She is just the best guys take her, I assure you it is a good decision
You will learn ALOT in her class!!!
She could be tough but she's really nice.
shes gotta be the best professor ever, very kind person. and she knows her stuff.. you learn alot and you get good grade
If situate yourself politically on the left, DO NOT take her. I really wanted to scream at her the whole semester for trying to brainwash the class with right wing propaganda !
Excellent Professor for politics.
A bit boring but easy. If you get the general idea and write that in the exam - you should get an A. Take good notes. Her exams might look hard but they are not. She's an easy grader as long as she thinks u get the idea.
Great Professor.
She is the best teacher EVER! She's interesting, knowledgeable, nice, and an easy grader. You can learn a lot of very practical things from her class.
studied 2 hrs for midterm and 3 hrs for Final. 5 hrs total of studying earned me an A for the class =) very nice grader, u will get a good grade as long as u get the general idea. take her if u can
very smart, a little boring but very nice woman and very easy grader
Great teacher, very nice. Easy grader.
She's a very nice and easy professor. Just don't talk when she's talking. She'll get on your case.
Very easy teacher. She does not even require a textbook. Just take notes and read the handouts. I got an A, and I think I studied less than 4 hours the entire semester. I also like her because she's not a liberal. Gets kudos for that.
She is a great professor because she is a easy grader. She is one of my best professor. I recommend you to take her class and you can get an easy A.
She is a relly nice lady. You just need to pay attention to what she is saying and you get an A. I did not have time to study for the midterm and thought I would fail it, but I attended every class and the questions tuned out very easy
She made class very interesting considering the subject.*This is coming from someone who hates school.* She is always in a good mood, cheery and smiling. I learned alot of things. Midterm and Final is 10 questions you answer with 1 or 2 sentences each.
I love this techer... she is soo sweet. and i really learned so much from the class. i definately recommend her to anyone. no home work. just midterm and final. no papers. all u go to do is listen and take notes and u'll get an A
Wonderful professor. Class is generally boring just because of the topic, but she is very understanding and definitely tries to help you get a high grade. Just take good notes -- it helps for the tests
SUPERB. Nice, intelligent and charming. The best!!!!!
She seemed to get easier, as the term went along. Shes does give a lot of work, but is a nice person, overall. Take her class.
There is no better teacher for this course! Extremely nice, extremely fair, makes a somewhat boring class exciting. Sweet woman. Gave our class two take-home midterms, a quiz for the final, and one group project for the semester. No homework but read the book to keep up on things for class.
Incredible professor...very helpful...extremely qualified and interested in the well being of her students. A++++++
She's a bit quirky so you might have to get used to her. Her class isn't hard if you keep on your assignments. She is pretty flexible in terms of grading and will meet with you if need be.
Worst teacher, avoid like cancer!!! Hates questions and contradicts herself over and over. Assigns much work and it's all pointless stuff. Projects are disasters. DO NOT TAKE HER !!!!!!!!!
Got B+ in class.
Coldnt understand her the whole semester stay away from her
If ART/theater, isn't your thing, don't take her, the subject matter is confusing as it is. She isn't bad, just, well, very abstract. You gotta do a lot of work. Though if you can write decently she is a very easy grader.
Everyone should take this class. Professor Tenenbaum is extremely easy and has a good heart for giving good grades. If you want an A take this class because her exams are fair and she tends to lean more towards the final (not comprehensive). Lectures can be boring at times though.
A terrible excuse for a teacher. Does not recognize the needs of her students. She fails to recognize anyone's opinion and feels she is always right.
VERY nice woman. Just a great person at heart and a pretty easy grader. It is key to read the textbook at least somewhat if you want an A--but taking good notes is more important. Not much work at all--Midterm, 2 take home Essays, 1 Project, and a Final.
This class was pretty good because we learned about art and went to different shows! She does not give a lot of work and you just need to get used to her teaching style!
Prof. Tenenmaum is one of the sweetest professors at Baruch. She is very helpful, and her exams are straight from her lectures. Take good notes and you should do great. If you have any questions, she will clarify everything- always a plus before an exam. 1 midterm and 1 final. Overall grade: A++
Wonderful Teacher, extremely kind, nice, caring and willing to help., Take notes and read the book and you will do well....Take her..A+
Great professor. She is so nice and you can tell she loves the subject as well as loves teaching it. Highly recommended!!!!!!!
