Professor Begay's class was truly the most convoluted and inefficient class I've ever taken. Nothing was every explained simply; video check-ins (covid) just to listen to each others' hw progress updates- never used for actual lectures. The week of our midterm she had a career advisor (??) give an hour long talk, instead of reviewing exam material.

Professor Begay is one of the Patient professors. She is very good answering e-mauls or text messages ever during weekend. She Gave us a second chance to raise up our grades for exams. She is ready to work with you during class or sometimes after class. I learned the material by myself but I learned other things from her. She's not perfect but good

(2)There is a lot of extra credit to improve your grade (do the amount you need). (3.) She is tech-savvy and organized. (4) She is invested in her students, and I appreciate that!

Dr. Begay's class is 4 the self-starter. If u are an independent learner, then she's ur prof. If you need reassurance (which is ok) & detailed check-ins, then reconsider. Labs, Hw, & Quizzes are 50% of your grade. Tests are the other 50%. If you do not test well- reconsider. She gives Xcredit, but u must score well 4 value-fair. Took mini session.

At first I thought this class was challenging due to its fast pace, with lots of workload, like frequent homework, quizzes, labs, and exams. However, what I really liked was that the instructor offered extra credit opportunities and allowed students to redo exams, a lab, and homeworks for partial credit to improve our grade.

Professor Begay has a great pace for the course and great materials. If you go through the lecture slides you will understand all of the content and pass the exams - there is also partial credit on exam.

Worst professor at BHCC. Classes are insanely stressful, she gives SO MUCH hw and quizzes. Does NOT explain lectures and when asked will tell you to “get a tutor.” Please avoid this class. I had to drop out for the sake of failing. 3 others in my class did same! All others said they are passing with C/D. Talks too much about unrelated topics.

Take my review with a grain of salt as I took the summer course which may not be reflective of a course during the regular semester.
