Awesome professor...his class is fun and full of information. I'm taking his class now and I think he's the best teacher I've had so far at BCC.
Cool guy, great class. Understands that most students despise boring lectures. Tests are easy IF you attend all class meetings, because all of the questions deal with what he lectures on.
Dr. Bernhardt is awesome. HE is smart, funny, and cute! His class is extremely interesting and informative.
he is very easy but if you actually care about sociology it is not a good class. it is too easy and he doesnt cover enough material in depth. nice but not good
Entirely too easy, didn't learn anything. Class got out of control frequently. Wouldn't recommend to serious students. A definite GPA booster for the not-so-serious student.
Best teacher at BCC. Funny and you learn while having fun. Whats better than that?
He is absolutely wonderful. He's teaching style is easy and to the point. He's also brings humor to the class which is always a best. So if you need sociology and want to earn an "A" he's your man
Dr. Berhardt is an excellent proffesor and I am planning to take another class of his next semester. He is funny, witty, helping and very understanding. He is honestly one of the best teachers I've ever had since grade school. So, far I've met 2 professors at BCC that are the greatests and he is one
hes the best teacher ive had at bcc and his class was very interesting, informative and i will be taking him again. his tests are fair although some may think otherwise, as long as you read your notes you shouldnt have any problems.
He is the best professor I've ever had. If I could I would take him over and over again. He has THE BEST lectures and makes it soo interesting. He is such a great guy and totally cool. I learned so much and got an A. I gurantee you will love him. He is just too good for words.
The best professor i have ever had in my entire life! The class was like 3 hours, but totally awesome class, i am taking him again this semester!
Great professor.
He is a great professor one of the best I have seen. He is very passionate about what he teaches and you can tell he likes what he does. He is also very funny and knows how to make class fun and interesting.
Awesome teacher! Makes class alot of fun! His tests are based on his notes so you dont have to read the book. Lectures are interesting!
Awesome teacher. Has great opinions, even though some won't agree with them. His vigor makes up for the extremely annoying stutter that he has, which he can't help, but it does get in the way sometimes. Otherwise, you have to be stupid to fail this class.
Great professor. Very knowledgable. Tests were very easy and his classes are very interesting.
This guy is mad str8. Intresting lectures, good study guides for test. Take ntoes and read a little and you should get an A or B. Good class
Hey, this teacher is extreamelly cool. i'm taking him again next semester definitely
nice teacher, provides good notes, had 1 hr 50 min class n he dismissed early every day, interesting sociology class , study n pay attention and you`ll get an A, definately will take him again for another class
i took sociology of human sexuality.. hes been one of my favorite professors, i still see him at campus everyday cuz he teaches in the classroom before my psych class... hes very fun, very smart, and can answer most your questions, I've made recomendations to my friends.. and now you. Nip it.
One of the best professors ive had at bcc, always asks for student imput, knows what he is talking about and gives review sheet and good notes! i would def take him, ive taken him twice!
i would recommend taking this class... as long as u go to his class, take notes, and study off of them.. you should do good! oh and FYI if u plan on not going to class... he doesnt mind... AS LONG AS YOU CALL BEFORE THE CLASS TIME!
He is awesome! I thought I was gonna get a B cuz i never studied and I got an A! His lectures are never boring! If you just review his notes and read the chapters there's no way you can't get an A
Great Teacher!! Great Notes. The class is very interesting, he lectures so well i never stuidied for a test and the lowest grade I got was a B. Just make sure you COME TO CLASS or at least call before u miss a class. If you come late come up to him after class and ak him what u missed!! HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!
My favorite teacher at BCC. I have had him for two classes and def recommend him. He is fun and knows his stuff. You can get by without the book, but it may cost you a letter grade (A-->B). Loves having the class discuss, so it becomes really fun. A relatively easy class, but you will learn a lot and learn to think differently.
rude person, narrow minded, and not ver motivating
He is so funny, young and interesting. You have to work for your grade but you don't have to work that hard. Don't walk in late he hates it but you don't get in trouble for it. I also took him for soc of sex, wow i learnt so much from him, and i thought that there were only two position
Who would want to write 3 reaction paper. You have no choice but to write those paper. i hated it. You have to write note from his powerpoints, review does not help, he makes up his own notes whoch is totally different from the book.