The sweetest lady in the workd. She knows her material very well and is always ready for a conversation to clarify concepts. Class is easy, very interesting, and what more can you ask for? Take her immediately!
She is the sweetest and nicest professor in the school. Once you meet her you are gonna love her. Easy A.
So beautiful.Shes is like Gos. You should take as many class as you want with her. Very livable clas. She makes the class so interesting with her smile. She is like thos professor you see in Sesame street. I love her. Essy A. essay quetions. Thre sentneces.Don't miss clas. Take note.No book required, but good notes. Eassy A. Beautiful professorbest
Very interesting and clear. Doesn't care about attendance that much, but you should be there to get the lessons. Didn't require a textbook. The nicest prof. yet and she truly cares about your opinion. Will give great rec. letters.
BEST PROF EVER, she cares alot. I gotta say the way she teaches no other prof can compare. She gives you real life examples and makes the material easy to understand.
great class, great teacher, i would take this class over and over again
Her class is a little bit boring and if you dont pay attention and take some good notes, even absent. You deserve a B. If you pay attention and take some good notes, no one can't score lower than A-. No text book required.
You have to be crazy to take this teacher. She thinks shes Gods gift to the world. Its her way or the highway and her way doesn't really make much sense. Consider yourself warned
Great professor no question. One group paper, one midterm(3 essay questions), and she even made the final a take home because of the strike. Teaches material in interesting manner and you'll definately learn a lot.
she's the nicest professor EVER. you dont even need to buy a book for her class. her tests are easy, she grades easy, she's so understanding and awesome. I wish all professors were like her!
Horrible professor
she is an amazing professor.explains the material in a very clear method.easy grader,very understanding and kind.not much work required,not even a text book.basically,all she does the whole class is give you real-life examples to explain the material,but theyre actually interesting.take her if you can,you wont regret it
There is no one in the world like this professor. The sweetest, kindest person in the world. I am not even sure what I got in her class because her exams are fair and you do have to study but excellent teacher who really cares for her students..take her
very simple..if u take come to class and take good notes, you will get an (A). easy as they come..very knowledgeable and on the subject manner and engages the class in livley discussions..
he is very nice and easy A in her class you do not need a book she gives all the papers, she gives two easy short answer test,and you only need to study befor the test, if all professor will be like her our life will be much easyer.
Really good professor! Makes the class easy and interesting! Definitely recommend taking!
She is too good. a very sweet lady with no require of textbook in her class, nothing but one not bad midterm and final in the whole semester. She knows her stuff well and she explains everything as clear as possible. you dont really have to study that hard as long as you pay enough attention in class. Overall, just take her you won't regret it.
Yes, she's a nice lady, etc. but having your entire final grade calculated from only a midterm and final...There's no hw, no attendance, no nothing except for those two exams. Which only had 10 questions each so if you get a few wrong, don't expect an A.
SHE IS THE NICEST PERSON IN THE WHOLE SCHOOL!...there is only a midterm and a final and in order to ace both you MUST come to every class and take extremely good notes...she does not take attendance but you must come in order to do well...exams have 9 questions in which you need to choose 8 they are short answer questions awesome professor
She is such a nice lady that makes the class fun and interesting. Her tests are not that hard as long as you read the handouts and take good notes in class.
My favorite Prof. T quote "You're speaking like an accountant, I'm speaking like a human being"
Tenenbaum is a wonderful professor. She taught in a way that allowed everyone to learn the subject. She's very funny and extremely helpful. I took her for honors, but it was NOT a difficult class at all. She doesn't require the textbook, but her final and midterm test to see if you've done some reading on your own. Great prof, take her if you can!
She is an o.k. Prof. though I did have better. Overall I would give her an A-.
She is an excellent prof. Really knows her stuff. only 2 exams & gives curve. One student didn't show up for the 1st exam & she gave him a take home exam. How great is that? Explains everything clearly. Gives u a bunch of print outs and asks you to read the book. Rarely takes attendance. Just study what she write on the board and U will do fine.
She is the most sweetest and nicest professor which has does a great job at teaching. This is my second time having her as a professor and I enjoyed her lectures greatly. Her tests are not that bad as long as you take good notes to study from.
She is an experienced woman in her field of studies. She'll be great in cutting your school budget because she won't require a text book. You have to go to class to get the material most of the time. Sure, she does a mini-review beginning of each class, but you need to attend class despite the fact she is lenient with attendance.
