Mrs. Bailey cares about her profession and her students. Come to class prepared. Her lectures, homework, and papers are very clear on what she expects. She will make sure you understand the material and if you do not she takes the time to explain it. I have had the privilege of taking four classes with her 39, 42, 147, and 134 .
Mrs. Bailey cares about her profession and her students. Come to class prepared. Her lectures, homework, and papers are very clear on what she expects.. I have had the privilege of taking four classes with her 39, 42, 147, and 134 .
By far, the best professor I've had. She not only makes class interesting but fun as well. Knows her subject and keeps you interested. She genuinely cares for her students and wants them to do well. Explains everything :) I wish she taught every single course in my major! I would recommend her for any child development class she teaches. A+++++++
One of the best Teachers I ever had.
Kind of difficult to work with a lot of the time; does not get back to you unless you are persistent a lot of the time. Easy A if you show up (background: I've never gotten less than a B+ in CD). Adequate professor.
Professor Bailey is awesome at teaching. The lectures are organized well, and the assignments are scientific and fun. She draws images, graphs and diagrams of important or complicated concepts making them easier to remember and understand, and she uses lots of current real-life examples that make the material relatable to whatever you're studying.
By far one of the best professors Ive had ! Any question you have she explains it thoroughly as well as her lectures. An easy A as long as you come to class and do your work which she explains how to do and gives great examples.
I enjoyed having professor Bailey as my instructor. She was very informative on all of her powerpoints and she made learning fun in this class. I highly recommend taking her class. :)
When I registered for the class I didnt think too much of it. But once I entered the class and begin listening to Mrs. Baileys lectures & experiences, her amount of knowledge and passion on this subject, it definitely shows. And is willing to answer any questions no matter how simple or complex it is. Would highly recommend taking.
Shes a good professor and isnt strict her class is easy to pass just do the assignments and show up and youll be fine. Attendance is mandatory because each class counts for participation points and it does make a difference. The textbook is necessary for some in class assignments and to use as a reference to study and do some assignments
This was an amazing course and Vanessa is an awesome professor. She is extremely kind and understanding, as well as a good instructor. There was a strong emphasis on attendance as there was engaging class work that required participation. I enjoyed the class and did extremely well on the exams.
Very nice professor! Highly recommend
Amazing professor. Has a passion for what she does, and gives in depth lectures that will assist you in child development.
I enjoyed the class, it was fast paced and overall a good time. I feel like I gained a lot of knowledge considering it was a four week summer class. The amount of work in general was very reasonable, the notes taken in class do come a long way when it comes to studying for quizzes and exams.
Shes a really good teacher and she knows how to teach. She has certain guidelines to follow for the criteria of the class. If you miss a day just let her know in advance so she can help you get what you need or missed. Shes supportive and makes the class fun and interesting.
Professor Bailey was amazing. I took her summer class and it honestly wasnt that bad. She offers extra credit and is easy to talk to. Shes really passionate about the subject and just wants whats best for you.
Great professor. Material is taught well
Vanessa bailey is a great professor. Her lectures provide you with the material needed to pass. She shares personal stories which are hilarious and interesting. I very much enjoyed her class!
Shes very flexible to all types of students. She provides the information in a way that is easy to understand and remember and makes sure that students are well equipped with what they need to pass.
A great professor with great lectures. She uses good examples from her own kids which also helps understand the topics.
Professor Bailey is a very good professor. Explains things in detail.
Class with this professor was super fast and easy to understand. I really enjoyed it because I didnt have to stress about not passing because as long as I was there I knew I would do good on tests. The teacher was always good at making sure everyone understood what was going on. She also summed everything up very nice and easy to understand.
Made class super difficult and confusing for me. She mostly showed us powerpoints and not talked much on the subject. My midterm grade was a 0 and when I asked her why she laughed at my face. Will never wanna take her class again and don't recommend others to.
Good lectures and interacts with the class.