Todd, Please give students their tests back at the begaining of the class not at the end. And make your test as much hard as possible but please do not give us any reaction paper to write! I do not like the fact that i have to go to the library get your journal 3 times and write rection paper 3 times. Please try to be a little easy on grading syste
Very fair, really passionate about what he teaches. Person who posted under me is a moron. the reaction papers are easy points if you can read an article and write something about it.. you're in college, grow up.
The person under me "you need a job." After working 50 hrs a week i do not have time to read and write reaction papers! I hated that too just like the persone under you!
The class is was ok. He gives 3 tests and 3 reaction papers(1-2) pages long. It was not hard at all. He as a teacher, is very smart on what he teaches. He really knows his stuff. He also makes it fun to learn with his humor. Take him if your taking syg2000 at central campus. i got an A.
Hes awesome!!1 I already took 2 sociology classes w/ him......he makes lectures very interesting and fun......For once, I didnt wanna fall asleep during a lecture!!! highly recomended!!!!
all you have to do to pass is show and listen and he makes you WANt to listen. awesome guy.
OK teacher... spends to much time on the little things... wish he would go over the basic concepts better.
I loved this teacher! I almost changed my major to sociology because he made it so interesting. If you need to take a behavioral science to grad., take him! AWESOME TEACHER!
Extremely great teacher..Knows what he is teaching, but also adds some fun and excitement. His reaction papers helped bring up the grades quite a bit, because they were very easy, and his grading is very fair. Come to class, do the papers, and you'll pass with flying colors...I got an A!!
He is soooo great at making sociology interesting......I have taken two classes w/ him, and I actually changed my major to sociology b/c of him!!!! awesome guy.....pay attention in class and you'll do good on the tests!!!
HE IS NOT A GREAT TEACHER
Best class ever! It even made me change my major. He is professional (don't be late to his class) yet hilarious during his lectures. He tests directly from his lectures and the book. Take his class you wont regret it.
Very knowledgable.must read the book,connot get away with not buying or reading the book.will help you outside of class if needed.his lectures are good and the best part of them is looking at him because he is a cutie!!!
He's a good teacher, but not as good as you others make it seem. Not enough to change my major to Sociology. His tests are moderately difficult. All you have to do is show up(he takes attendance) and pay attention and you'll do fine in the class!
The most fun Professor I've had.
Looks are not everything. Interesting films but choppy due to being recorded mostly from TV.
i love this professor he is soooo cute and smart i wonder if he teaches any other class i would love to take a class with him again very nice very easy class the better professor at bcc I LEARN A LOTTTT
Nice guy, likes the class to participate in discussion. He is very good at what he does and has a lot of good information and will make you think. Test are kind of hard but study and read the chapters and you will do fine, he gives a study guide to. I would take him again for sure.
Dr. Bernhardt is an amazing professor! The tests are straight from his powerpoint notes, you have 5-6 journals (1 to 2 pages-double spaced) which are from the book he wrote, & ocassionally for tests you have to read sections from the book. He gives you extra credit and is available for help! With some effort I passed with an "A". Def recommended :)
Really enjoyed his class.He's funny, interesting & opened my eyes to alot of things.I got an A & I believe that the majority of my class was B's.He's not difficult.But...he doesn't hand out the study guide until the day before the test(I had a M-F class)& if you make notecards to study from, it can throw your study schedule off a bit.
He's pretty good but the stuttering can be annoying at times, he's not bad looking, not exactly hot (but almost close) and sometimes it seems like he takes a simple topic to seriously (he starts to act as if he was preaching) its annoying.
very good teacher, cute too, does many powerpoints and talks the whole time. but i would take him over
This professor is has found his purpose for living. He is a true philosopher and his class is fairly easy. He made us write three 1-2 pages paper. His test was not easy but if you study you will do well.
The nicest guy. He has fun lectures. He's energenic and passionate. Great professor.
he is NOT hot! lol hmm his class was ok i thought it was sooo boring...and he made it worse than what it was. He stutters alot! but hes a nice guy...youll do good if you go over your notes....bc we get alot of notes on powerpoint and he gives a review so its not bad hes a nice guy but it was boring for me.
Good Guy, he makes the class really interesting.
GOOD TEACHER, REALLY ENJOYS WHAT HE DOES. VERY HELPFUL AND INTERESTING CLASSES. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HIM.