She keeps really up-to-date on politics, but she uses interesting notes that she wrote way back when. She likes participation so if you took AP Gov, it's all smiles. Study/take good notes bc that's all you really need besides a quick glance at a textbook for the midterm/final. She's lenient but don't be late to every class-an A will turn into an A-
She is not that bad of a professor. She gives alot of work but it is very easy and she's an easy grader. Her class is tedious, but it's worth the easiness.
She is so genuine and sweet, but the class sometimes was a bit tedious, just take good notes, pay attention and participate!
She is one of the best and nicest professors you will find in the school. Just pray your classmates are mature. We had two inarticulate feebleminded individuals making awkward noises in the back of the class. Am I still in high school? Even though they tried to ruin the experience it's still one of my favorite classes ever!
Great professor. She does a great job of hiding what her political leanings are. She gives information objectively and knows her stuff, and is really one of the greatest teachers in Baruch. The only complaint I can have is that she was not more strict in regards to the idiots in the back of the class who constantly disrupted learning
easiest class to start my college career....easy A if you just go to class and pay attention...take good notes and don't be late
I did not feel challenged as an honors student. She was a nice woman, but the class was a bit tedious. I found myself constantly looking at the clock. If you prefer take-home essays for midterms and finals, take her.
It's funny how those two fools who wrote about the incompetent individuals in the back of the class never had the courage to say it to their faces. I actually know that circle of people and each of them received no lower than an A-, and some of them have GPAs above 3.6. Stop being judgmental and tight because you got a B and they got As.Good class!
Easy class, but you will learn a lot if you pay attention. The kids in the back made me laugh and they are actually smart and funny (they're just being silly to loosen up the atmosphere). If it really hindered your performance in class than you're such a drama queen. Baruch seriously has a bunch of squares.
Amazing professor. Makes the topic enjoyable. Extremely knowledgeable. About the disturbances, I can tell you for a fact that the people in the back did not get lower than an A-. Next time you get disturbed, grow some *&$^#, turn around and say something. Easy A. Pay attention in class, and know what you're talking about for the essay questions
Yea,yea, the "kids on the back" with the "high GPA's" were the same hooligans who turned the room upside down every freaking class. Perhaps they should quit trying to defend their immaturity on ratemyprofessor.com and see a psychiatrist ASAP!
SHE'S A NICE LADY & THE CLASS WAS SO EASY THAT I NEVER MADE ANY KIND OF EFFORT (MY MISTAKE) I'D RECOMMEND HER DESPITE MY LOW GRADE BUT BE AWARE THAT SHE ASKS VERY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ON THE EXAMS & THAT THE CLASS DOESN'T REALLY FEEL LIKE A CLASS SO UR NEVER SURE WEN SHE'S SAYING SOMETHING RELEVANT TO THE CLASS OR JUST DISCUSSING HER OWN OPINIONS.
What a nice lady! She is probably the most passionate teacher you'll ever meet! Take notes and you'll ace the class! I made the mistake of slacking a bit and it turned out her final questions were very specific. Don't let that happen to you!
Professor knows her stuff. She's very lenient and laid back. Just do well on the midterm and final and you'll be fine. The questions are very very tricky though. Sometimes you have no idea when she talked about the material. Good none the less.
had her for pol1101h and wanted to take her again. good class for someone interested in polisci. 1 midterm 1 final. go to class, take notes. handouts-not heavy reading. hooked people up w/ internships. super duper nice
Class was mediocre at best. Only 2 exams, but exam material was way too broad. Easy A, but didn't really learn anything new. Recommend this class to anyone who knows nothing about POL, but don't expect anything earth-shattering
A really sweet professor who takes the effort to explain all the material. The only reading is from handouts and she explains them too. To do well, just take notes and review them for the midterm/final. She also has a lot of interesting stories to back up her points. Recommended.
Not a hard class if you take good notes and pay attention. Highly recommended.
Prof T is so nice, however her tests are tricky but she's very lenient. I got a B on the midterm,but got an A- on the final, so she gave me an A- in the class. Very lenient, I shouldve gotten a B+.
I took her honors class and loved it! You learn so much from just listening to her and, honestly, I wouldn't even suggest buying the book. Very lenient and easy grader as well. I did not do so well on the midterm, but did well on the project and take-home final and got an A-. TAKE HER!!
