Comment:

She cares about her students and has story + activities to help students remember the subject. Theres weekly quizzes but you get unlimited attempts. Theres a group project (individual paper on results + a group PowerPoint), and a research paper. The midterm and final exam are both papers and are about the information we learned in class

Great professor, really knowledgeable and her lectures are interesting. Her class consisted of around 10 assignments, including a research paper and a group project. Fair grading and her quizzes are easy if you study and are familiar with all the theories she throws at you!

Fun lectures that are simple to understand. She gives many examples about the concepts and will try her best to help students that need it. Very approachable and a fun character. There are only a few assignments so do your best on all of them. One group project, term paper, and two exams

Comment:

Her lectures "dumb down" the book. She does a good job explaining the material. The 10 page research paper is long and dry. Group Project was decent. midterm and final were hard. You must attend her lectures. Reading the book is too complicated to understand without her lectures.

Great professor. She is a really good lecturer and does everything possible to make students understand the material. She helps students to do well on the exams. GRoup project is not enjoyable and the one ten page paper is horrible.

Such a fun class! Really interesting material and an engaging environment. Grade is based solely on midterm, final, term paper, and big group project, all of which are fairly easy but if you mess up on one you probably won't do so well. She is so sweet and I highly highly highly recommend taking her class. You'll learn a lot and enjoy going.

Dr. Bee-Gates is AMAZING! Her lectures are really clear and she makes sure everyone understands before she moves on. Don’t bother buying textbook but make sure you show up to lectures or you won’t do well on the tests.

Professor Bee-Gates is a wonderful teacher! She cares about her students success and it shows. She gives opportunity for extra credit from the get-go to do a short and fun presentation. The papers and tests are a bit difficult but as long as you keep up with readings and assignments and stay on track with papers, you should do great.

She's nice and the material covered seems a bit less in depth than other upper-div chad classes. 2 exams, 2 papers, and presentation. The group presentation is with an individual paper. Some of her instructions are unclear so you should email her to clarify. There's a library and art museum field trip too. Enjoy your 10 page final paper.

BEST PROFESSOR EVER! TAKE HER CLASS. If you don't want to buy the books, you really don't have to, but if you decide on that, make sure you attend all of her lectures. She is amazing and her lectures are clear. Fair grader and if you ask her for help, she is happy to give it. She also offers a lot of extra credit!

Great Class! Bee-Gates is one of my favorite teachers that is very supportive and easy to approach. I learned a lot in this class and would take any of her classes. Tests are not difficult if you have been keeping up with the readings and are reviewing the notes. The paper is a bit tough but it really prepares you to be a good writer.
