I thought this was going to be a long boring class but to my surprise, Prof. Alapo did an amazing job of keeping us engaged for every class. She made us feel comfortable enough to participate in a class full of strangers who we now created bonds with throughout the semester. Great class, props to my prof!
Good teacher , Go class and do all the work
Gives amazing lectures, very caring, and wants the students to pass her course with good grades
Great Professor
is an amazing individual, she never seizes to amaze me . In addition to being attentive to the class , she always helps students one on one . She provides outline for her projects and essays . Its very easy to pass but you must show up and give it your all . I would take her class all over !!
Such a reasonable and understanding person, no other like her. She's a great professor.
Dr. Alapo is a fun and caring professor. I was part of her Service Learning course, which was based on getting students of the class politically engaged, more outside of the classroom than anything. For someone who has trouble understanding political concepts, I appreciated her approach to teaching by having us go out there and learn firsthand.
i did enjoy taking this class although she was extremely unorganized and lost my work that i completed.
She is super understanding and knowledge. I really enjoyed her lectures because they were interactive and very easy to follow. I would definitely take her class again!
Professor Alapo is very caring person and teacher. Do yourself a favor and take her class.
Professor Remi is a gifted professor. If I could, I would take her class again. If you choose to take her class, you will not regret making that decision. Her lessons are engaging and interesting. Everytime I go to her class, I am always learning something new.
Really caring. She makes sure we get the best knowledge of lectures by having guest speakers, and watching videos.
She is a great professor she just tends to show a lot of videos in class in which you may get bored from other than that she has a good mindset and helps the class connect, work is not hard at all.
Made lectures interesting and brought in other speakers to teach the class about other cultures. We had a class in which we took part in learning meditation and that was very fun! I would take her again.
Excellent Professor, not a tough grader at all. Would definitely take her again.
Great teacher and is always willing to help.
Such an amazing, genuine, caring and intellectual professor! Always begins the class by asking us how was our week. This lady is very gifted and it shows through her teaching. She made the topic very understand me and made the class interacts in ways that allowed us to open up and expand in learning about other cultures. She is truest a blessing!
Shes a great teacher. She does everything on order time to times a bit to understand because of her accents but if you give her time youll understand.
Shes very understanding and wants the best for her students.
Overall great class
She is very flexible. She considers about us , listens to us, and respects us. Her lectures are always interesting. It is fun to join the conversation in her class.
What I enjoyed about this class is the class discussions we had. Having these class discussion it helps make stuff more clear and helps us understand more. Race and ethnicity and and sex and sexual orientation were the topics I enjoyed and had the most interest in. I also appreciate all the feed back and for answering your emails to help me .
alot of homework so get ready to read and write
profess Qluremi Alpo makes the class fun while learning, she is one of the best Pro at BMCC I came across. just read ahead before class begins. she's mad cool!!
Obviously, professor Alapo is one of the best professor. She uses class time effectively and efficiently. She is very knowledgeable in the content area. She always puts information across in a clear, understandable manner. She knows the material well enough to emphasize the most important aspects. Furthermore, she maintains contact with students
Professor is a caring and sweet. She wants you do the best that you can, but you'll have to work for it! Being that we are in pandemic mode, classes are now online ... I'm not going to lie it is a lot of work! ( to me at least with 5 more classes) towards the end of the class .. A paper (5-8 )and PPT with additional classwork must be completed.
Professor Alapo really cares about her students and their success, and it shows during this difficult time (quarantine). As long as you show her you are working hard and eager to learn, she can be open to flexibility. There is a lot of work, but it's never overwhelming. Participation in discussion is also a big factor in her grading.
she listens to us, she respects us, she is caring to her students. Especially when COVID-19 made students stay home, she would contact or make a zoom meeting to check up on you. Participation is a big deal in your grade. There is a lot of homework, but if you show that you are trying to catch up, she is open to a stretch on the assignments.
The work that was given was very straight forward she will provide many videos and examples during class making it easier for you to understand the homework that is given. If you don't seem to understand she's always available after class to chat. There are also many opportunities to receive extra credit. Do the work and you will pass.
All the work for the class is straightforward, you wont have to kill yourself looking for answers because the way the professior explains it is very clear. For her online class everything is uploaded and you can work on it once the week begins. She is also very caring- with the whole pandemic she gave us a week to catch up on work and submit work.
She is absolutely wonderful. She is the only professor who has personally reached out to see how I am doing and to see if I have any questions or concerns. She truly cares for her students to do well. She will really get you to think about different aspects of society. Quite interesting and fun class. You won't regret choosing her!
Professor Alapo is amazing! she always goes above and beyond for her students.
Professor Remi really cares about her students and really knows what she's talking about. She does great job linking our everyday experiences to sociology so you can talk about a topic you're interested in while still being relevant to class. Her accent is sometimes difficult to understand, but she is patient and makes sure you get it.