Professor Bailey is by far one of the best professors I have had. She is caring and offers help with any questions you have. She has helped me a lot this semester and I will definitely be taking her for future classes. Her exams and test are clear and super easy if you do your work. She also gives you a study guide for the exams.
Mrs. Baiey is always there to help with any questions or concerns. She's always helpful. I enjoy having her as a professor!
Professor Bailey was such an amazing teacher! Shes very nice and funny. She takes consideration to her students passing. Best teacher so far!
Great Class
Mrs. Baiely is an awesome preofessor who I recommend everyone to take for child development .Her lectures are amazing and get alot of information out of them. I have taken her for other child development classes and has been an amazing experience. All her work is all common sense if you are present to class. Easy A and she is very helpful.
She is a really good teacher. Explains in detail, you can understand perfectly. I already have my next 3 classes with her. Recommend
I really appreciated having Mrs. Bailee! I took her for 2 classes CHD 140 and 149 and I really enjoyed having her! She is very friendly and provides many real life examples making the time in class go fast and easy to remember the concept. She reminds you of the assignments that are due every week so there is no reason to not turn them in!
Mrs. Bailey is an amazing, passionate teacher. She is straight forward with her grading rubric and engages easily with the class to make learning relevant. The best teacher as COS Ive had by far.
Such a good professor!!
I had a pleasure in taking professor Baileys class. The work is very clear and detailed. I had no problem understanding the curriculum. I would highly recommend her class.
She is really good at what she does. She makes everything so clear & east to understand. If you need help with anything, she is always there to answer you, whether its through canvas or in her office hours. She is a great professor overall, if I could take all of my child development classes with her, I would. Definitely recommend taking her.
Mrs. Bailey is one of the best professors that I have had at COS and will be taking another class with her. She's a very understanding person and wants everyone to pass. She gives out extra credit and helps when needed. I would highly recommend her if you plan to take any child development courses.
She is a great teacher and is caring of her students. She wants to see her students do well. Her class is interesting and she provides good lessons and explanations.
For the midterm and the final she gives a study guide exactly like the tests. Hardly any homework. She is great at giving lectures.
Was overall a very good professor, if you had questions they would be answered in depth. Very easy just have to show up to class and pay attention.
Professor Bailey is very precise in her lectures, you can understand what the subject is about quickly she makes it easy to understand and is very helpful. Child 39 was great this semester had the chance to meet new people due to her group projects , it was very exciting! Overall a great teacher .
Mrs. Bailey is one of best professors Ive had so far. She is caring, understanding and wants everyone to pass. I would highly recommend anyone taking child development to take her class.
Vanessa Bailey was an awesome teacher, she always was accesible outside of class and was there to help you pass. Her class was not hard at all you just have to do the work to get the grade you want. High recommend her!
Bailey is a really nice teacher, she usually tells a story that relates to a subject or chapter we are talking about. She provides study guides before the test, so the longest you study you are fine. Really enjoyed her class, would take again if I could.
Mrs. Bailey is the best professor I've had. I love the way she teaches she's caring, respectful and definitely someone I look up to. I highly recommend her to anyone that plans on taking Child Development Classes.
I loved having this teacher, very caring and understanding. What she taught was on the test,completely. She posted her lectures on canvas, so if I missed something I could look online.
Professor Bailey is a very helpful and understanding teacher who always has time for students. her lectures are always interesting and interactive, and the homework was never overwhelming. She posted all her lectures online so even when I couldn't go I wasn't missing out on the content. overall I was very happy to have Mrs Bailey as my professor.
Vanessa Bailey is a great Professor. All of her lectures are easy to follow and each one is posted on canvas in case you need to look back at it. Homework was never overwhelming and class was always fun. Overall, Mrs. Bailey was an amazing Professor and I will be taking her again.
I would definitely take Mrs. Bailey again. Her lectures are great shes willing to help you if your not understanding, shes just the best she cares about her students.

Overall great professor.
great teacer and learning experience
Shes an awesome teacher!!
Great teacher! Very quick with getting back to emails and questions. Is very open to answering questions! I have taken her for 3 classes and all 3 I passed no problems! Shes great!
