Comment:

Too difficult, very unfair grading system. I made sure with her that every absence I had was excused, which she confirmed, and then I went from an A- to a B because she never gave me credit for attendance. Her work is very agitating as well.

Comment:

What a joke! This class made my life stressful as I naviagated my engineering course load. The book is boring and biased to boot. Sandy is loud and talks on and on. The work-load is ridiculous and the final is terrible (very few pass the final).

Comment:

This class was assigned to me my first semester of college. The biggest problem I had was that you're expected to put a lot of time into the class. It is only a 100 level class, and it should be treated as such. Not everyone taking the class is in that major, so not that much should be required of everyone taking the class.

Comment:

I agree with the previous person, she is not that bad, I think it felt kind of confusing with a big class, but I was in larger classes that were much worst, I think she was fine, and she really tried to make it interesting

I don?t know what people are talking about. Berkowitz is not bad at all, just do the readings and the home work, and you would be fine. I liked her little jokes it helped feel more relaxed in such a big class

Comment:

This class was HELL. The work was insanely excessive, the online class tool was confusing and misleading. They don't tell you half of your assignments because it's your duty to religiously check the horrible online tool. The textbook is dry to say the least. Attendance to pointless lectures is mandatory. Never take this class if you can avoid it.

Comment:

I was kinda forced into taking the class and I kept it because I thought Berowitz was a cool prof. Not so much any more. Don't like the class anymore and it's always disorganized. The TA was HOT though which made the class bearable.

Great Prof. Knows her stuff but you better be willing to work. No matter what you take with her she's not going to just give you a good grade. She's helpful if you put the time in.

Its a difficult course. The exams and papers are very hard because she wants very in depth essays that are very rhetorical and wants a lot of details/information, and her questions are very confusing.

She's not a bad person, she just has a lot of work, it's hard to grasp, and it's really boring. But shes a great person though, and if one person could teach the class, she is the person.