Accessible out of class, cares to help if you do not understand something. Amazing class wonderful teacher!!
Professor is caring and sweet , she wants the best for her students. Shell push you to do your best at all times! To pass her class all you need to do is pay attention and do all assigned works.
Really works with students
Prof. Oluremi is a true gem. She gives lots of good feedback and chances to make up for work that was missed or not completed. You have to read the textbook and completion of discussion boards are a must. However, taking her class is one of the best things I could of done. I learned so much from taking this course and I can now say history is fun.
Professor Alapo is a really great professor. Yes, a lot of reading is required for this course but it's not that difficult. She is very caring towards her students and very encouraging. She responds to back to emails quickly. She also gives her students time to make up previous work. I would definitely take her again!
Great class, work is well explained. Great communication with professor throughout entire course as well
Took this professor during the coronavirus pandemic. I think she did great job at staying connected- she always responds and there's multiple ways to contact her. We did have to a lot of readings but that's expected in a history class. Overall she's an understanding professor. Talk to her and she will try to work with you.
Professor Alapo was very helpful and understanding. She always notified us of opportunities for programs and activities. She was very accessible whether it was through email, during office hours, or a few minutes after class. Classwork was very easy and straightforward, if you needed help she was open to help as well.
Professor Alapo is a very easy going professor. She always presented us with academic opportunities available. The classwork was very straight forward and easy. It was all explained ahead of time so there wasn't any confusion. Unlike many other professors, she is easy to access, always ready to speak after class for a few minutes, and via email
She is very easy going professor. Just respond on the weekly discussion regularly and you will be fine. Very engaging class. Really enjoyed it.
Proffesor Alapo is great, she's super flexible with handing in work and also very understanding. I loved learning about the sociological perspective of functionalism and how a single part of society can affect a person or an entire community as a whole.
Professor Alapo was very helpful during the COVID situation. very understanding and is willing to help if you're willing to work.
Great teacher and I enjoyed sitting in class for lectures
very good class and i enjoyed the time we had she is very caring and always cares for the students and is very helpful and reachable. she does everything she can to make the test easier and gives us the work to help make test very easy. i recommend this class for any student taking soc 100
Prof. gives great feedback and also a lot of extra credits. For your final its a 12-15 paper but don't get scared its all from the discussion board responses so as. long as you do them the final should be easy.
Professor Alapo is a really nice professor. She cares about her students. The course was really heavy but she gives you chances to make up late work. Also, she gives tons of extra credit. She is very passionate about teaching and make class really interesting.
Excellent professor! I understood all of the topics. The assignments were easy and understandable. She gives great feedback, easy to contact, and allows multiple opportunities to get extra credit.
This professor gives extra credit opportunities and is very quick with feedback. Overall a great course and she values discussion replies.
Overall a great course and she values discussion replies. The class was manageable , she is a great professor who knows what she is doing. If you are looking for a challenge while learning this is the class to take.
There is lots of writing done in this class, but she sends videos to show how things are done, and holds office hrs. she also gives lots of extra credit which is helpful.
Overall great class. The assignments are straightforward and gives good feedback when needed. Fun class!!
Professor Alapo is a great professor. She taught the course material clear enough for the class to grasp.
Terrible Professor. The only reason why you see so many good reviews is because she offers extra credit for those that give good reviews. Too much work, discussion boards and papers every week. she expects you to do the discussion boards while your doing the papers that's do at least twice month. Oh and did i forget, SHES RUDE RUDE . Don' take her!
AWFUL PROFESSOR. SHE GIVES EXTRA CREDIT FOR WRITING GOOD REVIEWS AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER. IT STILL WONT HELP YOUR GRADE, DO NOT TAKE HER
Professor. Alapo is horrible. Lots of unclear assignments and regular postings on discussion board without a clear grading policy. Unorganized and comes off rude and aggressive. She will laugh at you with contempt and derision if you disagrees with her. Why all these positive feedbacks? Well the she provides incentives for positive feedbacks!
SHE IS HORRIBLE! I had to drop her class. When I email her for help she basically told me to buy the text book and figure it out myself. I emailed other students to see if they can help and we all got the same response from her. Her attitude comes off as ignorant and arrogant. Dont do it to yourself. Please dont do it to yourself.
I took this specific class for the joy I have of learning other people's culture and how they differ from my own. I learned multiple students in my class culture. I learned the norms vs taboos and etc. I recommend this class to someone who's interested in learning new things. I recommend this teacher because she's sweet and shes not a tough grader
I would recommend this professor because her class is pretty clear, mostly about our opinions, and lessons are useful to understand our reality better. Prepare to read and write a lot.
Professor Alapo curated this Intro to African Civilizations class with resources to read and watch, along with a couple guest lecturers that added to my enjoyment of the course. The discussion board is a weekly assignment that was simple enough + a few papers. She gives feedback to help you improve. She expects cameras on in Zoom; don't be shy!