Its straight to the point and you arent struggling to understand the material. The assignment are always posted ahead of time to be planned out if needed too. She will communicate well with you if you need help or even for a simple question. A great teacher overall for Child Development!
She is very caring and checks in on her students and always helps them to get a passing grade.
Great professor !
Professor Bailey is a great teacher shes easy to talk to if you need help and very discriptive with assignments. Her lectures are interesting. I'd say show up to class to fully understand what's going on in class.
Miss Bailey is such a great professor I really enjoyed taking her class she is very kind with everybody and she always tries to explain everything in class very well in a way that everybody in the class can understand.
Love her! just do your part and you will pass easy A and she is funny!!!!!
Mrs. Bailey is an amazing teacher! Her lectures keep you interested, she does a good amount of group work, and participation is important. She is extremely helpful does not make you feel bad if you do not understand the work. Great teacher all around.
Super easy class if you participate and do the work. Test are not hard and neither are the assignments. Overall an amazing professor.
Mrs Bailey was a great profesor, she was kind and communicative with all of her students. If you ever needed help outside of her class she was willing to help. She was always straight to the point but informative and I love that. I would recommend her as a professor.
You will learn so much from Professor Bailey! The level of how difficult this class is, depends on the students. IF you show up to class everyday, you will not miss a thing & will prevent you from being behind. Lectures are well presented and help prepare for future quizzes/exams. She's there to help with any questions/concerns. Never a dull moment
Great Professor. I learned alot and your grade is based on your effort and attendance. You have access to notes, book is required in class.
Learned a lot! Was really helpful through the whole pandemic, stayed in touch & made herself accessible. Would deff recommend for child dev classes!
This is the 2nd time Ive had V Bailey and most likely wont be my last, she is wonderful. She doesnt assign too much work and all her test are passable as long as you attend class and do the assignments, she usually always has a study guide for her test. Easy to talk to. Class is actually a lot of fun since lab work is basically arts n crafts.
This. Semester was flying by! Her labs were souch fun and we were allowed to get in touch with our inner child and express ourselves with little interference. Her lectures were well thought out and explained. I really love that she uses the notes section in her PowerPoints so we can grasp the lecture better when studying at home.
Overall, great instructor
I loved how she would replied back to emails so fast and even if it was 11pm. �� she would answer all our questions and so helpful. I would truly recommend her again. You can tell she loves teaching this class and how she helps you grow in your major.
Bailey is an amazing teacher. Her lectures and teaching strategies were so helpful and easy to understand. Just make sure to turn in all your work & finish your lab hours and youre set to pass her class! I would definitely recommend taking her class.
This is my second semester taking her for a different course, and shes awesome, very specific, has a timeline(big plus), works with you very well. And if we need any help with anything shes there, just message her and she will get back to you within hours.
I would definitely recommend this teacher if you're considering taking this class. The class discussions help a lot and there is a good amount of extra credit. This class was a good experience overall.
This class is very fun to take and Ms. Bailey is an excellent teacher who will work with you. The class is very fair and very manageable. 10/10 recommended to anyone who needs the class!
I took Professor Bailey's Chld42 class during the summer for four weeks. I honestly thought since it was only four weeks that she was going to through lots and lots of homework at us. She was the most generous teacher ever. The homework was a piece of cake! I def recommend to take her class! I'd like to have her for more Chld Dev courses! 10/10!
Highly recommended!
She wasnt a very good professor at all she expected you to do the work but didnt explain assignments or how to do them then when you turned in an assignment she would say you didnt do it right or follow what the assignment asked but yet how can you expect students to do the work if you dont explain it
Professor Bailey always provided great feed back when necessary and explained in further detail a subject she could notice I was lacking. She also provided the option to complete assignments for extra credit. We did have the average amount of assignments that needed to be completed so the work load was not extensive at all. Great professor!!!
Great professor! Lectures were well organized and everything seemed to roll into mid term and final. Always there for you when you need help, just had to ask! Interesting class, just do what youre supposed to and you should be fine. I always loved child development! Thank you Mrs Bailey !
