER!
VERY NICE LADY. WILL EXTEND DEADLINES IF YOU NEED ONE. GREAT CONVERSATIONS IN THE CLASS AS WELL AS AWESOME GUEST SPEAKERS. NOT TOO MUCH WORK JUST SOME WORKBOOK PAGES AND READ A BOOK AND A PROJECT. HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!!
One of the greatest teachers i have ever had. She is always willing to help out with anything, life problems and school problems. Just go to class and have an open mind and this class will go so fast you wont even notice. Her test are straight to the point.. I strongly recommend her. BEST TEACHER EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is AWESOME
I have been at Kean for longer than I would like to admit, and Dr. Bowe and Death in Perspective has been BY FAR the best class that I have ever taken. I could say a million things about why you should take her. If you have the chance, absolutely take Dr. Bowe!
She is in the top three professors in this University... She will open your mind outside of the box to places you've never been with trips to Psych Hospitals && Northern State Prison. I genuinely love her && I wish she taught more courses in my field... Take her any chance you get <3
The individual below me, truly, didn't appreciate the class for what it is. Possibly was too close-minded... Other wise, amazing instructor, and truly a gem of Kean University! Take as many classes as you possibly can with her!
You will never have a professor as great as Dr Bowe
This is the best teacher I have ever had. She cares about every student and knows her stuff. The trips were grade. She gives an assignment every class but there were the most useful assignments I have ever done. If you are lucky enough to take her, do it. She's the best.
Best teacher ever!!! Love DR. BOWE
The best teacher, make the subject very interesting, take her classes you will love them. BEST TEACHER, open your eyes to many things. I am taking her in the Fall semester. More professor should make the subject matter interesting like Dr. Bowe.
Dr. Bowe is an AMAZING professor. I had her for Death in Perspective. I loved that class. Dr. Bowe sets up field trips to a funeral home, cemetery, northern state prison, hospice center, and medical examiners office. She uses these to teach and every class I learned something. I am now majoring in funeral service because of how much I loved it.
Dr. Bowe is such an inspirational and caring person who has changed the lives of numerous people. Taking both of her courses community mental health and death in perspective has opened my ideals and perspectives on life, along with everything we take for granted. She does things out of the kindness of her heart and she's changed my life. Thanks!
Dr. Bowe is the most amazing professor I've ever had. She cares about each and every one of her students, genuinely. Her classes are all extremely interesting and her field trips are great. Take her - you won't regret it! Death in Perspective is some work, but trust me, it's worth it. BEST TEACHER EVER :)
Dr Bowe is a wonderful woman. She truly cares for her students and the students of Kean University. She will help you outside of the classroom to the best she can. She is just wonderful. Don't take her just for a class, but for a friendship with an amazing person.
Dr. Bowe, is a blessing. You are unfortunate if you don't take her class. She is a warm hearted, caring individual and will do anything to help you. She is an AMAZING woman and to be able to be a student in her class, you should consider yourself blessed. I learned more about myself in her class then ever before. She's just an amazing person.
I just had her & I really didn't know what to expect, but I have learned so much & my mind has truly opened. Even though this class is far from my major or interest, it was such an incredible experience. Dr Bowe is passionate & motivating in her teachings. Her kindness really glows & I found her to be more than just a professor: SHE IS A MENTOR.
What a wonderful woman, each professor needs to take her class to understand learning can and should be inspirational as well as informative. Truly genuine woman who has improved many students lives. Best professor to date by far.
She is NOT your typical professor. She is AMAZING in every way. Very informative about her lecture topics and she loves hands on experience instead of lecture, notes and tests. (trips are part of the class) but they are so worth it.
This woman is absolutely amazing. Out of all four years that I have attended Kean University, she has been one of my favorites. She's so inspirational and genuinely cares about all of her students! On top of that, she is so smart and inspirational and teaches the material in a way that you will be interested in learning it, and remember it.
I'v never written a rating for any other professor before, but Dr. Bowe is literally the bomb DOT COM. I love Dr. Bowe and everyone should take her class. I learned a lot in her Death in Perspective class, not only about life but about myself. Thank You.
Dr. Bowe is truly amazing. You HAVE to take her class to understand. She is so genuine and has such a great heart. You will definitely learn a lot in her class, not only about the subject but about yourself as well.
This is a therapeutic class and allows fellow students to express information with no worry about being judged. The subject is intense but amazing, and you walk away with a new look on life, death and yourself. Bring your tissues and open mind...