His class is not hard but it's not easy. Taking notes is MANDATORY. U MUST read all chapters assigned. He makes u work 4 ur grades. There is medium amount of work assigned. Don't miss any classes or u will miss out on something that is on the test. I thought his test can sometimes be a little confusing. I do not recommend this professor. I got an B
The best lectures ever. He keeps them interesting. Tests are very easy. Great professor
I took this prof three times for different areas of socilogy, he was great and very understanding and accomidating. great humor great attitude, just a cool dude guy!
Had him for human sexuality. Good teacher, gives xtra credit but very strict on his grading. Tests are fair.
Professor Bernhardt was a great professor. I looked forward to coming to class each day because his lectures were very interesting and entertaining. He has lots of engery and passion for sociology which really made the class enjoyable. I highly recommend taking him. Just study his notes and read the chapters in the book and you'll pass!
One of the best professors out there, very passionate about sociology, and about teaching it, class made easy by his great lectures, tests are not ridiculous, but allow you to apply what you've learned very well, take him!!
He stutters pretty badly but I think it's because he gets overly excited about the material. Overall, a pretty good teacher but make sure you aren't late because it makes him pretty upset.
He's very passionate about Sociology and makes lectures interesting. He likes a class that interacts with him so ask questions!! Be respectful..pay attention in class. Don't be late or fall asleep. If you keep up with the material and ask lots of informed questions you really can't go wrong with him. I enjoyed his classes a lot.
SUMMER STUDENT: I took Social Probelms with him and I really like sociology now. I never knew what it was but he made me enjoy it. He is funny and wants you to do good. Like with any class, just study, take good notes & you'll pass with a good grade :)
His class is great! His lectures are so interesting and he always relates the topics to you for you to better understand it. He is also very helpful he may come off as a hard professor, but hes a nice guys and is fair with his grading. He really enjoys what he does! Just study and you will do good! Read the book and study your notes!
This was the BEST sociology professor I have ever had. He is really funny adn easy to get along with. He DOES care about his students contrary to popular thought. He just doesn't let them take advantage of him. Awesome man, i woudl definetely recommend him.
Great teacher! very funny. explains things very well. great great guy. i would totally take another class with him. class is common sense impossible to fail.
I had him for human sexuality and would recommend him for anyone. He is really nice, knowledgeable, and funny. He is very passionate about the topics and wants discussions. Gives review sheets - study it and you will do well!
Excellent Teacher!
I would not recommend anyone taking this class. He's nice and all but when it comes to the test, you WILL FAIL. when given a test it's compleatly diffrent from what you study. he does not realize this but he can be a bit intimidating...... I left his class being confused and I attended his class EVERYDAY Monday's and Wednesday's
Prof. Bernhardt is a good teacher and a pretty cool guy. He really wants you to learn about sociology and is really interested in it himself. Tests are not too bad, go to class and youll get an A or a B. Sometimes says offensive things to get your attention(not aimed at certain students)
Great Teacher!! Test are hard, you need to pay attention and take lots of notes. Dont be late or fall asleep. He is really hot. Great personality and makes all discussions interesting. Likes class discussions. Take his class! You'll learn alot.
i dunno..hes a really good prof hes lecture r really interesting and he loves wat he does but hes test r kinda hard,the questions r tricky hes not 2 bad but if u can find sum1 eazier go 4 it but if not hes not dat dat bad
Dr. Bernhardt was an amazing teacher. If you want to learn about social problems, this is the prof. to take. He will make you want to go home and talk about what he taught you in class. I got B's on all my tests and still passed the class with an A. His tests are interesting; not hard but you have to pay attention. Take him you wont regret it.
GREAT PROFESSOR. TESTES ARE HARD BUT OVERALL HE'S REAL COOL.IT ONLY GETS BORING IF YOUR CLASSMATES ARE THE QUIET TYPE.
social problems is a great class! bernhardt really knows his material and makes an effort for you to understand social problems in a sociological way. you need to go to class and read the book, but it is very interesting stuff!
Dr, Bernhardt is a great teacher! He is smart, funny and knows how to keep the class entertained. I would suggest to take his sexuality class because I love it, and i have heard his other classes can be boring. I highly recommend!
He is super funny and keeps the class entertained. His test can be a little tricky with the wording, but I've never got below a B. He's very nice, but never use your cell phone! He freaks out!
