She cares and helps even when you are clueless (like me). You can't slack, but she's understanding.
She is very enthusiastic and works hard to get everyone interested!
AWESOME!
Just a great teacher
Total hottie and a great teacher. I wouldn't mind doing extra credit for her.
TOTALLY AWESOME!!! LOVED her class!! she made it fun and interesting and talked about stuff we actually cared about! Extremely nice and def approachable. She made writing fun and easy! DEF take her class!
i love roseanne!! Take her class, she loves what she teaches and it shows and rubs off!!
She's a great teacher, she is helpful both in class and out of class, wants you to get a better perspective on the world and seeing different view points. She's young and relates well to the students.
Rosanne is the greatest english teacher. She comes in with a HUGE smile and a WELL of energy. She brings life to the class, and everyone can feel it. She was the one who got me interested in and loving school again. Thanks Rosanne!!!
Roseanne is a great teacher! I hate writting papers and i hate english. She made it fun in a way and took me every step of the way. If you do the work and don't slack you will get an A with no problem. She is there to help you. She is funny and she loves what she teaches. Take her !
Shes not hard--its just a lot of work--not hard work--but a lot of work--shes a pretty easy grader as long as its your own work--shes nice--enthusiastic--interesting--not very organized but thats the fun--if you like reading and writing papers--take her, if not--take an easy professor.

AWESOME!!!!
Roseanne is the BEST! She makes this class so easy and actually interesting. I would definately take her again!
A great professor if you actually want to learn to be both accurate and creative in your writing, she defenitly grades based more on the student's personal improvement than on the technicality. She knows how to get everyone involved and is very helpful and attentive to student's needs. One of the best !
OK first off, she's hot! Now to the other important stuff. All you have to do is write 3 essays at least 2 pages long. The course is set up so after each essay is written, you edit it and print out a final copy that goes into a portfolio folder that gets turned in at the end of the semester. You also need to write up 14 journal entries. Easy A!
ROSEANNE IS A VERY HELPFUL TEACHER. SHE MADE THIS MONDAY MORNING CLASS FUN AND EXCITING WITH HER ENERGY. I HATE ENGLISH, BUT I PASSED BOTH 121 WITH R. GAINES AN "A" AND ROSEANNE WITH AN "A". SHE WORKS WITH YOU AND HELPS YOU TO GET AN "A" ON YOUR PAPERS. THERE ARE 2 PAPERS FOR THE SEMSTER 1 (5-7 PAGES) AND 1 (8-10 PAGES).
One of the best teachers I have ever had. I actually loved to learn in her class. She's one of the very few teachers whose class I don't mind getting up so early for. Highly recommended.
great teacher
Take Her if there is a spot open. Easy A..but you still get something from the class. She realy relates to her students..

Roseanne Alvarez is the best teacher to have for English 122
She's an awesome teacher
One of the first teacher's who made me think at 8:30 in the morning. She's the best I've had! Thanks, Rosanne!
totally awesome makes amer. lit really really fun. it was the only class i looked forward to all week!
BEST TEACHER EVER. I SWEAR TO GOD. SHES HILARIOUS AND AWESOME. SOOO COOL. SHES A KID!! I LOVE HER. DEF. ONE OF MY FAVS.
I love roseanne! Her class is a blast, you learn so much without even realizing it. I highly recommend taking her class.
definitely a very fun teacher..
ROSEANNE is awesome. Her classes are so much fun you don't realize how much you are actually learning. She is very helpful, and relates to her students any way she can. She even has a Myspace...totally hip teacher..definitely take one of her classes!
for someone who didn't want anything to do with the class, it was pretty interesting. the first day of class i thought she was on speed, but that's just Rosanne. Great professor, very enthusiastic about the subject matter.
Absolutely fantastic teacher!
shes awesome!! : - )
she is the "snarkiest" prof ever. u will be missing something if you dont take her class, she is great!!! although i dont think she is teaching amer lit anymore, sticking w/world and engl 121, 122
Roseanne is lots of fun and NEVER runs out of energy, like the energizer battery!!! You will learn so much in her class and have a good time doing it. She never fails to bring humor to the classroom. She will make you laugh!! She also uses every means necessary to teach each student. Overall, she's a very caring, awesome woman.
