Comment:

I really enjoyed taking Farbs class. She was super understanding and always allowed you to correct mistakes that you made on assignments. She grades in low incriminates, which can feel weird at first but by the end of the class I really liked it! Participate in all areas and if you do your work, you will get an A. Highly recommend her class!!

Comment:

This class and professor are amazing. As long as you do the readings and write opinionated and detailed work you'll have no problem. The material and lectures are very interesting especially if your going into the medical field. Farb gives you chances to make up additional points that you may have lost due to incomplete work.

Comment:

Bev was one of the sweetest, most caring professors I've ever had. Her online class was super easy and mainly consisted of lectures, 10-question quizzes, three experiments, and a couple write-ups. She knows how to get students involved in the course work and is incredibly cooperative and understanding.

Comment:

The class is pretty easy IMO. As long as you do the readings and take the quizzes you will do fine. There are a couple survey projects but they are not too complicated. More of a glorified sociology class , but if you are interested in this field you will like this class.

Comment:

Brutal quizzes twice a week with ridiculously misleading answers. If you don't read the chapter multiple times you won't score above a 50% on them, even with the book in front of you. Unnecessary time-consuming projects for undergrads such as survey's, interviews, observations. Shes nice but has really made a class I was looking forward to stink.

Farb is honestly the best professor I have ever had. Shes super nice and is willing to give second chances. Her lectures are pretty cool! Lots of different input goes into her assignments. Her class isnt hard just read what is given and complete the work. I learned a lot from her and enjoyed her class.

Beverly Farb was a great instructor. She was easy to contact outside of class, the class was engaging, and the assignments were challenging enough but not impossible. As long as you read the textbook and put in the necessary time, the class is enjoyable and definitely doable.

I thoroughly enjoyed this class and the professor. There was a lot of work with a lot of writing which is expected. While it was an online class, Farb did an amazing job with her posted lectures. I never felt lost and she is always available with great feedback for you to improve. Her response rate was the best I've seen from any professor.

Comment:

Dr. Farb is a really great teacher and the Medicine Across Cultures class isn't too difficult, even for an Online Class. The key is that you have to read and be receptive to the material. Otherwise, you might become lost in the dialog. Even so, she'll give you plenty of chances to make up points.

She reviews your work, tells you what if anything was wrong, and then allows you to go back and correct it for full credit. Making sure that her students understand the subject is a top priority for her and it shows.

Bev has a great grading tactic and makes you work for it although she does allow you second chances to recover docked points. Her lectures aren't painful to read and there was a nice little surprise after we read one of them. Great teacher and I thoroughly enjoyed this class! Glad I waited to take it with her!

Comment:

One of my favorite online teachers. She gives good feedback and responds super fast. The only hard part for me was the amount of reading and lack of interest I had which is why I rate it a 3 difficulty. Either way, don't slack. The class avg on a lot of assignments were really low so she doesn't just hand out A's. There's extra credit thoug

Super easy class. Online, different due dates for things. Class consists of four units, each being about three weeks long that typically include 2-5 quizzes (two try's, 15 questions each), one or two lectures you read, and one essay, usually a data survey you create or a book you read. Gives great feedback, always grades at a fast pace.

Comment:

Sociology is a REALLY easy class (I took it online) but there is a lot of reading to do, so your textbook is mandatory. The professor replies really fast to emails and gives really clear directions if you have any questions. She's an easy grader and besides the reading, not too much work.

Dr. Farb is an amazing instructor. She brings her passion for knowledge to her lectures and to her class. Her online structure is fantastic and she even makes it easy to work ahead in case you have scheduling conflicts. Fun projects, great group activities (even online), and fun and interesting quizzes.

This online class is based off 100 Total points- that's it! It is pretty intimidating at first,but it ended dup being fine. Most quizzes are worth 3 points for example, so forgetting about a quiz you are screwed. Every little thing and quiz question that is worth .25 points matters. But she has clear grading so it's an easy A if you pay attention

I really liked Bev because she was very flexible and always gave wonderful responses. She even let me edit my work to get 100% on assignments! Would take her again if I was staying at EvCC. She is wonderful - take her if you are taking anthropology and/or sociology!!!