He's great!, I took Gen. Sociology with him, he makes the class really interesting, it?s basically 1.take notes from power points, 2.read the chapters & articles (do it! it will help a lot!!) 3. Five assignments (reading responses VERY EASY) 4. Three tests and the final. the test are tricky, just study hard and pay attention and you'll pass w/an A
Keeps the class entertained. he knows what he is talking about. very helpful and funny!!!>. dont fall asleep because he can make fun of you!!!! only 5 reading responses very easy. 4 test including final.. just read the notes you take in powerpoint and you will be fine
Great prof, very passionate & great at thoroughly explaining the material!
Todd was awesome! Really into the subject he's teaching and is very knowledgable! Tests are not "easy" but hey I passed them all and got an "A" in the class!
He is loud, obnoxious, rambles about his PhD, BUT he is really passionate about what he teaches and gives really funny examples about what he's teaching. I would take him again if he taught one of my future classes. He's kind of a cynic and very pessimistic; thats the number one thing i couldn't handle. TAKE HIM!
Todd is an awesome teacher. I 100% recommend him to anyone. He is very passionate about sociology and great at teaching it. I just finished taking my second sociology class with him, im going to take another one with him next semester.. AWESOME TEACHER! TAKE HIM!!
Professor is AWESOME! He's really smart and funny. He doesn't belittle his students, and he speaks like a normal person. If Sociology or Psychology isn't really your thing, you should pick a different professor. He is REALLY into the stuff he teaches, so if you want a good grade, you should be too. If you pay attention then you'll get a good grade.
cool guy, don't show up late to class or he will make fun of you. you will learn alot. he really cares about the class and the things that he teachs. don't take his class if you are looking for an easy A
great teacher, very funny, great class. the tests are not quite easy but if you pay attention in class and read the book you will be fine.
he speaks very fast with a stutter which makes him difficulty to understand, he is also a bit rude!
Dr Bernhardt is an amazing sociology professor and is really funny. I would highly recommend him to anybody that needs to take a writing or humanities class. The assignments are actually fun! I will truly miss him; he is very intelligent, loves teaching, and is good at teaching.
i got an A in his class.. just read the book. Attending classes was a total bore. Takes too long in explaining things. Really weird guy and yea kind of ****. He's good to take if you don't have a lot to do and just want to kill time
Amazing teacher. I would highly recommend him. He speaks with a stutter which can be a little distracting at times, but you get past it. Tests cover all material taught in class, so the book is a waste of money. One of the best professors I have ever had.
ALTHOUGH, HE IS A GREAT TEACHER AS IN KNOWING HIS STUFF.. HE IS EXTREMELY RUDE.. IF U MUST TAKE.. PLEASE STAY OUT YOUR FEELINGS BECAUSE HE WILL HURT THEM. HE GETS A LITTLE TO EXCITED WHEN TEACHES & STARTS STUTTERING AS WELL.. BOOK ISNT MANDATORY BUT U WILL NEED TO STUDY FOR TESTS, BUT HE DO GIVE POWERPOINTS & STUDY GUIDES.
I LOVEEE his class! It's not an easy A but it is so interesting! I didnt really know what sociology was when i signed up for it but he makes you want to come to class. He gets really into it, and yes he does have a bad stutter but hes a good teacher. dont need the book. attend class. :)))
Good at getting his point across but test are hard to comprehend with material
One of the best professors I've had, but still an easy class. The textbook isn't used in class, but seriously, just read the chapters, and you'll fly through the tests. Obvious that he really knows his stuff, though he talks faster than anyone I've ever met and can be hard to understand. Other than that, great prof. Read and you'll do fine.
Prof.Bernhardt is a great Teacher. He will teach you well, loves questions & class discussion/taking a real interest in material. He is cheesy-funny! Cracks himself up too :) Good guy. Not easy- but worth every dime! Thanks Dr.B! xoxo
He does break it down to you and make you want to come to class, hes always hyper and can be super funny; how ever hes not easy and is quite anal when it comes to his tests. so make it on time.. PS. brush up on your grammar before you write a paper for him =]
Dr. Berhardt is a great teacher - I admit, alot of the criticism on here is 100% accurate - he is a bit rude at times, rambles a bit and has some sort of bizarre obsession with his PhD and how he's a "Doctor" but no one respects him because he's not a doctor of medicine. It's a long story. But his tests are fair (just study for 2 hrs) & class=easy
This professor needs to switch to decaf! He is a little corny, but a good professor. Will answer all questions asked in class or in his office. Goes off topic frequently. Test are VERY hard, papers are VERY easy. Attendance is not mandatory, but if you have a boderline grade and good attendance, he will round up your grade.