She's the greatest! I took her class after returning to school after a 17 year break and now I am going to be going full time at GCU. She got me motivated, thinking and moving. She is an amazing example of what a teaching is all about. : )
I've taken Roseanne for Amer Lit, World Lit, and Engl 122, she is an awesome professor. She's got such spirit, and an enthusiastic vibe you can't help but be interested in the things she professes. I love her to death, definitely take one or all of her classes, it will be an experience that will change your life!
SHES THE BEST TEACHER!!! I DEFINATELY RECOMMEND HER TO EVERYONE. SHES TOTALLY AWESOME AND LAID BACK.
AMAZING! she's loves what she does, and she does it well. I HATED english until i met this women...MOST AMAZING AMAZING PROFESSOR EVERRRRRR....EVERYONE should take her class!
Never in my life have I ever come across a teacher who actually cared more about what she does than Professor Alvarez. Taking World Lit. 2 with her is more than reading books and writing papers. She'll open your eyes to so many new ideas, many of which you simply won't get in other community college classrooms. ANYONE will benefit from this class.
2 paper for the class...1st one 5-7 pages.....2nd paper 8-10...good professor
She changed my life by just being in it. Thank you Roseanne for making your class such an awesome experience!!! There should be more educators like you in the world...
Awsome teacher! she is completely into everything she teaches and is excited to teach students her passions, shes totally helpful eand even if you are not the best writer in the world she understands that and is not a harsh grader at all. She makes the class fun and intresting even at 8:00 in the morning. I would recomend her to everyone!
Very helpful when it comes to writing papers. Understands we students aren't novel writers. A genuine teacher who is here to help students.
She is a great teacher had her for both Eng 121 and 122. She is very enthusiastic about her work. She loves helping her students and is a tremendous help on papers. Not a good class to procrastinate in for your own sake. Oh yea...I love the way she dresses too!!!
Most amazing teacher at BCC. Who cares about Early Amer. Lit.? you will when you take her class. No tests, but papers and there easy, mid-term and final, all cake! She's really cool and she knows like we have lives outside of BCC! Would recommend her and take her again. Don't take if you don't like reading!!
Rosanne is a great teacher.She's very into her students and her teachings. Her individual judgement is very fair. I would recommend taking her classes.
Honestly, shes a cool lady and stuff but as an English professor...not so much. TONS of work! She says that she knows English isnt your only course than assigns work as if it were. Doesnt really explain things well. Great person...not such a great professor.
Makes you want to do the work, and I can't say that about many teachers. I always wanted the easy out: copy/paste bs topics, the way I expected things to be bc of past experience/teachers. She didn't let me have the easy way out. Roseanne encouraged me to pay attn to what I wrote, and how I was learning, and I have NEVER experienced that. Amazing.

Roseanne's cute, I'd hang out with her and she's a smart chick. She's a good teacher if you do the work and as long as your not inept at completely simple tasks you'll get an A
I have got to say that Professor Alveraz is really cute. Overall, she is a well respectable professor who actually trys and keep you in-tune with the subject matter being taught. She lets you be true to yourself and lets you open your mind to new meanings upon life. Great teacher to take if you want to learn something new and exciting.
Roseanne is awesome and a little crazy! She is probably the most interesting and fun professor I have taken. She has a lot of work but its pretty easy and her classes are fun. I would definitely recommend taking her if you need this class!!!
Issues in women's studies is a great course! Roseanne is very intelligent and she makes you think "outside the box." If you read the readings and go to class, you will get a good grade. I will never forget what I learned in this course. Thanks Roseanne!
PHENOMENAL! Mrs. Alvarez was a wonderful, exciting, caring and down to earth professor who really opened my eyes to the world. I cannot thank you enough and I hope many students take your HUMN-129 "Gender" studies class, it was amazing and a great experience!
Professor Alvarez was a great teacher to have for this research English class. She had many different ways of helping students and I learned a lot about how to find good information and put together a research paper. I would recommend her to a friend.
Excellent! Professor Alvarez is a great Professor and I would recommend this class to everyone. Before taking this class I had no interest in Women's Studies but she makes you see how women's issues globally are affecting everyone.
AMAZING Professor!! I loved going to her class every week. It is so entertaining and you will enjoy every min of talking with your classmates.The readings are so interesting you cant help but want to read them&watch the videos.If you love learning about sex, sexuality, and all types of gender This is the class for you.Men and Women should take it!!
