This class was difficult due to the readings and the quizzes were hard. Betty is a fair grader and if you go to her for help she will help you. She comes off mean in class if she can tell you did not do the readings and if you do not pay attention or care. If you participate and add something to the discussion in class you will be fine.

Betty Bayer pushes you. period. If you aren't willing to learn, don't take any classes with Betty. She's tough, but she is always there to help you if you need it. One of the best professors I've had.

Comment:
She is an amazing teacher. Honestly the only people who don't like her are those that could care less about womens rights (trust me they're in my class). The readings are a lot, and we have an essay due every time we finish a book, but her grading is very fair. I would love to take another class with her.

If you're looking for an easy class, then Betty Bayer is not the professor for you. However, we are here at college to challenge ourselves and that is what she does. She is challenging, knowledgeable, and interesting, albeit somewhat opinionated, but she allows room for others opinions. She may contest them, but she'll never tell you, you're wrong.

Betty Bayer requires people to think and to work. People who are lazy and listen to gossip are going to miss out on her kindness and intelligence. Don't take her if you are in it to loo cute for the boys. Otherwise, you will learn a lot from this amazing woman. I miss her.

Betty Bayer's class is bittersweet. During, you sometimes have the urge to die because there is SO much reading in one night. BUT, once you figure out what she's looking for, the reading can be done with more ease. I AM SO HAPPY I TOOK THIS CLASS. I am not going to be a womens studies major, BUT i appreciate the perspectives I gained.

Comment:
It was the worse experience of my time at HWS. I reject these comments that Betty was "not liked because she's too hard" etc. That's not it at all!!! She's just a mean person. All you have to do is parot back to her what she says, and THEN she likes you. But if you have your own thought, or 1 that disagrees with her, she's a freak viper

Comment:
None of these negative comments are because Betty requires a lot work. That's why we come to HWS: all professors work us It's because she's so mean to anyone who disagrees with her. Grow up William Smith students; don't be such a suck up because you were one of the few she would actually treat with respect.

Betty is one of the best professors at HWS. She is smart & well read, & expects the same from her students. People don't like her because she makes you work your butt off and she excepts nothing less than your best. At the end of her classes though you have learned soo much & you are a better person for it. I come visit her everytime I am in town.

Amazing Inspiring woman who pushes you and works you hard to get the best out of you. A true activist and worker for peace, an excellent collaborator and event planner. I hope to do an independent study with her.

Betty is amazing! She is one of my top 5 fave proffs ever. She's no doubt tough, but you will be better for it at the end of the semester. Her activism is unparalleled on this campus, and she really is an amazing person and professor, albeit very opinionated (which I loved!)

Betty is one of my favorite professors on campus. I wish I was able to take more classes with her. Sometimes she assigns challenging reading, but it's worth it. She is extremely smart and very well spoken in class. I wish I got to know more of her opinions on things. Definitely take a class with her!

I think that Professor Bayer is one of the best professor that I have had at the colleges. I am stunned to hear the reports that people are giving her. I think that she is a very smart and wise woman and I would recommend taking any class with her that you could!
