She is the worst. I cant belive that anyone has actually said that they have liked her on here. This class sucks. She makes you feel dumb. You have a new paper to do probably every week. Her assignments are never clear and shes confusing. Shes also a nut. Save yourself, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!!

Comment:

omg i suffered throughout this whole class. I bought all these materials for basically nothing. She tells you to buy all these colors. You only need one of each trust me. All the hw is drawing and painting which I suck at. Beba herself is a nut but she's understanding so it evens out. Overall, I did not like this class but it was a gen ed so idk

Beba is the best! the only thing was this was a visual imagination class and when she got busy doing the show she would end class early and would want everyone to go help with costumes for the rest of class, i didnt mind but some did. you need to be there, and she has trouble explaning what she wants someties but you will get it! loved her class!

She is one of the kindest professors at Ramapo. The work she gives you is based upon your own skill set. I would definitely recommend taking her classes.

Beba's one of the nicest professors at this school. She's knowledgeable about her craft and imparts that knowledge with a real zest that makes it fun to learn about. Her assignments are creatively-thought out and don't feel like assignments. If you get the chance, take a class with her.

Beba is a wonderfully, spirited person and professor! Absolutely LOVE her! She is an integral part of the Ramapo Theater department and so knows her stuff. She does give work, but tries to make it interesting and creative. This is college guys... Hate to break it to you, but there WILL be work and you WILL learn a thing or two doing it.

Beba is the best. she's very fair â€" do the reading and you’ll do just fine. Slack off, and your grade will reflect it. She’s my role model, she’s a stupendous designer, and a great teacher. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, sometimes she forgets that the people around her don’t know everything she does!

fantastic professor and class. she's a lot of fun and makes class fun. expects you to get your projects done on time and do the occasional readings, but she's willing to help you as much as she can. you'll learn a lot about clothing in this class

I got news for those of you who were angry about her making you see plays. EVERY theatre class at Ramapo requires you to see plays. If you don't want anything to do with theatre, don't take a theatre class. GOSH!

Beba is awesome :) Sure, she talks about costumer design a lot - but she knows her stuff! She has done a lot of interestesing things in her career which she shares. More work in the 2nd half - be prepared to write and see plays! A few minor reaction papers, too. Overall enjoyable class!

This is an intro class to theatre, but all she can talk about is her history in costume. it gets redundant and annoying. if i wanted a theatre costume class, i'd take it. no dice.

loopy, but a nice lady. very busy and often gets mixed up in her own thought trains. admits to not being a seamstress, but she knows her stuff and is a valuable resource for those who like costume/theatre.