It was a great pleasure taking Prof. Alapo's class my finally semester of college. I truly enjoyed the course work , I feel that I obtained a lot of knowledge about early African civilization in a very interesting way. I would most certainly retake and recommend those who are inquiring within.
I took this class as a requirement. I would take this class again. Prof Alapo is a knowledgeable professor. She is very respectful and good professor is one that treats each student as a person. I recommend taking her.
I took this class because it was mandatory but professor was so amazing that I wants to take her class more she takes care of her each and every student what an amazing human being I would definitely recommend to take her class.
This course was one of my favorite. The Professor was very nice am the class was even better. Its a great starter to know more about the many types of African Civilizations there is. I would suggest this course to anyone who is trying to know more about the African History an definitely this Professor as well!
First time taking an African history course an I loved it. Really got learn more about our African civilizations an history. Really a great experience an would recommend anyone to take this course!
I would really recommend this professor she has helped me learn many new things about African history and she makes sure that you understand the material. I really enjoyed this course.
She is an amazing professor and she is very understanding. If you don't understand something make sure you speak and she will happily clarify. Make sure you participate in class because she might ask you to find quick information about a topic.
She was very knowledgeable in the topics taught and fair with the grading
The class was great and relatively easy if you do your work! There is extra credit at end of semester and some essays and presentations because class is writing-intensive. Great overall experience and this class is one I'd recommend!
It was a class where we all participated and that way I was able to learn more about other cultures. Since the students in the class were all from different places so we had different ways of seeing things and different experiences which we shared throughout the semester.
Oluremi Alapo is one of the best professors at BMCC. I would recommend taking her for any class she teaches, she is that good. I never felt uncomfortable or stupid for asking a question that may have been obvious and she always took the time to make sure I understood.
This was an online WI (writing-intensive class) and I found myself just having an overall bad semester due to outside forces but Professor Alapo has given me and many other people multiple chances to complete her work, as well as complete extra credit.
Professor Alapo has passion in what she is teaching and wants you to learn not just listen to what is being taught. Her feedback on papers helped me notice that my writing needed some work and as someone who is in school for writing this was appreciated. She is great!
I like professor Alapo's a lot! She is quite patient with her students. I felt very included in her class because she let us decide on what kind of projects we want to work on. If you don't understand something she always gives further explanation. Alapo's always willing to work with her students, which makes her unique. An easy class to pass!!
Gives a hefty amount of work but gives you opportunity's to make it up.
Horrible! Lots of unclear assignments. It took more than one week for a e-mail response. She does give you extra credit if you write her a nice review on rate my Professor. Worst experience in my college career
She is not much a professor most of the class agreed on. It is the final week so we are discussing about the Final Essay. At first, she was recording, but she stopped when a student was asking her questions. She had the nerve to say these things once she stopped recording: "Don't lash out, because it' not professionally" and "Don't go to my boss.."
I would not want to take this course again. He'd extra credit be only 1, 1.5 or 2 points only. She wants papers. A final paper of 10-15 pages. A presentation with the same amount of pages and you have to give a 10 minute oral presentation with it. Make up oral Presentation is Dec 13, (at least ) even if you have another class than.
Thank you professor i learn much more about Africa outside of knowing about Egypt
Good teacher and her class is interesting
This is a self-taught class with minimal feedback.
She doesn't really grade much. Say you get this grade but gives you a lower grade. She wants you to do essays and slides worth 20 - 30 points but to her only 1 - 2.5 ponts and thats only "extra credit". The same can be said for assignments, she only gives 10 points for. For Finals ppt is worth more (12.5 points).

Any good reviews are "scam likely", for extra credit.
Gives extra credit points that doesn't help your grade. Your grade she tells you, you'll get grade B but gives you grade.... For missing.... Because she changed the date.
Wasted my time. She did not grade work until half way through. But that was only a few out of the many. She true to be slick. She records and then stop the recording to say her slick piece.
Thought about doing her "extra credit" but nah. She will only use my work for her next class. Thats what she did during this class. She used other students work instead of her own. The only professor I know so far that foes that. "Teach" without showing she's knowledgeavle in her field. The class was self taught.
Her grades suppose to match bmcc grading system but it doesn't. Missing 15 points, how is that grade B? I should have a higher score smh. I didn't do them extra credit, because thats what they are "extra credit". I should have gotten grade A. I'm not gonna waste any time "speaking to her".
Professor Alapo gives a lot of work to do, but it's college, so not much of a difference from most other courses. You do the discussion boards and respond to at least two other student posts. She does give extra credit though they are viewed little points compared to actual work. She also gives you time to turn in late/missing work; extended days.
laugh out loud I was able to teach myself through various research.
Never again! confusing grading criteria, lectures were extremely complex to understand and it took some time to receive an answer.
Great class. Would definitely take class with professor again