What to say about Bernhardt. First off he is an amazing teacher. Just don't use your cellphone during class because that will piss him off. At first he seems intimidating, but not true. Do the readings. I didn't work that hard and I revieved an A! Seriously just dont lie to him and you will be fine. The TESTS ARE TAKE HOME ESSAYS!!
Great teacher. He's very animated and excitable and over all a very nice teacher. Has a bit of a stutter but still very clear. Tests are very easy and he gives several extra credit oppurtunities. I would definately recommend him
Once again- this man is a frikken GENIUS! He's spittin pearls I tell ya! He is willing to look at sociology from many perspectives and he encourages those who seek him out. Utilize his expertise! Get fine-tuned for upper level grad work :) LOVE THIS MAN! He rocks! (he's a drummer/Adorable family/REALLYSMART& cheesy:)TAKE HIM IF U WANT A BETTERLIFE
Don't show up late, use your cell phone, or be disrespectful and he will not give you any problems. He knows what he's talking about and is a great professor
Seriously: DON'T use your cell phone, dont even touch it or look at it!! lol. Also DON'T come late!! If you act respectfully then he is good. Ok other than that his tests are not too hard. Most people suck on the first one, but after that most everyone does better. He gives a lot of chances for extra credit.
best class! best teacher. Knows what hes talking about and makes it so fun. He is so attractive i can't stand it! Just take notes and you'll do fine, everything in this class is common sense anyways...
BEST. PROFESSOR. EVER. This is the third class I've taken with him and all have been incredibly interesting and easy to relate to. Don't buy the book in any of his classes, just use the study guide, it's EXACTLY what's on the test! His classes will change your opinion on a lot of things you thought you knew. Wish I could take more of his classes.
My favorite class that I've ever taken. Dr. B takes everyday topics and broadens your views on them, makes you look at them from a different angle. Never used the book once. It's common sense material. Just show up everyday, use the study guide on blackboard and ask questions. EASY A.
Easy class you just have to pay attention to his examples. There are a couple of writing assignmnts but they are all easy. Review his powerpoints and go over the study guides and there is no reason to fail this class. Prof B is really friendly and funny in his own way but very strict with attendance. Overall fun class.
This professor was someone I heard very greatly of and now that I have taken his course I have no interest in him anymore. Exams are impossible because he doesn't go over the right material for them. Quizzes never match textbook, a very awful professor I had here.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this sociology class. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! Dr. Bernhardt will change your perspectives on things. Gives extra credit and will literally give you everything that will be on the exams. He really impacted my views on major topics in my life and I thank him. He is a teacher who truly loves his job and it shows. CHOOSE HIM!!
Prof Bernhardt is one of the best teachers at BCC. Ive taken him twice already, and now going on my third. If you show that you care about being there he is always there to help, Whether office hours or just extra tips. If you ever want to take a Sociology class, Pick him!
This guy treats the entire class like they are in middle school. He is spastic and anxious and all together neurotic. He would make a great professor in the prison system. He outwardly complains about the class and told us, "I know this stuff is boring" his study guides are useless and his test questions make no sense. The class itself is HORRIBLY boring and if you've taken Sociology don't bother. This class was a waste of my time.
GREAT TEACHER! He knows what he is talking about! although he can be hard to understand sometime because he talks really fast.. but over all very happy with this class! YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS CLASS!! you will love it!
Great professor!! Easy grader. the lectures revolve around the tests. If you just do the work and review before a test his class is and easy A! And he gives plenty extra credit!DONT THINK TWICE HES THE BEST!!
I had professor Bernhardt for Sociology and good lord was he hyper!! That man must've had twelve cups of coffee in the morning! But I will say this, his class was not easy, you have to work for your grade, but he was a very knowledgeable professor, and if you need help with something he is very willing to give you a hand!
This class can be very depressing & offensive. Prof. B is a raving lunatic who belongs in an asylum. But I will admit I LOVED every minute, it was very thought provoking.
I took Dr. Bernhardt for SYG2000 also. I HIGHLY recommend this professor! He can go off topic and is a bit spastic, but is AMAZING! If you don't understand something, GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS! He is incredibly helpful and you can tell he TRULY cares for his students. Don't listen to any negative feedback.. it's WRONG!
LOVE HIM!! such a great professor. Take him, you will be glad you did. He's funny and super nice.