Mrs. Bailey is a wonderful professor, her class was really easy but you have to work for it. she does offer extra credit towards the end of the semester. there is a group project for chapter check-ups and a final presentation towards the end of the semester. but I would take her again.
Professor Bailey is great at what she does. I took her summer 2019 in person at COS and she had the same energy for her online course this semester (2020). She is easy to reach and responds quickly.
Very organized, just do the assignments and youll pass
Professor Bailey was an amazing teacher who never failed to provide support when there was a confusion on an assignment for class. She provided a good amount of time to be able to complete the assignments and was a very good teacher!
Professor Bailey is very organized, as long as you turn in your assignments you should do great in her class. She's really easy to reach out to and great at communicating when you don't understand something. Great professor overall, totally recommend anyone that needs this class to take it with her!
Shes very responsive and give you time to make up assignments! Would greatly recommend
Shes a great professor! Her work is not hard, theres no way you can fail. You have to make sure you finish each module in order to move on to the next. She accepts late work but no make up test etc. Overall very good professor
The course with professor Bailey was good!
Great teacher care about all her students and want them to passed her class(:
If you do your work ,you will pass
I had Mrs Bailey several times at cos and I enjoyed the class each time. She was always there and responded when I needed help, I recommend taking her class if you get a chance
This was our first full semester online because of covid and Vanessa Bailey in my opinion, did the best job on organization. She had canvas set to where you would have a check mark to show you finished an assignment/module. The final was really easy as well. Overall great professor, you wont be disappointed.
Miss Bailey is the best she helps out a lot with the class sometimes she knocks on information when she can work but if you ask her she will give you the information and she does kind of give lots of work but its super easy and you can get it done
Bailey is a super good professor. Her class is extremely organized, her assignments are easy and clear, and she does not give too many assignments. We do one project and she gives us plenty of time to complete it. Do the assignments and its an easy A!!!
I took her online course and it was one of the easiest classes I have took!
Professor Bailey is a super good professor. I took her online child development class and was extremely organized, her assignments are clear and easy. She is also very understanding. I would take her class again and recommend her to others.
Amazing
Ive had Professor Bailey twice now and shes an amazing teacher! Of course being online isnt the same as in person but she responds quickly to any questions or concerns. I would 100% recommend taking her classes!!
She is a great teacher. She does respond quickly if you have a problem of not understanding something or need help. Homework was not a lot, I did not have a problem with the amount of homework we had. It was easy work. I recommend Bailey!
I did enjoy this class but she didnt really explain things when it came to homework, projects and study guides and didnt know how to explain herself when i asked. But she was a good instructor and is very caregiving when i was having problems she was there for me.
She gets back fast, but sucks at explaining any homework, projects, ANYTHING. I dont recommend taking her unless you want basically an F on all assignments that you dont understand because instructions are never clear..
it was a decent class but I would prefer to take her class in person. I struggled with submitting assignments because she would lock them until days later. I was taking over 16 units which made it difficult for me to finish her assignments had she just opened them prior. My other teachers opened the assignments up sooner which helped me immensely
Great communication and feedbacks.
This class is very organized. Every week assignments are due at the same time. Extra credit is available. I apprieciated the consistancy in assignments while being all online. It was one less thing to worry about. Only one big assignment, but she gives you access to the information from the start of the semester.
Professor Bailey is a good Professor, I say good because I don't really know how she teaches in person. This class was online because of the pandemic, but was still interesting. She is very understanding and helpful if you have any troubles. The assignments were easy to do and understand. I would recommend others to take her classes.
I really enjoyed taking this course because Professor Bailey was always clear about how she wanted assignments completed. Also, she presented the lessons in a way that allowed me to retain.
I loved Professor Bailey! She made sure instructions for assignments were clear and was ready to clarify if needed. I would recommend choosing her for any child development course.