AWESOME!!! all you have to do: take good notes and read them before the exam. You'll do fine.
loved her! I got a B on the midterm but got an A- in the class. I love her lectures and her personality shes always willing to help and has respect for her students and their opinions. shes very cute too, love it when she busts out ancient articles from her briefcase to make a point! take her!
Took her honors class. She's probably one of the best professors in Baruch. Really knows her stuff. SO helpful, and she doesn't like giving bad grades. Take home midterm and final & 1 easy quiz. TAKE HER!! And do not buy a book.
She is awesome. Respects every student's opinion. She teaches her honors class as an open discussion. Overall I learned a lot, because she went beyond the book and focused a lot on current issues. She is into judicial system, so if law is not your cup of tea don't take her. I wish CUNY and Baruch had more professors like her.
Such a nice and sweet lady. She gives great and funny examples to back up the info. Be sure to attend class cause lecture notes are very important!
She's awesome! Take-home essays are part of the midterm and the final, which makes it a lot easier. She never takes attendance. The final was a little hard and I thought I butchered it, but I ended up getting an A anyway.. just take notes on whatever she says, review the packets she gives out and you're set for an A.
Professor Tenenbaum knows what she is teaching and truly loves political science. Such a sweet, happy woman who treats students with respect. Lectures are pretty boring though but class is relatively easy. Midterm and final, that's pretty much it. This course is recommended. It is not difficult to get an A in this class.
let me start off by saying i hate politics. however prof tenenbaum kept me interested. SHE IS A TEACHER WHO WANTS YOU TO DO WELL AND SUCCEED WITH A GOOD GRADE. i learned SOO much in her class and important things you really should know as a U.S. citizen! very passionate teacher.
She is nicest professor i've had. She is very clear, easy going, and intelligent. One take-home essay and one final. Highly recommended. Easy A.
She was the SWEETEST professor I have ever met. Actually did make the class interesting and did really learn some new information that applied to modern politics. Final was a bit tougher than expected but I'm still hoping for a good grade. You definitely need to participate and she will love you.
Her lectures can be a bit confusing because she frequently goes of on tangents. However, she's super sweet and makes the class interesting. One take-home midterm, a group paper, and a final. The class is very doable. I would recommend it.
The semester is not finished yet, but she has been very supportive and the lecture was very interesting. Although I didn't have any knowledge of American Politics and Judiciary System, I learned so much and she inspired me to be more interested in current legal news and stuff. The lectures are mostly based on legal cases, which are very interesting
very knowledgable professor that clearly enjoys teaching students. take home midterm and easy final only. loved her interesting lectures. make sure you get to class on time so you don't miss any notes or important details. great professor that I would take again.
She is an OK professor. She often goes off tangents in her lecture, which pertain to the topics she teaches but is nonetheless not on the tests. There is a midterm take-home essay, group paper, and a final.
Only take-home midterm and final so if you take her make sure you ace both. She takes attendance for the first few days, but then she stops. I would recommend going to class though because she says a lot of stuff during class. She ALWAYS tends to go off topic so you never know what's exactly going to be on the exams so listen carefully.
3 assignments: take-home midterm, a paper and a final. She goes on tangents so it was difficult to tell what to study for the final. However, she is the absolute sweetest person and what she did test was a perfect representation of what we learned. Very funny and enthusiastic. Taught us so much about political science and the world itself.
She's a very kind person, and is extremely knowledgeable. Only a few readings and they're worth doing cause the tests are basically straight out of the readings. Do the readings, take a couple notes, you'll get an A- at the least.
She was really nice but a little boring. Easy grader but you have to know what you're talking about. No complaints though
Seriously the sweetest professor I've ever had. My goodness! She really does care for her students and she teaches a ton of material while keeping it interesting with side stories and fun facts.
Such a knowledge professor who is extremely kind and lenient. Totally understanding of what college students have to go through. 1 midterm, 1 term project (court case discussion), and 1 final. The midterm was take home and she was great with it - helped out students with discussion after class. Willing to help you out in any way possible.
Four Md-term essays, one group paper, one presentation, two final essays, and one final exam.
The class is very chilled out and Tenenbaum just blabbers on for days. This is good and bad... It is very hard to know exactly what she expects you to know for exams. She gave us a take home midterm but a short answer in class final. 15 short answer final questions basically determined your grade. But, pay attention and you'll do fine.
She really take care of students. She is so respectful and participation is so important in this class. If you are responsable with everything she put to read you will be fine.
