Comment:

I was in the process of switching my major and needed the mandatory code to schedule for next semester. Because I switched my major, she refused to give me my code. She gave me a hard time about switching saying I was making a mistake. I did not appreciate her rude attitude I was given during our meeting. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. HORRIBLE ATTITUDE!

Comment:

I love Dr. Best. She helped me to enjoy science in a way I had not before. There are a lot of assignments, but she is an easy/fair grader. I must admit, at first I thought she was kind of annoying because of her deep love and obsession for Howard Gardner. But at some point during the semester it became more funny than annoying.

Comment:

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Best, and I think she is an amazing Professor. She has always been so incredibly helpful and understanding. Some professors don't care that things happen in your life outside of school, but Dr. Best was great about this. She could be a little unorganized/not 100% clear at times, but overall she is great!

Dr. Best is a great professor. The class required a lot of work but she was fair when it came to grading. I learned a lot, too. I would take her again without hesitation.

Comment:

The biggest waste of time and $700. Dr.Best is the WORST professor I have ever taken. Disorganized, rude and treats her students like babies. I swear if I hear write this down one more time I will implode I can't understand WHY Edinboro allows this to continue I would rather have a red hot poker jabbed in my eye than take another class from her!!!

She's a great professor and she always is willing to help you and say nice things to you. I would take her again for sure. I don't know why everybody is hatin on Linda.. they are probably just jealous that she's so smart. She's pretty easy too if you do your work which she grades pretty easy, but the tests were kinda tricky.

Dr. Best is really dedicated and willing to work hard to make sure that her students understand anything. Sometimes she loses papers though so just make sure she gets everything and keep backups. Really nice person too.

Comment:

This professor is horrible! You will learn nothing by taking her. She loves to hear herself speak, and nothing she says is relevant to what you need to learn. It has been easy so far, but has been the most boring and useless class I have had yet at Edinboro. DO NOT take Dr. Best!

She is awful. She has key phrases that she repeats over and over and over. Her class is super boring and I have learned absolutely NOTHING from her. What a waste of time.

Comment:

A complete waste of my time and money. Spends too much time talking about herself and not enough on class material. The semester is almost over and we've hardly accomplished a fraction of the objectives. If you really want the class to benefit you and your degree, take a section other than Dr. Best.

I had Dr. Best for student teaching and found her to be very helpful. She was there to supervise me at every placement and she always let me know what to expect.

Comment:

She comes across as being a really nice person and wants to be this perfect teacher. However, she is extreamly disorganized and you never know what is going on in the class. You will never know what assigments are due when and how she expects them to be done. She does not give good direction and she gets off task a lot.