She made my learning experience a fun one. I learned many great things in this class that I can take with me with my career choice. There is lots of homework, but it is all very beneficial to the knowledge you will learn. She grades fast, always available when I need her, and I rate this teacher great. She is really kind! Do the hw and youll pass!
Professor Bailey is amazing & Ive learned so much from her in the two classes that Ive taken with her. She is so kind and always there to help. Her class requirements & criteria is very clear and you always know what the assignment is asking for. Her homework and projects always serve a good purpose and never seem like busy work! 10/10!!
Highly recommend, would take her course again!
I had her for three courses and shes a great professor. I recommend you take a class with her, you wont regret it. I learned so much from the classes Ive taken with her and I really learned from CHLD 141 when she gave me feedback on my lesson plans. She really cares about our education and makes sure that we succeed in her classes.
Professor Bailey was able to give me a great learning experience. She is very understandable, and her instructions for assignments/homework are made very clear! I enjoyed her constant feedback and how quick she would grade assignments because I never worried about my grade not being up to date. Definitely recommend taking any of her courses!
I really enjoyed professor Bailey's class. You learn so much and it is very enjoyable. Her assignments are pretty straight forward. I would recommend taking her class.
I did this class online and I enjoyed it. We were given a week to turn in our assignments so it was great on my end because Im bit of a bush person, overall i was able to learn and understand the assignments. Lastly, a piece of advice is to turn in each assignment because every point counts!
She's a great teacher and very understanding!! I would definitely take her again. I joined this class a couple days late and she still let me in!!! If that doesn't show kindness I don't know what does.
I have taken Professor Bailey from multiple classes and I highly recommend her. She make sure that shes accessible to her students so if you ever need help just reach out to her and shell help you. She does everything she can to make sure you pass the class. Also her lectures are amazing and her test arent that difficult.
Professor Bailey is an amazing teacher, always quick to respond if you need any help on anything in the class. The work assigned was appropriate and integrated well with the textbook. I would recommend taking classes with her and as long as you do the work, she will do all she can to help you pass.
I have taken Professor Bailey twice and have been able to pass her classes with A's. As long as you participate and get the work done it is very easy to pass her class. She makes things clear & communicates well.
I definitely did not expect this class to be as interesting and fun as it was. The work was definitely not too tough, just make sure to read to do assignments and youll pass. Professor Bailey was genuinely such an amazing teacher and even though it was online, its obvious she cares for her students and wants them to succeed. 100% recommend.
This class has been a highlight this semester. Due to the circumstances of COVID-19 this semester was up in the air but, Professor Bailey made it so accessible. She knows what shes lecturing and knows how to explain things in a very sophisticated way. She gives a lot of homework but its there to help us learn. Overall I recommend this Professor.
Professor Bailey is very helpful, dont be afraid to reach out, shell do anything she can to help you. She does give out a lot of homework but its doable, just make sure you keep up with the readings. The homework really does help you understand what is being taught and it gets you prepared for the tests. Very enjoyable class, 100% recommend.
This is my 4th time taking a class with Professor Bailey. Show up and do the work. If you lag and dont keep up with the assignments you will fall behind. If you have issues with an assignment, shes easy to get ahold of.
This professor actually cares a lot about her students. She was there every time I had a question or concern and responded quickly. She was always positive and supportive. Her instructions were always clear and precise. I cant say enough good things about her, honestly. One of the best professors or teachers that I have ever had!
My professor helped me out a lot, i loved the way she taught the class. Very excited i was in her class.
Honestly she is truly an awesome professor. It is a fast pace class, so be ready to read and participate. She is truly fair, she cares about her students doing well in class. She is quick to respond to your emails. You do learn a lot in her class. You wont regret taking her class.
I truly enjoyed Professor Bailey's class this semester. Even though it was a summer school course and was condensed, she did an awesome job of keeping you on track and not creating too much course work. If things got stressful, she was there to help you out and was always accessible. I would take her course again. Highly recommended.
Get ready to read, Your text book is online and you will be able to work with others but at the same time she is a tough grader. She very nice and will be willing to work with you.