AMAZING TEACHER! take her if you can! she makes the class fun and very discussion based
Took this class online. It was very easy and the material was interesting. Bought the textbook before the class started, but we didn't need it (she provided links to everything). There was no personal communication with her but I am sure if you e-mail her she will reply. No tests!
Definitely makes class fun and is a great class even if you are quiet, you will end up talking to everyone around you. Discussion is a must and if you want her to like you and get to know you, share your thoughts!! She doesn't put anyones thoughts down. We read about 8 novels and they all inspired me. READ THEM don't slack and don't be a cheater
(Online Class) Prof. Alvarez is such a sweetheart! She gave us all the material to do excellent work and was SO understanding about the hurricane and us not having power. One writing assignment per week (paragraph) and a total of 6-7 papers (2 to 3 pages) Really great class! Probably will get a 100% on everything if you hand it in on time.
I highly recommend Prof. Alvarez. She is extremely knowledgeable and her online courses are very fun. Every week or two you work on new material and the way you learn is not though the textbook. You mainly read online readings and watch short clips after you post to the discussion board and write your journal like a review on the module. I loved it
She is brilliant. You will learn a lot, while actually being interested.
Prof Alvarez knows her stuff! Her class was so much fun to take and its all thanks to her being so wonderful. I took the class online, and would definitely recommend her, the course was easy to follow. There is a lot of long readings however you can get through them and they are interesting.
LOVE THIS CLASS AND HER. She is beyond amazing. Her lectures are so amazing. You go into this class of r a credit and leave so knowledgable
her lectures are hands on and personal. she makes you think about issues you never knew existed and then you have to write 2-3 pages about how you view the topic. grading is an easy A. after each section you have to explain what grade you should and why and she takes the grade you gave yourself and her grade for you and averages it together.
I loved Roseanne! Not only is she a sweetheart, but she is also an amazing teacher and person. Her class is discussion and writing based, but it forces you to really reflect on issues you may not be aware of. Hand the writing in on time and read the passages assigned and you'll get an A.
Professor Alvarez was a pleasure to have as a teacher. Assignments were clear and concise. Not confusing at all. Probably the best teacher so far at Brookdale.
She's pretty cool! Took her class two semesters ago and she is still my favorite!
Roseanne is one of the best professors I've had at brookdale. She makes her lectures interactive, interesting, and fun. She is very passionate about what she teaches. She cares a lot about her students and always ends class early. No tests, only small three page papers and self examinations. I 10 out of 10 recommend her and would take her again
She is, by far, one of the best professors at Brookdale. Very passionate, always available, extremely helpful. I took the Women's Studies course, and I can tell you that it actually has changed me. It's extremely refreshing to step out of the robotic limbo of your typical GE courses. If you want to actually LEARN SOMETHING, she is the one to do it!
Great professor, all about the business at hand, knows her stuff
Professor Alvarez was awesome. This was an online class. Instructions were crystal clear, dates were posted far in advance. She was fair about everything and gave plenty of time for revisions. Expectations for all assignments were clearly outlined. Fantastic professor!
Prof Alvarez was basically entirely inaccessible to students. Or, at least, to me. She went over a month without grading any of the work that I submitted so I had no idea how I was doing in the class. I had to email her to ask for my grades. She also left several emails unanswered throughout the course. Terrible and unresponsive!
I took this class online. The class can be a bit challenging especially online but if you take the time to do the work you will be ok. She was great with answering e-mails, grading, and leaving e-mails. I also took her Humanities, 129 class, online as well. If you do the work correctly, and on time there is no reason why you shouldn't pass.
She is a great professor. You will probably be out of the class before time is up. Class is fun, and entertaining.
Professor Alvarez is an incredible professor! This class was extremely interesting, it opened my eyes to so many new concepts that women in our society face. It was by far one of my favorite classes that I have taken at Brookdale thus far. If you have the opportunity to take this class, please do so!!
I had Professor Alvarez for Comp Writing and Women's Studies. She is a great Professor. I looked forward going to every class. She is very chill .
Roseanne is absolutely wonderful. She is very easygoing and lays out the whole semester so students know exactly what to do and when. Conversations are fairly informal, so participation, which is part of the grade, is easy. One group project. Textbook and supplemental readings are engaging. Roseanne is also funny and will likely inspire/inform.