This woman is a real gem. Take her classes. I took her during the summer of my senior year and I wish I had known about her sooner. She is inspiring and loves her job(s) and students. Her classes are about important topics and make you a well rounded individual. The work load was small and I learned SO MUCH. Have any free electives? TAKE HER CLASS.
If you haven't taken this woman yet, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE?!?! TAKE HER, you will NOT regret it! Learned so much from her. The book is only for the open-book midterm and final. Best class I have ever taken out of all my years at Kean University. Dr. Bowe, you changed my life and I will forever be grateful!
She is a hidden gem
By far one of the best classes I've ever taken. Dr. Bowe awakened something in me. I have such an itch for social work now and have never been more compassionate when it comes to the homeless. She changed the way I saw mental illness and really opened your eyes to how it impacts communities. Can't wait to take her again!
Great Professor, I have to be honest she has been the best professor I have had a Kean by far. She is very intelligent her class is one of the most interesting classes I have taken thus far and she respects her students. I would 100% recommend her
Professor Bowe is incredible! She had a big heart and it shines right through her lectures and in class activities. You would have to try hard to fail her class. At the end of this class, you will be new and improved version of yourself.
I took Dr. Bowe for the first time for mental health and allow me to advise you that it was amazing. Dr. Bowe is a great professor and opens your mind up to a world that we are reluctant to speak upon or rather ignore. The dialogue that occurs in her classroom is amazing. Actually, a college course that you leave with knowledge and apply to life.
Dr. Bowe is not only an amazing professor she is also and amazing all around person. She is so kind hearted and will literally do anything for anyone even if she just met you or better yet even if she does not know you. I took two of her classes now and wish there was more for me to take with her. She is truly the best professor I have ever had.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! She makes the subject material easy to understand and interesting. She is caring and created a safe space even with COVID-19 and being on a computer. Fun assignments and her class is one fun lecture! 10/10 she has changed my life. Taking her again for another course. Death in Perspective is an awesome course, good material.
Dr. Bowe is an amazing caring professor to have. blessing to have during covid 19 pandemic. drug /abuse class was great great guess speakers very few assignments easy grader, mid term and final was open book. I am taking her more classes next semester .
Dr Norma bowe made community mental health class a great experience during the pandemic. caring loving person who care about students success. she makes you think differently about the menially ill
Dr. Bowe is by far the greatest, she really does care about her students and the things she teaches, she does so much for the community with the homeless and poverty, she really does make you think about the different types of mental illnesses and relates that to her background as a nurse 100000% recommend this course to everyone.
Mid semester review of this professor: She makes you share personal stories with the class. I advise you not to mention anything to her unless you are ready to share your story. Her class is so far, a therapy session. Get ready to listen to voices for two classes. Get ready to feel guilty about how privileged you are.
Class is mainly just discussions, its like a therapy session. If she picks on you, you have to share and you cant get out of it.
Dr. Bowe is a very smart and informative professor. You will get extra credit if you share your personal stories and if she can use you as an example for trauma reasons. Dr. Bowe's class might be the reason you need to start therapy. She needs to be a professor and not a therapist.
Wonderful professor, fun trips and the lectures are very interesting. Very caring and some to talk to you if need. Best teacher I've had so far. Be ready to cry if you're sentimental though (but in a good way trust me). Get on the waitlist early if you really want or need to take the class! 10/10
Dr. Bowe is such a fantastic character. She is caring and understanding regardless of who you are and your background. She treats every human being as equals and exhibits lots and lots of love. We had very educational field trips to the cemetery, funeral home, and senior home. Tests are take-home and she gives a lot of extra credit. 10/10
Best Professor ever. Cass was different and engaging every time. You take real-world field trips and she does her best to make death as interesting as possible. Sweetest and most caring person ever. You must take her at some point before graduating.
Prof. Bowe's class is engaging, thought-provoking, and eye-opening. She challenges you to think deeply about mental health and social issues. Utilize resources like unstuck study alongside the textbook for a seamless learning experience.
Dr. Bowe is amazing and truly caring. I enjoyed DIP class, but it wasn't what I expected. If you're sensitive about the topic or don't like opening up (you will be forced to), I don't recommend it. I didn't learn much or feel better about death. Many awkward silences followed trauma sharing, which felt uncomfortable.
I loveeeeee Dr. Bowe!! She is amazing and so super caring. Love the group work and field trips she really wants to see all her students succeed.