She's passionate about the subject, but many assignments felt like busywork. Tough grader and instructions weren't always clear. This course specifically (CHLD 158) felt repetitive and mundane. It was nice to have a free online textbook, but it was very confusing to use for our discussions. If you do all the work, you can easily pass.
This class was your usual child development class. I wouldnt say its hard at all. I feel that if you do the assignments on time you can definitely get a passing grade.
I took two classes with Mrs. Bailey the past two semesters. I had a really good experience in Mrs. Bailey's class especially with this pandemic going on. She would assign work and due dates that were very flexible and would give us enough time to complete the assignments. Good lectures, very organized, available when needed, and kind. :)
Great professor! I taken all her classes and I have learned alot..I love her feedback because it helps to do better. Bailey always available to help.
Professor Bailey is a very reasonable prof who wants you to succeed in her class. In the class I took there were no exams: the most important thing is keeping track of many smaller assignments and showing up for class. Professor Bailey is smart and down to earth, and she will explain complicated things in a way that makes sense.
Professor Baileys class had a simple and easy set up. I enjoyed her class. About 2 assignments weekly, discussion boards & 1 research paper. Super easy. What I didnt like was that her tests were incoherent to the study guides she provides. Other than that easy class! Passed it with an A.
Some assignments are in class that are worth points
Great class. Attendance is important because there are a lot of in class assignments. Offers a free ebook of the required textbook. Professor Bailey really cares about what she is teaching which makes you interested.
Homework is far and few, a lot of it that you do is a simple discussion post that isn't bogged down by unnecessary bloat like many general ED classes can feel like sometimes. Her lectures are incredibly fun, and participation, while you don't have to do, enhances the whole experience. There is a paper, but nothing extremely formal is required.
For being an online class, I understand everything does have to be turned in by midnight on weekdays but there were some assignments that just made it impossible to do so, such as having to find teachers to interview on a days notice. Also some of her lectures are not clear, the textbook and lectures do not have ALL the information you need.
Expect 10 mins for a test with 10 questions. With long questions involving typing in an answer and if you have errors it will be wrong. Also she doesn't give feedback, when she fails you on a paper.
Expect to be given a test/quiz and get through it with only 10 minutes for 15 questions. No extra credit given even though stated.Not understanding. Would not take course with her!!
Professor Bailey has been amazing all semester. She is very understanding and sets clear guidelines through the whole semester. There is a textbook but it is free and very easy to navigate. The lectures are very interesting and Bailey gives opportunities for everyone to participate in discussions. I 100% recommend taking a class with her.
Great professor that prioritizes absorbing the main concepts of a class rather than memorizing minor details. Lots of group work opportunities, and many real life applications. You are encouraged to do your own research as well and connect the topics in class to your own life.
Lectures were clear and understandable professor Bailey also made sure we understood before moving on. We had sufficient time in quizzes and tests. I will definitely be taking her again for another course.
This class was fun and informative. Professor Bailey was very helpful with the learning process
Professor Bailey is the best teacher because she truelly cares about the industry and her students. Her teaching style is easy to follow by the use of PowerPoint with a lecture and hands-on projects to reinforce want we learned. Be prepared to be in class every session because there are a lot of fun projects and group activities to do.
She was a very nice professor, not too harsh on the grading. Very easy to communicate and get help from. Online course was great some assignments were easy some took a little longer to understand. Take your time on assignments do not rush yourself. Overall very good class I really learned a lot!
Professor Bailey does a wonderful job of getting information across quickly and efficiently. Her class is not test heavy and the final is typically just a self reflection of what was learned in the course which is amazing! You'll learn a lot and have a lot of fun in her class. 10/10 would recommend.
If you are a childhood development major, I'm sure this class is fine. Since I'm only taking it for the credits, I don't find the amount of work and time having to be put into this class enjoyable. The audio on the lecture videos are choppy.
Professor Bailey's class has a straightforward setup. While tests can be tricky, the course overall is manageable. Unstuck AI and the textbook are great study aids.