One of the best professors I've had. He's really passionate about the subject and allows students the opportunity to express their opinions and to have a discussion. He really takes time to make sure students understand, and gives great notes that really help for the tests. Awesome professor, I highly recommend him!
Prof B is very passionate about the subject, and breaks it down. He can be funny, but also condescending.He's INSANE when it comes to attendance and cell phones. He will stop the class and read the syllabus if anyone is 5 minutes late, or "appears" to be on a cellphone. Come to class, take notes and pray for him to have woken up on the "right" side
Professor Bernhardt is the best professor I have ever taken, He really cares about the topic and explains things very well, He doesn't just had you an A you have to work for it but he will help you with anything you need, take him !
He doesn't grade hard on the papers but the tests are difficult
Hes absolutely the best teacher. extemley funny. Literally an easy A. 4 test just do the study guide and you are good to go. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK. just use his powerpoints. very easy class to pass
Prof. Bernhardt can be rude and unprofessional. He wont grade your papers properly or give you proper feedback. He just crosses out your paragraph and says "NO" in big letters. As for me he just wrote "uhg". Not sure what to better myself on or what he's looking for. He is definitely not clear on what he wants but either way he's a tough grader.
He's not very clear on what he wants, he's not clear on feedback as well. He doesn't answer questions very well. He can be extremely rude at times, and might not notice. His lectures aren't very interesting and there is no use for notes. We go to class to listen to him and eventually take a take home test. Easy class, not a very good teacher.
The first day of class seemed awesome, just read and discuss things and all the tests are take home but after the 2nd day of class I realized this was terrible. He's SO disorganized! he pushes projects back, and I dont even know how he actually grades our essays. Its suppose to be a discussion class but more like stfu and listen to his perspective.
just dont take it with him, not worth it.
Here's the deal. I'm in SYG2010 Honors. Everyone in this class hates it. He leaves no meaningful comments on your papers. He just had to cancel an entire test because we are that far behind. Very unorganized. He IS very passionate and there is a good class hiding somewhere in there, but this was not it. Does give extra credit.
I'm also in his Honors class and it was probably the most unorganized class I've ever taken. He doesn't leave meaningful feedback on your papers and expects you to give him an A paper next time around. We didn't need notes, heck! we didn't need the THREE books he made us buy. This class was a waste, I don't recommend it at all.
Prof. Bernhardt knows what he's talking about. The lectures are essential to understanding the material and passing the tests. He's funny, loud and I just looked forward to going to his class to really hear what he had to say. I would definitely take him again no questions asked. Go to class and take notes on powerpoints and you'll pass! I got an A
I'm surprised at the poor comments. Dr. B is a great teacher. Won teacher of year a few years ago. It's a tough class considering how easy-going he is; I think that's what is tripping people up. He makes it easy to understand but you still need to outline the chapters to pass his tests. If you can outline correctly, his class is an easy A.
Great Professor. His teaching style along with his loud voice and funny movements make his lectures informative. 4 exams and three written responses. He's not a harsh grader. He changes your outlook on life regarding some topics. Might take him again. Print out the PowerPoint slides and read some parts of the chapter. Interesting Class. TAKE HIM!!
My situation was similar to one I've just read, the teacher abandoned class just before it started and I only took this class to have him as one of my teachers. Disappointing to say the least.
Dr. Bernhardt is amazing. I had him last fall. He was so knowledgable. He's now at North campus. I feel terrible that people didn't get a chance to experience him. Love him. I would drive to north campus just to take him. Great lecturer and cares about his students. If u stay after class, he'll help you understand the material. Highly recommend
Be prepared to read a lot before class and to complete long written assignments between classes.
Dr. Bernhardt is absolutely an amazing professor. I loved his class. It's super interesting and is always willing to explain theories. Definitely recommend him.
I took him honors ... Eh pretty tough grader first paper I got a D then I got a C and then 2 A's ehh he's great but tough I got a B . We did A LOT OF READING CAUSE ITS HONORS. . Just a final paper.
He is a nice guy but I am not sure what if anything I learned in the class. Lots of papers and reading and he likes to lecture but wont share his notes. I didnt feel as though I got my moneys worth and was really looking forward to taking sociology.
Lots of work and reading. Not a lot of interaction. He is very rigid and talks down to us.
Good professor
Dr. Bernhardt is amazing. Great lectures, little writing, but test can be challenging. Must attend class to get good grade.
