She's pretty disorganized, and gets offtopic often. Being close to most of the students' ages is a point in her favor relating to the subject matter, but definetly against her when it comes to ability to control the class and moderate discussions.

She is not as great as everyone makes her out to be. She doent really use the book, so if you study for her tests from the hand outs & your notes (you better have a good arm because you will be writting till your hand is almost falling off)she changes everything completly. Tests are hard and she's not always helpull. I got a B+ but it was NOT easy

A great professor, truly the best health class I've ever had. Professor Bertha is intelligent, funny and a great teacher. It is easy to tell she has a lot of experience and always has a story for her lessons. Best professor I've had!

She's an excellent professor. We had some great discussions in class. Tests were very easy and we watched movies & answered questions, those counted as quizzes. The 5 page final paper wasn't too hard because she's an easy grader. TAKE HER IF YOU NEED TO TAKE A HEALTH COURSE. It's an easy A if you go to class and pay attention.

Professor was great! She was clear about class objectives and expectations. Made some of the more boring topics more interesting through conversation and videos. She's also comfortable with sexuality and gender topics which helps make things less tense for certain topics

Awesome AWESOME professor !! Only two tests and both tests have quiz questions on them so it's rather easy if you just pay attention, study your notes!!!!, and go to class. She seems tough in her ways with certain things, but she does everything for a reason and is the best professor I've ever had.

Simple class. Don't need the textbook. Go to class & do what she asks and take good notes. One 5-page paper, a few easy quizzes and a simple final exam. I'd take her if I was you

Out of all the professors I took in MCC, she was my favorite! I enjoy every bit of discussion and she loves to listen to her students opinion, sharing and stories. She always makes sure that she can help you in any way. She also responds quickly on email. All in all, I give her an A+. Take her subject and you won't regret it!

Absolutely amazing professor! I had this class once a week which initially made me very scared but she made this class so easy to understand. Shes extremely passionate. Definitely recommend not missing class because when shes giving notes, she gives extra notes onto whats going to be on exams and quizzes. Definitely hard to fail.

Shannon is an amazing professor! She is super relaxed, very open, easy to talk to, easy to contact outside of class, and definitely knows her subject. She leaves reading the book up to us- I would recommend just renting it in the library if it is available before tests. If you get the chance, take her class!!

she gives a lots of homework but they aren't difficult. be prepared to read and watch videos. assignments grade are more than 100 points, if you got something wrong or miss one your grade still can be in A. she does not accept anything late or via email. She sends the assignments ahead of time so you can manage your schedule to complete them.

Professor Bertha is well in tune with modern health issues. She is passionate, bold, courageous, and up-to-date. She uses media to help teach, and is straightforward with her directions. Very smooth class, and I wish I could have taken it in person instead of online. As long as you stay ahead of schedule, you'll pass. HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR ANY CLASS

Fairly easy class. Prepare to do ALOT of work. Took this course for Summer 1. I dont recommend anyone to take this class for Summer or Winter Semesters it was too much work given for a Summer Course. Assignments were scattered throughout the week, which made it hard to stay organized and the GUIDE assignments are absolutely ridiculous.

I took her class for summer 2. Because it is a summer course, yes of course it is a bit challenging because your assignments are due weekly. The assignments are videos and questions as well as PowerPoint. There are also assignments/ quizzes for the textbook. I recommend her class to anyone it is easy and she is a great professor.

Dr. Shannon is a great professor. If you are not lazy, she is the instructor you should take because her course is very informative. Your hard work will pay off in her class. She is very well organized, and she grades fairly. I would definitely recommend her to any student that is willing to work.

I just completed her accelerated human sexuality class and I have nothing bad to say about it! She was an amazing professor! She recorded herself speaking and it was on the powerpoint which made it easy to follow. She has a clear and organized modules section to follow and the workload was manageable. Very knowledgeable and would take her again!

She's a very strict professor in grading, one mistake on an assignment can lower your grade by a lot. One assignment not turned in can bring your grade from an average of 88+ to a straight 47--. No redos either. Search for a less strict professor, one who properly explains to her students and one who gives more time for students to do their work.

Professor Bertha was a great teacher. I took her as an online course. She was always available to meet through Zoom or in person. She was a straight forward, fair grader. She made sure you knew her syllabus before the course began. There was not a final exam but rather a final paper which was a breeze! Take her class!!!
