By far the best prof i've ever had. Very understanding & actually cares about the feedback that students have about the material. Thoroughly explains all the lecture topics & the course pack is literally her slides so you aren't going crazy copying everything down like in other classes. If you do the readings & study you're guaranteed to do well.

Overall, Beth was a good teacher and I'd take her again! Her lectures were engaging, interesting and she did some fun activities. She is a fairly hard marker so you do have to put in an effort and work hard but you'll learn a lot.

I enjoyed her class! She's very passionate about what she teaches and I love her teaching methods. Just take notes and listen to her lectures, then you will do amazing on the exam. The debates aren't tough, just do your research and present for a good 5 minutes. She is stricter some days but not unfair. She's amazing :)

Her tests are very fair. Read textbook, listen in lecture and you'll be fine. You have to do a debate in her class so do that as soon as possible to get it out of the way. Very passionate about the subject. You get marks for participation and attendance.

Comment:

I took CRIM 1100 online, I suggest not doing that as it's a lot of materials to learn on your own. Weekly discussions worth 2 marks, 3 submitted 1200 word essays (you're supposed to do one every unit but only submit 3 for grading.. screw that!), and one final. I didn't do good on the final, but ended up pulling 80/100 for my overall grade.

Comment:

Beth is an amazing teacher. I have so far taken two of her classes and would not mind taking them again. She is a bit of a though marker. But you have to put in some effort and you would pass very well. HER STUDY GUIDES ARE EXTREMELY HELPFUL. She takes time out to review last lass material at the start of every class. DO NOT MISS CLASS!!!!!!

Wow, Beth is my all time favorite prof, especially at Douglas. I was devastated when I had taken every class she teaches, knowing that my time with her was practically done. She is intelligent and passionate about what she does.. take her corrections course and above all, take her class on the female offender. love you Beth!!

Watch out for this one. One day she likes you and the next she doesn't. She's quite rude and does not hesitate to make you look stupid in front of the class. Her course pack is a money grab. Her assignments aren't hard but quite frankly I'd rather take a hard class then have to listen to her for another semester. Has a lot of attitude.

Comment:

Once you understand what she's looking for with the assignments she assigns it's incredibly easy to achieve a high grade however understanding what she wants is the difficult part. I even asked and her answers were quite vague, I was left to figure most things out on my own. Final exam is all multiple choice t/f.

Comment:

Unclear at first but once you understand her expectations it's quite easy to achieve an A in her class. Assignments - reference ALL relevant material from the textbook, don't leave out ANYTHING if you want top marks. Make use of practice exams and you'll do well on the final. I barely studied and still did well.

I really liked her classes. Her exams were based mostly on the notes in class so I found that her tests were pretty easy. Whenever I had a question about anything she always gave a clear answer. We did have to do a debate, but it was easy.

Loved her class. Must show up for class, take notes, and read your text book. Shes up for discussions and gives you plenty of oppurtunites to request help and ask questions. Debate(10%) and paper(15%) werent bad. Tests All written no M/C. She knows her stuff when it comes to feminism. Again loved this class.