What a great professor! I took her 121 online, and it was set up so clearly. I would recommend her to anyone!
This professor never gave us any feedback on our papers. Never graded anything during the semester and still waiting for final grade. Because the semester is over I can't go back and see which papers got which grade, nor can I ever get feedback. Tried contacting the professor about getting feedback but she never replied back
Roseanne was by far one of the most amazing professors I have taken at Brookdale. I wasnt even interested in this class until I walked into her classroom. Shes open, funny, and passionate. Show up, do the readings, participate in class, and you will do great. Shes an amazing professor.
So much homework, and so much reading. She does not answer emails. The goal of this class is to have a feminist point of view so good luck if that is not your belief because you will be writing pages and pages on many topics regarding feminism, gender, sex, etc.
She makes you read and watch sooo many videos. The class is extremely time consuming so if you are planning to take several other classes, I would not take this in addition to your other classes because HUMN129 takes up a lot of time because you must read and watch a lot of material, but then you must write a lot about the content you learned.
If you're taking this class at Brookdale, you will have a 2hr 45min class, plus homework that takes about 3-4hours because of all the material she makes you read and videos she makes you watch. Readings are mostly like 20 pages and she has you read several readings. In addition she has 30min videos for you to watch.
Professor Roseanne really cares about her students. She makes the class as interesting, contemporary, and applicable as possible. Lots of required reading, but in turn, grading is self-evaluation. Do the readings, write thoughtful essays, and participate during discussions. You'll deserve and get the A.
Professor Alvarez is the sweetest. Shes an amazing professor!
Whenever i needed assistance and had questions she got back to me in a timely matter. I had a good experience overall
She never answers emails so don't even send one, she doesn't grade anything either. I am still waiting for her to put in grades from the first week of class. There is no real textbook for online class but she provides a text and it's a lot.
I took this class in the spring of 2016. Because of Prof Alvarez and this class, I was prepared for higher level course work elsewhere. The coursework was intimidating and difficult at the time, but the experience was invaluable. I wish she taught grad classes somewhere.
Prof Alvarez is so knowledgable and so cool, I want to be like her when I grow up! She gets so excited about her course materials so do her a favor and return that energy, she'll appreciate it. She's a true academic, so don't skip on your work. If she sees you're passionate about something related to class, you reap the benefits.
Professor Alvarez was amazing! At first, you get overwhelmed (Don't panic!). She challenged me as a writer, made me think outside the box, and I am a better student since I took her course. DO YOUR BEST, she doesn't put grades in at all. I didn't know any of my grades until the final grade was posted. However, she gives GREAT feedback. Take her!!!!
Not enough feedback. I didn't know if my work was good or not. She didn't give me any direction so until i got the final grade i had no idea if i passed the class. Hand in work on time and participate.
Professor Alvarez is absolutely amazing! She challenges you, expands your mind, and improves your work ethic 100%. There's a lot of writing/reading involved but the reward of the grades and feedback is so worth it! She's also very kind, compassionate, and really accommodating! I can't say enough positive things about her & the course - take her!!!
The best professor Ive ever had. Gives very specific instructions on all assignments so you can do well. Gives great feedback that pushes you to do better. I lived for her feedback because it is inspirational and kind. Uses prompts and assignments that allows you to focus on things you are interested in. Professor Alvarez is a model for all profs.
Hands down best professor I have ever had. I adore this woman--she is so passionate about the material and will inspire you to put your best work forward. You will never have another professor like Roseanne, her courses changed my life. Yeah the workload is heavy, but it doesn't matter. Her class is a true experience that goes beyond grades.10/10
Prof. Alvarez is sooooo incredibly amazing. She is passionate about everything she teaches and made the class so much fun. I will say lots of reading and writing assignments, so be prepared for that. But she is not a hard grader and will help you along.
PROFESSOR ALVAREZ IS GOATED!! Take her class you wont regret this woman changed my life with this class!! I want to retake WGS every semester for the rest of my life. Her class brings together like minded kind people who I am still friends with to this day. I love this woman she is the chillest human ever. If you half try on the work you'll be fine
Prof. Alvarez makes this class really engaging. Lots of reading and writing, but she's a fair grader and happy to help. I found unstuckstudy great for study prep - along with the textbook, it made acing this course a breeze.