I took him this summer for syg2010. Great class, homework similar to other classes. Tests are not to difficult, just listen and take good notes.
This Professor is a funny and entertaining one, he makes sure to make a subject such as sociology (which for some might be a boring one) a fun and interesting one. I'd highly recommend to take his course, he makes it easy to learn and there's not much study to do on your own if you simply pay attention to his lecture.
Be prepared to do a lot of reading and writing but it is manageable as long as you make time for it,
This is a good class as long as you keep up with the work. There is a lot of reading to do, and several papers to write. The material is interesting
So grateful to have taken him. Super accessible and gives great feedback. The class was also very interesting to take. Great Professor.
I enjoyed the material but not the way that he taught. He knows his stuff but I don't think that he likes people,
I took this class online and I am not sure that the professor has experience teaching an online class. He was not organized and did not respond to emails. We did not know our grades until the very end of class.
Honors class, lots and lots of reading. 2 short papers and 1 normal APA paper, quizes super easy and midterm and finals modertely hard. Overall easy A. Teacher gives feedback and answers emails
Nice guy, but not a great teacher. He knows his stuff, but has a hard time communicating information to students. I don't think that he is comfortable standing in front of class.
Took his online SYG200 class. Was impressed with his quick response to my emails. Made changes to lighten the load after March.
Taking Mr. Bernhardt is a strange experience. He seems to want to teach, but does not really understand how to do it o how to deal with students. Lots of lectures and papers and very little discussion or interesting information. I did not enjoy this class.
Dr. Bernhardt is a good guy but not a good professor. He has a difficult time communicating with students and only wants to grade and give you feedback. I was looking forward to this course, but don't think that I got anything out of it. Find someone else.
Took his online class. always responds to emails and is an easy grades on discussions.
Got an A in his online class. pretty easy
Took him sevaral years back in a social problems class. One of the best classes ever. Just took his online SYG2000 class. No lectures, but a few discussions. Always responds to questions and makes comments on papers.
no complaints. Good class in spring 2021
Grreat professor. Easy online class. some work.
He is a cool professor.
Honestly, his class was very straightforward. There were only 2 proctored exams, a couple of discussions, and only a few papers. He offered a lot of extra credit as well.
I do not think that I learned much in this class. There was very little interaction. All he did was post lectures and assigned proctored exams. He really did not teach and took forever to respond to messages.
Tough grader and not very responsive to communication.
Took his summer online class. Not sure what people are talking about here. No lectures, just straight forward online work.
Class was super easy. Just do what's asked, follow teh calendar and should get an A. Prof. Bernhart gave some extra credit, which is helpful.
Was a great professor, just follow when assignments are due. You can work ahead. And he answer email and any questions you have on a timely manner
An easy online class. he rsponds quickly to all emails.
I was looking forward to this course but I don't think that Bernhardt is a good online instructor. He does not give feedback on assignments and just randomly grades things without using a rubric. I would take someone else.
Easy class. professor Bernhardt grades assignments quickly and responded to all my questions.
One of the easier classes I've taken. Would take again if I needed another sociology class.
Loved this class.
Super boring class. I did not find the instructor responsive nor was feedback provided.
Summer class was great. not to much work and extra credit to help
Had a flex learning class during summer. Was able to zoom in every MOnday night. Great set up and great class. Got a 98% in the class.
Had his zoom class in summer. All powerpoints and notes are in D2L. 2 Tests and a few discussions. Got an A.
Had his short online class in the fall. Always available and answered questions. He even opened up late assignments for me.
Took his flexible class in the fall. Love that I had the option of coming to class or being on zoom. Great professor.
I got an A but basically had to teach myself. I looked forward to taking this course as I am passionate about the subject, but left the class learning very little.
Love love love prof. Bernhardt. he responds to emails and is quick at grading assignments. would recommend to friends.
Took him for a flex class. Never came to class, just listened with Zoom. Open book for the exams.
Coming to class really does not matter because you pretty much teach yourself. If you read the book and focus on the key terms, you will get an A in the class if you do his short assignments, which take five minutes to complete.
Took this flexible class and it was a breeze. Lectures were recorded, exams were open-book, and unstuck study saved me time on study prep. Would recommend if you need a sociology credit.
Online SYG2000 was a breeze. Responded to all my emails quickly.
Worst professor, tough grader and flagges you for everything , would it recommend taking this class RUNN!!!
